Lockdown fun

 Kia ora e te whānau

I t has been really wonderful to see so many of the whānau joining us for our morning karakia and waiata session. Thanks also to all the wonderful tamariki joining us for our class meet at 9.45. 

I am looking forward to blogging some amazing work this week. The challenge is to blog at least one piece of your mahi on your own blog and I will find some super cool stuff to blog. Stay safe and be kind.

I am loving Nevaeh's awesome alphabet challenge. Taukē Nevaeh.

Playing with Jamboard

This morning we have had a go at using Google Jam board as a tool to create. We have played with using the drawing tool and also the sticky notes. Then added in an emoji of our choice.

Kiore traps!

Yesterday we looked at kiore (rat) traps that Māori used! There were 3 different types

1. Rua torea
2. Taupopoki 3. Tāwhiti makamaka Check out their blogs to see what they created! They designed their own one or based their kiore trap off one of these traps.

Animal toast

Kia ora koutou,

Yesterday at kura we made animal toast! The tamariki all chose to do the same one ... A bear!
They WASHED THEIR HANDS (of course) and cut up bananas and grapes. We used Nutella for the upoko... YUM!

They were delicious - whakawaiwai!

Here are some pikitia :) have a go at making your own animals!

How to embed a video on your blog

Let me know if you have any more problems.

Exercise video

How to put a video on your blog!

Kia ora koutou,

THANK YOU WHAEA KELSEY

Watch the video to see an easy way to embed a video onto your blog!
Kia kaha, much easier then my previous blog post ..

Putting a video on your blog

Kia ora e te whānau

This is a post to show you (hopefully) how to put up a video without it taking so long!

First save the video to your drive (on the left hand side, upload new file, chose where you have saved it I usually put it on my desktop then upload it from there). Put it in the right subject folder.

Then up the top when you are writing your blog post there should be "Link" in blue

Click on it 

A box pops up 

On another tab open up your video (on your drive) and copy and paste the URL in the box (next to "web address" box) click "Okay" and the link should come up under your writing --- see my link below ...

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1faaY_EQuKyTJYCnoBiUDc8_XzR_2I3mZ


Then people will click on the link and be taken to your video. They may have to then ask for access which will come up on your email and you can allow them.


Hopefully that works! Please email me if you still have some trouble.
Kia pai to rā
