Habitat hui

                                                      Habitat hui

                               

On Monday last week it was habitat hui. Habitat hui is when our class comes together and we have a little assembly. In the other habitat hui's our learning coaches(teachers) were presenting habitat but on Monday we had 2 learners present habitat hui for us. There names are jasmine and Vrishti. Now I will tell you how our habitat hui runs. First we have notices such as about rubbish or uniforms. Secondly we do certificates. Our learning coaches hand out certificates for collaboration or our fish philosophy followers. Our fish philosophies are choose your attitude, make someones day, be present and  playing with fun. Along with the certificate we also do Caught being oresome. At our school we call awesome oresome because it starts with or midtown on ore. So basically the caught being oresome box is when some of our learning coaches draw out some tickets which people try to earn by doing good deeds. Some people ar lucky enough to get their name drawn out of the box. I always win!!! But now I don't really. The people who get their name drawn out they get to pick 1 prize. If your name gets drawn out of the box 2 times then you get to choose 2 prize and so on. That how our habitat hui runs.

On Tuesday 11th August some learners were presenting their presentation for Wednesday because those learners who were presenting along with some other people they were going to point view school to help other people know how to use google apps.The people who were going to present they were practising it on us. There were some categories for where the people would want to go. Even though I was not presenting nor I was going to watch them. I went to the blog session. The sessions were actually workshops. The other ones were our habitat website, our google sites and our learning pathway. On the blog we played a game from dog with the blog and we wrote on a pad sheet what we think blogger is.

Our trip to the zoo

            Trip to Auckland zoo             On term 3 Thursday we went to the zoo because we were looking at collaborative so we are looking at animals. We saw lots of amazing animals.My favourite animal was the elephant because it was interesting to know about them. There names were Angalee and Burma. We learnt lots of things about animals since we were learning about animals at school. We saw a elephants tusk. It was so long it had a little face carved on it. We also saw a elephants tooth. IT WAS SO BIG!!!!. I also learnt that some people cut of elephants tusks and then make them into jewellery and the elephants tusk is made out of ivory.

Maori language week

                            Maori language week.


On week 2 term 3 it was Maori language week. On Monday we learnt about animals and how to say their names in Maori. We also finished our digital Mihi which is a greeting. On Tuesday we did a rotation, first I went to my hapu leader we did a pic collage. We first read a book of maori words and translates to english. The words that were difficult to say for us we had to take a photo of it and then insert it to our pic collage. On our second rotation we learnt about adaptation. Adaptation means the process of change by which organism or species becomes better suited to its environment. Our third rotation was Waiata's with our third and last learning coach known as teacher we learnt three songs. We learnt Te Aroha with sign language and how to sing it. Our second song is worlds greatest.  Our third song is wairua tapu tau mai ra. Lastly our fourth song was e toru nga mea. On Wednesday we made a capybara with clues but no one knew it. Everyone drew what they thought what a capybara looked like. On Thursday we went to the zoo. On Friday we did sports and art. For art we did post art. I enjoyed maori language week.
