A good fit book is something that is not too hard, not too easy, like a Goldilocks thing. It is something that you don’t lose interest in because it is too short, or a book that swirls with hundreds of words per page. This is an activity about choosing the right book.
What is blackout poetry? You extract a piece of text (credit them), find words that join up to make sentences, and black out the rest. Here is my blackout poetry about cats.
This Cybersmart task taught us to use certain things in Google Drawings, such as word art, borders, and text boxes. I chose to make a wanted poster about my cat Lily. Here is the result. (Lily is actually a very good cat)
For an activity, our class made a Kākahu, a Maori cloak made from feathers. Every feather has a name, and what they like. For example, I am Phyu Sin, I like cats because they are cute.
A rebus uses letters, symbols, pictures, to try and form words and phrases. For example, horobod can be used to make the word Robinhood, or rob in hood.

This was my cultural create for the term. It is like a bandana from the Kayin state of Myanmar. I decided to make it because the bandana looked really pretty with all the strings. I used PVA glue, a piece of fabric, some beads, and red yarn.
Last week it was Fijian language week so some cool art was made in the week. FLW was last week but I wanted to show my art that I made. This pattern is like a ‘masi’ or a mat, with intricate and detailed patterns and colours.
Using the power of Google spreadsheets, I created a chart for an activity about surveying. It was about a principal that surveyed year 8 kids from another school to survey them about their options they would like to take next year. All of the year 8s could choose two options, so the total count is doubled.
After the Matariki Festival event we were given some fun tasks to do rather than resume the normal learning. These slides are Friday exclusive. There are eight tasks in total and I did need some help on it. After Friday is the weekends and this is a good way to end off the week days (except sports. )
There are no pictures for this blog post.
On Thursday, Selina, CC, and I hosted a station about making star spheres. I have blogged about star spheres before. many other people from the senior syndicate (Team Tui). Many people made their own stations that have different activities and things that you can buy.
Our activity was not promoted due to the poster being a false advertisement and claiming ‘free prizes to be won’ when we did not have the time to set up prizes other than cat pictures. The star sphere activity was simple, not too fancy or flashy. That meant not much people came to our station.
Most of my energy was wasted from the performance because everyone sat there for at least an hour. I then decided to visit other people’s stands and give them cat pictures. I bought some blondies (food) and some loom bands.
Next time I did this I would try to focus on LCS only and try to use my time at home. The star ball idea was a very good idea, but it wasn’t well executed as I thought it would be.
