Hey bloggers, this week is the last week of the term, so this week the book I am doing is called The Celebration Of Matariki. Also there is no Walt, unless Walt is Matariki. Anyway back to the book. This book is telling us what we do on Matariki, so it tells us about Store Houses, and what food they have in them. They also tell us what they use to cook these foods. They also tell us how they celebrate Matariki.

Create Task 1

For the first task we had to go and create a Google Video, so on this Google Video we had to record ourselves reading a short Summary of our book. So first I did the first Video Slide, on that slide I wrote the title of the book and did the background, as a nice night sky so it would match. Next I moved on to the next slide and added stars and a few words and then I did a voice over.

Here is my Video on the Book called The Celebration of Matariki!

Create Task 2

For the second task we had to create a copy of a Google Drawing. We are meant to create a poster about Matariki. So first I changed the Page Setup, I made it so it looked like a poster. Next I made a Dark-Blue Sky as the background using Gradient background colours. Next I wrote Matariki using the Permanent Marker font and then wrote a lot of facts about Matariki! Next I changed a lot of fonts and got one I liked.

Here is my Matariki Poster!

Create Task 3

For the third task we had to create another Google Drawing, for this one I did not change the Page Setup. So for this task we had to go and write a Letter to the teacher on why Matariki is important. So first I changed the background colour into a nice light and dark red colour. Next I went and added a title and then wrote a long reason for why Matariki is Important. Also this time I did it to Miss Ferguson!

Here is my letter to Miss Ferguson!

Hey bloggers today is Wednesday and it is week 8, for this week’s cybersmart is using the new app called silk, we learnt this thing called silk with Gilberthorpe school. With this Silk we could make very cool patterns and super cool art. We could use this art as screensavers and background pictures. We could also use this to have fun, make cool stuff, and show them to you, our friends and our teachers. This was very fun to use and I really enjoyed this and it was very very fun. So we could then screenshot it and blog it, and share it to all the people who can see it!

Here is my Silk Art!

Bye bye bloggers I hope you liked my blog and don’t forget to comment!

Hey bloggers this week the thing we are doing for reading is related to Matariki because this Friday is Matariki! So this time we could choose the book we are doing out of Three options. The Stars of Matariki, The Matariki Icon and Star Gazing. So last week I did Star Gazing so that leaves me with two options. So I chose The Stars Of Matariki. All the books were digital. So this book is an article. It is about why the sky was special in the early days, what each and every star represented and what Matariki is. So that is what that article is about!

Create Task 1

For the first task we had to go and do the task called recall, this task was to create a video of what this article is about. So first I did the front Cover, I included the title of the book and added a really nice background that related to the book. Next I moved to the next slide where I would record myself reading a summary of the book. SO first I did a Voice over and did the summarising background as a nice blue and black sky with seven stars.

I enjoyed this task and it was pretty easy, the recording took three minutes to do and the background blend with gradient took one minute and then writing and putting In the pictures took at least four to five minutes. So it did not take that long and it was pretty easy to do all of this.

So here is My video about The Stars Of Matariki!

Create Task 2

For the second task we had to go and do a task called Understand. For this Task we had to create a Poster about Matariki. So I didn’t know what to create it on, so I created it on a Google Drawing and took some time using the page format to make it look like a Poster! So first I change the background in to a gradient colour and then wrote Matariki on it and then added what it is and what it means and how important it is for some people!

So I enjoyed this task, it was pretty easy and took me a bit shorter than the first task and it was easy to type down the facts and easy to do the background because I already had a Background in mind that I wanted to use, anyway this was very fun!

Here is My Matariki Poster!

Create task 3

For the third task we had to go and do a task called Evaluate, for this task we had to go and make a letter to a teacher why Matariki is Important. So I did this on another Google Drawing and wrote a nice letter to a teacher why Matariki is Important. I did this letter to Whea Annie because she is my teacher for reading. This was very fun to doing!

I had very fun doing this and this was very easy to do and it was easy to make the background and write the letter!

Here is my letter why Matariki is Important and To Whea Annie!

So the book is called Star Gazing, so Star Gazing is about Stella’s family going to her house to eat dinner. they eat dinner but the table is very squishy, so Stella leaves, goes out the back door and looks into the air. She looks at the stars and then her Nan comes out and startles her. Nan tells her a story about one of the bright stars, the bright star is called Mere, Mere was a naughty star, she wanted to be the brightest star and she almost was until Matariki came and was brighter then Mere. Mere was Jealous, she teamed up with one of the gods and smashed Matariki into seven pieces. So later Stella goes to bed and can’t sleep. She couldn’t sleep because her cousins were snoring loudly. When she is almost asleep, something bright comes and Mere is in the room. She wakes Stella up and promises her that she would bring her to a quiet and peaceful place. First she goes to Venus which is too hot and then Mercury which is too cold and then she leaves her in space and Matariki Saves her.

Create task 1 

So for the first task we had to go and create a Google doc, on that Google doc we would write a script for a Google video. So the script is about an interview between the reporter and the author of the book you’re using for reading. You are pretending that the book you are using for reading is a new book and the author is releasing it to public. You can then go to a Google video and record yourself being an author and an interviewer. You can do this in a buddy, this is done in a video. You can then download it or export it.

Here is my video!

Create task 2

For the second task we had to do a ten year task on a Google Doc, so first we had to create the Google Doc and then do the task. So for the task we had to go and pretend you are one of the characters and that you have to pretend that it’s been ten years since the incident, or what ever incident happened in your story. So we had to write this from the character you chose. So after that we could blog it.

Here is my ten years thing!

Create task 3

For the third task we had to go and summarise the story on a Google Drawing, so first we had to go and summarise the story in six boxes and then add pictures to see what had been described in the summary. So we had to make it very descriptive and put hard work into it.

Create task 4

For the fourth task we had to create an escape room on a Google form. So first we had to create the Google room, then name it and move it to your reading folder. Next we had to go and write what happened at the beginning, then ask a question that would lead you to a wrong path and a correct path. So next we had to go and create the bad path and the correct path. This might be hard and you might need to write a lot but after that you can go and publish it!

Here is my Escape Room!

Create task 5

For the fifth task we had to go and make a copy of a movie picture screen on Adobe Express. So first we had to generate an Image that would make a good movie title to use. This is pretending to make our book into a movie. So after doing the picture, we write the title and do the release date. It might be hard to get the right picture using Generate a Image!

Here is my Movie Title!

Hey bloggers today we have been doing and working on a google video, we have done this because four special students from our school have made this for us. They have made us do this very fun activity. Anyway for the google video we had to make a commercial. For the Commercial we had to make it about something. The choices were up on the projector and I chose the instant moustache spray. This might sound weird but it was fun to make a commercial about it, so for this on the first slide we had to write the title. For the second slide we had to go and write about the description and why it is so good. And on the third, the lucky last we could go and write buy it now for a price you get to chose.

Here is my Instant Moustache Spray Commercial!

Bye bye bloggers I hope you like the commercial and don’t forget to comment!

For the first task we had to write a Vocabulary Explorer Task, We had to go and create the week five reading slides. We had to name it and move it to our reading folder. First we had to go and grab our book and with our book we had to skim and scan the book to find a word we don’t know. Second we had to write the word down and write what we think it means and the sentence we found the word in, this is the clue from the book to help us find out what the word means. Lastly we had to go on to the dictionary link and go search up the meaning of the word, in the next box we had to write the dictionary answer and go and create our own sentence. We could go and do this ten more times before finishing the task.

I enjoyed this task and it was fun to do, it took some time to go and find the meaning and write our own sentences. Even though it took a while, I learnt the meaning of lots of words, ten words! Anyway I had fun and if you did this task I hope you enjoyed it.

Here is my Vocabulary Explorer Task!

Create task 2

For the second task we had to create a quiz, we had to go on the student slides and go and click on the link that says quiz master. Once we had entered it we had to go and name it and move it to my reading folder. We then had to go and get the book and find a question you can ask for the quiz. Once you find the question you can go and write it down and write an A and B answer, you can write which one is correct on the next page, we could then go and do this ten more times. We could write nine more questions and write the A and B and then write the answer on the next page. Also don’t forget that the answers should be in full sentences.

I enjoyed this task because we could write questions and write answers. It was really fun to do this quiz master task because it was easy to do but hard to find questions. I got stuck on finding the last two questions for my story.

Here is my quiz master task!

Create task 3

For the third task we had to do a Venn diagram, for this task we had to go on to the link on the student slides and then name it and go and move it to our reading folder. We then had to go choose two characters and then go and write what they do and are and write what they both have in the middle. We are basically comparing these characters. I chose Minnie and Doctor Wagener. We had to write quite a bit and write quite a bit in what they both have. This was fun.

I had fun doing this task and it was pretty hard to find out what they both have and what they have to compare.

Here is my Venn Diagram!
