Sharing my Knowledge about Ecosystem

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about ecosystems. We were learning to make connections between different things we read or view to create new learning. Our purpose is to connect information we already know with new information to understand what we read.

I learnt that ecosystems need a producer, consumer, and decomposer to keep an ecosystem running. I learnt that energy flows through an ecosystem through something called photosynthesis which is the energy from the sunlight that allows plant matter to grow, every ecosystem needs the sun to produce the plants and trees which then helps the consumers. I also learnt that birds and trees have a mutual relationship, they benefit each other, the trees benefit the birds by giving them food (berries) and the birds helping trees reproduce from eating the berries so they don’t grow so close to other trees so they benefit each other.

Something I could do better next time is to re-read the text to find all the key information. Have you learnt about ecosystems? I hope you enjoyed.

Caring For The Kawa Of Care

In Te Ngahere we have been focusing on the kawa of care. Kawa of care is about keeping your chromebook safe. It is important to always follow the kawa of care. The Kawa of Care is an agreement between children, parents and schools to ensure the best care and responsibility of the device is exercised during each child’s time in a 1:1 learning environment. In our classroom we are really committed to the kawa of care, for example I know two students who got there chromebook taken off them because they were walking with their lids open. This is really bad because it might fall and break. After we re-learnt about the kawa of care we then had to create something to show what not to do with your chromebook. We made a video and it looked pretty realistic to us and it will be down below if you want to see it. Don’t break the kawa of care. I hope you liked this blogpost. Do you follow the kawa if care?

Symmetrical Name Art

In Te Ngahere this week we have been doing symmetry name art. I enjoyed doing this art because it was fun but also a bit hard and it took some time. In the end it looked awesome. Something I could do better next time is to focus more on the subject and take my time because I was more excited to see the finished product then actually making the art piece. I forgot to take a picture or my own art but here is an example of what it would have looked like. If you want to learn how to make these you could check out my friends blog by clicking this link @Jade's Blog. I hope you enjoyed and learn how to make these. Ka Kite!

Fantastic Facts!

Kia ora welcome back to my blog, In Te Ngahere we have been discovering facts about Roy Lichtenstein. He is a famous Artist and actually made his own art. His art was really unique and no one else knew about it at the time he created it. He was really famous for his comic book art. Roy Lichtenstein started art at a art school when he was only a teenager. He attended art, drawing and sketching classes. He died at age 73 and would be 97 this year in 2021. He created dotted designs and was very famous for them. People say he did this because he felt these things could be improved. He used 4-6 solid colours. If you want to know more information about him check out my DLO. We haven't started our art yet but we have made predictions. What I did well was managing my learning and getting it completed on time. What I need to do better is focus on the task and to find for other information. Did you know who Roy Lichtenstein was? I hope I taught you something new. Kia Kite!

100 Word Story #3

 This is my 3rd 100 word story. It was the strangest thing. She turned and it disappeared. Her interest got the best of her, away in the woods she went one step at a time. Noises all around branches snapping smells getting stronger. What did she see in the distance? A hidden door she was bound to explore. Walking closer than she went in slowly. No light was shown and the smells got worse. The door shut and before she could reach it, ‘clink’ it locked. A strange man stood above her and disappeared slowly. Could this be a dream? she said as she closed her eyes... This photo is from https://www.pobble365.com/the-ghostly-shadow. 

100 Word Story

This is my 2nd 100 word story. Every night he had the same dream. Every night he was stuck in the same cycle, doing the same thing, night after night. “What could it be?” he asked himself mysteriously. But again as he rested he had the same dream. It was cryptic and he couldn’t understand what was happening but he kept on doing the same thing. Once he had awoken from his sleep in the dense morning night while it was thundering the strangest thing had happened. When we went back to bed he had a different dream as if it was magical. It was so astonishing. This photo was from https://www.pobble365.com/on-repeat-2
