T4W6 - Distance Learning - Innovation Mini STEAM Project 6: Transport

Guess this theme song...

Transporters, more than meets the eye. Transporters, WAKA in disguise.

Now sing it like you mean it!

It's important to give credit where credit is due.

Acknowledging original artist behind the art you borrowed from them is important because their time and effort went into creating that piece of art that took you seconds to mouse drag into your work. The least you can do is invest a little time with a few mouse clicks to find out the original source & let your audience know.

The easiest and fastest way to know if a website is safe is to look for the padlock symbol at the beginning of the URL bar or web browser. A padlock means the website is safe. If there's a red strike through the padlock then don't trust it, it's not safe. 

Daily Challenge: 18th of November

These are killer fitness challenges. I need to do more but I don't want to haha.

Food glorious food! Food is my jam!

Also, the fact that a third of the Great Wall of China is missing due to people stealing bricks for building their own houses. Sad. I hope there's still a wall when the borders open up so I can walk the Great Wall.

Daily Challenge: 16th of November

Messi is super talented, even at the young age of 16. It'd be so cool to have his skills.

Daily Challenge: 15th of November

While the kaiako's were busy setting up the classrooms in preparations for students returning to school, I was making the most, out of the sunshine and mowed our lawns. I also decided to mow our elderly neighbours berm too, while I was at it and pick up rubbish from the front. I was disappointed to see lots of discarded face masks.

Appreciation post for my Nana - Grandparents Wero

 “Fondest Memory”

Grandparents Wero

Sleepover at Nana and Papa’s is always adventurous but is more memorable for Nana’s signature breakfast. She’d get up super early and put on a pot of oats and water. Stir the pot till the oats soak up all the water and what you’re left with, is a thick gluggy consistency that looks like paste.

With her cheerful face and sweet tone, she called out to us “Breakfast is ready, help yourself my moko’s” pointing to a pot sitting on a wooden board on the table next to a stack of cereal bowls.

I remember propping my 6 year old body up over the table and peering into the pot for the very first time, scanning my eyes sideways at TJ and thinking “What the heck is this?! It looks like sludge! Where’s the milk?! Where’s the cream and sugar?!” Then looking at the end of the table and seeing my Dad giggling. I was confused, is this a joke?

My Nana, proud as, added “You’ll love it my moko, dig in before it’s all gone.”

I was raised to respect my elders, be grateful for what I have and eat what I’m given or go without. So with shaky hands, I dug in and scooped a spoonful into my bowl.

“Don’t be shy my boy, this stuff makes you big and strong” My Nana insisted with concerning eyes as she dalloped another scoop into my bowl.

I don’t know how, but I polished my bowl, despite the efforts of my Nana continuing to top me up. I quickly learnt that she only tops me up, if she sees that my bowl is empty, so I ate slower. Each mouthful was getting harder and harder to swallow. I knew it wasn’t a joke when I saw my Dad and Papa eating it too. I felt like we were all pulling the same facials.

Later, when I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth, my Dad came in and said

“Yeah, sorry son. I forgot to warn you about Nana’s jail porridge. But I’m proud as of you for sucking it up and not turning it into a big deal. Your the first moko to not turn your nose up at it, so I’m pretty sure you’re Nana’s favourite now. You kicked your Uncle Midge off his perch.”

I can’t enter this writing piece into the school leader wero because it’s exceeds the word count limit by A LOT but I had fun remembering this and thought it was worth a blog post.
