A Quality Blog Post

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about how to make a Quality Blog Post. We had to learn about the 6 things for a Quality Blog Post. Here was the 6 things we had to learn about: title, introduction, D.L.O, reflection, sources and a question. I felt amazing learning about this because it will help improve my blogging. From now on I am going to try really hard to remember to reflect on what I was learning. Do you bloggers think I could improve my blogging?

Beach Clean Up

In Te Ngahere we did a beach clean up. We had to go down to our beach and clean it. We had to bring shoes so we didn’t step on glass or anything sharp. We needed gloves to pick up rubbish so we couldn’t touch anything dirty or sharp. I learned that there were too many cigarette butts around the beach. I also felt good picking up the rubbish that people dropped because we could’ve made our beach beautiful. People liked to drop bottles around the beach and hide it because the rubbish bin was in a Liquor Ban Area. We picked up rubbish on the beach so the marine life in the ocean can live. I hope we get to do this again. It was fun picking the rubbish. Seeya!

How To Keep Your Teeth Healthy

In Te Ngahere we had the dentist coming to our school and checking our teeth, she came to our class room and told us about what Oral Hygiene was. She told us the best ways to brush our teeth, she also told us if we brush our teeth the wrong sort of way we wouldn’t be able to keep our teeth clean and healthy. She told us to brush our teeth in circles because it can keep our teeth and gums healthy and clean. They had a toothpaste that could check if we brush our teeth everyday and night, I couldn’t remember what the colours were but I think if you put the paste on your teeth and rinse your mouth out and the water came out pink that would mean you haven't brushed your teeth in a few days like 2-3 days. I learned new things about brushing your teeth and how to keep your teeth healthy and clean. I hope we could do this again. See you later!

How to REUSE Images

In Te Ngahere we have been REUSING Images. Whenever you see a photo with a link below you have to click on the link and then try to find the license for it. If it says ✔ you can use the photo but if the photo says ‘Credit Needed’ that means you have to give credit to the person that took the photo. The things I never knew about was that the link below the photo was a website to the person who took the photo. I learned to check the license of the photo and to see if I could use the photo. I have made a DLO on a google slide teaching people how to reuse images here is my DLO:

How To Reuse Images 

Reusing Images

In Te Ngahere we have been Reusing & Attributing Images we have been learning to use the right images for our work. I realised that there was a link on the photo and when you clicked on it you could find a license. If it says you could use it for advertisement or commercials you are allowed to use it. If I didn’t check if I could use it, it would’ve been copyright also we had to choose images that go in place; School, Favourite Food, Something Green, Favourite Pet, Mountain and a Sunset. We had to copy the License of the photo into our google slide so we know where it came from. I learned new stuff because I’ve never checked if I could use the image. From now on I will be telling other people to check if they could use it or make my own image saying that they could use it for advertisement or commercials. I hope I could make a image so other people could use it for backgrounds or advertisement. I hope we get to do it again. Bye!

Word Problems

In Te Ngahere for maths we have been doing word problems. We were in different groups. My buddies were Kingi and Dale when we started word problems Kingi wasn’t here. The first problem was really easy, we had to do 38 + 18 + 37 - 28. We had to show our working out, here was my way to solve it; remove the ones in the tens 30 + 10 + 30 = 70 then we had to add the ones together 8 + 8 + 7 = 23 then we had to add the answers together 70 + 23 = 93 then I did 93 - 28 = 65. It was really easy but it got harder, I didn’t enjoy number 4 it was really confusing, but then I solved it. I learned new ways to solve a problem and also math was really fun I hope we could do another word problem again. Seeya!

The NED's Show

On Thursday August 1st we had a professional yoyo-er called Nicole and her friend NED. She told us what NED’s name meant, the N stands for Never Give up and the E was Encourage others and the D stands for Do your best. The important messages that Nicole said was “Never use I know. When you encourage someone you give them courage then they will encourage other people.” After that NED went on a adventure to Mount Everest. He didn't know how to climb the mountain so a random yeti came to him. After the conversation NED had realised that he was climbing the mountain. He later went to a Pirate Island and then a pirate came. After that 1 hour he finally went on a spaceship. It was shaped like a brain. He knew that the aliens on the brainship was running out of fuel. He went to the engine room and fixed the problem. All of the brains people have need fuel to learn. The message for the show was “Never use the word I know use the word YET and always encourage other people” Bye!

Science Fair Blog

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about Science. Our project was to see what tea towel was the fastest at drying the plates. We got to test the Chef Towel, Old thin Purple plaid, Blue Towel (Plaid) and a Waffle towel. Our investigation was to see if the Chef towel was good. We had to test the tea towels both in hot water and cold water. I also learnt new stuff when I was doing the project. I learnt that the Chef towel was good when it was in the hot water. The challenging part was when I had to dry the plates, I used the old purple towel but it stopped drying the plates completely. I really enjoyed washing the dishes but when it came to drying the plates it was challenging. 

Cross Country Practise Time

In Te Ngahere we have been practising cross country at our school. We had the teachers telling us where we were supposed to go. We also had to do 2 laps around the Pump track and the court. The people who were fast had to go at the front and the people that were slow had to go to the back. Once we started everyone went running and started to push people because they wanted to be first. After 9 minutes everyone already finished, people were cheering a person called Anthony. We had to do 2 laps each day but then we had to do exercises before we started to run. We also had a time, whenever we finished the teacher would tell us our time. I had 10.01 on my first run, wish was bad because I walked when I was at the court, my last time was 7.43
