The New Zealand Merganser

Kia ora,


Today I finished working on a google slide show. The learning behind the task was researching and finding out what the birds are and how it became extinct. I had to research about a bird could the New Zealand Merganser. I had to work with a buddy, his name was Andrew. We had to work on separate slides but we got some ideas off each others slide. What I found easy was finding links to some info about the New Zealand Merganser. What I found hard was find the answers to my questions. What I learned was re - reading my slide show, and getting some new facts about the New Zealand Merganser.You can see my work below.

ANZAC Board Game

Hello peeps,

I have made a Google Drawings based on a ANZAC board game that I have made. My board game has 4 challenging stages. My board game has rules and stages. This board game requires 2 or more people, a counter or playing piece for each person and a dice to play this game.

Each player places their counters or playing pieces at the start mark on the board.  Each player takes turns of rolling the dice.  Which ever number the dice lands on is how many spaces the player can move on the board. Here are the rules.

Rules:

When you get to the rocks at the start you must shake your hand at all times even if you move a square.

If you land on any of the parts below these are the rules.

Rip: If you land on the rip you know where you need to go, so if you write with your right hand go right. If you write with your left hand go left. If you end up back at the start and land on the rip again then there is another rule... if you like to learn go right, if you like to play fortnite go left again. If you land on the rip the third time then you miss a turn.

Gallipoli: You will need to battle off your team mate and try to knock the other persons soldier down and if you do then the team mate or you need to go back a stage.

Airport: You must cross the airport by explaining to your team mate of what you think about this game.

Town is when you just play the game so no talking and no tricks.

The first play to reach the finish wins. Here is my game board.

NZ Hero: Willie Apiata

Hello peeps,

For the past 1 week I have been working on a reading task. It had to be about hero's. I was given people to choose from. Those people were Willie Apiata, Valerie Adams, Richie McCaw, Fire fighters and the rescue helicopter crew. I chose Willie Apiata for my hero. I was given a lot of questions to answer. What I found hard was to find a good website to find my answer for he questions. What I found easy was writing down the answers. What I enjoyed was write new facts about Willie Apiata. Here is my slide show.

Whitebait movie

Hello Peeps,

In the last whitebait blog post I did a fish bone diagram for Whitebait Fritters; a story that Mrs A has been reading to us in class. Today, I did a movie based on the same story - Whitebait Fritters.  It was really fun. I worked with a buddy, her name is Ariana Craig. We have been working hard on this movie so you can enjoy it.  We did a green screen to do show the whitebait in our movie. What I found hard was talking to the camera when there was a word I didn't know. What I found easy was the writing for the movie and to say which letter we were on (based on the science principles of MRS GREN which are movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition).  I learn't so many things about Whitebait just from this task. This week we learnt so much about Whitebait and MRS GREN. Here is our whitebait movie.

Fake whitebait fritters

Hello everyone,

Making fake whitebait fritters.

This term for our novel study, Mrs A read us Whitebait Fritters which is a novel written by a Kiwi author Kingi McKinnon.  My favourite part in Whitebait Fritters was when the characters, Wiremu and his dad Hone went to go to their family hide out which is only to be used when their family is going fishing for whitebait.

To wind up our learning we decided to make some fake whitebait fritters
because we can’t afford to buy real whitebait. We used grated potato to take
the place of whitebait and mixed it with eggs and onions. They were really tasty.
Then we had to write out the recipe, put it on a Google Drawing and add some
images. You can see my work below.
