Uru manuka learning journey

My favourite animal is a unicorn because they are mythical and magical. Unicorns are the symbol of Scotland and I love the country of Scotland because The flag is really cool. I think  that unicorns should be in every thing from videos to country flags.

Where in Christchurch

Today in maths we did directions. we had to do a map of where the school would be from or house.
I live close to my school so this was a lot easier than my friends because she lives in Kaiapoi.

I found it easy to have fun but I found it hard to draw it.

Parachute

This term in inquiry we did STEM. We had the options of vehicles, towers, bridges or parachute I chose parachute because it sounded funner. than the rest.Our parachute had to hold 10 grams or the weight of a Lego man.

First we got into groups I was with Nirvana, Keah and Aone. Next we planed our work. Then we started building. Last we tested it we did not get a chance to test it because we did not finish.

Our idea didn't work but we did not get to test out idea so we have no actual idea but I think it would not have work.

I found it easy to build the parachute but I found it had to work as a group.

Matariki animation

This week we have been studying Matariki. Matariki celebrates the Maori new year and a new harvest. Some celebrations for Matariki are Hangis and Family gatherings. In literacy we made an animation on the story of matariki mine is not finished but I hope you like what I have done so far.

I found it easy to have fun but I found it hard to do the animation

Digi awards

This term our school entered a contest called Digi award. Digi awards is something where you have a theme and you can win prizes this year the theme was Innovative Christchurch. There were lots of options fro what we could do animations ,I movies ,ads the hole lot but me and my group ( Reuben Carla and I ) chose A site. our site was about all the good things in Christchurch.

I had fun doing this because I got to work with my friends but I found it hard to make the site.

PB4L Reflection

Today in home room time we did a reflection  on PB4L ( positive behaviour for learning). We did this because it is the last day of term and we needed to set goals for next term. I enjoy reflecting on things and making new goals.

I found it easy to set goals but I found it hard to not have fun.

Said the boring word

This term in phonics we made an animation about the word said. We did it because a lot of us use said instead of other words like exclaimed or cried.First we decided what our animation was going to have in it ,next we started working, then we finished and blogged it.

I found it easy to have fun and work but I found it hard to do the animation
