Thank you for reading my blog post if you have created a hat description then you can share it with me in the comment section. What can I improve on next time you can tell me in the comments.

The Digital Ignition program

 Namaste Bloggers 

Today I will be sharing my experience of doing the Digital Ignition program this morning. This morning we had Jess from the Digital Ignition program. I learnt that there is a site called Makers Empire. Today we played a game called match the old tech to the new tech. Then  we did Makers Empire which I mentioned before. Makers Empire is like Tinker cad. While one person from our group did Makers Empire, the other people played with a Bee-Bot ( which helps you with programming directions ). Last of all we learnt ( I already knew ) input, output, process and storage.

 I think that we should get Makers Empires because most people like it and it's easier  to use than Tinker cad.

My favorite part of today was when we got to use the Bee-bots, because we got to program where they went and how they went there.

These are some photo's of what we did

Thank you for reading my blog post. If you have any question then you can ask me in the comments.

Museum Trip

 Namaste Bloggers

Today I will be telling you about me and my classes trip to The Auckland War Memorial Museum. At 10:00 am we saw the buses arrive. On the way to the museum some of the students in our class started to sing weird songs ( that really annoyed me ). When we got to the museum we were separated into groups of 6-7 people and an adult. My favorite part of the museum was the volcano room. One of the things that I learnt, was that in the war they had grenade crossbows ( and yes I'm not joking! ). One question that I had was why they had such a tiny Egyptian exhibition. After lunch, we walked down to the winter gardens. 

This is a image of us there.

  

Overall, this was an amazing experience. You can share you experience in the comments. Bye.

Beeswax Wraps

Namaste Bloggers 

My class is learning why we should stop using single use plastic, we should stop using single use plastic because it is harming our environment. We made beeswax wraps because it is one of the only ways to reduce single use plastic. Here are some instructions of how to make some beeswax wraps.

How to make Beeswax wraps

What you’ll need 

• 100% cotton fabric 
• Pinking shears 
• Beeswax pellets 
• Baking paper 
• Iron
• Old towel 
• Cardboard (optional)

Method

1. Choose a fabric that is 100% cotton.
2. Cut the 100% cotton fabric with your pinking shears, and measure it so it is 30cm by 30cm.
3. Place the cardboard,on the table then lay down an old cloth then continue with the steps  (cardboard is optional).
4. Lay down your 100% cotton fabric on your baking paper.
5. Sprinkle a handful of your beeswax pellets on your fabric and make sure you do this evenly throughout the whole fabric.
6. Put another piece of baking paper on top of the fabric. 
7. Grab your iron (call an adult if you are a kid or if you need to) slowly go over your fabric and make sure that all the beeswax is  melted.
8. Peel off your fabric from the baking paper (be careful) and shake it gently until it has cooled down, now you have a beeswax wrap. 

Here is a photo of me with my beeswax wrap

Who discovered Aotearoa?

Well Captain James Cook sighted New Zealand on 6th October 1769 and landed at Poverty bay two days later. He drew a detailed and accurate maps of the country and wrote about the Moari people. 

However many people believe that Kupe was the first person to step foot in Aotearoa. Some people think that the name of Aotearoa came from Kupe's wife (in some versions, his daughter)  was watching  the horizon and called "He ao! He also navigated from Hawaiki to Aotearoa useing the stars, sun and ocean swells.

Summer Learning Journey activity 1

Namaste bloggers,

This week I am starting Summer Learning Journey for this first time, sorry for how late I was for this blog post. Anyways lets get started with this adventure.

Setting Sail And Exploring The World

How did Polynesian navigators travel the pacific ocean with the stars, sun and ocean swells? 

Traditionally Polynesian navigators used stars to help navigate where they were going. They used a device called a star compass, a star compass is used to help memorize the rising points and setting points of the brightest and most distinctive stars and planets to set direction. The ability to read the sky is a great skill to have especially in the olden days. The pattern's of the stars and rhythms of the ocean guided them by night and the colour of sky and sun, shapes of clouds, and the direction from which the swells were coming guided them by day. 

                           Who was the first person to figure out how to navigate with stars? 

The first person to figure out how to read the stars was Thomas Hubbard Sumner. Thomas discovered  (the later so called) line of position or circle of equal altitude, he (Thomas) named "parallel  of equal altitude" on a voyage form South Carolina to Scotland  in 1837.

Beach descriptive writing

Namaste bloggers

 Today I will be sharing some descriptive writing about the beach
with you

Beach description 

As the blazing sun stalks the people on the beach,
the seagulls ravage the fallen food. The children pester their
parents and whine for ice cream and candy floss.
Toddlers are amazed when they saw Vitaraag skydiving from
Manukau bridge to the beach.

As the time passing everything gets withered, the mountain gets
withered which causes avalanches, and the pebbles get withered.
As the stars shone a shooting star crashed on the beach the
sand cried. When that happend the humans wished on that same
shooting star.

Shoals of colorful fish dart around the seagulls they get caught by
the hunters.
