My Wheke Document

What does Beth think about Octopus’? I think that Beth likes to save marine 

animals but she also likes to save and take care of other sea animals like octopi.

How do you know that? Because she has a collection of marine animals 

in the laboratory.

How do you think Martin feels about octopus’? I think that Martin is scared 

of octopuses.

How do you know that? Because when he was looking at the octopus

 I could tell that he was scared because of his facial expressions.

What type of job does Beth have? Beth’s job is a marine biologist. 

She takes care of sea creatures and studies them.

How does she know Martin? She knows Martin because he is her 

next door neighbor, I know this because in the book it says 

Beth was Martin's neighbour.

Narrative: Retell the story in order.

What was the problem? Martin was quite scared of octopus because 

when he was looking at the Octopus he thought that Octopi was horrifying.

What was the solution? Martin was regularly visiting Wheke for a long time 

and caring for him. He then became good friends with Wheke and wasn’t scared 

of him at all.

Who were the characters? Martin, his Mum, Beth and Wheke.

Where was the setting? In Beth's laboratory and the sea.

We were learning to infer and make predictions when we are reading.

I found it easy to understand the questions.

I found it hard to gather my information for my doc.

I really enjoyed creating this document.

Next time I need to think more harder and make more time for my learning.

My Digital Map

We are learning about how we advertise ourselves online.

We talked about only posting things online that keeps us safe. We learned

how tagging photos and posts make it easier to find out bout someone, so we need to be careful about

our posts content.

We created a DLO showing our Digital Day.

Today we made a Digital Map for Cybersmart and used our history to find out what sites and pages that we visited in the past.

Secondly we used the search bar and looked for those icons. We also had footprints to make a path on our Digital Map.

Thirdly and finally we put the icons on our Digital Map.

I noticed that the most sites that I visited were google.

 

Nga Awa

For science we were learning about our local rivers and waterways.

Our task was to find local rivers and waterways around New Zealand and to pin them down

I found it hard to find the waterways

I found it easy to put icons on the pins

I really enjoyed creating My Maps

Next time I need gather more information from google

Octopus Poem

I found it easy to highlight the verbs, adjectives, nouns and the adverbs.

I found it hard to draw my fish and jellyfish.

I really enjoyed colouring in.

Next time I need to take some time and stop rushing through my drawings.

Matariki Information

I found it easy to colour my stars.

I found it hard to get information from the book and on google

I really enjoyed creating my Matariki drawing

Next time I need to work faster so I can finish early.

 

Smart Footprint:

 

We were learning about our digital footprint.

We talked about private and public information.

I learned that where ever you go when you are online, your device always tracks you.

I already knew not to give your private information.

My Blake NZ V-R Presentation

Last term Blake NZ visited. We  learned about Marine Reserves. We were able to use VR sets to explore the oceans.

I found it easy to learn about protecting the ocean because the VR sets mode were interesting
