Introducing myself in French

 Salut everyone!

Today before we went to technology we started to learn how to speak french! (I would also love to learn Spanish) We started off by learning the basics: Say Hello, Tell them Our Name, Tell them Our Age, Tell them Where we Live, Tell Them what Language we Speak. So we had to make an animation or video. I decided to make an animation! Well, I hope you like it! Do you know how to speak French?

Naming things with Maori words

 Hola bloggers!

On Wednesday we started making an animation! It was about any place in the world but we had to name 12 or more things with Maori words of the English word. (If you don't understand in sorry) We are doing this Maori animation because it is Maori language week! At our school, we are doing one Maori thing to celebrate Maori language week. On Monday we did a Kahoot to see how many Maori words we knew, on Tuesday I can't remember what we did, on Wednesday we started our animations, on Thursday I can't remember and today on Friday we are finishing our animations! Can you guys find how many Maori words I put in?

Adiós!

How to do Bedmas! (A bit Cringe)

 Kia ora Bloggers! 

For the last week or two, we have been learning how to do Bedmas! At first, I struggled a bit, but I think I got the hang of it after a while. But after all that learning we go to make a video, animation anything really. But I had to show you guys how to do Bedmas. If you don't know how to do Bedmas please watch this video? If you already know how to do it too you can watch it too? Anyway, I put a lot of effort into making this so I hope you can appreciate it? I made a script which took about half an hour to make, well something like that. The two actors are my two favourite toys Cheetah and Koda! (They are voiced by me) Also, I kind of messed up a bit so yeah... I started talking normally and forgot that my toys were supported to be talking. 😜 (Just remember my toys are talking not me! Lol...)

Well, I hope you enjoy my Video and maybe just maybe learn how to do Bedmas? Toodles!



(Also I really like the video)

Magical Matariki!!!

 Kia ora!!!

Today at school we got to finish our Matariki kites!!! My Matariki has a Taniwha on it!!! The background has a rainbow too!!! On the 2 July, we celebrated the Māori New Year, a time to consider the year ahead. The days are starting to lengthen and spring will soon be here, we just need to get through this cold winter first! 

Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.

Here's my Kite!!!

The printing of Matariki

Hey Bloggers 

Today we finished our Matariki pictures! 

Matariki is the Māori new year! People celebrate the Māori new year by having a hangi and other traditions. Do you celebrate Matariki, if you do what do you do to celebrate it?

Here is how we did it: 

1. We would Draw our draft, we would basically draw what we wanted our final outcome to look like. 

2. After we showed the teachers we could move on to drawing our draft on a foam block. 

3. We did that we would go showed the teachers and if they said it was okay we would go and paint role over the foam. 

4. If we finished that we would print our foam on a piece of paper. 

5. After it dried we would make a frame on it and wight our signatures. 

Anyway, that's all for today! Bye!!!

The sense test

 Hi Bloggers

I'm back today with another blog post! Today before tech we got to do a test on our senses. We would use a metal thingy to touch us, we also had a blindfold and a little ruler and a pencil to wright over results.

So when the metal thing touched my cheek I only felt 1 point. For my fingertip, I felt 2 points. Anyway, what I found interesting was the pattern of when I was touched on my fingertip. 

Bye bloggers see you next time!

The egg called Tester

 Welcome back, bloggers!

Today before tech we got to drop an egg off a belconey! Our egg was called tester he was Mexican! Our final product looked like a rocket ship or something like that, I think it looked cool, but it was not successful because we taped the roof of the egg but not at the bottom and that's where it was going to hit the ground first so our egg well letś just say he lived a good life. Next time we could probably not put our egg we're itś gonna get hit first. Bye and here is my google slide I did!

War story of the Jewish

 Well hi there

Today in literacy we finished our google sites! It has taken quite some time to make but we have finally done it. If you can guess by the title our websites are based on the holocaust. This event was horrific and disgusting.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

What you will see on my website

 The language you can expect to see is German and Jew and English. 

Our website is based on the holocaust but the whole reason we did the is because of this book called once if you want to know more about the book you can see it on my website.

The holocaust is where Adolf Hitler made the Jewish peoples lives miserable and even he would have them killed by taking them to concentration camps and torcher them.

My questions on my website

Who gave Hitler permission to start killing jews?

What happened to the Jewish people when they were taken to a camp?

Where did the Jews live?

When did the holocaust begin and end?

Why did Adolf Hitler choose to kill the Jewish?

How did the Jews hide their Identity?

What I found out

I found out how the Jews lives were and som much more.

My website

_____________________________________________________________________________________

What do you think about the holocaust?

Yanny or Laurel?

Hi Bloggers

Today in literacy we were learning about these two words that are Yanny and Laurel. Why you may ask well there has been a cool illusion with the two words Yanny and Laurel I don't know why this happens but here are some articles about it if you want to read more about it. Link Link Link

Why do some people hear Laurel and some people hear Yanny? People who hear or weight high/mid-high frequency more strongly will hear Yanny. The perception of Laurel is experienced when the lower frequency information is dominant in the experience.

Can people hear both? Since they're so hard to tease apart, visually and acoustically, some people will perceive it to be a single smooshed-together frequency, while others will hear both. If you hear two frequencies in this area, you're probably going to hear Laurel.

One of the websites links for Yanny and Laurel well you can change the pitch of the volume and if you make the volume higher you will her yanny and if you make it lower you will hear laurel! Anyway, bye bloggers and Ill see you later!

Camp of 2021

Hi Bloggers!

We're back from camp at Wainui! We all had a great time but on the last day, we were all very tired and pleased to see our families and sleep in our own beds. 

 I would like to share with you my favourite activity! [I actually have two but I could only do one so I picked the more exciting one.] Coasteering. Have you heard of it? 

What happens in Coasteering? We climbed across rocks beside the ocean to get to a certain rock where it was safe to jump into the sea. There are 3 main jumps at Wainui. The first one is Baby Bear - he is the smallest jump. Then we had to swim to an island where there are 2 more rocks to jump off. The next jump is Mama Bear. She is the second tallest jump, but to me, she looked and felt smaller than Baby Bear. Last but not least is the mighty Papa Bear. Sadly we didn't have time to do this jump - but I would have done it if I could! Papa Bear is about the size of your ceiling! After this fun, we had to swim all the way back to land. 

While we wore wetsuits, when I jumped in I was taken by surprise at how cold it was. BUT, if I could do it again, I would!

(The other activity that I loved, but that I can't tell you about was kayaking!]

Here is an animation about me and Cameron Coasteering off Baby Bear.
