Waikowhai Student Led Toolkits W.S.L.T

STEM WEEK - WAIKOWHAI STUDENT LED TOOLKITS 

 It was 16/6/21 and I was so relieved not to be a presenter! Answer YES. It was a bright sunny day when I had just finished a LONG assembly. Toolkits is an online presentation that has been presented by two or three children. For STEM week. But it had to be appropriate to class. We all had a little strip of paper that told us where we were going for our first toolkit right before morning tea. A few days ago we went on a site that the teachers had put on for us to choose our three toolkits. There was a lot to choose from and I chose the three that I thought sounded pretty fun. I chose : Piskel, Musiclab and Book creator. And they had 35 mins to show and present their presentations. 

I went to my first toolkit which was Piskel presented by Zara and Josie. Piskel is an online tool used by colouring squares in the same or a different colour. I was going to draw a T-shirt that says SAMOA but I drew this instead CLICK HERE OR CLICK HERE . I had so much fun and learnt lots of things like the mirror tool that will copy ANYTHING you do by just copying the page! 

Then after morning tea we went on to our next two toolkits and I had just been waiting for thing one and it was presented by my friends Erana and Paityn. They were presenting music lab that was probably my favourite one because I really like music and playing instruments. And what I liked most was when there was a big place in the music lab website where I had to click one of the squares and it would show a colour and it would make a music note. 

For my last toolkit I went into my own class and the toolkit was ... BOOK CREATOR!!!! I was pretty intrigued when I heard the name BOOK CREATOR. The presenters for this toolkit was Ayana and Nora were the presenters and I was very very excited. First they showed us how to login and we tried to figure it out ourselves but they showed us anyway. We could make two kinds of books: a normal one and a comic. I made a comic about Samoa and will blog about it when I am finished. 

I really enjoyed this toolkit and I really want to be a presenter and I hope our teachers let us do this again at the end of the year.

Plus STEM means : S Science T Technology E Engineering and Mathematics.

Cultural Games learning!

 Talofa, Kia Ora and Aloha! Yesterday on the 27th of May we learnt a Russian game that was called Wizards. We got into two groups and split into one third of the court. There was three taggers and they have to try and tag you and we had to run away from the taggers. The non taggers would try and run away and if the taggers tag them. If you got tagged you had to stand like a star and shout for help. It was very fun and I was not a tagger but I got tagged a lot. In the last round of the game there was four taggers on of which were my friends and I felt so bad running away from them. It was the end of the game and the taggers had won, sad. 

For our next game We played stream and it was a game that needed an uneven team and we had one person that ran through nd grabbed a random person and the person that lost their buddy came and ran to the front. We faced west and got our buddy that was sitting west of us. We also got to yell for the person to grab them and sometimes we would and sometimes we won't. On my first go I grabbed my friend Erana and she was laughing when she came out. It was so fun to learn TWO small Russian games and I would be so happy to play again.
