Kea

  Kia Ora Readers

Welcome back to my blog today I'll be sharing another one of the DLO's of the Uncle Don Knows Heaps Of Wacky Stuff, today I've decided to do the Kea because of the fact that I saw on the book and I also liked how the Kea looked because it was colourful inside it's feathers. If you've never seen the previous blogs that I have made about the book and DLO well those blogs were basically about this book called  Uncle Don Knows Heaps Of Wacky Stuff which had a lot of facts about the flora and fauna which I found interesting and I also liked how they placed the facts around the whole book pages. The DLO were basically about the flora or fauna that we picked for the week, we also create one DLO every week and read about 4-6 pages once a week. We do this times of things in hurumanu 1 which is Nga Tangata. 

For this DLO I used the venngage templates because I liked how the first one turned out and they also had a lot of range of templates to pick from. I think everything went well except the part when I had to save the DLO.

Here is the DLO that I've made, hopefully you can read it properly and not blurry. 

 This hurumanu was fun to do and researching and learning about the flora and fauna was interesting and fun, and I really enjoyed the part where we were able to make a DLO about them. Thank you for reading this far hopefully you've enjoyed this blog, and I'm pretty sure that this is the last post about this DLO. Leave a comment below of what you think about this blog. 

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.

Eels

Kia Ora Readers!

Welcome back to my blog today I will be talking about what we have been doing in hurumanu 1( Nga tangata) this hurumanu is about reading, and for the last few weeks we were reading this book called Uncle Don Knows Heaps Of Wacky Stuff which has a lot of interesting facts about Flora and fauna. We also were doing some DLO about the creatures and other stuff we think that is interesting. This week I choose to do the Eels because I think it's interesting and has good facts on the book that I was reading. I also picked it because of the facts that I have seen in the book that I have never know about it. 

Here is the poster that I have made for the Eels 

The Eels were really interesting to research about, and I also learned a lot of stuff about them. I also like using canva because it looks more interesting and fun to read because of all the designs that they have than just using a google doc. I also think that this hurumanu went well because I really enjoyed reading the book because it wasn't really like the other books it was more fun to read because of how they placed the paragraphs around the book.

Here is one of the pages of the book that I was reading.

I hope you liked this blog and leave a comment below of what you think of this blog. Have a nice day!

Drama

Kia Ora Readers!

Welcome back to my blog today I will be talking about what we have been doing for the last few weeks here in drama. I've been here in drama for the whole term this term and through those years I've really liked it because of how the teacher thought us the lessons and we also did some games that are about drama to improve our acting skills and other stuff. Drama thought me some lessons such as how to act your role properly, and it also improved my confidence of standing on the stage.

Here in drama we did a lots of stuff like acting and we also played some games like:

• Wink murderer-  which basically needs quite a bit of people to play it, two players has to be the murderer and detective. The detective has to go outside so he/she won't know who the murderer is, and the other players has to pick the murderer for the game. The murderers job is to wink to kill the other players before he/she gets caught.
• Hide n seek- this game is also famous since a bunch of people know this game, this game includes a seeker to find the players and the other players have to hide, and whoever gets caught the last wins. 
• Night in the museum- This game is really good on testing how still you can be for a certain amount of time. This game needs a police that checks the museum and the rest of the players needs to be a statue of something and stay still till the game is over. We also played some games like park bench, JFK, and you. 

In my personal opinion the drama this term is really fun because the teacher is nice like other one's and our teacher this term is also really good at making things interesting and fun. Thank you for reading my blog I hope you enjoyed reading it! leave a comment below on what you think about it.
