<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Tenei wiki kei te ako matou e pa ana ki Matariki. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our chat will be on Wednesday 13 June.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Matariki is the Māori name for the star cluster known as the Pleiades. Traditionally for Māori when it appeared just before dawn in late May or early June, it signalled the start of the Māori New Year. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">Different tribes celebrated Matariki at different times. For some it was when Matariki rose in May/June. For others it was celebrated at the first new moon, or full moon, following the rising of Matariki. In the 21st century it is the new moon following the rising of Matariki that signals the New Year. This year Matariki begins on the 15th of June.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">I think that it is awesome to develop our knowledge of our collective heritage and identity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">This made me wonder.........in your opinion or culture, when is New Year? So get your curiosity and wondering brains in gear and challenge yourself to ask..... Is today really today? Does everyone around the world have the same date and time, or calendar as we use in New Zealand.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Artificial Intelligence has been a hot topic lately. From self driving cars to using Siri or Alexa on phones/tablets and iPads. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You might have had an experience by using it and it not even known about it. Have you ever been on Netflix or Lightbox? Every time that app suggests a movie you might like that is an example of Artificial intelligence at work. </span><br />

This year is a Census year. A census is a big question form that gathers lots of information about all the people in New Zealand. The census only happens every 5 years. It is a snapshot of the New Zealand population on one night every five years and is compulsory to complete. If there is one this year can you work out when the last one was?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">With the advent of social media, mobile devices in the classroom and a range of e-learning tools in the classroom it is more important than ever that students are aware of the long term effects of leaving their digital footprint and learn to become good cyber citizens. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The concept of digital citizenship needs to be embedded in all aspects of work in schools with e-learning tools.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-decoration-line: none;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A good way to start this is to build awareness of what it means to be a good citizen in our community - local, national and global. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">Term 4 is almost over, we've had a whole year of hard work and plenty of great fun with Kidsedchatnz. Our topics have included; Coding, </span><span id="docs-internal-guid-19d48af8-ccbc-485c-32ed-081bc36ed858"><span style="font-family: "sniglet"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Health & Nutrition </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">, Science, and family. We have learnt some amazing things from all of the children taking part and it is always proving to me how important it is to be a learner. In class, my children are teaching me how to create stop animations using plasticine and I'm always learning ways to be a better teacher or parent, but all of this requires hard work.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 18.81px;" />
<b style="background-color: white; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">This week WE have three challenges for you before taking part in Kidsedchatnz:</b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">1 - Find or make up a great quote about learning, make it into a poster or meme and share it with us on Wednesday.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">2 - Talk to another child and identify what they want to be learning in 10 years? Why?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">3 - Ask an adult about their learning, what are they learning and how does this make them feel.</span><br />

I am keen to make sure we all get to know each other a bit better as this would help make the connections more authentic. Wouldn't it be cool if some of the connections we make </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">here </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">each week be developed further! </span></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is hard to believe that it is Week 3 of Term 4, where does the year go! I can hardly believe that in a few weeks we will all be getting ready for the Summer holidays. Bring on the warm weather and lazy days watching the Black Caps.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week our topic is about Change and Kids issues. Over the past few weeks Aotearoa has gone through some pretty big changes. We have a new Government lead by Jacinda Ardern, who is now our 40th Prime Minister. The Government has made several big promises around supporting children to thrive and succeed. We want to hear about change in your space and how to make it sustainable and what issues are facing our Kiwi kids.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When Jacinda Ardern was offered the leadership of her party she said <span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">"When opportunities come up, say 'Yep, I can do that job'." Could you be the change in your community?</span></span></span><br />

In this week's KidsedchatNZ we are wondering abut the future. What do you think your future holds? What skills do you think you will need? Do you have any ideas about what you want to do?<br />
<br />
What problems do you want to solve when you grow up?<br />
<br />
This clip talks about coding, which is a skill that people believe will be very sought after in the future.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dU1xS07N-FA?rel=0" width="500"></iframe><br />
<br />
1. Tell us about the clip. Was there anyone that inspired you to give coding a go?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Have you been learning coding in your school? If so, what do you use to do it? Why do you like it?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Have you created anything before using coding? What was it? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(Include your photos)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. How can we encourage more children to learn to code? Will you get involved in the #hourofcode ?<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vNjiHkQQl6A?rel=0" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Can you think of any problems that you could solve with coding?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. What do you want to do in the future? Does this job exist now?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Do you think that schools need to buy more technology like Dot and Dash?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>

This is a time for all New Zealanders to celebrate te reo Māori (the Māori language) and to use more Māori phrases in everyday life. In 2017 Māori Language Week runs from 11-17 September, the theme is 'Kia ora te reo' – which celebrates New Zealand’s indigenous greeting and the intent of te reo Māori revitalisation efforts between the Crown and Māori.</span><br />
