Maori technology padlet

We read this text and made a padlet about what we learned

Smart shoes

Today my teacher showed us a picture of a shoe. I think it either looks likes a metal detecting shoe or a exercising shoe, i think it looks like a metal detector because at the front of the shoe there is something that looks like a button but it might be the bit that detects the metal, i think it might be a exercising shoe because on the side of the shoe there is a part that is orange and i think the orange part is the part that makes you exercise. I think it is made out of rubber, cotton and metal.


I think if it is a exercising shoe then it will help people get more fit and be like usain bolt. If it is a metal detector then when you find things then you can build things. Also if you find things like cups or fishing nets you can use them either outside or inside.


When i thought it was and exercising shoe or a metal detecting shoe, i was totally wrong. It turns out that it was actually a smart shoe. Smart shoes have a automatic tightener, Smart shoes also have a smart heater which makes your feet warm, Smart shoes have lots more interesting facts about them but there is just too much.


I think it is a really good idea because it is so useful. If i saw them in a shop i would most likely buy them. I would like these fantastic shoes to be able to make these make you run fast.

Now that's thinking assembly

Now that's thinking assembly

Last week on monday we had a immersion assembly. When we got to assembly we did our karakia and then our principal Mr Burt. Then our principal showed us our movies that our teachers made in the hollidays.

The first movie we watched was team 1 which did a movie about kites. In the movie the teachers were bored so they made kites. When they made the kites there was no wind so they waited at school all day and fell asleep.

They all dreamed of there kites flying high in the sky. When they woke up there was wind. They got there kites and flew them high in the sky so everyone could see them.

There were 5 movies so i could only do 2. The 2 movie is our team's movie were our teachers talked about how things have changed over the years. I think we are learning about how things have changed why things have changed over the years.

There was allot more in the assembly but i think i will just share a bit of it with you.

On Sunday me and my family went to Whangateau holiday park which is north of Auckland. When we got there at 2.00 p.m, we put all our things in our cabin and then me and my brother went to play. After a while, me and my brother had met some kids and played on the new trampoline and played with nerf guns.

Then me and my brother had to go to bed.

After we looked at all the schools work we saw our schools kapa haka group perform. After they finished we headed back to school to have a fun day.

Letter to Mr Burt

Dear Mr Burt,

I have read a bit about the harakeke and I really like what is does. I have heard that Maui a maori legend was the person who name this plant harakeke.

Harakeke is a big help to the world. Harakeke also known as flax can help animals such as Flax snails a rare snail that live only live on the far north. Flax can help Flax snails by making shelter for the Flax snails.

Flax can also be a big help to Tui, bellbirds/korimako, saddlebacks/ tieke, short tailed bats/pekapeka, geckos and several types of insects by letting them eat the nectar from the flax flower. If we get flax it will bring so much more happiness to Pt england by making kid be happy seeing all the animals that flax attracts, taking pictures of the flax and putting it on there blog, and letting teachers teach their students about flax and all the animals. Please get flax Mr burt.
