setting sail

Dear Primrose,

I am about to leave for Aotearoa. I feel excited and nervous because I am about to sail for at least 100 days to get to another country, far away from home. I have never been on such a long journey.

My longest trip before this was out past the reef to go fishing.

I am going with my whanau and several others from our village.

Hope to write to you again after we get there safely.

Should We Have Galas

Should We Have Galas

By Imogen L.P

I definitely think we should have galas at school. Because they are a great way to fundraise money for school trip and new things for school. People have a fun time doing fun games.

Firstly, I think we should have galas so we can fundraise to get new things for school like more things in the playground. We can also fundraise so we can have more school trips in the school year.

Secondly, We should have galas so we can do fun things and activears like

and get things from shops like lucky dips, jelly and much much more.

Thirdly when your gala you learn other thing. You can have things you have never tasted before like food.

So what do you think we should have gales because we get the opportunity to make and buy delicious food and make  money at the some time.

Blogging Criteria

PostW

Components	Beginner	Getting Going	Smart Learner
Learning	What have I been learning? I’ve written what I have been learning about e.g. shared my WALT I have put in an image, drawing or a screenshot of my learning	How do I know I have learnt? My post includes information and ideas that show what I learned. I created a DLO that shares my ideas about the learning: eg, a video, diagram, infographic etc	Reflected on my learning: My post has my new ideas and what I enjoyed or found really difficult I’ve shared what I think my next steps are, what I’d like to know more about, and what I might do differently next time
Impact	I have explained the learning I did Most of my ideas can be seen I included a photo, image or screenshot	My title is unique or catchy My DLO is my own creation, makes sense and adds more information My post may include embedded html content e.g. collage, video, Google Slide, animation etc	My post shows WHO I AM as a learner and is unique to me. My information and ideas help my audience to understand the learning, [and there’s a link to this activity to my class learning site] For my DLO, I (or my group) made all of the learning being shown from scratch
Punctuation	Some of my spelling and punctuation is not right My post might be hard for the reader to understand	I have checked my punctuation and spelling I have asked a buddy to read my post, made corrections and I cannot see any mistakes	I’m confident all my spelling and punctuation is correct and it makes sense for my readers, they will be able to read it easily
Layout	My font sizes and colour may be different and need making the same My images or embedded content might not fit properly I may not have used labels or a title on my learning blog post.	I previewed layout to see how my post would look and changed it where I needed to Font size and colour match I’ve used a title & labels   If I’ve used other people’s work or thinking I have shown the source or attributed it to them	Media/html content is checked e.g. size, position, and appears when post loads My labels and title are specific to the learning & help people searching my blog I am beginning to use scheduling for publishing so my posts don’t all come at once

  All the Students in Te Moana have recently begun their own blogs. They are all at the beginner blog stage now but we are all setting our goals to become Smart Bloggers by the end of the year. Please check our blogs all the time to check how we are learning to improve.

Our Hoe

At the beginning of the year we wrote our hoe for Te Moana class as well as how we collaborate and care for others throughout the school as well as throughout life. We have just revisited it, and discussed the questions with greater meaning.

Nau mai haere mai ki tēnei taonga. Welcome to your very own blog for learning. We look forward to seeing you share your learning with your teachers, your school, your family and friends anywhere.
