LI: To be cybersmart around our chrombooks
The whole reason that the Kawa of Care even exists, and your school and your whānau work together is that so you can use a netbook for your learning. Learning is a big part every school and keeping your netbook safe can help you keep your learning up to date. One of the most important rules is to keep foods and drinks away from your chromebook. This will break your netbook if you spill a drink or drop crums in between your keyboard.
LI: To write and say your pepeha.
To help us get to know each other we have written our own pepeha. This allows us to connect with our classmates and even the wider world. A pepeha is explaining who you are, where you come from and where you grew up.
I enjoyed this activity because I go to tell my backstory.

Our challenge today was to make a trickshot using ping pong balls. I didn’t have any ping pong balls so I improvised and used a basketball instead. My trickshot was to throw the basketball in the basket. This took me 4 minutes and 15 tries to make the ball go in the basket. I thought this was very challenging as the basket was very far away and I had to get my power and accuracy perfect.
Altogether I thought this actvity fun as I showed my creativity and how hard I can challenge
