Staying safe online: Be Cybersmart!

                         Walt: Stay safe online!

Be cyber smart!

Hello viewers today i'm going to be talking about staying safe online. Staying safe online is a big job for people who have different devices around there house! This also goes for the kids who are part of the manaiakalani program. PARENTS ATTENTION PLEASE!!! If you are nervous and don't want your kids going on bad stuff please take my advice! When you are on google there might be a wheel or a word that says settings click that. Then it says turn on safe on search that will help goggle avoid or put aside all the things that you would not like your children to be going on. If your kids have an email remember to give your child lessons on what to do. Example: If your kids see's an dirty email or is something you do not like just simply tell them to drag the email into trash or spam! If you want to test how safe are you online please click this link and will help you do the right things on your device: Link. It will help you and your kids stay safe online whenever you are on a device!

I had to read what makes a ship float and how it connects to other things. Then I had to make a presentation to see what things in my household (THAT MY MUM SAYS IS OKAY TO WET) to test if it would sink or float. I tested several things from Balloons to toilet paper!

What is an Estuary?

Tamaki Estuary

What is an Estuary?

As part of the theme for this term Te Taiao o Tamaki we've gathered alot of information like talking about Native trees. Then adding on Native birds and Native bug then the lucky last Ecosystems! So far I've learnt tuns of things like parts of the bugs. But now the last is the estuary's. An estuary is like a tidal mouth of a large river, where the tide meets the stream. For example lets say there polluted water and fresh clean water are on like different sides but there like a middle bit. In that bit all the water meet there and it gets mixed up. So its like well kind of a reunion! 

Maori tribe Inquiry Research Presentation- Year 5 & 6 Extension Term 1 2017

Maori tribe Presentation

Extension DLO Maori Tribe!

This is a DLO (Digital Learning object) that I had created with others in my extention class. The group that I was in was the Maori tribe group. The Maori tribe group represents all the cultural people and how they handle there pollution in there areas. Some people say that the cultural people does not have to deal with pollution, but do they? Anyways here is the movies we made. Thanks and enjoy.   

Paidea Seminar discussion!

Maori Tribe photo

Yesterday the whole of the Yr 5&6 extension group had a big discussion about pollution. But before I head straight to that I will be talking about the Yr 5&6 extension group and how it all begin. I am one of the people who were chosen to be in the Yr 5&6 extension group. At the moment me have been learning pollution and how it affects people. During the term how we were learning about pollution we got to choose our own group which talks about the perspective on why we should care about these people or animals. The group names were the Caretakers, Birds/eels, Children, Maori tribe and the Conservationist. I chose the Maori tribe along with 3 others. Why did I chose the Maori tribe? I chose the Maori tribe because I like looking at the way of pollution by a cultural perspective. After all that we begin studying about our groups. I had to study the way the cultural people work with there rubbish but the point of view I'm looking at mostly are how are the Maori people super connected to the land. After finishing the research we begin our big discussion. So yesterday the extension group had a big argument about pollution of there point of view. The rules were every time you talk about something by your perspective you have get to eat one candy. So the argument started of by the Bird/Eels perspective and went one and on. But one thing was that the teachers had to kind of back off because there not the ones talking we are. So the discussion went on and on until all lollies were gone! I got to talk about how pollution is affected by the cultural perspective. I really enjoyed the big discussion.       

Spider Poster!

Walt: Talk about the spider.

Task Description: Today since my literacy class is still learning about insects I've decided to put together my own post about spiders. In my poster I have listed down ten spider facts that you should know. But before doing this I did some research about spiders and out of all websites and documents I found these are the ten spider facts that I listed. I also added on the bottom right side of the poster a photo of a spider to make my poster stand out! Hope you enjoy my poster and found out a lot of information from these facts!

Insect vs spider!

 Walt: write narrative using descriptive language.

Story:

Once in a creepy Monday morning in a garden there lived an insect. It was called the Lady bug stinger. It is a very polite bug…. well sometimes. It is just like the bee and has a stinger! It likes to chill on bright colored flowers in the garden.

Moving on the the Lady bug stinger was just chilling on the bright coloured flowers until the spider caught its prey. The spider is called the Fraud striped spider. It is very viscous and always goes on shifts to find its prey. Well this is its day. The Lady bug stinger jumps from flower to flower without knowing the spider is following.

Suddenly it stops and turns around to look at the Fraud striped spider. The Fraud spider stands right in front of the Lady bug stinger. The Lady bug stinger tries to make itself look like a bodybuilder. It starts to make itself look like it is doing kungfu! The spider heart starts beating. The the insect makes a big sting on the spider's abdomen. With in a second the spider runs away with his fear of the Lady bug stinger. Never to be seen again.

Task Description: Here is a story that I made about my made up insect and spider. I had to create a story about the too of these viscous spiders. At the top I also made up my own poster about the story, and on it says Who will win? Which gives the reader of the story a hint of whats going to happen. I also had to choose a setting where my story is set so I chose the garden because that's where most bugs live in right? Anyways I finish this of by adding a interesting ending to my story. Hope you enjoy!

Amelia Food web

Walt: make connections across multiple texts.

This is my made up food web. If you don't know what a food web is well let me explain. A food web is kind of like a puzzle. So for an example do you see the bird in the top right corner if you can see I've pointed the arrow to the worm which means the bird eats the worm, and as you can see the worm likes eating dirt so the arrow points to the dirt. As you can see I've made connections to each of these images. Now that's what you call a food web. I also added my own spider and insect to my food web but the rest is just a bird, worm and a bee and what they eat. 

Task Description: Since our topic for this amazing term is Te Taio o Tamaki ( The environment of Tamaki ) which means looking after our land. My Literacy class is main focus is about the trees, plants, birds and insects. These are the main things we are focusing on. At the moment our focus is on insects. Today I made up my own food web. To make this food web we conducted research about the insect and what a food web is. After that we found out all about food webs we decided to make our own! This is my food web. I've also added my own spider and insect I made. Read the top for more information.
