For the Summer Learning Practise this week we have been asked to share a book that we have read this year. The reason we are doing this is to help Curious Kiwi find a book to read on the plane for our trip to... SOUTH AFRICA. The book I am going to tell you about is "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time."

SLJ Practise: Let's travel to South Africa!
Hey Readers,
This term we are learning about the Summer Learning Journey. For this I have chosen to travel to South Africa to learn more! Each week we have a blogging task to complete - hopefully you will learn more about this country too.
Today we are learning quick facts! Most of the information is on this link.
The capital city of South Africa is... Pretoria.
The population of the capital city is... 2.125 million people (which is just less than half of the population of New Zealand! Wow!)
In January the weather is.... 20 degrees and it is mid-summer.
The capital city is located near the top of the country you can see where on this map! (look down the bottom)
In South Africa there are 11 offical languages! That is a lot! They are Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Sotho, Swazi, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa and Zulu. Most people speak more than one language.
I think it would be awesome to be able to visit South Africa! I think I would have some trouble with the different language though!
Where would you like to travel?

My All About Me Poster!
This is a poster I have been working on during Cyber Smart time. It is all about me with my favourite things. Can you guess what these things are? I made sure that the images I used in my poster were from the Public Domain and made sure that the owner gave permission. I used a really cool website called Unsplash for the images.

Coding 101 ~ swift playgrounds
Last week we went on a new website called code.org it is all about coding. Coding is when you write instructions for the computer or iPad to follow. We had to use blocks with movement instructions on them like move forward, turn right etc.
Here are some screenshots of the challenges I did:
Above is the screenshot of the first challenge that I did.
This is my favourite one and it was the last one that I got up to last week!

Internet and Etiquette: The Perfect Smart Relationship
These last few weeks we have been learning and teaching about etiquette online. (This is often called Netiquette.) We now know what it is and think it is important for others to learn as well. So this post is aiming to teach you about Netiquette!
To support our learning here is the slide deck that we completed. We learnt a lot by watching the videos, creating video notes and then a making mind mup. We were challenged to think about the 'because' or the 'why' the social rules apply.
The reflection question that I am going to ask is: What can you learn from this?
Being online or being face to face does not change how we treat one another. We should always aim to be kind and use our powers for good not evil! It is important to realise that even when you are online there is another person at the end of the network!
