SHARP!!!

Here is a video that I made as part of SHARP reading. I found it easy to create the video overall and I found this activity super fun. It was quite hard to always say the right thing. Next time I will try to make my video even better!

COVID - 19 reflection video

We were learning to create a COVID lockdown reflection video using WeVideo.
The most challenging part was getting the timing right on all of the videos so that they fitted correctly.
The easiest part was to record the videos using screencastify.
Next time I need to get the timing even more exact.

ANZAC Slideshow

 We were learning about the world war and how we are connected to ANZAC history. I found it easy to talk about what ANZAC day means to me and to research an ANZAC hero but I found it more difficult to find some other information like finding the challenges that they faced when landing. I really enjoyed learning about my relatives that served in the war, but next time I could maybe try to find even MORE information to make my paragraphs longer.

Digital Artifact

We were learning about using canvas to create a digital artifact. I found it easy to draw the background colours but more difficult to create the cross. I really enjoyed creating the whole thing but next time I could try to create a more detailed object instead of the cross.

ANZAC Animation

We were learning about creating an animation using google slides. I found it easy to polyline some of the objects, but others such as the people I found difficult. I really enjoyed creating the animation, but next time I will try to improve my polylining for some of the difficult objects.

About me

Hi! My name is Kya, I go to Gisborne Intermediate and I am a year 7.



We were learning about using polyline to draw ourselves, using screencastify, and much more useful skills. I found it easy to create the screencastify and write the about me.

I found it hard to use polyline to draw myself.I really enjoyed creating the whole about me poster. Next time I need to curve my name and put some more information in the paragraphs.

Cool Kapa Haka

Last Wednesday was the Kapa Haka festival! We had six songs and the Haka in our bracket - Tu Mai Ra, Ka Pioioi E, Purea Nei, Utaina, Haka, Wainui E and He Honore. The girls wore a piu piu, a moko on our chin and a feather in our hair. As we walked onto the stage everyone began cheering, our first song was Tu Mai Ra.

Next we sang Ka Pioioi E which is probably my favorite! Next was our Poi song - Purea Nei. After that it was Utaina in which all the girls moved back and the boys came forward to perform their Haka. The boys did their Haka next and then the girls moved forward with Wainui E.

As everyone got off the stage we sang He Honore. Overall I think we did really well and it was so fun!
