Cool colouring.

Hola bloggers!

So a few days ago I signed up for the summer learning journey. This is the first task we can complete. It is a NASA drawing that we color in on our Chromebook. I found this really easy but fun to pick all the colors. I hope we do some maths for tasks. If you come top 3 in your school you get a prize. Last year there were some pretty good prizes. Have you signed up for the summer learning journey?

Down here are some other colorings I did:)

Adios and Merry Christmas!🎄🎄

 

Super swimming

 

Kia Ora bloggers!

Last week and this week we have been doing swimming lessons at QEll. I have really enjoyed swimming in the pool especially on hot days! So this week is our last week of doing swimming 🙁 so we are doing really fun stuff. On Tuesday we did life jacket day on Wednesday we did boat day on Thursday we did first aid kit day and today (Friday) we are doing pajama day! 

 Wednesday was my favorite day! It was boat day. This picture is kind of what we went on. We got on the boat safely and then we learned a bit about how to be safe on a boat. Then one by one we did our backward plop on the water. I really enjoyed doing it. Then we did a circle and tilted our heads back. This is for if you are ever in trouble and people can see you. We also did lots of other cool stuff.

Anyways I have a few questions for you. Have you ever done school swimming lessons? Have you gone on an inflatable boat? Have you worn a life jacket before? 

Anyways Adios bloggers. Merry Christmas!🎄

Magic Monchie

Kia Ora bloggers!

This term we are doing Kiwi Innovators. Now that we have done that we are now going to do kid innovators. Me and my friend Sophie are doing monchie, which is Moro and Crunchie mixed in either vanilla or chocolate ice cream. I have really enjoyed doing this and found it fun to design things like posters and logos. Have you ever made a different ice cream flavour before?

Magnificent Monchie:)

 

Kia Ora bloggers!

This term we have been learning about kiwi innovators. Now that we learned about some Kiwi innovators we are now moving on to kid innovators. The task is to create something to show to the teachers and they will say if they will buy it or not. Me and my friend Sophie and working together. We thought of the idea of creating a new flavor of Icecream called Monchie. Monchie is Moro and crunchy mixed in chocolate or vanilla ice cream. Me and Sophie are probably going to make it homemade. have you ever made your own ice cream before?

Until next time, Adios bloggers:)

Wonderful Wonder Book Study

 

Kia Ora bloggers! It's been a while. 

This term in reading we are doing novel studies. I picked Wonder as the book I would like to read. I chose it because I thought it would be great to learn about. Do you know Wonder is based on a real person? I have completed a few activities but the word meaning activity is a work in progress. I really enjoyed doing the book cover activity! Can you think of a few names that could sit at the Summer table? 

Adios bloggers!

Exciting Explanation Writing.

 

Kia Ora bloggers:)

This term we are learning about explanation writing so I picked this topic to write about. I choose how a hurricane works because it is interesting and fun to learn facts about it. Did you know that there have been 7 hurricanes this year so far? A piece of explanation is when you explain how something works. Can you remember what wind speed can pick up too?

Adios Bloggers:-)

Marvellous Mouldy Must Do's!

Kia Ora bloggers! Wow this was the first few days back at school since lockdown.

This week on Monday we had a mouldy must do slide that we had complete. This slide was for our inquiry. Our topic is food and mould. I loved doing the diagram of an apple when it moulds. I found these activity's really fun to do. Have you ever accidentally eaten mould? I have, it tasted gross!

Adios bloggers.

Magnificent Multiplying Math Work.

 

Kia Ora bloggers!

On Wednesday I worked on this slide for maths.  Do you know how to multiply fractions? It's very simple times the top two numbers together. The answer would go where the numerator would be. Then you times the bottom numbers together and put the answer on the denominator and that would be your answer. I love doing fractions, especially multiplying fractions. 

Adios bloggers:)

Exciting Experiment.

 

Kia ora bloggers! I still can't believe we're in lockdown. Anyways this week the teachers in Korimako decided to start our inquiry. Our inquiry topic is about food, and how long does it take to root or grow mold. The experiment we are doing at this moment is what liquid keeps an apple nice and fresh. Is it vinegar, lemon juice, salt and water, or an apple by its self?  I thought the vinegar would keep it nice and fresh but I checked this morning and now I think it would be the lemon juice. What liquid do you think will help the apple keep its freshness?

Adios bloggers.

Tinirau And The Whale.

Kia Ora bloggers! Wow can you believe we're in lockdown?

My Volume Work.

 

Bonjour bloggers,

This week Mr.Bell's math group has been working on volume. 

Volume is when you times height by width by depth. These past few weeks we have been learning our area and perimeter of odd shapes. My favorite so far is volume. We have only been finding the volume of easy shapes like rectangles and cubes. Have you learned how to do volume yet?

Interesting Information report about Amelia Earhart.

 

Kia ora bloggers,

This term korimako has been working on information reports. The first information report I did was the WW1 Christmas truce. When we finished that we were allowed to do another information report. I choose Amelia Earhart because she was a person I was interested in. Amelia is a woman who flew planes and wanted to travel around the world. Amelia has heaps of achievements. Amelia first got into planes when she was only 10. Can you remember how Amelia died?

Court Theatre Day

 

Bonjour bloggers.

This week we were so lucky to have some people come to Marshland from the Court Theatre. It was really fun to practise our acting skills. After we got back we had some tasks to do. This is my slide. My favorite task to do was about Syria and then the maths. My weekly timetable took me the longest. All the activities I included in my timetable were all my favorite subjects of hobbies. If you could make your own school timetable, what would you choose to do?

Adios Bloggers.

Magnificent Maori classroom

 

Kia ora bloggers! This term I worked on my Maori classroom.

This was really fun to do.  We used google draw for the background and most of the shapes. I also used google for shapes and then used Maori dictionary for the words. Did you know that a mat is called whāriki? 

Until next time bloggers bye!

ANZAC War Activities.

 

Kia ora bloggers! 

Did you have a good holiday? This week Mrs. Kerin's literacy group has been learning about the world wars/ Anzac day. We got a set of activities to complete.  My favorite activity was world history or ANZAC Ted. Me and my friend Sophie helped each other. What interesting fact shocked you the most?

Until next time bloggers.

How can I be the best version of Myself.

This was really fun to do. Our questions were what have we learned? What does it mean? and how can I use this? If you click the link above you can check out my site.

What was your favorite question to answer?

How to write a professional email.

Kia ora Bloggers,

Today we had a lesson on how to write a proper email. We first watched 2 videos and then looked at some slides to see how to write a proper email. Then we got told our task. It was to send an email to our homebase teacher and explain why or why not we think animals should be allowed on public transport. I definitely think animals should be allowed on public transport. We started on Gmail and once our teacher-approved we took a screenshot and put it on google draw. We then put what we needed in a professional email with arrows. Do you think pets should be allowed on public transport?

My Littering brainstorm.

Kia ora bloggers!

This week Mrs Kerin's literacy has learned about sustainability. Me Annebelle, Joy, Amy, Sophie and Maiyde are creating a plan to stop our school from littering. Yesterday me and Amy came up with an idea to write a script and show Kiwi and Pukeko about littering. I learned lots of facts! Did you know that we breathe plastic, we eat plastic and we drink plastic? Also, styrofoam takes 1,000 years to break down! And normal plastic takes 400 years, that's 4 generations! Do you have any ideas we could add?

Adios bloggers😁
