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.
Byeeeee
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.

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!

Today we had the MOTAT Steam toolbox at our school. The people from MOTAT came to teach us how to code robots. We worked in pairs with a Dash and Dot robot and an ipad. We had the opportunity to try out challenges. The challenges included following a map, a synchronized dance, an obstacle course, a soccer game and a drag race. It was lots of fun. Have a lot at our blogs to find out more about our coding lesson.
Ka kite.
Hello Bloggers!!!
I have been learning how to use media including YouTube, Google Drawings and Google Slides. It’s been a lot of fun. I made this animation using google slides. I particularly enjoyed creating my own character. Being creative keeps learners motivated and engaged. The digital tools we have available are excellent for a wide range of creative tasks.
Let us know about your use of digital tools to be creative.
Ngā mihi,
Mr Albert
