Tea cups

Today in Miss W's math group, we did a tea cup problem solving activity. There were rules and they were hard to follow, i guess that was my weakness. There was NOTHING whatsoever that was easy except for the fact that it was like Sudoku. It was so hard, i actually needed help from the teacher, i admit. Short blurb done.

SUMNER SURFING!!!!

On Friday we went on a Surfing trip. The bus left at 8.30am so I kinda had to get here early. Anyways, it was really boring until we reached the sumner river, when people started getting excited. We got to the Esplanade, and none of us could bear another second. The bus stopped, and people single filed out....


ACTION: We split into groups based on homerooms and then my homeroom went to do sand castle comps. About half an hour later, our homeroom went down to the beach, grabbed boogie-boards and split into 2 groups. I got put into the dolphin group so that meant I was going boogie boarding and the other group was going surfing. I got wiped out once and my mum caught it on camera. I was SOOOOOOOOOO embarrassed because she showed all her 

Blue zone.........

Today in homeroom time we created posters for "The Blue Zone". The teachers had already done the starting marks for us, so we just had to fill out the blank spots. My strats were the ones I usually use when I am in the blue zone so i'm an expert at them. Maybe you out there  might be??? I don't know... but what I do know is that they help me go from the blue zone to the green zone. Playing a video game is my best one because I just go sit on the couch and play all day. That is a pretty easy one, otherwise I just hop in bed and play on my computer. And another thing I know is that you will want an image. Did you enjoy? Cya next time!!!!

FRIDAYS ARE THE BEST DAY EVER!!!

On Friday last week, some St Andrews people came to our school. They also brought A LOT of fun. First, at around 12.30, the whole school went over to the outside of the hall and we got a sausage inside bread. (Sausage Sizzle) We also got a drink of juice with it. Next, we went in groups to different classrooms doing different activities. My group went to Paper Planes first, Catapults second, and this is the fun part - PASTA Marsh Mallow Towers. Our little group did soooo badly. The last thing we did was Play Dough animals. My animal was a Big-Mouthed Puffer fish. That's all, HOPE YA ENJOYED!!!

MATHS STRAND - DAYS OF THE WEEK IN MAORI!

This morning in Te Reo Maori we have been doing -Maori days of the week. Rahina, Ratu, Raapa, Rapare, Ramere, Rahoroi and Ratapu. They go in order from Monday to Sunday. You first had a sheet with all 7 days, then you had to cut them out and glue them in your book with sentences that remind you of what you usually do on that day. It took about half an hour, but I got it done, and that's all that matters.

EMOTIONS/ ZONES OF REGULATION DRAWINGS BLOG!!!!

This afternoon we were doing zones of regulation drawings. It first started out with watching "Guess the emotion" video featuring Inside Out. We guessed the emotion of all the main characters, ranging from Sad, to angry, to scared, to who knows what. Then, we were sent out into groups of three to do a drawing like shown above. That is the main thing to do. You already had a stick person on the paper, so you had to draw a face that is showing the emotion you chose, then write factors of the emotion. That's all I will say, but I hope you enjoyed!! Cya next time!

CYBERSAFETY WITH A VIDEO/ FOUR TOP TIPS TO BEING SAFE ONLINE!!!

These past two weeks we have been doing Powtoons about being safe online. There are 4 top tips to being safe online, and you can see a link at the end of this blog. I didn't find anything hard, but at the same time I didn't find anything easy. Link to video-https://www.powtoon.com/online-presentation/c4XZ0AYQZsv/cybersafety/ 

Isaiah and Tyler´s Cybersmart BLOG!!

This term in Cybersmart we have been doing ¨Canva¨, A website that lets you create bookmarks. Our group used Canva while we were learning weather in Maori. Me and Isaiah learnt that Wera is the Maori word for ¨Hot, for example. It was a good choice for cybersmart, so rock on, Canva!!

Mission to Mars

We were challenged to research and plan a Mission to Mars. We watched NASA videos. We read lots of articles about space travel and Mars. We learnt what humans would need to survive on Mars. Those being: Oxygen, Houses, food, water, radiation protection, heat and warmth, and entertainment

This is my group plan on how to survive:

Statistics - SIBLING GRAPH!!!

Today for math strand we did an activity called ¨Statistics¨. It was about siblings graphing. Everyone had to put their hand up for a certain sibling (Brother, Sister, Only child). You had to vote for one or two. There was 16 votes for who had a brother, 17 for who had a sister and 3 votes for only child. I am the only child in my house. Then, we have to blog our work, and that´s what i´m doing. I accidentally made a mistake by doing it upside down, but that´s normal. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but everyone learns from them and succeeds when they try it again.

Maths Strand

For the last five to six weeks in math strand we have been doing minecraft maps on A4 paper. We had to draw a map then go over in "8 centimeter" ruler then go over everything in vivid. It took a bit of time, but i finished last week. If you try, you wont always get it, but you can so hang in there and you'll get praises from everyone!

Digi- Awards Blog!

Since week 2, Me and my friends Lucas S And Mitchell H as well as almost the whole team have been doing an activity called "Digi Awards!" basically, you make a website about something, and give away  facts about whatever you've been websiting about. For us, it didn't work because most of it got deleted, but if you were finished the facts, you were supposed to change the sharing settings to public so everyone could see, do a blurb and then publish.

THE CURSE OF DIRT TRACK GLADIATORS!!! [Video Game]

(Lucas and Tyler’s Buddy Writing)

Characters are:

Lucas, Tyler, and

The bad guy doctor

Netonius

 
Chapter 1

Once upon a time Lucas and Tyler were gaming on the playstation 4 and PC that they got for christmas the previous month.They had been wanting one for years. So they were gaming on Dirt Track Gladiators happily, then suddenly a portal opened up on the track that they were racing which was Fudge Island figure 8 with a jump in the middle.

Lucas was driving Nissan 350z while Tyler was racing with an Ibishu Covet Rally version. So neither of their cars made it through. “That was not part of the track” said Lucas. A shadow was looming over the wall beside them. Suddenly a real portal opened up and they were pulled in within seconds.

Chapter 2

They shot out of the portal and landed in a crowd of weird shaped people. “You look funny” said Tyler “You too” Lucas replied. Tyler was Furious. He said “ÝOU WILL PAY FOR THAT ONE LUCAS!! Tyler said, lunging at Lucas, knocking him over. It wasn’t me it was the game as he punched Tyler in the stomach making him fall over in pain. “YOWWWW!!!!” Said Tyler in agony.Let’s just try to get out of here as he helped Tyler stand up. G- goood- ii- idea said Tyler spluttering from the force of Lucas “opps” Lucas said.

Chapter 3

They were walking through a world there was fudge everywhere. So they grabbed big chunks of it for the journey suddenly a man Popped out of thin air he had a badge it said Doctor Netonius He fiddled around in his pockets and found a weird device He pushed a button and he disappeared with a pop and they Were left standing motionless “was that the special teleporting device You can use in a race to speed up your car?”said Lucas.  “I think it was” said Tyler ominously.”Wow that was incredible” said Lukas, “ok” said Tyler lets just think if that was from the game we must be in the game “oh no” said Lucas to tyler suddenly Lucas froze as solid as ice Tyler spun around to see who did it and that was the last thing he saw. WEEKS LATER- he woke up with his hands binded to a chair Lucas was beside him and he said “well look who woke up”.” Hang on what happened to us”said Tyler “well we got frozen by that bad guy called Doctor Netonius obviously”.

Chapter 4

Our heroes are trapped in the fearsome dungeon strapped up how will they escape

Watch out for the next book!
This week in Literacy we have been working on Free Buddy Writing. Me and Lucas.S, my best friend, teamed up together to write a book called: VIDEO GAMES W/ PORTALS!!

Matariki Star Blog - celebrating Matariki!

Over the last two days, we have been creating Matariki stars. You need to use cardboard and string, kind of like the string that cats like. You cut out either a little or big circle out of a big cardboard piece and cut out 12 small lines in the cardboard, then thread string through the cardboard then you're  pretty much done. I found it quite challenging  to thread the string, and so i didn't get it done. Most people get it done in like five minutes but i didn't, so on my head be it. Oh well, i might get it another time.

Broken Rock Paper Scissors - A Fallen Warrior

Over the last two days we have been doing an activity in literacy called Broken Rock Paper Scissors.  It involves Dialogue, recounting and speech. i found it hard by it taking a long time, but I learnt that it's no hassle to finish. What I found easy was there was no complex tasks to edit and draft, as i'm not too good at drafting, but nothing is hard as always, if you work to your abilities!!

IP DIP SKY BLUE!!!!

Today in  math we did a math activity called Ip dip sky blue. We had to figure out a math question that i cant even remember because i accidentally deleted the image, but i worked it out using patterns. The patterns just came up in my head, so i cant really tell you much more, but just try to your ability and you can do ANYTHING!!

Friend Graph!!

Today in math we did a Friendship graph using a whiteboard and a whiteboard marker. We had to figure out using a maths google slide who was friends with who? The hard part was using circles and lines instead of something easier. The easy part was we could put names in the circles; but as always you can do anything if you truly work to your ability!

Warehouse Math

Today in math we did a warehouse 100 dollar activity where we make a room makeover. i didnt find anything hard but at the same time i didnt find anything easy. Try anything and you'll get through it if you do your hardest work. It takes a long time, but life's too short to yell at your computer.

Tyler R's Direction and position

Today in Maths strand We have been learning about Direction and Position using a Google doc link from the site. We used a map of certain buildings and houses, etc. What i found hard was that we needed to use NESW (North East South West) and I'm not very good at that. I suppose I am sort of learning about it, but i still need to learn a few more things about it. What i found easy about it was that we were allowed to use a map, otherwise it would be as hard as making a mountain, but you can conquer anything if you try as hard as you can. 

What building is East of the Café? Videos

What building is North of the Hall? Church

What building is South of the Chemist? Doctors

What direction is the Playcentre from the Church? West

What direction is the Playground from the Doctors?

My Racing Guide

  This week i have been learning about an app called book creator. I have started planing a New book called "A guide to being a Professional Race car driver!". I have been finding it hard to actually think of what the book would actually be called, and who the characters would actually be. Finally i decided  there would be just ONE character, and that would be ME. Then, i thought, WHAT was going to be a good guidance for being a race car driver? WHY could i be an expert at knowing about racing, but here, i couldn't Think.... Finally I dug in and wrote a little bit of the story.

Welcome

Welcome to my very own blog for learning. I look forward to sharing my learning with teachers, my school, my family and friends anywhere.
