Myths and Legends

 Kia Ora Readers 

Welcome back to my blog today I will be discussing about what we have been doing in reading which was learning about the Myths and Legends. For me I liked reading the stories of the Myths and Legends because it has a interesting story line. I also liked the activities that we're included to do after reading the stories. In this week I was proud on doing the disagree and agree statements because I was able to express my thoughts and write about how I agree and disagree about the story. Further more this activity also includes on making some ideas on how to fix the problem of the story. Basically this activity includes creating some sentences to why you agree or disagree about something and also includes creating some other ideas on solving a problem.

I think everything went pretty well except I wasn't able to finish the work in time that I was given, and the screenshot of the work was blurry. But I was able to make my work presentable and with effort. 

Here is the activity that I have made.

Thank you for reading my blog please leave a feedback below about this blog post. Hopefully you liked this blog. Have a nice day.

Myths and legends

 Kia Ora Readers 

Welcome back to my blog today I will be discussing the things that we did in hurumanu which was learning about the Myths and legends. For the last few days we had been learning about Maui which what this blog is mainly about. But next week we can pick which Myths or legend we can do from different countries. In this hurumanu we had some videos and text that has the story about How Maui slowed the sun. We did a lot of activities such as creating an advertisement who can slow the sun.We also did some things around the main idea and supporting idea which basically is writing about the main idea and the supporting ideas. Furthermore we also did some recall and inferences where we had to answer some questions.

I think everything went well but I wasn't able to finish one slide and the I wasn't also able to save the advertisement but got a screenshot. My favourite part is when we created the advertisement because I was able to pick any poster that I wanted and get to design it. 

Here is the story of How Maui stopped the sun.

And here is the screenshot of poster that I have made.

Art

 Kia Ora Readers 

Welcome back to my blog today I will be talking about on what we are doing in art which was learning/ identifying about the background, foreground, Flora,Foliage,middle ground and repetition. We learned this using some paintings using a jungle painting which has some repetitive things on it. We also annualised some of them and I think everything wen't pretty well. 

Here are some of the definitions of it.

Foliage is the leaves, plant. Flora are the plants from a region or era.What's a background? A background is the further-est thing on the painting.What's a fore ground? A foreground is basically the closest thing on the painting or a something that is in the end of the painting.What's a Middle ground? A middle ground is basically between both background and foreground.

Thank you for reading my blog hopefully you've enjoyed reading it.

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.
