I Am Hope, Treasure Hunt

 Hello it’s Dezray here from Paihia School, I am a year 7 and have just finished a treasure hunt it took  awhile for it to get started so me and my class just waited for the rules. When it started the whole class just ran to the back field and the sandpit, I paired up with my friend Chum Chum and he got one prize, an ice cream pie. There were 15 prizes to be won, my other friend Stilly won 3 prizes. This was a fundraiser for “I am Hope” they have made over $7,000 so far and they help kids going through depression and mental health. I was not very happy because I got nothing I was a bit sad, but it’s just a game. Please comment on my blog and give me feedback or feed forward. Have you ever had a fundraiser at your school?

Things You Need To Know About Germs

 Hello my name is Dezray and I'm a year 7 at Paihia School. This week in Te Ngahere we have been practicing social distancing, in the morning we went to the whare. Everyone thought it was level 1 because we normally go there at level 1. Soon as we got there we got told to be a meter a part and to pretend everyone had coronavirus me and my friends thought it was a joke until we went back to class and watched a video and how germs travel and need a host subjects and then multiply. I have really learnt a lesson today about germs and how they evolved.

Art

For the past week we have being doing poupou art (Maori art). We had to start with the head then body. The parts that I struggled with was the hands and legs because I’m not that good at art. Most people would think that the head would be the hardest but for me it was pretty easy. I don’t know what colors to use I haven’t finished yet but I will be very happy when it is. Please tell me if I have done anything wrong.

This week in Te Ngahere we had to do a DLO (digital learning object) We had to include how we did it and why.

At first it was hard but the more I tried it became easier. Here is a screencastify showing you an example. Did you learn anything from my screencastify.
