Netiquette [Cybersmart]

For the past few weeks in our class, we have been creating 'Netiquette' DLO's. It took a few weeks because of all the interruptions, with the end of the school year being close, in fact only a week away. Netiquette is how you behave online. The word is a merge of 'Net', as in Internet, and 'etiquette', or how you behave in general.

For the DLO, we had to create a character to explain netiquette. My one is 'Cybersmart Saphrina'. Her qualities are blue dipped red hair, green eyes, freckles, white T-shirt and blue denim jacket.

Tribes of Muriwhenua [Topic]

Last week, for topic we were creating a slideshow about the tribes of Muriwhenua, the tribes in Northland. I had found it easy to write about the colonisation of New Zealand, but I found it difficult sometimes to put the stories into my own words. I managed it in the end, though.

Do you like the stories of the tribes? If you do, what part do you like about it?

Stranger danger [reading]

Last week our class had been given safety magazines containing information about how to be safe around railways, water, dogs, bullies and roads. We then created posters, DLO's or dioramas about one of the items you should be safe around.

Legend animation [writing]

For writing this week we had to create a storybook or animation about a legend of one of the areas in the far north. I created an animation about Tokerau, and here it is.

Google Docs NINJA Challenge [Cyber smart]

Last week we started the 'Google Docs NINJA Challenge', and I completed it today. It has four stages, each with more difficult things to do. I found it difficult to find some tools, but only because they had different names! But I still had fun.

School Camp [Out-of-school Activities]

From the 30th of October to the 2nd of November most of our class were on camp. There were people working there and it was fun to learn about them. We had done things in 4 different groups, and 5 rotations. First I had done watersliding, then the next day we had done motorbiking, then raft building, then horseriding and on the second to last day, Thursday, we did the 'Mud run', and kayaking. I personally think that camp would be more satisfying for someone outdoorsy, but I still had fun even if I'm easier pictured indoors. Do you think you would have had fun there?

What I write [Writing]

For writing last week, our class made DLO's to upload to our blogs. I did a google slide about the sort of stuff I like to write about. Do you like writing the sort of things I write about?
