We have been learning to make a digital life in google video.
My favourite tool in google videos is transition it makes the slides look more captivating and it has different types of transitions you could use.
when creating a Google video I recommend you use the music audio that you can find in stock and web because it can make your slides more interesting.
This week we are learning about llamas and gettinng information and retell it in less words. This activity is used for reading which was super fun because we learnt diffrent ways of learning and learning about animals is fun. First we had to write in our books about Llamas. After that, I went on Google drive and made a Google drawing, When we were finished I decorated it to be fabulous and creative. Then I made a Google slide ( also from Google drive) about the products used from Llamas hair. I added pictures and put it in remove BG which is a website that removes the background. Then, I did the information and font to decorate. This experience was fun and I felt joyful and I enjoyed doing this activity. Finally I blogged. I hope you guys will like it to!
Here is a video of LS1 and LS2 performing a siva to a medley of Samoan songs by Wayno. We had lots of fun learning the meanings behind the different actions and lyrics in the song. Thanks to Mrs Anderson for recording our siva.
As part of our Inquiry focus on “Cultures”, LS1 has explored the art and measina of ‘tatau’ in the Samoan culture. We learnt specifically about Samoan malofie – which is mostly to do with the male pe’a, and the female tattoo the malu. LS1 was quite interested in the legend of how the tatau came to be in Samoa today. We analysed and translated the song ‘Pese O Le Tatau’ by Junior Soqeta in poetry, then each chose a line to illustrate for art. Our illustrations were then put together in the movie below. Enjoy!
Amorangi and Valencia have worked hard to present to you : Episode 1 of LS1’s “Read Some Books”! In this episode, the girls have a korero about “The Universe’s Greatest School Jokes and Rip-Roaring Riddles” written by Artie Bennett. Have a listen to see what the book is about. Thank you Sila for your photography.

This week, Group Hau’ofa focused on comparing texts to find similarities and differences, as well as using ideas from both texts to create something new. We started by reading a book titled The Way to Play! After discussing the book as a group, we dived into creating a collaborative slide.
Our task was to compare the playground in The Way to Play! with our own school’s playground, looking at similarities and differences in the equipment, layout, and how kids use them. To wrap it up, we designed a poster showcasing our playground, complete with a drawing or diagram to illustrate it.
For Uike Kātoanga’i ‘o e lea faka-Tonga, LS1 had our own Tongan Language Week assembly. We have been busy researching our different topics about the Kingdom and culture of Tonga. Our work was displayed in the hall as we presented to each other, and sang Tongan songs to celebrate Tongan Language Week. A few of our boys came to school in their traditional Tongan attire, to share their expertise with us. It was a wonderful day of celebrating the Tongan culture. We even got to create our own kiekie in the afternoon, after learning about it from Maunaloa, Easton & Eneasi’s research project.
We have included a video of our assembly aswell as the slideshow of our combined research. Enjoy!

This week, LS1 has been learning about Cook Islands Language Week. We had two tasks to complete related to Cook Islands Language Week. Our first task was to research the Cook Islands.
We had multiple choices; everyone had a different topic. Most people chose sayings and phrases, but for our task, we had to present it on Google Slides, which required ten slides as specified by our teacher.
It was a challenge, but everyone tried their hardest. Each presentation was well-crafted and unique. It was often difficult to find research on our topics.
Our second task involved creating a tivaevae, a cotton bedspread made by Cook Island women. Tivaevae feature flower and insect patterns in two different colors. They are made very carefully and are incredibly beautiful.
While tīvaevae serve a practical purpose, they are also used as decorations and, more importantly, are presented as gifts at significant occasions such as weddings, funerals, pakoti’anga rauru (boy’s hair cutting ceremonies), receptions for church ministers, and, among New Zealand Cook Islanders, 21st birthday parties.
LI : Use our smart searching skills.
As a class, we worked together to research and discuss the origins of the Olympic Games. We were then challenged to present our information to the rest of the class. Here is our work.
