Hi Bloggers today I had another Minecraft challenge. The whole Kea team had to recreate a famous structure/s in minecraft. We had a varoius display of options such as the leaning Tower, Great Wall of China, and so much more.
I made the Sky Tower located here in Auckland. It wasn't perfectly shaped because I forgot to watch the tutorial. It was hard to keep on re-shaping my build but it was easy to find the right combinations of blocks.
Here is the video of my structure. I hope you enjoy!
Hi Bloggers today we had a Garden To Table task! This task was to make a outdoor scavenger hunt or create your very own word search. I made mine on Google sheets. It was a bit hard to resize the coluns but at the end it was easy. So my challenge for you is to comment how many words you have found - there is a total of 13 words hidden. Good Luck!
Kia Ora fellow veiwers today Kea had a Minecraft challenge. It was to contruct and design a lookalike of your room on Minecraft. Me and Belinda worked together and made both our rooms on a building. We even added a study room for fun. It was a bit challenging becuase I got to get the measurements of my room and do the same with my Minecrafts build. Its not exactly like my room but that's fine because I got some stuff close to the furniture in my room.
Here is a screencastify of a tour and what it is enjoy:
Kia Ora veiwers! Today Kea has another fun activity planned. Last week I made slides with random memes in it. But today we had to make memes with a lockdown concept. I made about 25 memes with a lockdown theme. I dont know if you will understand it but some are pretty relatable.
Hello Fellow viewers! Today is another day of lockdown which means it's time to receive another digital task. This task was to create a game for you and your bubble to play. Today I have created a game of which you have to guess the BTS and Stray Kids member close up. The rules are simple:
Hi bloggers today I went to Whaea Sams workshop and solved an equation. So now she gave us a assignment for the next challenge. The question was. A restaurant allows 30 people at a time. How many tables can hold all 30? I dont remember the question well but it was something like that. Here is my working out:
Hello Fellow bloggers, today kea had a task called " How to ... Challenge. this challenge was to show a skill or hobby you have learned over lockdown. I have made a challenge to show you called Subtraction of fractions. Subtraction of fractions is when you have to subtract the numerator and the denominator. You also have to find the LCM or least common multiple meaning the number closest to it. Here is a tutorial showing you how to solve it.
So my challenge for you is to solve this equation ( this / equals the line in the fraction. )
8 5/4 - 4 8/9 =? Use the steps I showed before - it will help. And for a clue the LCM is 36 because 9 x 4=36 and 4 x 9 = 36.
Kia Ora bloggers, Today kea had to write a thank you letter to all the essential workers. This is to show how much we appreciate them for working hard. I made my thank you letter on Google docs. I know that not all of the essential workers can see it but we just need to show them how much we appreciate them.
Dear all essential workers,
We really appreciate your hard work for us. We are so thankful to have you during this time. We know that during these times, it can be hard but just know you're doing a great job.

Thank you teachers at schools all over the world for helping your students get an education even if it's a lockdown. Thank you cashiers at New world, Countdown, and Pak N Save and more for being there to help locals pay for their groceries. Thank you bus drivers for helping people get around to go to their work.
Thank you delivery drivers for delivering packages, food parcels, and learning packs to all the kids, we really appreciate it.

Kia Ora blogger, e tenei wiki he wiki reanga Maori. He iti te hui a Kea, aa, ka tukuna e maatau mena ka taea e koe te haere mai me te hono mai. Kei te pirangi matou ki te whakanui i te wiki hika Maori me nga taangata e taea ana e taatau. No reira Mena he waa taau, tena koa haere mai ki te tautoko i a Kea ki te whakanui i te wiki o te reo Maori. Mauruuru
Hi bloggers, before kea started their google meet, we played a game called " What do you meme" You have a picture and try to make up a really funny meme. So I wanted to give it a go. I hope you enjoy.
Kia Ora fellow bloggers. Today we had Mrs. Tonga and Mrs Venkat join our google meet to start our Garden to Table session. Our activities were to make your favorite breakfast and to set the table. You could also use a range of Maori words to add in your activities. Today i have made a slideshow with steps of how I made my breakfast. My favorite breakfast is strawberry jam on toast. ( Im quite simple when it comes to breakfast ) My slide includes a page with translated Maori words. I hope you enjoy.
Kia Ora bloggers, this week is Maori language week so Kea is learning about Maori traditions and heritage. This time I went to a different workshop learning about feelings in Te Reo Maori. I was in Breakout Tahi with Whaea Sam. We learned some common feelings and how to respond to them. Whaea Sam created a google slideshow to help us learn how to pronounce feelings in Maori.
Today i have put together some slides to make a game. You have to match the feeling in Maori to its emoji. e.g: Hiamoe - You match that to sleepy. I have put the English captions below the emojis so its not hard to tell which emoji is which.
I hope you enjoyed the GIFs at the end. And remember to not use google translate.
Hi fellow bloggers, today Kea has Maori Language week. At Maori language week we usually learn about the culture, the origin , the customs, and the history. But since its lock-down Kea had something different. We had 3 breakouts again - Breakout Tahi learning about feelings by using games and language with Whaea Sam and Mrs Tonga , Breakout Rua learning Waiata's and making up actions for them with Mel and Mr Toala'a, and Lastly Breakout Toru learning about the school's Pepeha with Whaea Ocea and Mulki.
If you attended any workshop from above you have to complete the task so you can get a Maori Language week badge on your blog. You can post your activities anywhere such as on Class dojo or on your blog. I was in Breakout Rua learning about the school Pepeha. We learned some Maori vocabulary and about the school origin. Our task was to either film ourselves repeating the school pepeha , make our own, or draw it.
But do you know what a pepeha is? A pepeha is a way to introduce yourself. It tells other people who you are and where you come from. A pepeha can be written, but usually, you will stand up and say your pepeha in front of everyone at a formal occasion. A pepeha includes names, places, and events that explain where you are from, which family you belong to, and where you fit within your larger family.A pepeha also explains how your family is connected to your local environment. We value the environment because it provides food, water, and shelter – the things that all people need to live. A pepeha is a way of showing that you value the local environment and the important connection you have with the natural world.
I have decided to make my own pepeha showing me origin and my culture. I had to translate Kea's pepeha from Maori to English to understand it. I didn't want to read out my pepeha so i just wrote it on google slides. I copied the template from my previous pepeha in 2020.
Here is the Maori and English version of the Weteri Pepeha
Kia Ora Fellow bloggers. Today Kea had a similar task to yesterday. Yesterday I did research and Explanation about Jupiter. But today i'm doing Research and Explanation about Neptune. I sort of did the same thing by making a slideshow presentation on Neptune. I had to use a rang and variety of different websites, articles, and links just so I could make this presentation complete.
I found it easy to gather information and put it together - it wasn't that hard to do anything. Here is a couple of links to articles if you wanna find out more interesting facts about Neptune. I have also include my slideshow. I hope you like it.
Hi Bloggers, today Kea has a topic on space and our Solar system. Today we had to investigate about Jupiter. I have put together some facts about Jupiter on a slideshow. But did you know that Jupiter has a total estimation of 67 moons! A little guide to Jupiter is on the slideshow as well.
I found it hard to do the research because it took so long. But it was easy to put all those facts together to make this presentation. Kea had a range of different things to do while researching about Jupiter such as making a presentation, learning about Jupiters Great red Spot, and conducting experiments. I chose to make this presentation because I like researching about different topics and learning new things.
Kia Ora Bloggers. Today I have made a slideshow animation. Mr. Margetts, joined our Google Meets to teach us how to make this animation. I used planets and shapes to construct a journey. My rocket launched from earth, then went to Jupiter, then landed on Mars. It was a bit hard to copy and group the objects but easy to visualize how I wanted the rocket to plan its journey.
Hello Fellow Bloggers! Today I have another experiment to share with you. This experiment is more of a research. Its called what is sand made of. Thanks to Nanogirl I now know what sand is made of. Before I watched the video I remembered that in my old school ( American Academy School in Qatar ) we learned what sand is made of. My old school told the students during our science lesson that sand is made of broke-down particles of shells. These shells sometimes break down due to watter pressures or long lifes. Now lets see if this theory is right.
After watching the video I learned that sand isn´t just made of broke-down shells. Its made of a mixture or different particles. Nanogirl ran a magnet through the sand to see if the magnat would attract anything. Surpisingly it managed to pick up this weird black sand. That sand was iron from all the different types of rocks on the beach. Those rocks may have broke down just like the shells.
But I wonder What types of rocks have iron in them to be able to be attracted to the magnet? Thats for me to know and you to find out. I was about to do the experiment but had no sand. But here is the link to Nanogirls Youtube page if you want to learn and do more cool experiments: https://www.youtube.com/c/NanogirlSTEMactivitiesforkids

Hello Bloggers today Kea had another lockdown task. This task requires a lot of research and crafting. Have you ever heard of a supercone before? A supercone is a object most astronauts use to hear if there is any outer life. Today´s task was to make a D.I.Y Supercone. My supercone was quite easy to make. I have uploaded the slides and article if you want to have a go. The purpose of this is to put it in your ear and hear the different sounds the world around you makes.
Here is a photo of my supercone:
