Our virtual 9M whare

Wednesday the 4th of September Whaea Kerry, Whaea Monika and Tara came to Bay of Islands College from the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. They came to school with their equipment to help us finish our  Heritage posters. Using the virtual world programme Whaea Kerry was starting to make our Marae to represent the people in our class. Some of the things we made were Pou and our Pepeha, once we were finished a few people got jobs to make trees, decks and Taumata along with other things that are found on the Marae. 

I thought the day was very interesting, and a great help to us for getting our posters finished.

Waitangi trip

13/08/19
Yesterday our class 9M went back to the Waitangi treaty grounds to work on our posters. We had a choice of apps to use including Skulpt GL, Paint 3D, Tinkercad and a few more. I chose to use Skulpt GL to try and recreate a waka to include in my poster. Later around 1PM  we packed up the computers and headed up to the whare where we were going to watch a kapahaka performance, the performance was around half an hour long. After the culture performance we headed down to see the wakas, most people wanted to see Ngatokimatawhaora, down by the wakas was also a big Kauri stump which was around eight hundred years old. That kauri stump had been used on a waka back in the earlier centuries.

The different types of writing like informal and formal, formal will be used for talking to teachers, other students and getting jobs. Where as informal is mostly used for friends and family. There are differences that we need to understand and recognise
