My Song

 Hi! today I made a song on chrome music lab. If you already watched the video you will notice it is a very continuous song, and if you haven't watch away! 

If you are wondering and pondering why I did this, here's why! I have signed up to a website called the Summer Learning Journey. The Summer want you to do more blog posts. Also if you are pondering about what I like about this song, it's definitely the repeating pattern!

Chrome Music Lab!

Summer Learning Journey

Sorry if the song didn't play the music, because recording a sound with a chrome and playing music on the chrome, normally the chrome doesn't pick up the sound it was playing. But you can copy the beat if you want to. Just use the link I gave you.

Scratch

 I have made a video on a website called scratch. Scratch is a website were you can code basically ANYTHING. I did scratch because my teacher told me that I have to create a maze to solve and get out of. I am proud that my maze is slightly complex. 

2021-2022 Summer learning Journey

 Today I am talking about the Summer Learning Journey. I have not done much, only cross words and and blob opera, and I have not finished cross words. I did cross words because I wanted to check it out. and I did blob opera because a friend recommended it to me. I was proud that I got to level three for cross words.

Blob Opera

Lockdown

 I think you all know we are in lock down. Its boring. Well today I will tell you about my week. This week I have done a lot of google meets. Google meets are like face time, but you can have more people in it. You can also present your screen. That is basically what I did.

The Olympic Games

 A few days ago I made an Olympic medal with Tinkercad. The medal had a diamond in it. On the diamond it had the Olympic rings. Above the rings it had a 1. Under the rings it had the word of the country were I live, New Zealand. Then a showed it to my teacher. My teacher said that I had to have something on the back of the medal. I don't know what, but I know one thing it has to have. The roman date. This is what it will be: Games Of the New Zealand Olympiad MMXXXVI. Do you know Roman numerals? do you know the other thing I need on the back? 

Roman numerals: 1: I    2: II    3: III    4: IV    5: V    6: VI    7: VII    8: VIII    9: IX    10: X

50: L    100: C    1000: M

How Much Water?

 Yesterday I learnt how much water there is on earth, because it was one of our water of life questions. On earth, if there was only one litre of water, the only water we'd be able to drink is about a drop. That's a one three thousandths  of 1000! The other water is either to far under ground, salt water or is frozen. Or in the pipes and sewers. Think about only one litre of water on earth! How would you cope?

School Term Two

This term Mrs Hickford taught us about lots of thing's. I am going to tell you ten of them. First was our star for the towns Matariki festival. We had to use house paint, which does not come off. I think it turned out good. 

Our class also did was a Kahoot which is a quiz app that teaches you hard riddles. There are also different categories that you can choose from. I think they are quite good. 

Mr Abbott taught us about animated GIFs. An animated GIF is a very short video with a changed background. It is very cool because you can change the background.  We also worked on Google music lab. Google music lab is a site were you can create music. You can change the type of music as well. It is very easy to make music. 

Because it was Matariki, we got to do art, make flax boat baskets and play games. For maths there was tidy numbers. Tidy numbers are basically rounding to the nearest ten. I didn't really need tidy number's, because I all ready knew how to round to the nearest ten. Another thing we did was spelling. For spelling I am doing contraction's and plural's this term. I think they are really good for me. Then there was Milo Morning Tea. Milo Morning Tea is when we have done something really good and you get to go to the staff room and drink Milo and talk about what we did in the weekend. I really like Milo morning tea. 

Our writing this term was persuasive writing. Persuasive writing is writing to persuade someone. I thought it was hard. Lastly, Sculpt GL. Sculpt GL is an app were you can sculpture a ball. Sculpt GL is my favourite one on this list.

Flax Boats

 Two days ago I finished my flax boat. A flax boat is a basket made of flax that looks like a boat. We are Going to use them for our school sausage sizzle. Some are small, Some are big. Some, are good, some, are not as good. 

Do you like our flax boats? Who's do you like best?                       Me

Matariki Animation

Luke and I will write the same thing today. Here is our animation.

It is about Matariki. We will let you see our animation instead of telling you more. Do you like to see Matariki? Have you seen it before?

Matariki Art

I  finished my Matariki art today. It is the southern lights and Matariki. I used some newsprint, a pencil,  scissors, a photo of a mountain, A4 black paper, pastel chalks, stars, hairspray, white mounting paper and a glue stick. I really like the final creation. Do you like it? 

Matariki

 Me and my class have been learning about Matariki. Matariki is 700 stars, but only 7-9 can be seen by the naked eye. It is also when Maori stop hunting and start planting and getting ready for spring. Here is a Matariki legend: Tawhirimatea was angry because of the separation of his parents, and got so angry his ripped out his eyes. He threw his eyes into space and they became stars. Here is the video:

NOTE: Read the English on the bottom of the video because it speaks Maori

E-ako

 Last week we learned about E-ako. E-ako is where you can choose a maths task along a thing called the pathway. There are at least 5 or 6 path ways. If a dot along the path way has a + it means you have to do more. if it has a flag on it it means your teacher wants you to do it. If you click a dot you can see how many points you can earn and start it. There are also three types of answers you can do: type answers move the answers and click the right answers. Do you want to do E-ako?  

Onomatopoeia Art

Today I finished my onomatopoeia art. First I choose my background colour. Then I choose the color of my letters. Then I checked if my letters fit on the news paper It took me 3 attempts on the news paper part. Then on my 3rd attempt I made a another small news paper but one of the teachers came up with the bending idea. The idea worked, just. Then I glued the news paper on then I glued the letters. Do you think you could do this with no instructions?  

Go Zen

At the end of last year and this year we did Go zen. Go Zen is something were you watch a video and sometimes answer questions. The one I most like is one were they give you tools that teach you to pause and think is this a good thought. We do Go Zen to, this year teach us well being. We also learnt that events cause thoughts that cause reactions. This is called ETR.

Nate Narritive Writing

This is my narrative writing. A narrative is a make-believe story. My narrative is about three animals fighting over who is the best.  A narrative needs to have a setting, carrictors, problem and soltion. you can also have a start and end.
 

NL Marching Ants

We did some computational thinking as a class challenge. We practised with counters and dots on the floor. When we felt like there was no way to do it, we got shown how to do it. Then we made the screen- castify. This is my answer. Have you seen other problems like this? Do you think you could answer this without watching the video? 

Chromebook pet

 I have made a Chromebook pet. It took lots of work but it turned out very good. What do you think? I did this to show you how to treat your device around all areas. Read the red box to see what to do.

I made this by making a background then adding the snake. then I added the keyboards and the computer screens and the baby Chromebook.

Fake Real Faces

The left one is real. can you find the circles on the right ones face? Can you find other thing that we didn't see?
 

Sun Dials

 Me and my sister made sun dials. we used a bowl to trace around as it was to tricky to use a pencil, string and bluetac. We have already Marked 1 pm.
