Childrens Book!

 Kia Ora bloggers, 

 for the past couple weeks, our literacy group has been working on making a children's book, our books had to either rhyme or have repetition I chose repetition, after choosing this I started to write my book, then we had to a choice to place images from the internet and make them into a picture for our book or draw them our selves. I chose to get images from the internet. My book is called Stella's New Sister. Have you ever made a book before? Unfortunately, I can't embed my book so here is a link to see my book,

Since the start of the year, we have been learning Samoan.  This is my virtual classroom where I have put all my learning for you to also learn from.  If you hover over items in my classroom, a hyperlink will pop up for you to click on.

In my classroom you will learn about:

  • Link to a traditional dance video

  • Basic greetings

  • The alphabet

  • How to count 1-10 

  • Information about Siapo - how it is created, some examples

Exciting engineering!

Kia Ora bloggers, 

This term for inquiry we are doing the "wonder" project and looking at engineering and how to make our own rockets, for this inquiry we have engineers that come in ever tuesday to help us out with our rockets, another task to help us out with this project was to make our own parachute, for this task we had many different materials too choose from, and the objective was to make the slowest and most controlled parachute, the parachute had to hold two nut bolts, my group used 2 sheets of fabric, masking tape and some string. After making our parachute we had to get it tested to see how long it took to fall, ours took roughly 2 seconds, here is a photo of our final parachute design. Have you ever made a parachute?



Bye, everyone!

Super Samoan Animation!

 Kia Ora bloggers,
This week before tec we were working on samoan animations, our animations had to include a conversation between two people. These are the words in my animation translated to english. 


Tālofa - Hello
O ā mai ‘oe? - how are you?
Manuia fa’afetai - well, thank you
Ae ā ‘o? - How about you?
Manuia fo’i fa’afetai - I am fine also thank you
Manuia le aso - Have a good day
Tōfā - Goodbye
Here is my animation. Do you know any of these words?

Bye everyone!
