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.

Netiquette in the class

Today we learnt about netiquette, netiquette is how we interact, talk and write to one another. 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
