Coopers Beach Camp

I have done a google slide show of ow coopers beach holiday.

Coding with Scratch Jnr

I have been learning to use Scratch Jnr for coding.  I have made a video to show you my projects.  Sorry it was my first time learning how to do this so the video takes a while to start and then a while to stop at the end.  Next time I will get better at my starting and stopping times. 

Gala Video

W.A.L.T. create a video using trailer on our i-pad. We had to ensure that we spelt all our words correctly the first time as it is tricky and time wasting to correct them. We had some of our photos deleted about our Gala day which was really disappointing but any way our creative learning was more about the process rather than the final product. The most important thing was that our class learnt so much about creating products to sell for profit at our Gala. We made $670 which was FANTASTIC for our camp to Cooper's Beach later in the month.



         

Coopers Beach

W.A.L.T. create books using Book Creator. We are going to Cooper's Beach for a Camp next month. I learnt how to insert backgrounds and I now know it is easier to spell words the first time correctly rather than editing my work.

My Holiday

W.A.L.T. write a recount using language features.

 My Holiday
 On Monday at 8 o'clock in the morning, I went to my friends house with my other friend and we went inside seat away because I was cooled. She want for me to came over because… She was going to her Dad's house and she wanted to spend time with me. When I was at her house we made some slime out of condenser and cornflour with blue food coloring and I ask if we can make heaps? After we went for a swim in Bay of Islands College pools it was shivering cold but then I started to have fun when we had to go somewhere in Paihia! When we got in Paihia we went to the place where you get some things for $ 5.00 or $ 10.00 in one shop. The thing that I got was a piece of soap that is like cup cake with a flowers on top, it was as cool as a cooled pool. I think that was a best holiday that I had in years!

Amazing Side Shows

Today we started to put Screencastify in the side and we all had a  turn saying our  parts. When we were saying our parts our voices  had to  be as clear as the sky on a clear sunny day. Screencastify can be used in anything like the most beautiful thing in the world.

Cross country goals

I.A.L.T.stared challenging my myself in running 3 or 4 times around the Golf Club.
  How, when we were making the green screen the first thing we had to do was, we all had to run around the field. Then we had to run miss  G Tolled us that we had to run on ether side of her.
   When you run don't want for your friends. On that day I learned that day that it does not matter if you came last it's all about having fun. 

Alliteration Critter

W.A.L.T. write an alliteration describing a relationship between two creatures. We used a shared Google Doc to write our alliteration. In a shared Google Slide we had to add a background then inserted png images of the critters.

Time---How Long does it Take to do Tasks

Fractions

W.A.L.T. to make a fractions wall. First we had to cut twelve pieces of paper the same length.  First we glued one whole strip, then we folded another strip in 1/2 before cutting it in half and gluing it on our wall. We repeated this process in 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12 this. We saw patterns when we cut 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/12. We saw another pattern when we cut 1/3, 1/6 and  1/9.  We saw another pattern with 1/5 and 1/10.  When we were making it we had to make sore that all the strips were exactly the same length as the first one at the top. 

Hedgehog (Tuatete) Whanau

I created my Tuatete Whanau one night because I was bored. My Aunty and I gathered pine cones from the bush near her place. One night we painted them, the next night we drilled holes for the eyes and legs. Last night we put in the toothpick legs and eyes. Afterwards I made a nest with moss and pebbles. They have a cherry to eat, I hope they like it. Mum really loves my hedgehog family. I am looking forward to creating some more creations with pinecones.

My Amazing Weekend

     My Amazing Weekend  

On my amazing weekend, well at the start of it I got yelled at, because I wanted to sleep, but my mum wanted me to get up, so she, yelled and she yelled. So finally I got up.

Then…      I zoomed past my mum as fast as a cheetah and went to go and get dressed and brushed my tiny teeth. Suddenly I jumped up to give my kitten Kitcat a cuddle. I received lots and lots and lots of sloppy kisses.

Then I went to go and play with my dog Honey for a while on the deck. After a time I went go to give my mum, dad and Jordon some big sloppy kisses and cuddles. I gave my mum and dad a kiss and my brother the biggest cuddle in the world.  Then I shouted out and said, “NEXT WEEK I’AM GOING TO AUCKLAND!” but my mum said, “Shoosh Jade!”  “OK!”

I.A.L.T. write a recount of my weekend. I learnt to reread my writing and made sure it made sense, had correct punctuation and language features.

Test for you: Can you find the simile and the alliteration?

Rocket Launching Experiments

Imogen and I researched how we could launch our own rocket. We had to do a variety of experiments before our rocket actually launched. In the first experiment we put the lid on too tightly. In the second experiment we nearly drowned Shirley. In the third experiment the lid was too loose and the rocket only launched 30 cm off the ground. In our final experiment we learnt that you should not launch a rocket under a roof.

Mahia Rocket Inquiry

For my inquiry I.A.L.T look up about the rocket that got launched from Mahia but did not get into space... The rocket was made by my friends dad and his friends helped him to get it good.

I created a DLO that shares my ideas about the learning: eg, a video, diagram, infographic etc	Reflected on my learning: My post has my new ideas and what I enjoyed or found really difficult I’ve shared what I think my next steps are, what I’d like to know more about, and what I might do differently next time
Impact	I have explained the learning I did Most of my ideas can be seen I included a photo, image or screenshot	My title is unique or catchy My DLO is my own creation, makes sense and adds more information My post may include embedded html content e.g. collage, video, Google Slide, animation etc	My post shows WHO I AM as a learner and is unique to me. My information and ideas help my audience to understand the learning, [and there’s a link to this activity to my class learning site] For my DLO, I (or my group) made all of the learning being shown from scratch
Punctuation	Some of my spelling and punctuation is not right My post might be hard for the reader to understand	I have checked my punctuation and spelling I have asked a buddy to read my post, made corrections and I cannot see any mistakes	I’m confident all my spelling and punctuation is correct and it makes sense for my readers, they will be able to read it easily
Layout	My font sizes and colour may be different and need making the same My images or embedded content might not fit properly I may not have used labels or a title on my learning blog post.	I previewed layout to see how my post would look and changed it where I needed to Font size and colour match I’ve used a title & labels   If I’ve used other people’s work or thinking I have shown the source or attributed it to them	Media/html content is checked e.g. size, position, and appears when post loads My labels and title are specific to the learning & help people searching my blog I am beginning to use scheduling for publishing so my posts don’t all come at once

  All the Students in Te Moana have recently begun their own blogs. They are all at the beginner blog stage now but we are all setting our goals to become Smart Bloggers by the end of the year. Please check our blogs all the time to check how we are learning to improve.

Our Hoe

At the beginning of the year we wrote our hoe for Te Moana class as well as how we collaborate and care for others throughout the school as well as throughout life. We have just revisited it, and discussed the questions with greater meaning.

Our Kawa of Care

I.A.L.T. I was learning about ways to take care of my new Chromebook. I am learning how to be a Cybersmart learner.
