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!

Super Scooper

Kia Ora Bloggers!

Sadly we are in Lockdown, but I will still keep posting so you can learn about what I am doing for online learning. Yesterday, my teacher tasked me with the choice of three choices. I chose the second choice. The choice was to make a tool that you could use to scoop out potatoes. You weren't allowed to use tape, or glue or anything. You had to pretend that you were in older days where they didn't have all of that stuff.

Here are some photos of my invention:

What materials did I use?

I used a bamboo stick, a large shell, and some flax.

 

   When I did this I found it tricky finding everything that I needed to make my invention. The shell scoops out the ground to find the potato, and the shell also gets out the potato. Why did I wrap the flax round so much? Well, I cut the stick slightly at the top to wedge in the shell, so the flax is making sure that the stick doesn't break so easily. 

Welcome Back to Term 3! The Olympics.

 Kia Ora, and welcome back to my blog!

The holidays are over, we are back in school! This week for Literacy, we have been learning all about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, (It's the 2020 Olympics because it was postponed and it was meant to be last year, but because of Covid 19.) I made a slide with all of the tasks that we had to accomplish at our own speed. 

Here is the slide:

I found this challenging at some parts, because I found not find all of the information that I needed on the internet. This slide is not done, so this slide will update loads. My sources were the internet, Google slides, Google sites, and the New Zealand Olympic site. What is your favourite Olympic sport? What are you learning about in school?
