Cafe Day!!

Wow - our Cafe Day was today and it was brilliant!!!
We had to postpone it from during Term 3 when our topic was 'Actions Speak Louder than Words'... but in the end it ended up fitting in perfectly with this term's topic of 'Culture Club'.

Everyone in Moana Learning Hub was involved.... our whanau baked delicious food, we decided what entertainment we should have (especially to showcase all our talents) and invited guests - namely our elders.

We had the first 3 weeks of term to practice and get ready... we had ukelele playing, singing, dance, gymnastics, jump jam and finished with a haka.  We had a full hall of guests and everyone had a very, very enjoyable time!

We did such a good job that we were even able to sit down together at the end and indulge in some of the baked goodness that was left over!

Many thanks to everyone who helped us: before, during and after!!

Here is a video with just a snippet of the awesome entertainment enjoyed through the morning....




We also made it into the Gisborne Herald!

Showing your oldest blog-post first - and the rest in reverse order.

Blogger doesn't have an option to display your posts in reverse order - so that the oldest post is first, and the most recent post is last.   But this article describes displaying your posts in this way by manipulating their post dates.  And it links to an article about some other possible options. Previously I've discussed the options for giving your blog a home page.   One option is to organise the post-date for each of your posts, so that you control the order posts are displayed in. This is easy enough to do, although there are a couple of risks that you need to be aware of as discussed below. Blogger Posts and the Post-date Each Post in your blog has a date-time value, which is called its "post-date".   Normally , this is set to the date/time when you publish the post for the first time.  But you can change the post date for any post , and you can do this either when you publish it first, or later on. The post-date is important because it control...

How to change or remove the Newer Post and Older Posts links

Image
This article explains how to hide or change the format of the "Older Posts" and "Newer Post" and "Home" links that are shown at the b ottom of Blogger blogs with Layout or Designer themes. Why are the older and newer posts links used Most designer and layout themes  have links at the bottom of your page of blog posts which let readers navigate back and forward among the list of posts. This is basic to how a blog is intended to work:  you post regularly, and give people a way to get back to previous posts. The pager-links are particularly important on pages that are reached using the Label or Archive gadgets, which may show more posts than you normally have on your home page, or displaying in your blog. But some people want to remove them - and this is fine provided readers have other ways of navigating around the blog. How to remove "Newer Posts" and "Older Posts" from your blog To totally remove these items, you just add some new CSS r...

Graffiti: Art or Vandalism?

Our Huia reading group was given an interesting question from Koka Ngaire... is Graffiti Art or Vandalism? We read a couple of L4 texts and looked at a video about the history of graffiti and we had to form our opinion from these and our prior knowledge. We all came to the conclusion that it depends.  It depends where it is and what the message is...  WHAT DO YOU THINK?  We would love to hear your feedback in the comments. Koka Ngaire took some photos of real life graffiti and street art in Melbourne - we had lots of discussion about those! Have a read through a couple of examples of our presentations.... from Kaya, Carys, Daniel B and Obe
