Cultral walk through

First Room 7 went to Room 8 to find information about Iran. I learnt that people in Iran eat kebebs Houses are built out of of sticks and rocks.Then the bell rang and that told us we had to move to our next classroom - room 9.They were learning about Samoa. I learnt that they have a waka that a leader leads them and 1 other person drums with sticks and they all paddle in 1 direction. Samoan people wear lavalava's in their country.The capital city of Samoa is Apia.Then we went to Room 10 to learn about Niue. Niuean people used to make their clothes out of leaves .People in Niue eat coconut crabs and taro. Some people were saying mihi's in Niuean.Then room 7 went to room 1 and they were learning about Netherlands and they made bread and used sugar and cinnamon. It was delicious. I learnt how to make bread. We next went to room 2 and learned information about Tonga and we looked around the class and I saw a tauvala in a photo.We next went to Room 4 and then we played the drum and I whacked it hard and it was loud. Then the final bell rang and room 7 went back to class and it was morning tea.

Blogging and Breakfasts

I have been learning about writing good blog comments.We have been using helpful words on our comments and making sure our punctuation and spelling is correct. Our teacher had to check our comments to see if we managed to write a good comment or not. Like when I posted on Tamaki Intermediate's blog when they were having a breakfast I made a helpful comment to made them feel happy. I made a connection by sharing what I know about good breakfasts.
We have been sharing our learning with schools in Manaiakalani. We have tried to make a connection with our comments. I like it when I put thoughtful comments on blog posts because it makes a person feel proud of their learning. I really like doing good blog comments because if I do a good blog comment they will write something good that I have done on my blog. It helps me to learn more ideas than I had before.

Here is my comment from Tamaki Intermediate's blog.
