Modern Learning Environments - Bonus Activity

Hello Blogging world! Over the past years some schools have changed their classrooms either bigger or different learning. People had MLE which is short for Modern Learning Environment. My previous school made a different type of classroom but it was ILE which is short for Innovative Learning Environment. Some prefer MLE while some are still not sure. For this activity we had to design our own creative classroom and write why it is special and why we designed it this way.





This is my classroom. I use google drawings and took a screenshot and then used thing link to talk about my classroom. Just hover over the image and you will find these dots hover over them too and it will describe what you need to find out. This classroom is special because it is very colourful and makes kids want to learn even more! I designed it this way so that kids can have fun while learning. I hope you have enjoyed my classroom. I forgot to write that the seats were bean bags too, so that is my goal for next time! Please leave a comment if you like my class. Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

Migration - Activity 2

Hello Blogging world! Over the past decades, there has been a huge number of people coming to New Zealand to travel of even live. My family would have been one of those people too! In this activity we had to share our hometown (where we were born) and add a picture but remember to be cyber smart and don't add your address. We also had to list 3 things that tourists could do if they come to my hometown. So here is my hometown.

This is a link where I got my picture from, click here. My hometown was Waiuku/Pukekohe and I lived here for about 4 years and now moved to Auckland. 3 things you can do here as a tourist is go to the beach that is in Waiuku and go fishing. The 2nd thing to do is biking because there is a lot of mountains that you can bike on. The last things to do is if you are into horses you should go to Silver Fern Riding Stables.

If you are interested to go to Waiuku here is a map. I hope you have enjoyed this blog post! Please feel free to leave a comment about what your hometown is. Bye! Bye! Bogging world!

Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP) - Day 3

Hello Blogging world! In 1996, New Zealand adopted the MMP voting system. In September 2017 we had a national election. Only people the age of 18 and over were able to vote, the vote was so close and in the end. 3 different political parties came together and made their own government. It was called a ‘coalition government’ because it includes different people from different political parties. For this activity we had to imagine that we were in a coalition government with 2 other people. We had to choose 2 other people and say why is that your decision? Here is mine.

I would form a coalition with my friend Lily and my other friend Ashana. I chose Lily because she is very smart and she knows a lot of digital and coding stuff, she also is very funny and talkative. I also chose Ashana because she is good at problem solving, she is very helpful and kind.

Do you like my reasons? Well, who would you choose tell me in the comments! I hope you have enjoyed this blog post and learnt more about voting if you would like to know more about the MMP voting system click here! Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

Shake it off - Bonus activity

Hello Blogging world! In recent years, many New Zealanders have embraced a new form of exercise called Zumba. It was made by a man named Alberto Perez who lives in a country, Columbia. He created Zumba up by bringing together many different dance styles like: cumbia, mambo, hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, tango, merengue and mambo. We had to choose one of the dance styles and read more about it. We had to post 3 interesting facts about the chosen dance and what country was it originally from and who created it? I chose The Tango.

1. Tango is a partner dance so you can't dance by yourself.
2. Today there is many forms of Tango extant.
3. The Tango got created in the 1880s.

The dance was originally Argentina and Uruguay. Tango is a partner dance along the River Plata the dance soon started to spread. I hope you have learnt more about this type of dance. Please leave a comment about this dance! Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

Sporting Heros - Activity 2

Hello Blogging world! In 2015 a kiwi golfer named Lydia Ko became the youngest women to reach the #1 ranking. She was only 17 years old that time, many people admired her and said she was their idol. For this activity we had to share our favourite
sporting hero or either a famous athlete. Who are they and why are they a hero? I don't have much sporting heroes but I chose Valerie Adams.

She is a kiwi shot put player and she has played in the Olympic games and Commonwealth games too. She has been to many countries to compete and has won a lot of medals. Valerie is a sporting hero because she has been the dominant women's shot putter in the world since 2006.

Chasing Great - Day 2

Over the past 17 years New Zealand experienced a number of sporting highlights, perhaps none larger than the back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories in 2011 and 2015. In both competitions a our national rugby team the All Blacks, was captained by a man named "Richie McCaw." He is the all time best rugby player. A movie called "Chasing Great" recently created was about his incredible career.

For this activity we had to watch the trailer of Chasing Great and learn more about him online that we never knew. After watching and learning we had to list them. We also had to write what else we would like to find out.

Here are my facts,

1. He wants to take his team to places people have never been.
2. When he was little he wanted to become a great All Black player.
3. He exercises almost the whole day, like even at night!

This trailer seems so interesting and makes me want to watch the movie. Another thing I would like to learn more about Richie McCaw was when did he start being in the All Blacks team and when he started loving sports.
