Online Art

 For Maniakalani today we are talking about this thing called Summer Learning Journey. It is a fun learning thing to do over your summer break. It is a 6 week task and is really enjoyable. I did this last year and it is very fun and is not that hard. All you need to be able to do this is 1. A Device, 2. A Blog, 3. You must have done cyber smart before. For one of the pre tasks we got to go on this really fun app called Art Colouring Book. It is were you see a whole lot of images you can then click on one and make your own piece of art. Here is an example I made.

My One

Media Poster

 For Manaikalani we are learning about different types of Media and what is in each type. In Print Media we did things like News Paper, Magazines. For Broadcasting Media we did things like the Radio and The News. For Online Media we did things like Twitter and Tik Tok. In my group there was My best friend's Mayci and Selena. Let me know if you have any more ideas of any form of Media. 

Questions:

Do you have any form of Media? 

Do you understand Media?

Smart Relationships

 In cyber smart we have been learning about how to make quality blog posts and comments. We are learning this to be safe online and be a kind and caring person online.

My learning went pretty well and it was understandable. At some times it did get tricky but it became easier again.

I am Cyber smart but my question is are you Cyber smart?

Surf to Turf

The Actual Day

On Wednesday the 28th of October we did a challenge called Surf to Turf. It is an activity were you run 5.1k then partake in 4 activities, 1 minute Plank, Commando crawl, 50 Sit up and a tire roll. Once you completed the tasks you had to fun to the finish line where the teacher gave you a coca cola juicie. When we had all completed the race and finished our juicies A fire truck was waiting for us at the end of the driveway. The firemen attached ropes then we lined up. We had to pull the fire truck up a driveway. Then the firemen got the hose and started spraying us down. Once we had, had enough of the water we went collected our bags and got some hot dogs from the BCN. We had a lot of fun.

Training's leading up to surf to turf.

But would we have been able to do all this stuff without training. Of course not. We had 3, 7-8 am training's then got a amazing breakfast at the BCN (Belfast Community Network). We had 6, 3-4 pm training's where for 2 weeks one of the teachers made us an afternoon tea. We also 3, 2-3 pm training's. We had training's 2 times a week, one on Tuesday which was the 7-8 and 2-3. Then we had training on Thursday which was 3-4. 

With us doing so much training and having to work so hard on the day we ALL obviously had sore muscles.

Hot dogs Yum.

Before We Started.

Poems

 

I made this slide on poems. They all have something in common. They are all about animals.

Crash

 

I have made an acoustic poem based on the book Crash. I then added a picture of a car crash and the cover of the book.

Dear Mr Taylor,

I have just finished reading your book Crash as part of our group literacy circle. I really enjoyed it and I give it a 5 out of 5 star rating.

I like the way that each chapter flickers by one chapter being about the crash and one being about what life is like at home.

This made me wonder what part of NZ this book is made from. It also made me wonder how long it took you to complete the whole book.

Maybe next time you could describe what the car and the characters looked like. 

What was your message you want people to think or know about reading this book?

Yours sincerely 

Maia Collins
