Today we explored what were quality blog comments. we looked to see if they had a greeting and something positive specific. I also learned how to move labels and flip horizontally.
We have been talking about our whanau. This means family in te reo Maori. We saw an artist called Reuben Paterson who makes art using koru patterns. I made my family using four koru because one is my nana, one is my mum and then there is my sister, Alyvia and me. I liked adding the glitter on top of the wax crayon.
Today, we learnt how to add a helpful and thoughtful comment to a blog post reply. A helpful tip is to have a buddy read and listen to our comments. Some of the skills we used today, were arrange to the back, rotate and move our arrows into position.
Today, I learnt how to use Google maps to find my buddy school and I learnt how to resize my canvas on Google draw. I learnt that St Joseph’s is close to a scenic reserve. My tip is to move your fingers slowly across the touch pad when zooming in or out. I could even write labels for the things I can see on the map. It’s called to annotate.
In April the Matariki stars are gone and in June they come back. We can see the stars early in the morning when the sun comes up. Matariki is Maori New Year when they think of their plans for the next year.
There are nine stars in the cluster and we decided to make kites like the book we read. I cut my brown bag into two and then I painted one half green and the other one I made Maori patterns. It was so fun when I got to paint them and put them outside to dry.
The next day was a challenge because we had to weave the strips together and I was getting confused but then I managed to get it looking good in the end.
Finally we braided three colour of twine to make the tail. Then Mrs Yumul glued gunned a feather and some fern branches onto the bottom
Happy Matariki everyone. 
Yesterday I made a matariki star during cybersmart using diamonds and duplicating rotating and the gradient tool.
We made custom colors while using the gradient tool.
today in cybersmart I learned using colours and arrange ,rotate
Today I made a rocket using shapes and different colours and shapes. I was able to turn it on its side so that it looks like it is flying through space. The cloud underneath it is pretty cool too. It was good because I learned how to add a background colour too.
My Matariki landscape I made using polylines and different colours.
Torty was lucky because she was hibernating one day she was under some leaves and the leaves started to burn but she escaped. She was living with Stewart, the man she met during World War 1. They had a good friendship.
This is my drawing of Torty.
