Tables Dash

Today I have played a really cool maths game called tables dash, this game you have to use your arrow keys to get up to right answer that is in the right hand corner. As you can see at the bottom, there is a list of times table that goes from 1x tables to the 13x tables ! I had a lot of fun playing this game because it would help me out with my times tables and I could learn quick too. 

Revision Challenges

Today for maths I have been playing an online maths game that you have to try and get the right answer to the times table. This can really help me with my times tables and I can learn quickly from them. This game provides some really challenging questions that I do not know, but I do have a go to see if I can get the right answer.

Character introduction

Today I have been creating this DLO about the Character Introduction for the Princess Bride. I used a google slide to create it. Each slide has a character and explains a bit about their role in the movie.

Shot types - DLO

Today I have created a DLO that shows what kind of shot types there are. They are involved in movies,E.P and others. My favourite type of a angle is a eye level because I now a bad thing is going to happen. My example is from the back to the future.

Cyber Smart

Today we had learnt how to be cyber smart on digital devices. We had to write down lists on what not to do. I have seen adds that says to click on it because we would win a million dollars, but luckily I have not been interested in them. I also learnt not to give your password,email,phone number, credit card number and your home address to any stranger around because it could lead to serious danger and also scams.    

Whats great about me

 

It's great to be me because I like being happy around people that I get comfortable with. E.G I like to be around with people that excite me with my learning, or I like to hang out with people that are normal and are themselves.   

Writing Challenge

Today I have started this challenge where we had to put apostrophes over words. Since I have already changed everything, here is an example of one that I have done so far. Do not - Don't. As you can see there is a big difference with Do not and don't. Don't have an apostrophe because it is letting you know it is a shorter word for do not. Also it tells you that there is a missing letter, and it is "O". The hardest part about this activity is that we had to try and find out what the shorter word was for the big number. 

Careers Job DLO

Yesterday LS2 had started creating a DLO about what jobs we want to do in the future. I decided that I wanted to be a police officer. If I was going to be a policeman I know that it is going to take a lot of money to get there. All I need to do is get great national standards, be really good at subjects also study a lot. You can actually get a lot of money doing this job which is over $27.05 an hour and $54.230 a week.

Kate Sheppard Sketch Note DLO Defining words

In Reading we had to define words that are related to the Suffrage movement. We also needed to write what we know about the suffrage movement, and other questions. CJ, Eric, Oh Hsen, Shannon and I have all worked together to complete this sketchnote. We talked about what it was and decided what we wanted to put for our answers.

Kate Sheppard DLO

Today Eric, OhHsen, C.J, Shannon and I created a google slide DLO about Kate Sheppard. We placed our questions onto a slide and wrote the answers on another slide. We all had a conversation about our learning and read facts together to put onto our DLO. What was challenging about this activity was to find the right information to put it onto our own words.

Dance LS2 Rewindable learning

Today lS2 have started learning our dance for our production at the end of the term. We were rewinding our learning from yesterday by watching our video. Ms Kirkpatrick put the song onto the TV screen so we could practice our dance and get it at the right beat. At the end we all shared our dance. I really enjoyed seeing group B's group, because the actions they were doing were really fast and it would look difficult if I was in their group.

Idiom writing Challenge

Today Zane and I have created an Idiom writing challenge. We started by researching idiom images so we could put them onto the DLO. When I was searching through images I came across to one that said hit the road. I knew that it was the one I was going to use for my DLO.  Zane and I  had a discussion to see if we were going to use it or something else. I learnt quite a lot of things about idiom. The hardest part about this writing challenge was trying to find an image because there were heaps of interesting ones I wanted to use. And the easiest part was writing down what it meant because I hear these words in some movies that I watch on Netflix.  

hyperbole writing challenge

Today I have created a writing challenge DLO about hyperbole. I had to create a paragraph about my unfortunate walk home. But I ended up doing a run back home. What was challenging is that I had to think of a sentence that has hyperbole into it. But now I have learnt new thing about what hyperbole is.

Winter learning journey, Blog

During the holidays there has been a really amazing winter learning journey program going on through out the cluster of manaiakalani. It was amazing to see other peoples blogging because I only got to comment on one them. We would like to give a really big thank you to Rachel Williams who was the person who told us about the winter learning journey. I was inspired and thought about it when the holidays had started. I also enjoyed exploring through the sites so I could blog then but I realised I was going to Australia I quickly did one after packing, but as soon as I came back I saw 4 or 6 comments from people which was  really awesome to see.

 

Suffragette movement DLO

 

In reading we have being learning about how women got equal rights. We watched a 14 minuet video about the Suffragette movement and we recorded our notes and learnt a lot of things about it. After watching the video we made a DLO and with our notes we had to write 25 words about the Suffragette movement. I have made this DLO with my reading group Eric, OhHsen,C.J and Shannon.    

Exploring myths and Legends.

In LS2 we have explored the myths and legend, I have use this website called story board that, to make a little story about how Maui brought fire to the world. The hard part about this was to choose the Characters so we could fit it in with our story. 

Cyber bullying DLO

Today I have created a DLO on 5 tips to witness bullying. I have watched some videos and info online and placed them into our own words. This would actually help people who get bullied online over the year.

Matariki DLO

Yesterday Te Wai and I started on a DLO that talks about the legend of Matariki and the six sisters. We went on our class site and watched a video about this task. I think that Matariki is really good thing for us to celebrate because its about celebrating a new year in Maori culture.

Rubbish

This is a histogram chart that shows info about how long it takes to make rubbish get erased. It mostly takes tin cans over 50 to 100 years, aluminum cans take 80 years to get erased. When it comes to plastic bags it mostly takes forever for it to disappear in the ground.

Current Events

Today me and Harlem made a DLO about. Ivory in China, Why they stopped selling ivory, and our opinions to what we think would happen next. We had to read five articles and put it on our DLO. My Opinion to this is why are they taking things without permission. They even want to do this because they kill elephants to get ivory, then they make it and sell them to get lots of money.
