Welcome back to another post. Today's post is about maths and strategy. We had to make our own camp site on a slideshow and then we figured out how much the people who are camping have to pay to stay there for one night. There are 2 slideshow, a Kick Start and a Step It Up. Here are the slideshows:
Kick Start:
Hoki mai ano ki tetahi atu o nga korero!! "Welcome back to another post" in Te Reo Maori. Today we had to make our own word art based on words from one of the proverbs. And for the Step It up Task we had to make another one with words that were important for us. The first one the shape I did the word art in was a sun. And then the other one I did hands making a heart. I decided to put the images on a slideshow.
Here is the slideshow:
Kia Ora bloggers and welcome back to another post! Today we are talking about tastes of Summer! We had to make a food collage of Summer Tastes, we had to think of what food make us and our Whanau think of about Summer. Then we had to describe at least three of the images we put in the collage. For the step up challenge, we had to say why we liked the foods using different coloured callouts.
Here is my collage:
Welcome back to another post! Today's task is about science and safe with the UV Levels in summer. Sometimes you need to stay inside because of the weather and how it's really hot in Summer. We had to make our own UV Indicator and a UV Wearable.
Here is the UV Indicator:
Welcome back to another post. Today we had to find a Thoughtful, Helpful and Positive comment on one of our blog posts, take a screenshot of it and then add it to a google drawing and reply back to the comment. then we write what we want to reply back, then we add the draft of our comment, and add it to the reply, then take a screenshot of our reply and add it to the same drawing.
Here is the Drawing:
Kia Ora Bloggers! Welcome back to another post. Today's task is about origami. We had to make a 3D star, a Paper cup and a Finger Trap. I had a lot of fun make them. The first finger trap didn't work out because I made it a bit too big so I redid it. Then I made a smaller one. I also tried out the paper cup and the bottom of it started to go a bit soggy. I tried to make the star a few times but the paper kept on ripping and then the last time I finally got it right. I made a slideshow for the Instructions for the paper Finger Trap. Here is the slideshow:
Welcome back to my blog! Today we had to get the family together to sing a Christmas song. We sang part of The Kiwi Jingle Bells song. We had a lot of fun while trying to get everyone singing it. If you want to listen to our song and the full version.
This is our part of the song:
Welcome back to my blog! Today's activity I learnt about the weather, Te Huarere. The first activity on the slideshow was to rearrange a sentence in Maori. The second task was to find some other weather words in Maori and add them to a text box. Then we had to do a screencastify with someone saying the sentences from a slideshow. I did the screencastify with my Mum. Here is the slideshow:
Kia Ora Bloggers. Welcome back to another post! Today we had to build our own dam!! Do you know what a dam is?? Its a big wall that stops water from leaking through and for people and animals to get water instead using tap water!
We also had to put them on a google drawing and write a description about it for the kick start task and then for the step it up task we had to write down what worked and what didn't work.
Here are the google drawings:
Welcome back to my blog. Today's task is about The Jingle Bells song. I had to create my own one and then sing it on screencastify. My one is really funny!! I also made a slideshow of it. Here is the slideshow:
Welcome back to my blog. What is today's task?? The task is about treasure codes and secret messages. We had to figure out what Pigpen, Atbash and Playfair Ciphers are. They were some type of secret message codes. I created one of each for the codes. The images down below are my messages that you will try to figure out what they say. we also had to record ourselves how encrypt and decrypt one of the codes.
This is what a Pigpen code looks like:
This is what a Playfair code looks like:
And this is what an Atbash code looks like:
Here is the video of my recording:
Here are some videos to watch on how to encrypt and decrypt each of these codes to figure out what I wrote for each code.
Blog you later!!
Don't forget to comment down below what you think I wrote for each code.
Welcome back to my blog. Today's task involves SUMMER!!! Just like every other post! But this one is ABOUT summer. We had to read a story of Hana Kōkō and create our own summer outfit. We had to write down what our outfit name was and what inspired us about the outfit. We also had to write why we put the things on the outfit. The name of my outfit is Kiwiana Christmas. Here is my outfit:
Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog! For today's task we are doing "Which One Doesn't Belong?"
We had a slideshow that we had to answer "Which one doesn't belong" to each picture that was there. For an example we had to look at a picture of Santa, 4 different pictures and then see which one doesn't look like the others.
Once we finished the pictures that were there we had to do our own one but not answer the question.
Here is my slideshow:
Welcome back to my blog. After watching a video of Mangere College's song We Will Rise, I had to create my own chorus for a song. I did find this quite hard to start with. I wasn't sure where to start. After some time I finally got an idea. Here is my finished chorus:
Welcome back to my blog.
For this activity I had to learn some Te Reo Maori.
Firstly I had to complete some activities learning how to say 'What are you doing today?' and how to respond to this questions. Check out my slide to see what I learnt.
Next I had to draw a picture of my whanau and myself doing what I answered in one of the slides about what I am doing today. My answer was I am going to the beach.
Here is my picture
Finally, I had to make a screencastify of me practising with someone in my whanau. I chose to do this with my little sister, Leeya.
Check it out here:
Welcome back to my blog. Today's task is to make an illusion. Do you know what an optical illusion is?? It is a picture that plays tricks with your mind. It makes your mind think it is seeing something moving or makes shapes appear from using other shapes in a different way.
I made mine from an image I saw a few weeks ago, so I decided to see if I could recreate it myself. Have you ever tried to make one yourself or seen any?? Here is my creation.
Welcome back to my Summer Learning Journey. I am super excited about this activity. There are two parts.
KICK START
We get to create our own kowhaiwhai pattern using the following template.
My next task has arrived for everyone to see!! For today's task we had to use leaves, sticks, rocks and other outdoor equipment that's in our gardens or backyard, to make an insect or a scene. I chose to do a scene.
Here is my scene, Summer Delight. I came up with this name as it represents Summer with the flowers and bright green leaves, and when I think of Summer it fills me with a feeling of delight.
I used some dandelion flowers, not only as a flower in my scene but I also used one to represent the sun. I tried to use the big leaf like an umbrella. Using a stick and some grass I made a tree. Then the broken pieces of grass are meant to look like leaves fallen from the tree. I also added a Lego person at the last moment.
Do you think there is anything else I could have added?
Welcome again bloggers. Today's task was to first watch a video about the Fishy False Teeth, followed by reading an article. We also had to fill in a template to understand the story more better. We then had to watch a video based on the story, but it had no talking. I then had to make my own comic strip imagining the people were saying. Check out my slideshow, which shows my understanding of the story and my creation of what they were saying.
Welcome back to my blog. Today's task was to make a comment and post it on their blog as well as on mine. I posted my comment on Malachi's blog at Ruapotaki School. Here is a picture of my comment
I think this is a quality blog comment because I used all three of the 'Rules' of commenting, if you didn't know them, they are: Thoughtful, Helpful and Positive. Another reason I think this is a quality blog comment because I've given more information instead of one sentence or a few words.
Thankyou for reading my post. Do you have any other reasons why you might think this a quality blog comment??
Blog you later!
Welcome to the first day of my Summer Learning Journey Celebrating Summer!
Today I had to watch a video from Nanogirl. She told me about treasure hunt around my house for things to use for an upcoming experiment. Check out my video of me finding items around my house.
Bonjour bloggers.
Last week on Friday we had some skateboarding lessons. The coaches' names were Ben and Laurence (lo-rin-s). They are young, but good coaches with the guts to ride and teach.
They taught us a few things for a beginner when we ride. One thing that we learnt was how to push on a skateboard and do balancing lunges on the skateboard. We also learned how to do Tic-Tacs. A Tic-Tac is when you have one foot on the tail of a skateboard and the other on the screws at the front, then you put the most weight at the back and use your arms to move you from left to right.
Another trick we learnt was we had to have put our feet under the skateboard with it upside-down and jump, flip it and land on the skateboard. If you think you might fall over and hurt yourself on the concrete, then try doing it on the grass.
Blog you later.
They also have their own company called Young Guns Skate School. Don't forget to look at the photos
Kia Ora Bloggers. On the 16th of December the Summer Learning Journey Starts.
Today we did an Art Colouring Book online. We have to pick a picture to colour and then we had to use and match colours and try to match it up to see how close the colours are. We get 2 types of tasks each day, one is a Kick Start Activity and a Step It Up Activity.
I have a challenge for you guys!! Spot the difference!!! There is only one difference though.
Clue: You have to look carefully!!
I have done the picture above and the picture below.
