Powerful Learning About The Kawa Of Care

 Hi bloggers  this week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about  the Kawa of Care for our chromebook. We got to choose what we were going to create for our Kawa of Care DLO/ Digital Learning Object.  Me and my group decided to make a comic strip about why you shouldn't take your chromebook outside.

 I learnt that you shouldn't take your chromebook outside because it could get wet and break. It was hard to make a comic strip but we finished it and got it marked green.  If it gets marked green that means it is complete.

Have you ever made a comic strip before?

Interesting Facts About Roy Lichtenstein

 Hi bloggers this week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about a famous artist Roy Lichtenstein. Roy Lichtenstein was famous for pop art.

I learnt that Roy Lichtenstein was born in New York in 1923. We have not done our art yet but we will be doing it on Monday. We have to predict what art techniques we might use. Me and Mikaila predicted that the art techniques we would use are: Ben Day dots, lines/stripes, shading/color, shapes and angles. 

I enjoyed learning about Roy Lichtenstein because I like art.

Have you ever done art with Ben Day Dots?

In water testing I learnt that the darkest shade of blue is polluted water and the darkest shade of yellow is

Mind Blowing Facts About Cricket

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about cricket. I learnt about batting and catching. When you are batting you have to point your foot where you want the ball to go. If you miss the ball and it hits the three wickets that is one bat down. When you are feilding you have to do two things. These two things are using teamwork to get the ball to the bowler and if we catch the ball then we stop the game and swap teams. We played non stop cricket.
