Malala Yousafzai
Hey bloggers
For Literacy in distance learning, we had to create a fact file about Malala Yousafzai
using Bitable. I enjoyed making this because bitable is easy and fun to work with.
I found all of my information entirely using a single article. What could I have done better?
Blog ya later Ben

Microplastics
In inquiry, we have been learning about water or to be more specific Microplastics our task was to create a canvas poster about microplastics. I think I did bad because it looks bad. I researched for some facts and used canva to make the poster.
do you think it looks bad?

Mystical Matariki Kites
Happy Matariki everyone!
On the 2 July we celebrated the Māori New Year, a time to consider the year ahead. The days are starting to lengthen and spring will soon be here, we just need to get through this cold winter first!
Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have got many stories attached to them. We looked at two; one about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured. We have mixed these two stories to create the design of our kites.
My kite has Tawhirimatea and the wind represented with the clouds. I then coloured it in as a rainbow.
What stories have you heard about Matariki?
