Labour Weekend

Kia Ora Readers!

Welcome back to my blog today I will be talking about what we are doing here in wananga which is writing about what we did in labour day. Using S P I L E S which stands for:

•  S - Social activities (Friends, whanau)
•  P - Physical (e.g bike riding, running, sport)
•  I - Intellectual (e.g something you did to extend your thinking & learning such as reading, watching a demo on YouTube etc.)
• L - Likes ( things you enjoyed doing)
•  E - Emotional ( what sort of emotions during the break such as happy,sad,frustrated)
• S - Success (things I did that were successful e.g cooking, building something.

In the labour weekend I also accomplished some activities with my friends such as hanging out with them at the mall, going to the church anniversary. Further more I went to Hagley Park in the labour day to see the flowers bloom. Besides that I also went for walks in the parks including Hagley park with my family and some friends that I encounter with. We went and played some badminton in the park with my friend. I also watched some tutorials to bake some cakes and cupcakes for the birthday that I was attending to, Me and my sister also watched some videos on how to paint some flowers. 

I painted some flowers and some mountains to cure my boredom and they turned out better than I expected, I also watched some anime such as Ao haru ride. and some k-drama's because my phone was broken for a few days. My emotions were all over the place sometimes I felt happy and sometimes I felt sad, but I was also nervous when I wen't to the church anniversary because I wasn't close with anyone on the church. I think the painting was successful because it looked better than I expected and I was also able to create other flowers that I've never done successfully. 

Thank you for reading this far, I hope you enjoyed reading it. How was your Labour Weekend? Did you do anything interesting? hopefully you've enjoyed it! 

Kiwi's

Kia Ora Readers!

Welcome back to my blog today I will be sharing about what we have been doing for for the last few weeks here in hurumanu, which is the reading the Uncle Don Knows Heaps Of Wacky Stuff, this book contains lost of interesting facts and other stuff to research about. Every time we read 5-6 pages we also have to create a DLO about it. Today we were reading pages 17-22, the book had a lot of interesting things to research about, but For this week I wanted to create the DLO about the Kiwi's because of the facts I saw that was written on the book, and Iv'e also heard that they're the only bird that has nostrils at the end of their beak.

This time I decided to give Venngage a try since I've been using canva for a while, Venngage had a lot of nice posters and other stuff but I decided to do a green themed poster since it also includes nature. Venngage also allows you to change the colour of the Icons that you've chosen.

Here is a Screenshot of the DLO that I have created since I wasn't able to save it.

Things went well in my opinion except when I wanted to download the DLO it didn't let me so I had to take a screenshot which was kinda blurry.

Thank you for reading my blog hopefully you've learned something from reading this blog. I suggest reading Uncle Don Knows Heaps Of Wacky Stuff because it's interesting and has a different way of how they placed the texts and facts.
