Hi, I am back with a another blog post. This time about how to write a 8 step quality blog comment for anyone to do.
                                                             
  1. Start with something like hello or kia ora 
  2.  Tell them something you like about their blog
  3. Then tell them if their blog post reminds you of something
  4. Add a bit more info about above steps
  5. Ask a question about their work, or you can choose to answer one if they asked.
  6. Does your comment make sense? Check it
  7. Now you have to check for punctuation and spelling
  8. PUBLISH!

Daily Check-in

Hi there, this time I will tell you about the slight change to term 3's check-in. 

With the check-in when you have started a activity you have to mark it as 'Started' and it will go green. Then after a day and you haven't completed it then click 'Working on' then once you finished the activity you click 'Completed'. Then you have to pick your color that you think your work is (purple is an example for others, a amazing piece. Pink is a piece of work completed with extra detail. Light pink is exactly as a pink but the teachers had to make suggestions about extra detail. Yellow means you have just done enough.)

There is also a place to mark your evidence of Reading, Maths and Writing.

Huia Workshop

Hello, in this blog I am going to tell you about the Huia workshop I am in and the presentation I did on Colin Albert Murdoch. Huia is a reading workshop were we met only once a week for our work we have to complete before the end of the week. Last week we were finding out the difference between invention and innovation. Innovation is an upgrade of an original invention. Invention is an original idea no one has come up with before.

Firstly I went to the workshop and had to pick a inventor from a news article I had read. I chose Colin Murdoch whose most famous invention was the Disposable Syringe. He also made the child-proof bottle cap, tranquilizing-dart gun and the Silent Burglar Alarm. He was also a pharmacist and a vet. If you want to learn more on Colin Murdoch just check my presentation on him were I have lots of different facts on the Disposable Syringe
