Summer Learning Journey!

 Kia Ora Bloggers! 

A few days ago I signed up for something called the Summer Learning Journey. The Summer Learning Journey is fun work that you do for fun in the holidays. I decided to sign up because I get very bored with my two annoying older sisters. This way I have something fun to do. Anyway, I say scrolling around the Summer Learning Journey and I saw the task for this week. It was called: Art Colouring Book-NASA Edition. So I clicked the link and it took me to a art colouring book where you colour in pictures from NASA. I coloured in a few and looked back on the Summer Learning Journey and it said to post all of your work. So here are some pictures that I did! I will put on the picture of what I was basing it on and my one on there so you can see how I did.

When I did this I found it fun and easy to do. Though it didn't take me that long I thought. The colouring above this writing was the Orbiter Discovery touching down after a mission onto the landing pad. What was your favourite colouring out of the two? Why? Comment below with your blog link so I can look at your blog as well. Bye!

The Better Bracelet!

 Kia Ora Bloggers! 

In inquiry we are doing something called The Design Process.We have to design a product that solves a problem. So we are innovators! Once we have all got a design and we knew the invention, we have to convince buyers (Our Teachers) to buy our product. We had to think about all the problems about our invention so nothing could go wrong. I decided to do a bracelet called the Better Bracelet. This bracelet can be customised to whatever pattern you want. The bracelet can have information stored onto it by an app on the person's phone. The information is mainly about if someone is or isn't a threat. If someone tries to take the person who is wearing the bracelet away, and the bracelet doesn't have their information on the bracelet, then the bracelet will call automatically call the police. 

Here is a storyboard showing what would happen:

When I did this I thought it was fun to make because I really enjoy making storyboards. I wish that I could add more squares, but I can't. My sources were Storyboard That. Try it out! It's loads of fun. What would your invention be? 

Amazing Athletics (Not Really)

Kia Ora Bloggers!

On Monday we had Athletics day. We did High Jump, Long Jump, Discus, Shot Put and Sprints. Personally, it was not fun. On a happier note, Long Jump was fun and I enjoyed so much! Also in Long jump we had it measured so we knew how far we jumped.  

When I did Long Jump I found it fun and enjoyable, but all the other sports were less fun. Shot Put and Discus was okay though. My sources were the internet (For the tape measure picture), and my experience that I had on Athletics day. Do you like Athletics day? Out of the sports I listed, what was your favourite?

SHARK ISLAND!

 Kia Ora Bloggers! 

On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, in Maths we were creating our very map called Shark Island. I did this before last year in lockdown, but it was still fun to create and colour in! I finished my map on Wednesday, and now I am posting about it. We were learning about position and coordinates. 

Here is a photo on my map:

When I did this it was really fun! When we did everything, we had to put and X on our map as a treasure chest! What I did find a bit tricky was finding room on my page! (I had to use my friend's hand because my hand went off the page!) My sources were the slide of instructions, my friend's hand, and grid paper. What would you call your island? What could I change next time? Comment below! 

Astro and Buttons Adventures Across Space!

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

Toady Me and my friend Amelia wrote a story about two girls who were very different and were going to space together. It has six chapters so far, but we are still writing it. So check back often to read our story! I really liked writing it with Amelia because we have good ideas. Amelia is the person who I did the Maori Commands screencastify which we did later on my blog. I wrote all of the chapters with Buttons, and Amelia wrote all of the chapters with Astro.

 Our sources were our brains and google docs. When I did this with Amelia I found it really fun and enjoyable. We both had brilliant ideas and we never disagreed with each other. I can't wait to finish the story off. Have you ever written a story with your friend? What could we improve on?

Organic Foods Plan!

 Kia Ora Bloggers!

For Literacy (Or Inquiry, it's a bit mixed up due to Lockdown) we have been learning about Genetically Modified foods, and Organic foods. When our knowledge grew on GMOs and Organic foods, our teacher decided that we would write a report on if we support GMO or Organic. I supported Organic.

Here is a picture of my plan:

  

When I did this I found it hard to come up with the subjects and text, but when I carried on writing, I got the words to just flow. My sources were Padlet, and my slide which I had written information on. What side would you support? What could I do better next time?

My Writing Starters!

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

Sadly we are in Lockdown. But I still wan't to show what I am doing for online learning! Yesterday in my online lesson, we did a story starter. I liked my story enough to share it with you. It is a slide that I will keep on editing because I will keep adding different story starters. I hope that you enjoy reading my story starters. Maybe they will inspire you to write your own story!

Here are my story starters:

When I did the first story starter, I found it hard to come up with the plot. But it was fine once I got going. My Sources were a picture that my teacher showed us, and google slides. Would you use my story starters? What would you change about my starters? Thanks for reading!
