Maori Lessons

This week for Maori we had Whaea Odie. First Whaea Odie read us a book which was called Paikea. The book was about how a brother who rode on a taniwha. His brother was jealous of riding the taniwha, so he killed his brother. The brother who killed his brother rode on the taniwha. His name was changed to Paikea, so it could match the name of the taniwha. Once we listened to the story we had to search Whangara School and Whakatane on google maps. Then we had to find out the distance between Whangara School and the sea. We also had to find out the distance between Whakatane and Whangara School. We had to use our smart searching skills to find out the information. Whakatane l is 212.6 km from Whangara School, and the sea is 509.7 km from Whangara School. After that we had to listen to a song called Paikea.

Smart Searching Skills

LI: To use keywords to search for information suitable for the purpose and reading level. This week for cybersmart we had to use our smart searching skills to search for information to complete one of the inquiry tasks. First we had to find out how venus fly traps show sensitivity. We did this with Mr. Wong. We had to get into our inquiry groups and write down keywords to find out how venus fly traps show sensitivity. We had to tell Mr. Wong the sites we found about the venus fly traps. Once we did that we had to make a DLO. I decided to make a google draw. For the google draw we had to take a screenshot of the search results and we also had to record the keywords.
