Learning Through Play T2 W4

Last tuesday we did ltp, and I went to woodburning. But this time, I brought wood knives ( I had a kit to carry them of course or my bag would be ruined), when we sat down, I quickly put my wood knife kit on a table then sat down. Koka Jo told everyone the rules and who was going to use the woodburners first and she also mentioned how I brought some wood knives and I told everyone very specifically that you had to ask before use them, second, Make the tip face the way a soft foam piece in the kit so the kit doesn't get scratched. Last, you had to use one at a time and put them in the kit, not on the table.

Before we even started people started asking, I said yes and I sat down at a table people started surrounding me so I just said only a few people at a time. I started by getting a flat one so I could scrape all the extra pieces of wood off and make my driftwood more clean looking, also some people were not doing what I told them, they were not placing my wood knives on the foam side so I decided to give each person 3 warnings and if they break the rules to many times they would restricted to use them(I said that only to scare them I wouldn't actually do that).

 My wood knives came in all shapes and sizes(they didn't come in all shapes and sizes but I still had ten to choose from). when we had to pack up, I rounded up everyone who use the wood knives and told them to come help pick up the small pieces of shaved wood and put them away. When everyone finally came, hunter had already cleaned the table.

Little Blue Penguin Forms

A few weeks ago, MLH went around moana road and douglas. We went around putting forms in peoples mailboxes so we could find out if they had seen any little blue penguins, where they spotted them and when they saw them. We went into three group and went through douglas and moana road continuously sliding them in the mailboxes, we had two forms each that we had to hand out and when we ran out Koka Ngaire gave us Two more. But soon we ran out and couldn't give any more forms, so we decided to head back to school. It was pretty fun going out and putting forms in mailboxes, I even got to go past my parents store (which is the okitu store).

most of the people signed the form (except the people who didn't get one because we never did another walk) so we got a ton of forms that someone had to check.

Interland

 This week we were digi digging and were learning to keep safe online by playing interland. Its a game about learning to keep safe online, stopping cyberbullies, being kind online, have a strong password that hackers won't be able to unlock to keep your personal information secure and not falling for scams that are too good to be true. We had to be in a group with our blogging buddies so I was in a group with Lola, we went into kind kingdom, where bullies were sending bad messages to other people, so we had to give them good comments and we had to jump from one floating island to another and if we made enough people happy, a pole with a platform would come up and you could jump from it to the floating island that was unreachable.

Their were also other places called Mindful Mountain,Tower of Treasure, Reality River and Kind Kingdom which I've already mentioned. But we had to do Kind kingdom because Koka Ngaire said we have to, and there were also microphones that you could use to report bullies and remove them, there were also traps that you had to use to trap the bullies, some said "No fair." and "Keep you kindness to yourself." It took quite a while to get to the end but there was more questions, we had to fill in the sentences to make the sentences full and also not make them bad. At the end, there was an enormous bully that you had to turn into a good person, by making everyone happy and them sharing their happiness with the bully to make him happy and to make him stop bullying. When we finished we had to do a flipgrid on what we learnt, I recommend other people play this game so they can learn how to be better online.

How to carry your chromebook posters

On Tuesday, 2021 term 2 week 1, we did a big think poster on how to carry your chromebook and how to stay cybersmart on it, but you could only choose one. I chose how to carry your chromebook, and you also had to do it with a partner, so I teamed up with Taimana and we came up with a simple but great idea (you will find out later in this blog). Most people did how to carry a chromebook and I didn't know if our idea would be good but it was pretty straightforward, our poster said "Forklift hold, is the right way to hold."

There was a picture of me, forklift holding my chromebook and also a forklift next to me. When we took it to Koka Ngaire she said it was great and she even printed it out! But ours wasn't the best it was Momo and Cash's poster, on their poster I saw a big picture of Momo doing the forklift carry. But ours was still an honourable mention. Altogether there were five posters that were printed including our poster, now they are in our classes, to remind us how we should carry our chromebooks and how to stay cybersmart on them.
