Activity One - What's my Favourite Animal?

Welcome to another post on my blog. This is another activity of the Learning Journey. For this task, we had to share our favourite animal. My favourite animal is Tigers. What is yours?

Tigers' status is endangered. Which means that they are endangered. There are only 3,900 Tigers left. Tigers' scientific name is Panthera tigris. There is a range of places or habitats where tigers live, evergreen forests, tropical rainforests, mangrove swamps, temperate forests, savannas and grasslands. There are two subspecies of tigers. They are known as the Sunda Island tiger and the continental tiger.

The largest tiger is the Asian big cats, they rely on sight and sound rather than the smell of hunting. A tiger can eat up to 40 kilograms (approx) of meat at one time. On average, tigers can give birth from two to four cubs - every two years. It is known that tigers go in the wild when reaching 20 years of age.

Activity Three - Homonyms?

Welcome to my first post of the Learning Journey. In this post, I will be doing Activity Three, which is to write Homonyms. Do you know what are Homonyms? Homonyms is a word which is spelt the same, but it has two different meanings. Here is one example, 'bat'. 1. Bat is an animal. 2. Bat is used in sports for hitting the ball. Now you understand? So, the task for this activity is to add more Homonyms.

Here are some Homonyms that I've got. Also, I will add the meanings for the Homonyms.

I hope you like my post about Homonyms. If you know more Homonyms, comment down below. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Similar to the Summer Learning Journey, there is a Learning Journey that we can do during the holidays. This holidays, it is about creatures and animals. There are tasks that we can do, and we can do as many as we like. Each activity is worth points, we can earn 2 extra points by writing a quality comment on the other Uru Manuka cluster blogs. To be counted as points, it has to be at least 3 sentences long and 1 specific detail about the post.

So I hope you like knowing about our Learning Journey that I am going to do in the holidays. Please comment down on my Learning Journey posts. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Want a Chromebook??!! | Media Team

Last week for Media Team, we had discussed about adverts. We had to make an advert (video) about selling a school jacket. Yesterday, we had to make an advert, again. Last week, we had decided what to sell. It could be anything. So William and I thought to try to sell a Chromebook.

We had brainstormed first of what we are doing. Here is our brainstorm.

We had to record our video in screencastify. Below is our video that we had made.

I hope you like my post about our advert. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Tapuae Reflection

Two hours ago, we went to the courts to play Tapuae. I had posted about how to play the game, click here for more information. Also, we are playing with ripper tags. We have to answer some questions about what we had done today (a reflection).

• What is Tapu Ae?
• Tapuae is a Maori traditional game. This game is played hard surfaces, like a netball court or a basketball court. The aim of this game is to knock over the tapu (tennis ball), you need to use the ki (ball) to knock over the tapu.

• What are some of the basic rules?
1. You cannot kick the ball.
2. You can run with the ki.
3. Start the games by throwing the ki into Te Ao (the middle zone) this is done after each tupu hit.

• What is some of the te reo Māori kupu that we talked about?
• Attackers - Kaiwhai
• Defender - Whakawawao
• Guardian - kaitiaki
• The middle zone - Te Ao
• The guardian zone - Pawero

• What was your role in your team for these games?
• I was an attacker and a defender.

• What did you enjoy the most about the game?
• Playing as an attacker and trying to score for our team.

• What were some of the drawbacks that you can think of?
• I got subbed off for the most of the game.
• We need to focus on our defending and some attacking.

• What could your team do better next time you play?
• We could get better with our subs because some players didn't went out.
• Marking players so when they get the ki, we can rip their tags off. 
• Passing the ball quickly, so the opponents wouldn't rip out tags off.
• Catching well, having some catching practice, sometimes our team drops catches.
