Check Out This Great Wacky Wednesday Post

 Kia ora bloggers every week we have something fun to do and this week we did Wacky Wednesday. On Tuesday afternoon I went straight home  to find something to wear, I found a colourful wig, a green top and skirt and some black glasses. The top and skirt was too big for me but my nan sewed it up so it would fit me well. Then on Wednesday I went to school all dressed up and saw most of the school dressed up as well, they all looked so cool it made me so happy.  I saw my friends dressed up so I went and hung out with them and went around to have a look at all the classrooms.I think Nga Motu looked the best they had chairs flipped over, gum boots on the poles of the tables and even lots of things on the wall that don't belong there. My teachers dressed up as our house groups (Pohutukawa, Karaka, Kowhai and Rimu    ) they all looked so pretty. My favourite part was seeing everyone dressed up. I think the people dressed up the best was Jade-R, Angela and Jaelyn-Marie, they were fairies.

How To Attribute Images Properly

 Kia ora the last few weeks we have been doing Attributing Images. We had to learn how to make sure we are allowed to use all the images we use. During this experience I have learnt how to see if we are allowed to use the photos we want to use. I can see myself using this in the future by making sure I click on tools and then usage rights and make sure I choose creative commons licences so we are allowed to use the photos for example flowers. If you don’t use this technique you have to pay thousands of dollars if they sue you or pay  to use other peoples photos. What I think I need to work on is remember this every single time I go to use any pictures that I want to use. 

Do you know how to Attribute Images?

The Obstacle PAL Day

 Kia ora on the last day of school we did a PAL fun day which is where we have lots of small short games that all the other classes go around in a rotation in our house groups which are Pohutukawa, Rimu, Karaka and Kowhai. My two friends and I got to coach the obstacle course which we made up. We had skipping, hurdles, catching the balls, going through the tunnels and criss crossing to the end. The thing I enjoyed the most was watching everyone complete everything properly. The highlight of my day was being with my friends while teaching everyone what to. The challenges I had experienced was everyone doing some opposite things to what we had taught but we just let them do what they think they had to do. If we did this again I would probably pick a different game to teach. 

Have you ever done PAL (power activity leader) at your school?

Manaiakalani Cybersmart Challenge: Scams and Phishing.

Kia ora this week we did a Manaiakalani Cybersmart challenge: Scams and Phishing. We had a presentation with little emails and pop ups and we had to say if it is fake or legit and why we think that. There was one that said download free music and I could instantly tell that it was fake because in the top  left corner there was a padlock with a line through it which means it is not secure. It also had a log in with your Google account and you had to put your email address and your password. Sometimes  if you are lucky you just tap the account you would like to sign in with and it takes you straight in. I would also not do any of that because they can easily see your password to get in to your email address which is really dangerous. For my first time learning about this I found that if there sometimes can be a line through the padlock and I have never seen that before. I also learnt that there can be pop ups and I wouldn’t know what to do if I didn’t do this.

Title: Fun Online Class

 Kia ora this week we got to pick what we wanted to blog about so I picked to write about how I like online learning.  Every morning apart from the weekends we go on a google meet to talk with the teachers and ask questions about our school learning I don’t really have any questions to ask because they make it quite clear to understand. We also have a google meet in the afternoon to talk about what we have done for the day but I always forget to go on it because I get up to other things like looking after my baby cousin. Our school work can be easy and challenging like the maths escape room was really challenging and also our work can be fun like the Daffodil Day creations and for that we had to make flowers and put them on our window sill because it was raining and we couldn’t put them on our mail box otherwise they would brake. 

Do you enjoy online learning? Do you like lockdown? 

Title: Skateboard Passion Project

 This week for distance learning we had to write down what we wanted to learn during lockdown and I chose to learn how to do tricks on my skateboard because I am quite good but can’t do any cool tricks like other skaters can. I also love to skate when I can because it might rain or I might of hurt myself. I was  learning how to jump on my board which is called a popcorn I thought it was really easy and got it after a few tries and now I am fixing up on my ollies. My two passions are skateboarding and dancing and I am really good at both. When I am doing my skateboard tricks I do them inside on the carpet so I can get used to them and get more confident to do it on concrete. 

Do you enjoy skateboarding? What is your favorite trick? 

Being In Amazing Queenstown In Lockdown.

 Kia ora last week we went to Queenstown for a holiday. We had to drive to Auckland then fly to Queenstown (I was scared). Once we got to Queenstown we checked into our apartment and got ready to go out  for dinner because we were hungry (we ended  up just getting dominos for dinner). The next day we met up with our friends and got to go to game over, ice skating and ice bumper boats. When we did ice skating I badly injured my knee and couldn’t walk on it (It still is quite sore). At about 6pm on Tuesday we got the announcement we will be going into lockdown until Friday the end of this week. We weren't really panicked because we didn’t want to go home just yet. That same night we went to Kmart to get some games so we wouldn’t get bored and I got a dairy to write what I get up to every single day in lockdown and I did.  But then on Thursday Jacinda said we had 48 hours to get to where we live so that same day we got the announcement we booked our flight again for 5.20pm. So then we started to pack up everything so we are all ready to leave (sadly) and we ended back up in Paihia at 11.45pm at night just in time.
