Welcome to the SHS’s Learning Journey Programme! Day 5

Activity 1: To create a short story about what happened after the tour left without me.

I was terrified when I figured out I was in a forest ALONE! So I looked high and low to see if I could find the rest of the group then suddenly… A giant weka jumped out at me from nowhere. I thought It was a dream until it bit me with it’s big beak. Then suddenly a real weka jumped out and scared me yet again. Then My brother popped out of the first weka and turns out he was dressed as a weka just to scare me. Then he helped me find my tour but… They were just getting in the bus to go back home yay. THE END

Activity 2: To learn about a famous New Zealander and create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about him/her.

Welcome to the SHS’s Learning Journey Programme! Day 4

We have traveled to the north island and are exploring Farwell Spit and Golden bay. Every day we get given points on the amount of activities we have done we always get bonus activity that we can do if we want. The aim of the game is to win.


Activity 1: make a breif summary on what the viligers do at Farwell Spit to try to help the whales.


First they tryed to keep themalive bye making sure there blow holes were clean / clear. Then they covered them with some blankets. Then they grabed anything that could keep them most / wet.




Bonus Activity: Write a summary about wether we think that fishing in Farwell Spit should be banned / stopped and why.


I think Fishing in farwell spit should be stopped / banned because hector dolfins are a native NZ (New Zealand) animal. They are also one of the smallest dolfins in the worls at only 1.5 meaters (thats small). They are also very rare because there are not many of this sepcies  because of fishers.

Calender Art

This week Ponui-o-Toka have been making calendar art. There were three options cityscape, koru or hearts, I decided to choose hearts (Because it looked like it was the easiest and funnest). First we got a piece of scrap paper and began to plan so I started off by using a ruler to draw my lines in then I did it the other way. Then it was time to start drawing in our hearts, Once I was happy with my drawing I just the teacher gave me the my piece of paper that I did my calendar art on. So then I repeated the process where you get a ruler and rule your lines with a pencil then I decided to draw my heart's in each square grid on the paper and then I had to go along with the vivid along lines.

Net + Ettiquette = Netiquette

This week Ponui-o-Toka learnt about Nettiquette for Cybersmart we allways do Cybersmart on Thrusday with Mr Maddren and Mrs Morgan. Nettiquette is Ettiquette but on the net / internet. Mr maddren got us to make a MindMup by intoducing us to it and also made us make somthing else about nettiquette.

Did I help you learn about Netiquette?
