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

bean experiment

Today in inquiry we planted a bean. the spheres that were involved were the geosphere, the hydro sphere the bio sphere and the atmosphere so basically all the spheres. the last group also grew a bean so we are having a competition.

Pictograph

Today in maths we learnt about pictographs. A pictograph is a graph that uses images and pictures hence the name pictograph. I already knew what a pictograph was so I did not learn anything.

I found it easy to have fun and make the graph but I found it hard to not have any fun.

Graphs

Today in maths strand we made bar graphs about a topic of our choice, I did Eye colour. we had to gather information and put it in a graph.Then we had to write three statements about our graph mine were brown is the most common eye colour, green and teal are the least common and hazel is the second most common. We also learnt that the lines on a bar graph are called axes and there is a Y axes and a X axes. The way I remember which one is which is which is " Y to the sky and X on the ground.

I found it hard to make the graph but I found it easy to have fun and write my statements

Mission to Mars

For inquiry this term we were challenged to create a mission to Mars. We watched some NASA videos to figure out what we need to survive on Mars. We  read lots of articles about Mars and what can grow there, what the air is made of etc. to survive on Mars we would need to figure out how to get oxygen , how to make houses, protection for radiation, heat sources, food , water and entertainment. this is my groups plans.

The marvellous moon landing

For the past few weeks we have been writing a moment in time. The moment in time we are writing about is either being Neil Armstrong or a kid watching it on TV. I chose a kid watching it on TV.

I found it hard to do the writing I found it easy to have fun.

3,2,1, BLAST OF

Today is the day of the first amazing and spectacular moon landing, I’m
sitting on my couch drinking hot chocolate in the comfort of my own home. I can see
the shiny new rocket blasting off. I can hear the engines starting and then suddenly
“ WOOSH “ the rocket was launching. I smiled and started shouting “It launched !
It launched ! It launched. 

The rocket is about to land and I can feel a cold shiver down my spine. The house fell silent
just waiting for the legs of the ship to hit the ground. The legs hit the ground and I
sceamed” Apollo 11 mission accomplished”

I felt exhilarated It was amazing seeing the first moon landing, I felt like I was the most
special person on earth watching it happen live. I was squealing with joy as I was jumping up
and down. My face lit up as I heard “Neil Armstrong, we have landed “ 

I could see the dusty gray moon as Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. There were lots
of craters that looked like someone had dug out holes on a gray beach. Then I heard
“one small step for man, one big leap for mankind” . I was ecstatic, a tremendous smile
stretched across my face as I squealed with excitement.

Neil Armstrong got back in the rocket and, “BSHEEW” it blasted off again falling back
down to earth and “BANG” it comes down from the atmosphere and a parachute comes
out   and slowly but surely hits the water “ SPLASH”.

It was late at night and the moon was out I looked out the window and wondered
” will I ever be an astronaut like Neil armstrong, will I ever land on the moon or Mars or
any other planet.” I went to bed with a smile on my face, dreaming of the day I would land
on the moon.

Phonics flip book

For the past few weeks in phonics we have been learning about parts of speech. To learn about parts of speech I made a flip book. we learnt what a noun is, what a verb is, what an adjective, is what a pronoun is and what an adverb is. First we coloured in the flaps, next we cut it out and stuck it on a white piece of paper, Then we wrote what the words meant.

I learnt what a adverb an a pronoun was but I  already knew what a noun a verb and an adjective is.

I found it east to colour in the flaps but I found it hard to write in the words and meaning because I didn't know the meaning to adverb and a pronoun.

Then I transferred the measurements from my piece of paper to a drawing and I decorated it.

I found it easy to have fun using my imagination but I found it hard to  Kipper because he is  a kangaroo measure.

I find chinchillas cute and cuddly so I would look in the mirror and become happy because I would be cute and adorable.

I love animals and I would love to be a chinchilla.

chased by a fox. As rock grabs papers hand and his hand crumbles into tiny pebbles I smirk
and Announce

” It's the end for both if you paper beats rock remember, that's just how it works” 

They start running with me close behind I chop everything in my
path trees and when they are cornered I walk up slowly and cut paper, she faints rock grabs a
leaf and places it under her to pick paper up rock yells ”You’ve done it now” he ran up to me
