March Studant Reflection

All About Pink River Dolphins

This week I was learning how to write a report from my choice.
I enjoyed writing this fact file because they are my friend's favorite animal.
I found it challenging to put the facts in my own words.
My digital learning object shows how to write a report.
Next time I would change some of the facts.

All About Jaguars

This week I was learning how to write a report on a subject of my choice.
I enjoyed making the fact file because I got to research and watch the informational video.
I found it challenging to describe the Jaguar.
My digital learning object shows how to create a report.
Next time I would change the animal to a Pink River Dolphin.

Sustainable Seas

In class today we are making Save Our Seas posters and I found it hard to choose my facts for my fact file. My favorite part was decorating the poster because I got to use different gradients. Next time I would change the wave because it is in the way.

The Story Of The Horouta Waka

Pawa and Kiwa 

Today we were learning about the Horota, and some people from the museum came and taught us about it. We did some art about it, and this is the waka I made. 

Pawa and Kiwa were famous sea voyagers who lived in a far away place called Hawaiki. They came to New Zealand on a Horouta waka. They came with Hinehākirirangi and his daughter Hineakua. Kiwa’s son Kahutuanui was also there. Horouta was fast and carried Kumara to NZ. It was Hinehākirirangi’s job to look after the Kumera. 

The Horouta hit a sandbar sailing to Aoteroa, and then stopped to repair it. Pawa and Kiwa discussed how to fix it and settled that Kiwa would look after the boat while Pawa looked for the timbers to fix it. They discovered a beautiful bay with birds, animals, and plants. Kiwa named Turanganui - a - Kiwa. It means the waiting place of Kiwa. Pawa climbed mountains and canyons looking for the timbers. When they got back to the Horouta they celebrated by having a marriage. Hineakua and Kahutuanui were married.
