Wonder Project I’m Lovin’ It!

 Over the past few weeks we have been doing Wonder Project. Today is week 6 which means we get to build our rockets. We had to bring some 1.5 litre bottles so we could start building our rockets. We first had to watch a video that explains what we had to do. It went easy to hard because I had to put cardboard pieces with hot glue on the bottle which didn't make our rocket fly. Did you ever get to participate in the Wonder Project?

Here’s my wonder project

Sharing My Knowledge on Inferencing

 This week we have been doing some inferencing. For example if the author says that the character is crying then they would write down ‘He had tears running down his face’ That is called inferencing because the author shows us but doesn't tell us. We also had conference groups before covid-19 had started again. We had to do nine questions, it went easy to hard. It was really hard when I started doing inferencing. Have you ever tried inferencing while you were reading? 

Here is my Google Slide that has the inference texts.

How To Create A Short Film

 This week we have been doing some filming. We first started off by watching some films that other people had created. We also watched a short film that our classmates did. After we were done watching we had to look at the success criteria to see what we needed to do in order to film. It was really easy because I created a film before. I felt like a director after I finished my script. I tried really hard to finish my movie planning. Have you ever created a short film before?

Here is the link to my planning:

Sharing My Knowledge on Wonder Project

This week we had some visitors called Gustavo and Troy. They came to our school to teach us about the Wonder Project. Wonder Project is something to make kids get excited in the future about rockets. When they got to our school they introduced themselves to us and told us what they do. Troy's job was awesome because he got to create some buildings and houses. Gustavo was doing science, they both work for the wonder project too. They said that they would come to our school again and do some activities for us. Have you ever done the wonder project?

Movie Making I’m Lovin’ it

Today in Te Ngahere we have been making movies for the Film Festival that was coming up soon. We were making a plan for our movie before we could start doing our filming. Our plan had to include a rocket launching. The title for my story is Alien Apocalypse. We had to get some ideas that didn't include a nuclear launching because we didn't have anything that looked like one. It was fun writing something related to a rocket launching. It was really easy getting ideas because I had already done some planning before writing. Have you ever written a story related to something to do with a rocket?

What Do You Think About Cross Country

Today in Te Ngahere our class has been practising for Cross Country. Cross Country is hard for some people because we had to run for a long time. We were only allowed to do Cross Country Practise at 1:45 but we couldn’t do it everyday. After it was time our teacher told us to stop what we were doing and told us that people who started with J-Z would be able to go outside. The practise was not the same as  last year because we had to run around our field. This year we had to do 30 seconds of each warmup. We had to do squat Jumps, mountain climbers, burpees, 10 high knees 2 press ups and a russian twist. It was hard doing the russian twist. After that we got to play some games, every game was chosen by our teacher. Have you ever been to Cross Country?

Narrative Writing I’m Lovin’ It

In Te Ngahere we got to do Narrative Writing. We had to choose a topic that was related to COVID-19. My title for my writing is “The Outbreak of Coronavirus”.  We had to do planning first before writing the story. We also had conference groups, they are really helpful for getting work done. I really enjoyed writing about something related to COVID-19. It was pretty hard at first but then I got some ideas and it went from hard to easy. Have you written a story related to Coronavirus recently?

Here is a link to my writing

Some Art I Absolutely Love

Over the past 3 weeks we have been doing Poupou Art. Poupou is a statue of a person who was really important. We first started by following the steps that were created for us. We used small paper for our practice, then we would follow the steps. After we finished our drawing we would go on a big piece to copy our drawing that we made. It was pretty hard at first because I never made a Poupou art before. What kind of poupou statue have you seen?

Sharing My Knowledge on Fractions

In Te Ngahere we have been doing Fractions. We had to learn about fractions first before we had to do a DLO (A Digital Learning Object is sharing something you have learnt). At first I found it really hard because I didn’t know what fractions were,  but since I  learnt how to how to understand  fractions, I know what the top and bottom numbers are. The top is the Numerator which tells us how many things there are and the bottom number which is the denominator tells us how many is there. Do you like learning about fractions?

Here is the DLO that I made to explain how I solved two questions: Digital Learning Object

The Trick Shot Challenge

In Te Ngahere we have been doing Trick shots. We had to make a trick shot course and try to make the ball go for more than 5 seconds. It didn’t matter if it went in the cup it only matters about how long it went for. Our group wanted to make a long course because they thought it was going to land in the cup. It was hard setting up the course because the books that we had setup kept falling from the people blowing. Do you think doing trick shots is easy?

Learning About New Shortcuts

Today in Te Ngahere we have been doing Cybersmart. We had to make a copy of a google slide our teacher made and we had to write down the key shortcuts that were on the google slide. We were also learning new stuff like the keyboard shortcuts we never knew. I really enjoyed making this because I learnt a lot of new stuff just like how to reset your zoom. I really hope you enjoyed reading my blogpost. Bye!
