Cyber smart 18/8/20

We are learning what makes a quality blog comment and a explanation of the learning from today.

Today we had to follow some task that Wheae Ness gave us . First we talked in pairs about the comments we say to others online.Then we went off to create a template in our pairs for our comics we were going to create.Then we created our own comics about positive blog posts. This is mine.

Reflection: I really enjoyed creating my own comic about comments.

Thank you Wheae Ness for teaching us about being cyber smart today.

Maramataka learning 13/8/20

 WALT: understand and explain the concept about Maori time telling. 

Here is some things I learnt. I learnt that the Gregorion calendar is based on how many days it takes the earth to travel around the sun. I also learnt that when the Europeans came  to New Zealand Maori translated the days of the week from the Gregorion calendar by what the words sounded like Mone[Monday] 

Guess what...in the 1990s  the Maori changed it again to symbolize the meaning of the word - like Ratu[Tuesday] which means Ra[sun]Tu[Tumatauenga]

Learning about the maramataka is important because its ours.  

I have an Iwonder. My I wonder is - why did the Maori start using the Gregorion calendar when they  should of kept using the Lunar calendar? 

This is my mind map
what I enjoyed was creating my own mind map and I also enjoyed learning new things about Maori time telling.

Nau mai, haere mai ki tēnei taonga
