Kereru's Barbeque!

Kia Ora Bloggers!

Guess What?! Today we got a visit from someone none other than... Karyn Wilson! I was excited when our teachers told us that we were going to have a visitor, because we don't normally get visitors. At the start of the day, I forgot that we were going to have Karyn come to our school, so it came to me as a surprise when I was sitting on the mat eating my morning tea and this unfamiliar voice started talking. Karyn said that she got her insparation to write her first book when she was at Le Bons bay. I've never been there, but the illustrations on Karyns books helped me to realize that it is a beautiful place. Have you ever been to Le Bons Bay?

Decimals!

Hello Blogging World!

Guess what we've been learning for math? No, it's not addition... No, it's not multiplication... We've been learning about decimals! When we started doing our work on decimals, I thought that I already understood them, But now that we have finished our work, I have learnt a whole lot more about decimals then I did when we started! When it came to presenting my work, I decided to insert a few examples. I chose to insert the examples on google slides because our work was assigned to us on google slides in the first place. At first, I found the work easy. You would think that it got harder, but it didn't, because the more work I did on decimals the more my knowledge on them increased.

Amazing Addition!

Kia Ora Bloggers!

Today for home learning I chose to blog about myself teaching my Dad one of the methods that we have been using for math. I was excited when I saw that this was one of my options for home learning because I would not only be teaching my dad a new method, but I would also be learning one myself. In order to do this, I asked my dad to give me a random equation (addition). Once he had given me the equation, I solved it, using the method that I had been taught at school. I decided to present my work on Google Slides because I can add more slides, which means more space for my work.

Is Maths and Invention or a Discovery?

Hello Bloggers!

Once again I got to choose what I posted about for my home learning. I decided to create a blog post on a topic called 'Is Maths an Invention or a Discovery?'. For this activity, I had to write down what I thought in a creative way. I chose to present my work on Google Drawings because I know how to use Google Drawings well. Here is my presentation. It would be great if yo could give me some feedback on my work!

Slitherly Snake!

Hello Blogging world!

Today this blog post is goig to be about the game that I have created for maths. I was really excited when we (my group and I) were told that were were going to make a game, on Decimals. Making the game was really easy, and if you want to have a go, here is a link that will will take you straight to the website. In order to create a game, you first have to: 

• Make an account
• Once you are signed up (or signed in for those of you who already have an account), you will see around the top of the website (actually, maybe three quaters up) will say 'Games'. If you can't find it, it is in between the two words at the top that say 'Learn' and 'Courses'. Once you find the word 'Games', then you click on it.
• When you click on the word 'Games', it will come up with more options. One of the options should say 'Build Games'.
• Then scroll down, and choose what game you wnat top make!

I decided to make the game 'Slitherly Snake', and since the topic was maths, I decided to make it based on decimals. Here is a link to my game. It would be amazing if you could try the game out and give me some feedback on it!

My Splendiferous Speech 😜 !

Hello Blogging world!

Last Wednesday everyone in my class (Including me) created a speech. I was quite excited to create my speech becuase... Well... I just really like making my speech and trying to make it into the finals, even though I get really nervous before sharing my speech to the class (who doesn't?). Luckily, I made it to the finals for my speech, and I am so nervous! Anyway, here is a video of my Splendiferous Speech!

Our Brilliant Bridge!

Hello blogging world!

Today I worked in a group with my friends, Alan, Albin, Hasan and Eamon, and together we finished building our bridge. This was our last day for creating our bridge, and we found it a pretty hard challenge becuase it took quite a while for us to make it. Even though we found it hard, we still had lots of fun making it. Sadly, our initial plan didn't work, so we decided to build a different bridge with the things that we had already made. In order to make the bridge, we were only allowed to use:

•  5 meters of tape.
• 2 meters of string.
• one hundred popsicle sticks.

I decided to present my blog post on google slides because I had quite a few photos, and the thing with google slides is that you can add more slides. More slides equals more space, and more space means that I can add all of the photos in. It would be great if you guys could give me some feedback on how you would make a bridge if you were told to.

Marvelous Maths😜!

Hello blogging world!

This week we have been working on these special projects for maths. We call this week maths week, and we got to choose what we work on. my friends Albin, Alan, and Hasan have been working me in order to create a bridge made of popsicle sticks. Here are some images of our plans, work, and us working. Bye!

My Magnificent Book Report!

Hello blogging world!

Today for home learning, I chose to create a book reaport on a book that I have recently read. I chose to make the book report on a book called 'The Worlds Worst Children 3'. I decided to present my book report on a Google Drawing because it had just enough space for me to fit my work in. Bye!

Our DLO #2

Hello Blogging World!

Today I had to create another DLO. This time it was for the book we were reading for our Novel Study. Novel Study is basically when the teachers give us a book to read. Once we have read what we are told to, we then answer some questions that they have set up for us on our devices. You wilI notice that there are two books, one is called 'My Sister Lives On The Mantlepeice', and the other is called 'The Boy in Striped Pijamas'. I decided to create an animation on the book that the teachers gave me, 'My Sister Lives On The Mantlepeice'.

Our DLO

Hello Bloggers!

Today I had to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) on the book that we have been reading for Novel Study. The book is called "My Sister Lives On The Mantlepiece". Novel study is when we are given a book to read, once we have read what we're told, we answer a set of questions on our devices before doing an activity. I chose to work with my friend, Zack, and we created a brainstorm on what we know about the book. Happy Blogging!

My Fabulous Family!

Hello Bloggers!

Happy Blogging!

Shout Out #2

Hello Blogging world!

Today for my blog I have decided to make another shout out. You may or may have not have realized that last time I used this thing called ScreenCastify. I realized that it wasn't as clear as my normal camera (on my chromebook), so I decided to change it. This was so that the video was clearer. Anyway, this shout out goes to my friend, Alvin, for always being super nice and for overall being an amazing friend!
