Ana - Finding Nemo after reading activity

Today in class me and my class were doing reading and our after reading activity included a clip from the movie Finding Nemo. It was easy to do the activity. It was hard comparing the video. I really liked this activity because it talked about perserverance which is a word I've heard before but never really understood. I know understand it and it's importance if I want to achieve anything. Check my Activity down below.

Xavier: Medicinal plants

WALT: Explain what Rongoā Māori is. Today for Reading I was matching the sickness names with the healing names but the healing is made out of Native plants from New Zealand. My goal for next time is to match more healing names with sickness! Have you seen a Harakeke face to face before? Here is my activity and video below! 

  

 

Here are same of the ways you use the plants.

Koromiko-Chew the leaves. 

Kōwhai-Drink the leaves juice. 

Harakeke (Flax)-Use it like how you use aid healing. 

Pohutukawa-Take out the nectar in the flowers. 

Pūriri-gargled the leaves. 

KawaKawa-Chew the leave. 

Here is a video about my favourite tree. 

Arvay's Chapter summary of Super Weirdos - By Mr Mac

Today in class Miss Nees- Kairua starter reading us a fantastic book that was illustrated and written by one of her friends from school who is now a teacher, the one and only Mr Mac! Him and Miss Nees-Kairua challenged everyone who has the book that who ever blogs or sends the best work to him might be able to get a prize. If we win he has to buy us Ice cream and chocolate and if they win its the other way around!
Have you entered the challenge?
Did you know that Mr Mac has written all types of book thats not just for his class!
I learnt that we should imagine more, and the more you imagine the more your mindset expands!
Here is my work!

Amihuti - Harry's War Activity to go to war or become a conscientious objector?

Today we had to write how to encourage people
to go to war or for people to be a conscientious objector.

WALT-How to encourage people to go to war or become an
conscientious objector. List two positives for each one then retell it on your blog.

I think I would become a soldier. I would become a soldier because
I would fight with pride and I would like to realise what war for people
in the olden days felt like. I would like explore the places and be proud of
my decision of becoming a soldier. I would also like to be a soldier because I will
like to train as a soldier, I would like to do the hard work they do in the rain for me to gain skill.
One more thing is someone that if anyone asks me about war I would have an answer.

Sign Language Week

Each May, Deaf Aotearoa runs New Zealand Sign Language Week, celebrating one of New Zealand’s official languages. NZSL Week raises awareness of New Zealand’s Deaf community and provides a platform for Deaf people to proudly promote their language and culture.

In our classroom, as part of our reading activities, we practice our spelling words in sign. It is difficult at times but lots of fun. Can you guess what words we are spelling out without listening to the sound first?
