Sunrise Point

Hi there, I am about to tell you about the hike that I did two days ago. The hike two days ago was at the Olympic National Park near Port Angeles in Washington State, America. The name of the hike was the Switchback Trail to Kalhane Ridge and Sunrise Point. It was a magical experience for me. First we walked up the steep Switchback Trail to the mountain ridge. When we got to the ridge line some mountain goats followed us along the trail. The ridge line trail was very narrow and steep, so we had to walk single file. Then we walked along the ridge toward Sunrise Point. There were beautiful wildflowers all different colours such as pink, orange, yellow, violet, indigo, red, blue, purple, soft pink and peach. On the way, we stopped to take photos with the Olympic Mountains in the background on one side of us and a view into Canada on the other side of us. We stopped for lunch on a hill not that far away from Sunrise Point but the view was spectacular so I wondered how much better the view could be from the top. For lunch mum, dad and Nathan had PB and J sandwiches and cheese, crackers, strawberries and Oreos, whereas I only had cheese, crackers, strawberries and Oreos. After lunch we made our way to Sunrise point. The view from the top was amazingly spectacular--you wouldn't even know how mind blowing and beautiful it was.

After that at 9 pm we went down to the downtown area to see the fireworks for the 4 of July ( America's Independence Day). As the fireworks exploded in the sky you could see many beautiful colours of red, white, blue, purple, gold, silver, orange, green and many more amazing colours. Over all, it was an extraordinary day full of excitement and experience. Bye--and see you next time!

                                                                                                   

          

Mount Ellinor Trail

Hi again, I am in America for a holiday over school break. The place that I am in in America is Washington State. Two days ago me and my family went on a hike up a mountain called Mount Ellinor 

Trail. The hike is in the Olympic National Forest. We only did half of the hike though. What we did is we drove half way up the mountain and then hiked the rest of the way up. We hiked 1 and a half miles up to the top, witch was 2400 feet in elevation gain. On the way up there was snow! Lots and lots of snow!

Dad took a photo of me and my brother Nathan on a rock in the middle of a huge spot of snow.The views from half way up were spectacular so I couldn't wait to see view from the top. When ever we saw someone coming down from the top we asked them if they if they had seen any mountain goats. Everybody we asked said that they had seen them and I couldn't wait to see them my self. As we walk further up the trail the more snow we saw. Eventually we reached the spot where the mountain goats were. We saw a lot of adult goats but there was one baby goat. It was so cute and fluffy. There was a lookout near where the goats were. To get to the lookout we had to cross a giant snow field. For lunch we had cheese, crackers, strawberries and raspberries. When we got down from the rock that we had lunch on dad got trapped because the goats wanted to go on the rock that we were on. He had to wait for them to pass until he could come down. On the way to the top me mum and Nathan played " I went to the shop and I bought".... . When we got to the top we saw chipmunks and me and a goat had a starring competition. The views were amazing more than amazing not even the best of words can describe how mind blowing and beautiful it was from up there.

There's A Monster In My Bedroom

This is my Storybird for " There's a Monster in my Bedroom"  The way that Storybird works is that you can make poems, picture books and chapter books. Every week Koka Ngaire gives us a set task to make poem or a picture book. For the poems she gives us set words to make the poem out of. I hope you enjoy my poem.

Be Cyber Smart

Be Smart Online

Hi it's Miriam here, today I'm going to tell you about being cyber smart. The reason you have to be cyber smart is that if you tell somebody personal information then they can track you down. You also might not know who is reading what you write. Another thing is that if you are getting bullied by somebody online it is called cyber bullying. If this happens then tell an adult straight away. If you are a kid who want any social media apps and your mom or dad say no, it's to protect you of cyber bullying or sharing personal information. Also everything you post on social media sticks with you forever. Even if you try to hide it from people the world can still see it. That is called a digital footprint. It sticks with you forever. So BE SMART ONLINE!!! 

This is my Cyber Smart Poster

Kawa Of Care

Kawa Of Care is about taking care of your chromebook. I am here to tell you how to take care of your chromebook. At the end of the day you need to shut all of your tabs and sign out. The reason we sign out  of our chromebooks is that the next day when you go to use your chromebook is that it will take a long time to load. Also you should not eat or drink around the chromebooks. The reason you should not eat or drink around the chromebooks is that if you spill anything on it, it would make our chromebooks dirty. You also should not hold the chromebook by the screen because the screen could break away from the chromebook.

Tryout Timetables

Sign Up For Workshops 

Hi again. Today I'm going to tell you about our timetables. To fill in our timetable we need to sign up for workshops. I am guessing that you are wondering how we sign up for workshops so I am going to tell you how. The way we sign up for workshops is that on Sunday afternoon our teachers, Matua Fergus and Koka Ngaire send a google form into our mail for us to sign up with.

Organising My Timetable

On Monday mornings I sign up for my workshops then write them into my timetable. The way that I sign up for my workshops is that I go into my mail and click on a google form that my teachers sent me and choose the workshops. Now you may be wondering where I get my timetable and what I do while I am not at a workshop, well I am going to tell you the answers to those questions but first let me tell you more about my timetable. On my timetable the day is broken up into 30 minute time slots. Next to each time slot there are boxes for you to write your activities into. But before we get into how to fill in the timetables you need to find your name so that you can fill in the right boxes. Now I am going to tell you what I do when I am not in a workshop. When I am not in a workshop I do things like Quick write, Read to self, Work on writing, Work on maths and listen to reading.   These are our links to learning. We find the links to learning on the Moana Learning Hub. You can choose which things you want to do and when you do them but we have to do all of the activities at least once a week. 
Moving onto how I get to my timetable. The way I get my timetable is that I go onto the Moana Learning Hub. Then once I get onto the Moana Learning Hub I go to the home page and go to a picture that looks like a clock. I click on the clock and then it takes me to the timetable. I am now done telling you about our AWESOME timetables so see you next time.

This is what my timetable looks like.
