For this weeks reading we are learning if playing video games is good or bad for us. We had to create posters and web profiles about our favourite characters in different video games we like playing. We also had to write our opinions about video games on Jamboard.
Today was our last day at Ako Whanau Jain's area. We had to learn about different artist and create our own peice of art! We had to pick an artist and get inspired by their piece of art. My artist was Dick Frizzell and the art I chose was Mickey Mouse as a Tiki, instead of Mickey I did donald duck.
EVALUATE: What worked well during the challenge? What challenges did you face? In the future how would you improve on your design?
I think that the thing that worked well the most during the challenge was the design and style I chose. I really liked it! The hardest thing was choosing the colors and taking risks and hoping that they all worked well together. To improve my design in the future I would have added a bit more Tiki accents and brighter colors.
Heres my drawing!
For this weeks reading our big question was "What is better, Playing sports or music?" I think that playing sports is better because it keeps you fit and healthy. We had to read a text about the Olympics and take a photo of us pretending to compete in a sport. My favorite part of our reading was making my poster.
For STEAM we went to Whaea Tamzin's area in Kahikatea Hub and we had to make a presentation about frogs. We had to work in groups and create different slides for each and every new idea! We learnt so much facts about frogs and what they do. I really enjoyed finding out about the fun facts!

Dear Prime Minister Adern, I am writing to you because i would like to inform you on some things we could do to help keep our country safe from Covid 19. I believe these small things could make a HUGE difference.
In my opinion I think that everyone should get a vaccine when its their turn and until then we should all wear masks. I think the we should also cheapen the masks because some people might not be able to afford one. It seems to me that this would help keep everyone safe and we would end up with much less people ending up with Covid 19.
I believe that people without housing or not much money should get sent out little gift baskets from volunteers. They could have masks, water, food ETC. To get people to know about this cause you could send out an email or even say it on the news when you can. Asking for volunteers will definitely help, I am sure of it! I have no doubt that this will make someones day and help protect these poor lives, it will also take away that risk of even more people getting the Virus.
It is my belief that if we get 10-20 cases we should definitely move up a level if we get to 10, if we get to 20 or higher we should move up at least 2 more levels. People may not like this but I am certain that this will help with so many different things.
As you can see, these are very small things and ideas, but I really do think that these ideas will make a HUGE difference and hopefully Covid 19 will make its way off our earth.
For this weeks reading we are learning about different issues that are happening around the world! We also were learning about different opinions and how to accept them. My favorite part of this weeks reading was making my DLO about pollution.
