Lock Down

It is day 30 since New Zealand went into lock down and so far it has been pretty hard. being isolated from all of my friends and having no school is having such a large impact on my learning and fitness. I have been going on runs and trying to keep my fitness up but it is still hard to do as much running as I would do at school at home. My teachers are doing an amazing job at keeping me updated with new work. I really value and enjoy the class calls just because they keep me entertained throughout the day.

Science

In science we are learning about how to learn best in the classroom and out of one. We have had a couple of tests and debates on how you learn best, if its alone or in a group or with the teacher. Then our teacher needs to know where we are at in science, so that we aren't wasting time learning stuff we all ready know. 

Human Rights

We are learning about human rights and we had to choose a hero that did something that helped human rights. I chose Ellen DeGeneres. She is a  comedian and has a TV show but she is also gay. she made gay okay in 1999. I'm not Gay but I think that it is all good to be gay.

Waitangi Project

On Wednesday Whaea[teacher] Kerry, Monika and Tara came in to our class for the whole day with all of there equipment and helped us finish our virtual reality marae[meeting house]. The class had already got familiar with the equipment and started our projects. Since we only had 1 day to complete the project we made a marae[meeting house] that had everyone's poupou[carved pole] in it and one for the whole class together. My poupou had my family around the bottom, my tree sticking up the side, my marae[meetinghouse], and a stingray on the top. above our poupou we put our pepeha[information about a person] and made heaps of trees, plants and fences to surround the marae. At the end whaea[teacher] monika videoed a walk through of our marae[meeting house] in virtual reality.

Bens Waitangi Trip

On Wednesday our class went to Waitangi to continue what we had started a couple weeks ago. we started with a little revision to get us back up to speed then went and watched the powhiri at 1.00. Then we walked to the waka and learnt about them. I learnt that it takes 80 people to operate the waka and it is the largest of its kind in the world. After all of that went to the learning centre and all worked on our kiwi culture work. I made a picture of my home.

Good Netiquette In Class

Today in class we were learning about how to speak clearly, politely, and nicely to anyone in your social life. It is called netiquette like etiquette but on the net. we learnt what to say and what not to say and how to react if you get sent something inappropriate.

Waitangi Trip

On August the first my class went to Waitangi museum and education centre. Our subject in Social study's we were learning about kiwi culture and our culture. We went into room with heaps of mean  technology. All around  the room was stations with different toys. The first station was 2 robots that you can code and tell them what to do. then there were
Three tables with tablets which had
apps like Sculpting painting and
drawing. Then the popular one was
Virtual reality. The last two were
cameras with green screens and you
could make your own videos. We also
went through the museum and James
Busby house and learnt heaps about both of them. That day was just to learn how to use everything an the next day we would do it for real.
