Kia Ora Koutou, today in Te Reo maori we learned about greetings. We had to all choose a buddy and my buddy is Sophie (🠜 Make sure you check out her blog 😉). We made a video to model how to pronounce the greetings (the sound is a little bit muffled, we couldn't find somewhere quiet enough😅). But anyways, make sure to check out our video (in the slide) down here 🠟:
I am a Year 6 student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. My teacher is Mrs Jones. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave me a comment.

Reading - Reasons For/Against- Wearing School Uniform
Yesterday in reading with Miss McLeod. We filled in a document about For or Against Wearing School Uniforms (like you can see in the title). It was a pretty hard process, and it took around 15 minutes. And that was because I didn't know a reason for wearing school uniform. Though it was a pretty hard process, I still enjoyed it cause I learned a few new things 😊.

Drones DO have a place in our future!
Hi everyone. For a week now, in Miss Mcleod's writing class we have been working on persuading writing. We each chose a topic to write about, mine (as you see on the title) is that Drones DO have a place in our future. I found paragraph 2 kinda hard cause I didn't know that much about the military😊. Some of you may disagree with this but your mind might change when you read my writing. 😉
Drones DO have a place in our future
Do you think drones DO have a place in our planet’s future? Well I certainly do.
Drones can help with many things like: searches for people, the military and they
can help the planet.
Firstly, drones are GREAT for searches. Mainly, they are good for searches for people. Keving Weldon had invented a rescue drone. It has a camera which can zoom in on things. These rescue drones are big enough to carry an adult, which means they can rescue you and easily carry you back to a safe place.
Secondly, drones can help in the military. Military drones are normally
known as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or RPAS (Remotely Piloted
Aerial Systems). In the military drones can be used to drop bombs or
grenades, this is because if a soldier did this he might have a chance of
being injured (or die). Some drones have guns attached to them which
means that you can control them to shoot whilst in the air, this could
help with sneaking on an opponent and aiming. So, don’t you think drones
should help in the military?
Finally, drones can help with the planet. And when I say ‘drones can
help with the planet’ I mean that they can help grow trees. A group
of British engineers has designed drones that can grow trees. You
just fill them with seeds and they will ‘drop’ them into the ground,
then, the trees will grow up by themselves in the wild. These drones
are way faster than us humans, in fact, they are 6 times faster
than us ! ! ! Isn’t that amazing?
In conclusion, I think that drones will have a great place in our future. This is because they can help with the military, searches for people and they can help with our planet. So don’t you now think that drones do have a place in our future?

Cell Phones History
Cell Phones History
Introduction
Cell Phones were invented back in the 1984’s by Martin Cooper. And after that, people started to upgrade Cell Phones from their looks to their use.
Body Paragraph 1: Appearance
Cell Phones throughout the years have changed their appearance A LOT. Martin Cooper’s first cell phone looked like a walkie-talkie. Then, people upgraded it to flip phones. After that, phones with screens and keys. Then phones that look like the phones now, they have screens and you could do WAY more things with them.
Body Paragraph 2: Use
Cell Phones now have many different uses. Long ago when cellphones were only just invented they could only call. Then, people upgraded cell phones so that they could call and text. But now, cell phones can do MANY more things like: play games on, draw on, download apps on, take notes on and they still can call and text on.
Body Paragraph 3: History
Cell phones date back to 1973. The first cell phone was invented by Martin Cooper, Donald Cox, W.Rae Young, and Eric Tigerstedt. And the first automated cellular cell phone network (1G) was made in Japan by the Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company.
Conclusion
Cell phones are great machines that can help you a lot. And maybe in 10 more years cellphones could have a whole new appearance.
