Learning to write a e-mail

 Kia Ora bloggers!

Today we learned how to write a professional email.

Our first task was to write an email to our homebase teacher about weather or not we would like to have pets on public transport. I said yes because when I go on a bus in the future I would like to bring my dog with me.

This is my e-mail I sent to Miss Roberts. I have labeled all of the different parts on a professional email.   

Have you written a professional email before? If you have who did you email?

Ka kite see you next time!

Camp Goal

 Welcome back to my blog!

A couple of weeks ago we went to living springs camp as I may have mentioned in another post and before we went we all had to set a goal for camp. We had to write it on a slide.

This is my slide

Have you made a goal before?

Ka kite see you next time!

Tsunami play with Holly, Amelia, Lucy and I

 Hello Bloggers!

For literacy this week we have had half an hour to do some freewriting each morning and Holly, Lucy, Amelia and I are working on a play together. It is just a draft so it is not finished yet.

This is our draft. Child 1 is Amelia, Child 2 is Lucy, Tsunami 1 is Amelia, Tsunami 2 is Amelia, Tsunami 3 is Amelia, and I am the narrator.

I think this is a pretty good draft for us as I have never written a play before.

Do you have any feedback for me? I will take them and use your feedback to make it better.

Ka Kite see you next time! 

Who is your favourite Korimako teacher? 🎓

Hello bloggers, 

A couple of days ago in maths we were told to think of a question like  favourite colour, favourite food, sport or something like that. My question was who is your favourite Korimako teacher. (As you have probably already figured out.) Then make a google form about it and then send it out to all the people in Korimako. And finally once we had got all the answers we had to put them into a graph.

This is my form if you want to fill it out you can

Did you fill it out?

If you did who did you pick?

Do you have any feedback to me for my form?

My Pepeha

Kia Ora bloggers 

Today for Te Reo we made a digital copy of our pepeha that we started yesterday.

We were given a lot of links and sources that we could use to make a digital copy of our pepeha.

They were Pepeha.nz, Google slides, Scratch, Gamefroot, Google Tour Builder, Screencastify, Book Creator, Puzzle Maker and there was Flipgrid aswell but we couldn't use it because the teachers hadn't set it up yet. I used Pepeha.nz.

This is my Pepeha. This is a link to Maori Dictionary so you will understand what it means.

Do you know what a pepeha is?

If you do great! If you don't catch up on your Maori culture. No just kidding, a pepeha is when you introduce yourself to someone in Maori.

First you start off with your Mountain/Maunga. My mountain was Mt Hutt because my family go skiing there every winter.

Next you do a river/awa near you or that you relate to.My river was the Rapaki river because it flows off Mt Hutt.

An then you do your tribe/iwi. (What country you belong to because back then you belonged to the land not the land belonged to you.) My tribe is Aeoteroea (New Zealand) because I have lived here my whole life.

Next you introduce your family. Alun (Dad), Carolyn (Mum) and Zoe (sister) are my family. Well and my dog Mika but I didn't add her in because she is not a person.

My dog Mika

Then you introduce yourself because the people from other tribes might be able to link you to people they know by you telling them your last name but I didn't add that in here because of CYBERSAFTEY. 

My name is Izzy so I put in Izzy because Ko Izzy toku ingua (My name is Izzy)  

Well now you know that may be able to make your own pepeha!

While you go and make your pepeha I will be writing my next post for you to read!

Noho iho rā see you next time!

  

Google Docs Scavenger Hunt 🙂

 Welcome back Bloggers!

Today is the second day of school since the 6 week holidays and we have been given the task of a Google Docs scavenger hunt. You must be wondering what that is so I will tell you.

A Google Docs scavenger hunt is when you complete a series of questions that remind your mind where and what the Google Doc tools are. 

This is my completed scavenger hunt.

Do you know all the answsers to the questions? Are you sure?

Well if you're sure...

It took me a while because my mind is used to the holidays. The good thing is that I got 9/10!

The one I got wrong was #5 .I did 5 collums and 3 rows instead of 3 collums and 5 rows.

Everything else I got right! 🤗

Why don't you go through it and see if you can do it and get all the answers right? 

While you do that I'll be writing my next post for you to read.

See you next time!

Book Week dress up day.

 Kia Ora bloggers welcome back to my blog!

This week it has been Book Week when we focus on books.

Yesterday we had to dress up as our favrouite book character. I dressed up as Redd from Seeing Redd. It is the real story of Alice in Wonderland. There is a series of book in the Seeing Redd trilogy. The 1st book is called The Looking Glass Wars, The 2nd book is Seeing Redd and the 3rd book is Arch enemy.

I was that lady on the cover.  In the middle of litracy we had a parade to show off our costumes. There were lots of different costumes. We has a giant Kangaroo as our Deputy Principal in the morning, 2 Artimus Fouls, my best friend Amelia was Arwen from Lord of the Rings. We also had a competition on who had the best cosutme. 

I looked like this:

The placings in my hub was

1st place:  Levi and Shannon who were Willy Wonka and an Oompa-Loompa. 

2nd place: Amelia as I already said was Arwen.

3rd place:  Honey was Katniss Everdeen

If you had to dress as a character from a book who would you dress as?
