Tuna Kuwaruwharu (Longfin Eel)

This term we have been learning all about the longfin Eel.

Our assembly item was based on the story Velvet and Elvis. This was a story about the migration journey that the longfin Eel takes.

I have created 2 different  digital learning objects (DLO) to share my learning on this topic.

The first is a poster that I created in my topic book about the challenges to the long fin Eel.  I was away during this topic time so I will take a photo and insert it when I am finished my poster.

I also created a poster sharing 5 interesting facts using google docs.

MY wonderful Reading video - The tame eels of Anatoki by Angie Belcher

When I was videoing myself reading I felt nervous but excited because I have done it before.

I learnt how to take my video and embed it into my blog.  

A quality blog  post needs a title, writing about my learning and a (DLO) digital learning object).

Waitangi Learning

Last Tuesday I got to school early because Te manga was going to 

waitangi we got of the bus when we arrived at waitangi whaea kerry and whaea monika took us strat up stairs. I felt nerviness

but really exited I look'd t the Antarctica art inside. I saw bean bags

and cushions in the class room I saw the green screen too.

Next we sat on the mat and talk'd about what we were going to do.

after that we did an unplugged activity we had to sort cards 1 to 50

we were in groups I was with Alani and Zana we were asking lots of questions we were the second group to finish. after that Catalan

brought some taonga we were guessing how old they were. After we made our self's in the background we created the eels. I made mine look like a real eel with sun glasses and when we made the eels and our self's we had to make them move by putting code's into a box like move 5 steps and speech bubbles that said there's an eel and what they do in real life. It was so fun.

Lastly we went to the field and played chain tag and hare in the whare. When we were done we went back in and said good bye it was sad leaving but we had to noooooooo.
