Quality Blog comments replies

Today, we explored  what were quality blog comments. We looked  to see if they had a greeting, and something positive about what the author has shared.  We also checked to see if  they had a thoughtful and helpful comments too. Having a buddy also helps when we discuss what we are learning. One skill we used was moving the labels and flipping them too.

our whanau

IN RE this term we are talking about our whanau and that koru patterns and symbols can represent our whanau. My family is unique and special not just to me but to lots of people in New Zealand and back in the Philippines.
We made our family members in koru so I added
my mom and my dad /sister/me/my mom’s mother/
my mom’s father. We used wax crayons and then we
dyed the background.33

Weaving my Matariki kite

 

There are nine stars in the Matariki cluster.

Matariki celebrations happen every June around winter. There is a Matariki mother too for the stars. Maori harvest food too and Matariki is the time to remember people who have died. They start at sunrise and you have to look at the Eastern sky. 

My class made Matariki kites. We painted a side with one colour and I picked blue.

On the other one we made a Maori design on it, which was hard. Then we painted them and I love painting because it was so much fun.

Today we started weaving and I’ve never done it before and it was tough but I managed to keep going and I’m proud of how it turned out. 

Finally we braided three colours of twine to make a tail. Then Mrs. Yumul glue gunned a feather and some fern branches onto the bottom. I like my kite
