My Netbook Reflection

Hi, My name is Levi.R, I am a year 5 student at Glenbrae School and I am in Room 9. My Teacher is Mr. D. Nath. This year was an exciting and fantastic experience for me because I started using a Chromebook and playing with my friends.

It was an amazing and fascinating year using the new technology instead of using books to write in, but it took me some time to really start using the next generation tech effectively for work and discovering new things. There are so many things to learn about the next generation tech and tried my best to learn as much as I could from my teacher Mr.D.Nath , whanau and friends. Thank you to all those that supported me.

These are my reflections on what I did on the Chromebooks this year.

I have learnt how to use chromebook for my blogging, social skills and to do a lot of work starting from term 1. I have helped my friends in class spell, answer math problems and I helped them out with reading.

I  am able to think about the multiple topics I am going to research on and write questions, using gmail and sharing my work on the blog, read more online books, stories and articles while looking for information , deciding which sites are safe for me to access and use information from, sharing my learning on my blog and class blog.

Taste Buds

WALT Create acrostic poems

The taste on your tongue when you eat something yum

Always helping you with the joy of the day just keep on eating no matter what they say

Sweet heat makes you blush all day long no matter what!  

Tasting everything in your sight don’t eat too much or you might have your doubts  

Eating healthy every day of the year don’t eat your sprouts or you might have your doubts

Biting your food will help you taste come on and bite again

Uses a lot of saliva to taste

Drives you crazy when you eat something sour

Sour power makes you crazy eat something sweet when you've gone too crazy

A Article Review on A Passion For Ponies by Donna Cherry

A Passion For Ponies by Donna Cherry.

WALT:  review the story we read

This article is about a girl named Chelsea who loved her pony named Teddy. After school Chelsea ran home quickly so she could groom and play with Teddy. Chelsea had a friend named Sarah and she had a pony too. They would play together a lot and groom their ponies together.

Sarah also helped Chelsea groom her pony. Chelsea and Sarah also cleaned up their ponies droppings which looked like small mountains. Sarah loved her pony as much as Chelsea loved Teddy. At the end of the day Chelsea put a warm coat on Teddy so he could be warm and toasty.

If I had a pony I would do the same things that Chelsea and Sarah did I would be as dedicated as they were. I liked the bit about the droppings. It was really funny.

My story review of Mihina-a-rangi's perfume

Title:Mahina-a-rangi’s Perfume

Author:Rawiri Piripi

Illustrator:Damon Keen

WALT review stories we read.

This story is a love story of Turongo and Mahina-a-rangi. It talks about Turongo’s life. The story is about Mahina-a-rangi and other girls stricken by Turongo’s looks. Many of the men admired Turongo’s hunting and planting skills and the fact that he was very skilled in multiple genres. Mahina-a-rangi attracted Turongo by her scent, or maybe it was because of her self-confidence and witty conversation that she got Turongo to fall in love with her..

I liked this story because it’s a love story and also it is interesting in multiple levels.
