Dragonflies

 When we were studying the river, we had a poem for the week about Dragonflies.

This week in our Cybersmart lesson we completed this Explain Everything project about Dragonflies.

Listen to the class read our poem together.

Here is Mack's work. He knows lots about Dragonflies.

And here is Olivia's work. She also knows lots about Dragonflies.

Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu - Nō hea koe?

Nō hea koe? 
Where are you from? 

We are in a Manaiakalani programme called Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu. 

We have got 2 blogging buddies. 
We take turns at reading each other's blogs and commenting on the posts.

Here are our 3 schools. 

Have you been to the places where these schools are? 

St Mary's Catholic Primary School is in Tūranganui A Kiwa/Gisborne.

Matawai School is in Tairāwhiti. 

Wigram School is in Christchurch | Otautahi.

Let's fly over New Zealand and find the schools.

River Visit

 We went to Korte's Creek to look at the river and all the things that live and grow there.

We used Explain Everything on our iPad to make a project about our visit. We drew the living things we found. We took photos of some of the insects we found. We used the lasso tool to cut around the image. We recorded our voices to tell you about our images. 

Here is Ollie's video. He has used a very clear voice. 

Ka pai tō mahi Ollie!

This is Me

 This week in or Cybersmart lesson with Mrs Torrie we used our iPad camera to take a selfie. Then we edited the image and drew on it to give ourselves sunglasses and sunhats for the summer.

Then we added the images to Explain Everything and recorded our voice. What a lot of work we did today.

Here is Indie's work. 

Room 1 2021

This is Room 1 of Matawai School.

Our teacher is Mrs Fisher.

Every Monday Mrs Torrie comes and we learn how to use our iPads.

Today we made a project about the building.

They are building two new classrooms.

When they are built Room 3 and Room 4 are going to be demolished and 

they will be move into the new classrooms.

Things I like

 Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were leanring how to find images that we are allowed to use. We saved the images and then we made a movie with them. 

Here is Kyle's movie. He likes lots of things. What do you like?

Sunsmart

 At Matawai School we have to wear a sunhat in term 1 and term 4. We all have school hats to wear. Our hats hang up in the corridor when we are not wearing them. As well as this we sit in the shade to eat. We took photos of each other eating our lunch in the shade. We took a photo of a place we like to play as well. 

Here are some of our movies about being sunsmart.
