Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

Last week in our Cybersmart time with Kōka Amie, she was teaching us about using a tool to select colours on a theme or brand.  We looked at the theme colours of the Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori resources on their website and designed badges using these colours.  

Our badges used some familiar phrases, such as Ka pānui ahau or Ka waiata ahau, but when we made our badges, many of us used Ka tākaro ahau, which for some of us was a new phrase.  It means, 'I will play'.

In the centre of our badges, we created our own images that reflected something that we like playing.  Can you see all the different types of kupu we've shared with you?

What do you like best about our badges?

Quality Blog Posts

 We have been learning all about creating quality blog posts.  We know we need to add lots of information so that the readers of our blog  can use all this information to comment on our blog posts.  We also know that posting three or more blog posts every week can help us to keep improving our writing.  When we write a blog post, we need to include a reflection on our learning that shows what we were learning in our Cybersmart time, which tool we used, what we found easy, what we found challenging and what we could improve next time.  

We know that quality blog posts have:

•  full sentences
• capital letters
• full stops
• information about our learning

In this class blog, you will find a gadget that links to each of our blogs.  Check out our posts this week to see what we have all created.

Nau mai, haere mai

Welcome to our class blog.

We look forward to sharing our learning with our school,

our whānau and friends everywhere.
