This week for writing we were learning about gender stereotyping. This is when you just think about as gender and you think they that are better then thee other gender at something. example: oh yea boys are definitely strong then girls. We learnt that stereotyping is bad and should not be a thing. We made posters showing that it is bad.
This week we have been writing a story from a video about a yellow umbrella. we also have been learning about perseverance, perseverance is about thinking about others.
here is a link to the video
On the 20th of May 2021 Tumu went to Margaret Mahy Family Playground. There were four activities, learning about the playground markings with Mrs Carney, seeing the mats around the playground and feeding the tuna with Mrs Bryce, riding the waka up and down the awa with Miss Hansen and we also went to Victoria Square with Mrs Brown.
My favourite part of the trip was riding the waka because I got soaked and also it was fun working as a team.
Something I learnt was that there is a whole story around Margaret Mahy and I didn't even know.
The thing I found the most interesting was that Victoria Square has heaps of art works made out of wood and stone.
This trip has helped me with my PBL because I learnt about the culture before me and the Māori. For PBL I am going to make a poster with a waka and a saying.
Have you ever been to Margret Mahy Playground?

This week for Independent writing we have been writing about the Maori myths, I did Maui and the big fish.
Maui said to his brothers’’ hey I want to go fishing with you guys’’, ‘’ no ‘’ said his brothers ‘’ you are too young and small’’. His brothers laughed. That night Maui wove himself a strong fishing line and the jaw bone his grandmother had given him, then he quietly snuck into his brother's waka and hid. That morning Maui woke to the sound of his brothers paddling through the water, he waited until the waka stopped and his brothers but there lines out then he sprung out of his hiding place and said ‘’ now i'll show you’’ he yelled as he threw his line overboard. All of a sudden the waka shook and Maui was surprised ‘’ can u help?’’ said Maui as he pulled and tucked. ‘’Wow’’ said Maui and his brothers as they stabbed the giant stingray.
do you know any other Maori myths?

This week for literacy we have been writing on what you need for a quality blog comment and post. In a blog you will need ,a catchy title, an introduction, your learning goal, 2 to 3 sentences explaining what you did and then you need a question to start a conversation with the viewers.
For a good blog comment you need to think about three things, positive, thoughtful, helpful. These three things will help you to make the perfect blog comment and if they have asked a question answer it. You could write something like: next time you could add..... or something like I liked the way you.....
What's your favourite thing about blogging?
