Task Description: For writing, we did spoken word poetry. Spoken word poetry is a type of poetry that doesn’t really need to rhyme (unless it’s for emphasis and stuff.) It contains a gateway line that usually repeats and sometimes elements of hip-hop or jazz so that it hooks readers in.
Task Description: For this weeks Cybersmart Challenge, it was a Google Docs “Scavenger Hunt”. The google doc had a series of tasks to do, the first one was to change the bullet points into a checklist. Above is my work!
Task Description: For the week 2 Cybersmart Challenge, it was about caring for your Chromebook. The task was to watch a video, pause and screenshot whenever a student was showing the kawa of care. After that, you insert the screenshot under the caption on the slide that matches it.
Putting my Chromebook back into the case before I carry it / go outside keeps it safe.
Task Description: For reading, there is a weekly choice board. The weekly choice board has a reading challenge, a grammar challenge, there is also a choice where you can just read with someone. For this week, I chose to do the grammar challenge. Above is the grammar challenge, basically you put the correct punctuation marks at the end of sentences that need a specific punctuation mark.
Task Description: For week 6 reading, one of the Monday ‘Must Dos’ was vocab pyramids. The vocab pyramid is basically, word, the definition of the word, a sentence containing the word, and synonyms for the word. For each reading group there is a word list, those are the words you are supposed to use for the vocabulary pyramids. Each reading group has different words in their lists because the words are from the different books/texts each reading group has. Above is the work I did!
That Was Summer
Have you ever felt summer?
Sure you have.
Remember that time,
When you got out of the cold refreshing pool?
Remember the weather being so hot that you could already feel yourself getting dry before even using your towel?
That was summer.
Have you ever heard summer?
Sure you have.
Remember that time,
When you walked back into your room after a fun time outside, the air inside being so boiling hot that you could almost see it? Remember opening the window for some fresh air, the chatting of the cicadas filling your ears?
That was summer.
Have you ever seen summer?
Sure you have.
Remember that time,
When you were taking a walk, and as you passed a house you saw gorgeous flower bushes? Remember all the honey bees collecting nectar and pollen, buzzing and jumping from one flower to the other?
That was summer.
Have you ever smelt summer?
Sure you have.
Remember that time,
When you woke in the morning, finally not drenched in sweat because of the rain last night?
Remember opening the window so that the condensation on your windows would go away, the smell of petrichor filling your lungs?
That was summer.
Task Description: For writing during week 1 & 2, Team Tui wrote about either summer or Christmas and put it in sort of the same format as ‘That was summer’ by Marci Ridlon. Above is my writing for this task!

Task Description: In Team Tui, we were learning about words of affirmation. Words of affirmation are positive words that show your respect or love towards another person or yourself. The purpose of learning this was because experts agree that positive words of affirmation can give a boost in confidence for young children which helps them develop a positive self image. It also encourages positive thinking. Above the task description is my writing for this task.
On Friday the 8th, we had a Team Tui expo! It started from after assembly and ended at the end of morning tea. The expo was basically just us showcasing our slides and create for the LCS we did. The LCS was to learn and create stuff about the cultural group we are in for the cultural festival (which is going to happen next week Friday). For the LCS, Liana and I were in the same cultural group (Zumba) so we partnered up. We created a headband and loom bands!
Task Description: Today for cyber smart, the challenge was to identify the elements of a quality blog post. The elements of a quality blog post is, a unique and interesting title, adding a category and tags, including a digital learning object in your pose and information about your learning.
Then, for the task on the slide, it was to find one of your blog posts with all those elements and label them. The blog post I added was about my IXL measurement learning. I don’t really think the title was unique and interesting but, I don’t know how to make unique and interesting titles so I couldn’t fix it.
My top tip for creating a quality blog post is probably making a good and specific task description on your blog post.
