Amazing Learning About Te Reo Maori

 For a few weeks in Te Ngahere we have been working on Te Reo Maori pronunciation. We had to go on a site called Education Perfect. We went on this site because we had to learn to pronounce the correct way of saying the alphabet, greetings and place names in Maori. We went on Education Perfect and screencastify ourselves saying the place names, alphabet and greetings in Maori. It took me a long time to finish because my screencastify was playing up. In the future I think I would work on saying my place names better. I think I did well on my Maori Alphabet

Have you ever used Education Perfect to learn anything???

Mind Blowing Smart Surfing

 This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about smart surfing. Smart surfing is when you find keywords in questions to get more accurate answers. I learnt that when you Google search using keywords you get more accurate results. We had to find keywords in questions to find the more accurate results for example what do spiders eat? If you take out the keywords in that the words are spiders diet. 

It was easy to do it but I  got a little stuck on the last slide. 

It is better to search using keywords because it will give you very accurate results.

Delightful Lunch At Greens

 This week in Te Ngahere we went out for lunch for Shivam’s birthday. I was excited to go for lunch because we go every year for his birthday. We went to Greens because his parents own the restaurant. 

We ate butter chicken and we got Coca Cola and Sprite. The food was delicious and the drink had lots of sugar in it so it kept me hyped up. 

When we were finishing our food we got big easter eggs.  We helped clean the restaurant. We surprised Shivam  with a happy birthday card and sang happy birthday in Maori and english. We acknowledged his parents for having us by singing three waiata. He said his parents had goosebumps. Have you ever been to a restaurant for a birthday before?
