Today we are learning to post on our blogs for the Summer Learning Journey. The them for the SLJ is Creatures and Critters. I decided to create a kiwi with the power to control electricity with it’s right eye. It was fun to make. I enjoyed using my imagination. Watching the videos of real animals and their ‘super powers’ helped me think of ideas.
Have you created your own creature? Let me know what you think in the comments.

Hello bloggers!
On Wednesday last week our class got to make slime. It didn’t work for some of us because people put too much shaving foam in. We weren’t sure how much shaving cream we needed. Some people didn’t follow the instructions. It was sticky and our hands changed colour. It stuck to the table. Some people used too much activator (Borax and warm water) and someone broke 3 wooden forks trying to stir the mixture. Some people created proper slime. We had lots of fun playing with it and got to take it home. The main things we learned was not to add too much shaving foam and too add the activator gradually.
Please let us know if you’ve tried make slime and how it turned out.

Kia ora bloggers,
Today we did an experiment with baking soda and vinegar. It was fun. We got to put our hands in the foam. It tingled.
I think we should have done it on the concrete because the grass died.
Have you done this before?
Let me know in the comments.
Bye …
Hello Bloggers! It’s Mr Albert. Ali is new to our class and doesn’t have a blog yet so he’s posting here. Enjoy reading Ali’s post.
Talofa, Malo e lelei! I am Ali. I have been learning about Matariki . We learned about the water stars Waitī Waitā and Waipungārangi. I created this slide show because Matariki is on Friday. I enjoyed making this slide show. My favourite part was doing the background and putting the photos in.

Today we have been learning about our digital footprint. We looked at our history and we entered the sites we have visited into Word Art. Then we created a picture. My picture shows that I visited Maths No Problem Hub the most. We learned that when we go online our digital footprint is permanent.
Please comment and let me know what you visit the most. Is it Roblox?
Thanks.
Hello bloggers!
Binney class have been using Google Drawings to create bird and fish pictures. They used lots of different shapes to create their image. In this picture you can see the clever use of shapes to create the tail, wings, head and body. You can use the links on our blog to access each student’s blog. Please visit their blog and leave a comment.
Kia ora,

This week during Cybersmart. we looked at how we could generate media using AI. We used Adobe Firefly to create images. We had to use a prompt that described in detail what we wanted the picture to look like.
Here is my prompt:
I see a haunted house. A full moon is behind it, making it look dark and gloomy. It is a 2 story wooden house with rooms in the attic. There are lots of cobwebs and there is some damage to the windows and some of the weatherboards. There are 9 windows and 3 tower turrets. There is a veranda at the front and the number 13 on the door. Ivy is growing in some places around the house.
And here is the picture that was generated. The picture was much better than I expected. Let me know what you think or share your own picture in the comments.
Ka kite.

This week we celebrated Cook Island Māori Language Week by reading stories, watching videos and doing quizzes. It was fun to learn and say Cook Island Māori Language words. Some students chose to do an activity on their devices. Anoosha share her Pick-a-path with the class. She included slides to help you learn the answers. (Even if you get the answer wrong, you’re still learning). Have a fun.
Aere ra bloggers!
