Blast Off

 Last week me and my partner Madeleine had to build a better catapult in our class blast off it was really fun to do and also it was really fun to build a catapult because I have also never done that before it was also kind of difficult to do because you had to come up with an idea on what to build and also to build it the building was kind of hard for me because the rubber bands were breaking or the sticks were and it was really difficult but in the end me and my buddy did it we also did a comeptiton for the best catapult out of the class me and my buddy didnnt place but also it was really fun to do we also had to create a poster if we were to sell catapults it looked really cool here are some photos of our catapults and our poster.

Water Consumption

 Today we learned about water consumption on how much water you use a month a year or a week and we also learned about how wasteful we can be with water and how we need to be aware of how long we shower and leave the tap running and we also have to be aware to have short showers and learned about in other countries on how people have to walk really far to only get dirty water to drink. 

  

What Christmas Means To Me

 Last Week me and my class got to write about what Christmas means to them and I got to write about what a Christmas means to me! so here is what I wrote about.

What Christmas means to me

 Christmas means to remember about when Jesus had been birthed and spending time with family and friends it isn't always about the presents and gifts it’s about celebrating Christmas and having a good time with your family and also some friends it it also about giving,joy and happiness. Meri Kirihimete everyone!

Goal Setting

 For the past two days we have been updating our goal setting since the start of the year I think I have done good with my social goal my Learning Disposition Goal and my Academic Goal it was fun to do and it was amazing to see what I have accomplished and achieved 

 

Ice Candles

 Yesterday we made ice candles for a science experiment I think that it was an amazing experiment  it was so fun and I really enjoyed it and if you were wondering how do you make them? well here are the steps!

Firstly you need some old candles that you don't use or work anymore then you want some used foil or cardboard milk containers then you wanna rinse them with water then cut the top off after you have cutted it off you put some oil down the bottom then you wanna rub the oil on the sides after you have done that you can put your old candles in a pan on your stove or you can put them in while your doing your oil then you stick the candle you want to use in the oil then you grab some ice cubes after you have grabbed your ice cubes and have made them go all the way up the top you grab your candle wax and pour it in the milk container since we did it at school we had to wait til the next day for them to dry when you might want to wait til the next day for it to dry then when your done you want to get your ice candle out of the milk container you should have it looking like this!

   

November Reflection

 Today at school even tho it is December we have done our November Reflection I think sometimes it is good to reflect on what I have done for my learning for the past month 

I found it easy to insert my photo because all you have to do it take a photo

I found it tricky to figure out a thing to do in the maths one

My digital learning object shows that how to reflect on my learning 

Heres Mine

Digital Artwork

 Today for cybersmart we have practically started our summer learning journey. The process was watch the videos on our class sight then we went to the website to do our art there were options to choose the art to do I chose to do the wave  you could see the original then you can start your colouring. 

The artist of the wave that I did is Hokusai is a japanese artist. 

here is the link to the sight

Create a newspaper of the police getting trapped by nets - Recruit task

 Today I have done a recruit task the recruit task that I chose is create a ne
wspaper of the police being trapped by nets also if you were wondering what the recruit is it is this book that me and my class read every afternoon after lunch I think I have done a very good job what do you think? Here it is

 

Spooky House - Reading

 On Monday for reading we got to design our own SpOokY house you could either do it on your chromebook or do it yourself on paper or in buddies I chose to do it digitally and do it independently the book was about this family who moved to a new house apparently it was a spooky house and people heard stories that a old scientist used to live there one time a lady saw smoke come out of the chimney and the family decided and the kids friends decided to explore the attic people said never go in the attic but the kids mum elbowed the door and it was open then the mum's son ben was in there eating chocolate because he worked at a chocolate factory. This is my SpOoKy house!!

 Inference is a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning inference is making sure you are right and the people who were moving their stuff were unsure because they heard spooky stories about the house I thought this because that is what I think it means to Infer.

The Story Of Parihaka

 For the past week me and my buddie Mya have been working on a feather for Parihaka. Parihaka is about  and the government promised the Māori that they would be able to keep possessions of the land the Māori didn't want to leave so they pulled the pegs out and then the government said you have 14 days or you will be removed they didn't listen and then loads of soldiers came and then the two chiefs Te whiti and Tohu got put and jail and then they died. Here is the feather

  

Thank you letter

 Today I am posting my thank you letter and I have chosen to send mine to the bus driver Ray the reason I chose him is because he is the bus driver that drove me and some of the other classes to tui ridge camp there was also another bus driver but he wasn't my one so I chose ray who was my bus driver they were very kind because they let us eat and drink in the bus when it was raining on the day we were traveling back from Rotorua so here's my letter

Dear Ray.

I am writing to you to say thank you because of all the amazing work you have done to get us to Rotorua and from Gisborne and back to Gisborne again you also drove us safely and even after the luge when it was raining you even let us go into the bus to eat our lunch which was very kind of you to do. When everyone was shouting and being noisy you just let us keep on being it 

My favorites were Slingshot Paintball, Flying fox, Nerf wars, Paradise valley, The luge. Were all very exciting and fun to do because some of these activities I have always wanted to try but never got to well accept for nerf wars and the luge when I went to the slingshot paintball I was like oh no! This is gonna hurt and it kinda did but I didn’t want to be a baby so I kept all my pain in.

So thank you Ray for all of the hard work that you have done for all of us. You are the best!!

October Reflection

 Today at school we did our October reflection we do our monthly reflections every month because we can reflect on what we have done this month I love to reflect on what I have done each month because then I can remember about things do you and your class do monthly reflections?

I found it easy to do my photo because it is quick and easy

I found it tricky to choose a background cause there were so many colors to choose from

My digital learning object shows I know how to reflect on my learning 

Jungle Law

 For the past 4 days we have been doing some reading our reading task was jungle law it is about this guy that goes exploring in a jungle and then some army ants started chasing him and then lost them he climbed a tree and there was a jaguar below him and then he saw the army ants charging for the jaguar so he chucked a rock at the jaguar and then the jaguar ran off and the guys name Dr Ronco it was gonna go for him

I found it easy to try and get the words in the green box

I found it tricky to try and recreate it

my digital learning object shows I know how to use google drawings

Maybe next time me and my buddy Francesca could change the fonts

 

Camp Goals/Camp Rules

before we left for camp we did our camp goals and our camp rules since we tried to reach our goals I actually did which I am happy about I made some new friends and came out of my comfort zone so I have updated my goals here they are.

Pop Art

Today for Cybersmart we made a pop art digitally the person who inspired us was Andy Warhol we used this website called Lunapic here is the link click here.  
if you were wondering how to use Lunapic you take a photo of yourself then you go onto Lunapic and then click upload photo and then click art then sketch2  then it will take you to it and then you click one of the effects and then it will show you what it looks like and then click file then save image.
I found it easy to upload the images.
I found it tricky to put the link in because it wouldn't work.
next time I could choose different effects. 

5 best places in Gisborne

This week for Cybersmart we were learning to engage the reader its called a Sisomo which means Sound, Motion, Sight we could either choose Wevideo Canva Book creator and also google drawing me and my buddie Mya chose to do goggle drawings because Mrs Torrie told us we weren't aloud to use google slides so we pushed it to the side 

I enjoyed posting it onto my blog so then people could see what me and Mya did 

I found it tricky to choose good places around Gisborne because there is so many to choose from 

Maybe next time we could change the background and choose different fonts 

Here it is!

Biosecurity

This week for reading we read about biosecurity you are probably wondering what is biosecurity? well this is what it is. Biosecurity is where someone is checking peoples bags to see if they have anything that shouldn't be in there like dairy products or diseases or even pests! these things should NOT be coming into New Zealand because then it could hurt our native animals. 

I enjoyed making this so then people know not to bring in diseases pests or dairy products

I found it tricky to explain about Biosecurity

Next time I would change the colours

 

Heres my poster
