Today in manauakalani I got better at using scrreencastify. I used screencastify to put my voice into my work so then u guys can look at my writing on the doc will I use my voice to read it to u guys which I think helps some people because some people just want to put the book down and listen to someone else read it to them. This is the writing piece that I did in writing it is an independent piece of writing about why kids should get screen time. I did this piece of writing trying to get it to a high level 4. Hope u liked it.

Meng And Our Haka

On the 14.5.19 Meng Forn came into our class to share what it is like being the mayor what impact it has had on his life and what impact, he has made on our town (Gisborne). 

We asked him how can our class have an impact and celebration of the te ha celebration because it is The 250th-anniversary commemorations will acknowledge the first formal meetings between Māori and Europeans on and off the coast of Tairawhiti in October. 

We also did the haka for him. So here are so videos of the Haka.

Hope you like it and comment on what would you do to be apart of the te ha Celebration.

Stepsweb and why I use it.

Do day I am showing what I use my computer at school for and how it helps my writing & how I am improving.

So I use this site called steps web (you should get it if you are not to keen on spelling).

I use it so I can get my spelling to the end of level 4 by the end of the year that is a massive goal because I am only up to level 2 so I got 2 more levels to do but I am working through that.

Steps web also helps with my writing it shows a difference since I started to use spets because my spelling is going up slowly but it is still going up.

I recommend you try using steps web to see if it helps u and your learning because it has totally helped me.

Comment and like but also tell me if steps web has made a difference in your life.

When The Endeavor Arrived

Today in Manaiakalani, we had to write our moment in time. Then we put it onto a Google slide, or on a google drawing. Then designed it and published it to the web so we could put onto our blog.
I did mine on a google drawing, and add a photo of the sea at both sides and the starts at the top and the sand at the bottom. The little sailing ship at the bottom in the cover-up of the Endeavor.
I was aiming to a high standard in my pieces of writing, the level I was aiming for high level 4 or 5.
In my piece of writing it is explaining the olden days when captain cook arrived and when the Endeavor arrived.

My Focus today was publishing my writing and Making it make sense.

Hope you liked it.
Please leave a comment and come back to see more of my learning.

Chinese in new zealand-1800's

Today for inquiry, we are learning about the Chinese and New Zealand in the 1800s. Our class wrote poems about Chinese and New Zealand. I have learned that poll tax was put in so Chinese couldn't send so much money over to China. Back in the 1900's Chinese would dig up gold and make millions of money then poll tax arrived and they could send as much.

So here is my poem:

Tax, tax,tax

Money down the 

Drain.

Gold getting dug.

BUT!

That Won't Stop

Us.

You better watch

YOUR
BACK!!

Here is a photo of the Poem.

Famouse Nz'er

Today in Manauakalani (cybersmart) we learned how to use screen castify. We did it about a famous person that we like mine is Conrad Smith. I lent more about Conrad Smith that I didn't know. I liked how I can share what I like doing out of the classroom with people around the world that might look at my blog.
So can you please give me a comment down the bottom.


Here is my video.

Here is my drawing from the video.
