September Reflection

Today we did our September Reflection. We reflected on what we did this month. We wrote about what book we read, the zombie apocalypse, speeches and more. I enjoyed writing what we did this month. I found nothing tricky. Here is my September Reflection.

 

Design your own alien!

This week for reading we have been learning how to identify the characters and/or author's point of view. With our reading we have been doing tasks about aliens! We got to pick a task to do. There was... Create a wanted alien poster, Make your own alien spaceship and design your own alien. I chose design your own alien. I did some facts about my alien. I enjoyed making the alien and doing facts about it. I found nothing tricky. Here is my alien!

Climate Change

For the past 2 weeks we have been working on our speeches. We have finished and everyone has read theres out. We are waiting for the results and sees who goes into the semi-finals. We took a screencastify of our speech. I did not want to to my pepeha on the screencastify because there is personal information. I enjoyed taking a screencastify and saying my speech. I found it tricky to ignore my friends because they kept poking there hands in the screencastify. Here is my speech!  

Aotearoa Place Names

This week for cybersmart we have been doing Aotearoa place names. Because it is Te Reo Maori week. We did this task. We had to use motes to pronounce them. We also did a little quiz. Did you figure it out before you saw the answer? I enjoyed pronounce Taupo and make the little quiz. I found nothing tricky. Here is my Slides.

Shapes In Te Reo

This week for maths we have been doing a scavenger hunt. Because it is Te Reo Maori week we have been finding the shapes in the classroom and taking a photo and putting them on a slide with Kylah. This activity was supposed to be outside but because of the weather we couldn't. I enjoyed doing this with my friend, Kylah and finding the shapes in the classroom. I found it tricky to find some of the shapes. 

Here is our slides.

Social Justice Week

This week is social justice week, Te reo Maori week and Conservation week. We have been Focusing on all of them. For reading we have done 3 things. We have done a social justice doc, no girls allowed and the beatitude poster. The to docs we did, we did them as a group. We both wrote down what we agree about and what we don't agree about. We had to do both of them. We also did a beatitude poster with all of the beatitudes. I enjoyed making the Beatitude poster because It was nice finding animals that show them. I found it tricky to do the no girls allowed. Here is the things I did.

Is Mr Wolf Guilty Of 1st Degree Murder?

This week we have been learning to plan and structure persuasive writing because it is coming close to speeches. We have a plan of why Mr Wolf is guilty! We have two statements about why Mr Wolf is guilty and why he is not. For the structure of the speech we had to choose from why he was guilty and why he was not. I chose that he is guilty. It has more interesting than non guilty. On my plan and writing I have highlighted orange the points that is on my success criteria. 

I enjoyed writing and planning this piece of writing because it will get me ready for my actual speech.

I found it tricky to add to my speech because I had no idea what to add to my writing.

Here is my plan and writing. 

Fact 5 Poster - Turtles

Today for reading we have been learning to apply knowledge. We had to create a fact 5 poster about turtles and draw a realistic drawing of a turtle. I did the fact poster first and left the drawing for last. I enjoyed drawing and colouring the turtle. I found it tricky to find facts about turtles.

Here is my fact poster and turtle drawing.

Science Experience

Today for science we had some really fun tasks. We got to chose from 2 of them or both. I did 1 and videoed and took a photo of the stuff you need. I tried the paperclip experiment but it kept sinking. The pepper experiment was cool. When the dish soap touched the surface all the pepper went to the sides creating a circle. I enjoyed doing this experiment because I have not done one of the science tasks during lockdown.

I found nothing tricky. 

Here is my photo and video.

Cats VS Dogs

Today for reading we were learning to apply knowledge and opinions. We had to make a statement about Cats VS Dogs. I think they are both animals are amazing but I picked the cat. We had to try and prove the reader that the cat is better than the dog. I enjoyed finding arguments about both animals. I found nothing tricky. Next time I would try do dogs.

Here is is 

Fathers Day Card

Because it is Fathers day, we have made cards to celebrate our dads. I think it turned out really good. I also think my dad will love this card. I had to try make it 2 times because I kept failing but I never gave up. In the end I did it. I enjoyed making this card because I made it with all my love for my dad. I found it tricky to do the card because there we so many steps and folds.
Here is my Fathers Day Card.

Multiplication Chart

Today for maths we are doing a multiplication chart. We had to follow what colours the times table chart is. We also had to watch a video to find the colours. I enjoyed finding out that on a slide with tables you can highlight them instead of doing them individually. I found it tricky to write this blog post because I did not know what to write. Here is the Chart

Pen Pal letter

Today for reading we were learning to apply knowledge. Because of lockdown we have haven't been able to see our friends. So we are writing them a letter. We can send them an email or post it in the mail. I chose to email it. And the person I chose was Maddison. I wrote about all the things I did during lockdown and i'm hoping to hear back from her. I enjoyed writing to her because she is one of my best friends. I found nothing tricky. Here is my letter i wrote to her.

Stop Motion Animation

Today for one of our tasks we did a stop animation. This was one of the best tasks today. When I got to this task I thought about how I would do it. I think my stop motion animation turned out really good. When you see it I think you will be amazed how it turned out. I did not think it would turn out so good. I found It easy to make the stop motion animation. I found it tricky to keep my shadow out but it did not work well.

Here is my slide and video

Spelling Test

Today for our learning we have been doing spelling. For spelling we had some slides to do. I got someone to chose 10 words for me to practice. On the slides we had to different variety of things. The rainbow words were the hardest. I got a 10/10 with my spelling words. I found it easy to do the slides. I found it tricky to do the rainbow word slide because it took so long.
