gymnastics reflection

For the past few weeks in Hur 5 we have been working on gymnastics. I really enjoyed doing both the floor and the one where you jump of a mini trampoline onto a mat. I learnt how to do a flip on the parallel bars. Overall I think I did pretty well but I defiantly had a few things I needed to work on like building up my confidence so i can do things better along with building up my upper body strength. If I had longer to work on my gymnastics i would work on the bar because I don't have enough upper body strength to lift myself over the bar properly.

At some point I will put some photos on and explain them and what I was doing in them

Badge of honour

Today in Hur 2 we read a story called Badge of honour and we had to answer a series of questions here are mine.

1.Isaac's personality is quite shy but easily excitable he is a very kind person just trying to get on with his own business and does not want to interfere with anyone else.

2. The school captains are Fai and Jess for the girls and Thomasi and Isaac and their roles are to keep them in line and make sure they are doing the right thing and being safe.

3. I think Fai doesn't really like Thomasi because he isn't very nice and is selfish.

4.The impression that the author gives of Fai is a good person but thinks more about herself than anyone else .

5. The advice I would give to Isaac would be that he should stand up for himself more because he is a good kid. 

The bullet

Today in Hur 2 we read the bullet and made a DLO of some sort I decided I would remake the cover using canva. Canva is  good online site where you can design anything. Here is the cover that I made.

The bullet

Today in Hur 2 we read a book the book we read was The Bullet And we had to answer a series of questions to do with that book here are the questions from the book I read.

Rodney does not care what it was used for because he found it and it makes him fell like he has more power over the bully's because he has a bullet.

The dude is with the police now because he was trying to sell smokes to someone underage and he has probably sold them before.

He doesn't look cool any more because he is with the police and he isn't wearing his glasses.

I agree with her because I think she is telling the truth.

I think he learnt that a bully is a bully no matter what but you can stand up for yourself and others.

The authors purpose was to show that life can be tough but if you stand up for yourself you can do anything

My Favourite animal

I have written a poem specifically a haiku poem. A haiku is a Japanese poem traditionally about nature but nowadays it can be about anything. Haiku's also have syllables and 3 lines line one has 5 then line 2 has 7 line 3 has 5



Through sapphire waves

the sea acrobats

activity one summer learning journey teaser week

Today I made another pepeha, but this time on biteable and I thought it ended up being cool. the song I used for it was This is me. bitable is an app were you make videos using text and already crested scenes. I found it tricky and difficult to wait for it to load but easy to have fun and enjoy it.

here is the link to my pepeha so you can watch it

cyber spys, Identifying fake websites and emails

Today in cybersmart we were looking at how to identify if websites and emails. we came up with a few diffrent ways we looked at thus webise about a rare tree octopus. in the start we all thought it was real but once we did some back up reasearch we could tell it was fake.

ways to figure out i9f it was real of fake

make sure there is HTTPS

if the lock is not there it is fake

if it is to good to be true dont belive it.

Is It Real ?

today we made images of our selfs in a spisific place to see if other people knew if it is real or fake.
I had fun makeing and taking the photos, but I found it hard not to laugh.

but is it real, or not.

Days of the week ( in maori )

Today in maori we made a puzzle on jigsawplanet. jigsawplanet is a site that you can make jigsaws or puzzles on. You are able to use diffrent shapes, images, and you can make it your own. While you are making you puzzle it tells you how much you have done and it times you.

I had fun making the puzzle and I would use it again. but I found it hard to make the puzzle.

How I will work on the mat

This week in homeroom time we have been working on how we will work in diffrent spaces like the wet space, the mat, independentty and the campfire/ big mat. I chose to do the mat. I made a DLO on google drawings. I had a lot of fun making my DLO. I found it easy to have fun but I found it hard to make the people.

Graphs

Today in strand math we made graphs using google sheets. first we watched a video to teach us about how to make hem although I already knew how to make them, then we got on our chromebooks and made 3 graphs useing information we collected.The 3 graphs I made were a pie graph, a bar graph and a line graph.

I found it fun and easy making the charts and changing the colours fonts and other things but I found it chalenging to not have fun.

Adverbs

This week in phonics we have been trying to find adverbs. An adverb is a word that describes a verb or an adjective. we tried to find one for each letter of the alphabet the only ones I didn't find were one for U,. X,Y and Z.

I found it easy to have fun and work with other people but I found it hard to find adverbs.

Biteable

For the past few weeks in cybersmart we have been exploring other ways to show our work other than slides and drawings because thats just boring. I chose to have a play with Biteable. Biteable is a site that you can use to make videos. You can add music, images, text and even pick your own theme. But with Biteable you have a time limit of 3 mins. Biteable is such a fun tool and people should use it more often. The only downside is you have to have an upgrade to download the biteable.


I found it easy to have fun and pick a theme but I found it hard to get used to going of to get images and pick a new theme.

Sumopaint

For the past few weeks in cybersmart we have been exploring other ways to show our work other than slides and drawings because thats just boring. I chose to have a play with Sumopaint. Sumopaint is a drawing tool that has lots of different features but watch out you cant use the pro options because you have to pay for them. I think Sumopaint is a really cool tool to show your work and people should use it more often.

I found it easy to have fun and play with Sumopaint but I found it hard to get used to drawing on a chrome book and the different tools.

 

Fossil facts

for the past couple days we have been working on fossil facts. First we looked at some videos and found some facts, next we made a google drawing, then we put drawings and facts on it.

Canva

For the past few weeks for Maori we have been making a bookmark with the question " Ke te pehea to ahua o te rangi" (hows the weather in Maori). first we went onto Canva and chose the style info graphic, next we started making the book mark with a few answers. 

I found it easy to have fun, I found it hard to figure out how everything worked.

Pictographs

Today in strand maths we made pictographs. we answered question on a sheet to do with milk. we had to answer the questions using  the information we were given from the pictograph. Then we made our own pictographs.

I found it easy and fun to answer the questions But I found it challenging to write so much because my hand started hurting
