Cybersmart: Kawa of Care

We have been going over the Kawa of Care during our class Cybersmart Lessons. We are remembering how to look after our devices, so we have them for a long time. The Kawa of Care ensures that students will get the best use of their device and that schools and families understand how they can best care for the devices.  
We discussed being in the "Right Place Right Time Online" and how this looks both at school and at home.

Term 2 Week 1 Holiday Recount

This week we have been practicing our recount writing. 

We started off with Whaea Debb recounting something she did on her holiday in Queenstown. We discussed the orientation of a recount, having the 5 W's. We then worked on organising our ideas into paragraphs by sequencing the events. We followed this by adding a conclusion about how we felt. Then we reread the writing and worked on adding language features such as verbs, adverbs, and adjectives to make the writing more interesting for our reader.

Here are some of our recounts.
