Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori - Tūtawa mai Karakia

Kia ora e te whānau! Kei te tino harikoa mātou mō Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori! To start of our Māori language week we recorded we decided to do our karakia that we have been learning in class over the term. It is a well known and very easy karakia called Tūtawa mai. Check out some of our class doing this karakia with actions. Can you learn this Karakia and put it on your blog as well?

    

                                                                      Here is the lyrics

Tūtawa mai i runga
Tūtawa mai i raro
Tūtawa mai i roto
Tūtawa mai i waho
Kia tau ai te mauri tū,
te mauri ora ki te katoa
Haumi e, hui e, tāiki e

Cycbersmart Challenge #8 - Google Presentation Animations

Cycbersmart Challenge #8 is all about Google Presentation Animations. We learnt how to create animations for our blogs using Google Slides and the 'duplicate' function on our slides. Our wero or challenge was to create a sailing boat using the auto shapes and line tools. We also had to add a background slide to make it look more realistic. From there we learnt how to use the 'duplicate' tool to copy our background and move our sailing boat. The idea was to try and replica real movement of a ship through water. Here are some of our activities by  Sione, Briana and Vili.

Grammar Practice What are Common Nouns?

 

In class as a refresher to the new school year, we have been remembering all our basic grammar. In particular, sentence structure and parts of speech, including nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions. We have started with our common nouns first. A common noun is a word that names a person, a place, a thing or an animal. A noun can tell who or what. Here are some of our activities by Sione and Briana.

The Great Big Hearing Check

 During our Week 5 Lockdown we decided to do an online hearing check. Why you ask? Well did you know that this March, if you check your hearing for FREE you can help raise awareness for hearing loss in New Zealand. The people at Triton Hearing will donate $1 to National Foundation for Deaf and Hard of Hearing every time someone completes the online hearing check.

We really enjoyed doing something so easy and donating to charity! You can read what some of us thought about the experience below by following the links.
