I am a year 6 student at St. Pius X Catholic School in Auckland, New Zealand. I am at the Te Wairua Pakiki 6 Learning Space. My teachers are Ms Nees-Kairua and Mrs Tui.
Today in class I did the Where is Mangahouanga Stream activity we basally had to add a picture of where is mangahouanga Stream and what was found in Mangahouanga Stream.
Something I found easy was adding in all the picture in.
Something I found hard was finding out why it was famous
Today on the 14th of April, we were supposed to play Ki O Rahi but, when we had gotten there it started to rain very hard so then they people who hosted it said they will moved the tournament to next term, so then we went back to class and we watched a video about How Maui Slowed The Sun.
After we watched the video we had to weave a piece of paper then our teacher would give us a section of the video and then we had to draw that onto our piece of paper, after we finished our drawing we had to go over it with a black vivid. Then on a strip of paper we had to write our part out, my part was "Long ago,Te Ra the Sun began to move quickly across the sky".
Maui slowed the sun by plating a long piece of flax into a rope with his brother's then they we to his pit where he rose from and then threw the ropes on him and made him go across the sky slower.
Maui want to so down the sun so they can finish things in one days
Maui's friends laughed at him when he wanted to slow down the sun so he can finish things in one day.
Maui wanted to approach the sun at night so that the sun wouldn't see them.
I think that this story is a myth.
I think it was fair that Maui was forcing the sun to slow down .
Today I learnt about cocoa beans and how and when they used to be money back in the old days. The reason I am learning about cocoa currency because a Company (PWC Flip) our class and TWP 8 and taught us aout how to use money and save it

Sauropods are dinosaur's who are herbivores. A herbivore is an animal that gets its energy from eating plants, and only plants. Sauropods have long necks small heads and it is very big. I could not think of some words so I looked at Sione's Blog.
Something was easy was colouring all the words and putting the picture there.
Something that was hard was thinking of words to put on.
Today on the 8th of April I did the 9th Cyber smart challenge called Charging my Chromebook and I had to open a jam board and make a copy but it didn't let me make a copy so I had to screen shot it then answer it on a google drawing then after I finished that I had to take a photo of my Chromebook charging but my charger was at the back of my Chromebook so I took a photo of my friend Melenaite's Chromebook charging then I used her photo.
Something that was nice and easy was taking a photo of my friends Chromebook charging
Something that was that was hard and took a long time was doing the matching activity because I had one of the old Chromebooks and the photo was a new Chromebook.
Today I did Cyber Smart challenge 8. This Challenge was about animation and we had to do a animation of a boat sailing away. Something I found interesting was doing this challenge because I have never done a animation. Here Is My Work!
