Favourite Shortcut

Kia ora bloggers!!!

I recently asked the class to share their favourite shortcut so I thought it only fair that I share mine. My favourite shortcut helps me to make ‘macrons’. A macron is the line you see above vowels to indicate that the vowel has a long vowel sound. This is very useful because I’m making a big effort to use more Māori words.

All you do is hold the letter down and a menu appears.

Then you select the mark you want. These marks are called diacritical marks. This link will explain more about them. They are used in lots of different languages.

I used to find the words with the macrons on the internet and copy and paste them into my document. Often I’d have to change the size and font as well so this is a big timesaver! Thank you Basma for showing this to me.

I hope this is useful to you someday. Please share your favourite shortcut.

About Us

Kia ora bloggers, It’s week 8 and this is our first class post of 2024. We are room 6 and we are from Hay Park School. We are a class of year 4, 5 and 6 students. Our school is in Mt Roskill, Auckland. There are 29 students in our class and about 160 students in our school.

Our local maunga (mountain) is Puketāpapa / Mt Roskill. Puketāpapa was a fortified pa under Māori occupation from at least the 13th or 14th century but was no longer intensively occupied when European settlers moved into the area in the mid-1800s. In 1841 Ngāti Whātua (local iwi) exchanged 13,000 acres, which included Puketāpapa, with the Crown.

Please comment and tell us about your school.

Thanks
