June Reflection.

Today I was learning how to reflect on my learning in June. I enjoyed coming up with some memorable moments my favourite is the trip to the museum. What I found challenging is explaining about matariki and the facts. My digital object shows I can screenshot my June reflection.

Financial literacy

This week we were learning about financial literacy,a man called Callum came in to our class from ASB get wise. Financial literacy is learning about money, Which I think is really cool. We had to think of a goal to save up for and mine is saving up for a nintendo,and I had to think of some ways I could earn money so I could get one. What I am going to do is washing my dad's car, making a business. I created my one with my friend and we thought of vacuuming people's carpet, and mowing people's lawns. I enjoyed creating my business because I am good at vacuuming and I love doing it. What I found challenging was to think of what I was going to do to make $300 dollars!!! I hope you enjoy.

Matariki in different countries.

This week for reading we were learning how to compare and contrast including Matariki There might be a couple slides not finished because they did not finish before thursday. I enjoyed discussing the differences and similarities with my group. What I found challenging was to explain about the orphan boys they call matariki that in the blackfoot tribe. My digital object shows that I can embed our slide.

My art

This week we were learning about Tom Fedro a chicago artist. My walt was use painting techniques,and my success criteria is long brush strokes,use both sides of the brush,use bright colours,bold lines,tints and shades to show light direction. Have I used all of those things? The girl we were painting is called it girl. I enjoyed doing the bold the because we had to use thin brushes and I love using thin brushes. What I found challenging was drawing the actual it girl and blending. Next time I would change the colours.

Math mesurments.

This week for math we started doing measurements. We had to measure a lot of things like our foot,doors,our arm span,and our wrist. We had to use measuring tape for our wrist's because rulers don't bend.  I enjoyed measuring with the metre ruler and the measuring tape because they are way more fun to use then rulers. What I found challenging was to measure my arm span with the measuring tape because we only had to people and it is easier to use with three people. My digital object shows that I can use a ruler,a meter ruler,and measuring tape. 

How do Emperor penguins survive in the cold.

This week for writing were were doing more explanation writing,I did it on penguins. I was aiming to use complex sentences in each paragraph and to use a comma in each phrase. Have I done those things? I enjoyed writing about penguins because they are my favourite Animal. What  I found challenging was to put a complex sentence in my introduction and summary. My digital object shows that I can copy my  google doc.

An Emperor penguin is a flightless bird. They swim in the arctic ocean and swim in the water that is 28.8c. They survive by breeding,raising young and eating.

Where do Emperor penguins live?

Emperor penguins live in Antarctica and sleep on their bellies. Unless it was at the zoo, you would never find a penguin somewhere else other than Antarctica.

How do penguins survive in the cold?

Penguins have thick skin and lots of blubber, trap heat inside the body keeping the Emperor penguin warm.

What is huddle time?

Emperor penguins gather close together in  big groups called huddles. Most of their body is exposed to the cold. This cuts their heat loss in half. The largest huddle ever, had about 5,000 penguins. When in a huddle,their temperature is 37 c and the air outside of the huddle is below 30c.

How many layers do penguins have?

Emperor penguins have four layers of feathers that provide protection from the cold wind. Emperor penguins have a small beak,small flippers,small legs, and small feet which means not much heat escapes. Emperor penguins body’s look larger than their head,making it look out of proportion.

Penguins may huddle together for many different reasons. This is the way Emperor penguins survive in the arctic. 

Theseus and the Minotaur.

This week for reading we were learning how to infer which means answering a question that does not have the answer but has a clue in it. And about Theseus and the Minotaur. We had to read the story and then complete the tasks down below. I enjoyed reading the book and about Theseus and working with my mates. There is some unfinished work on the bottom task because kids in my group weren't there. What  I found challenging was to animate the labyrinth which is a huge mase leading to somewhere. My digital object shows that I can discuss with my group and to embed my slide.

I agree with this statement because...	I disagree with this statement because...
Jakob A, I agree with this statement because he betrayed the princess and that does not make you a true hero.	I disagree with this statement because he betrayed the princess for a reason so people did not have to sacrifice their lives  anymore for the minotaur,and so people could have happy lives again.
Braden I agree  with his statement because he betrayed the princess and that does not make you  a true hero.	I disagree with this statement because people should not be getting sacrificed any more.
Willow I agree with this statement because he betrayed Princess Ariadne and betraying someone does not make you a true hero.
Michael I agree with the statement because he betrayed the princess and that does not make him a true hero.	I disagree with the statement because he betrayed the princess so that people would no longer have to sacrifice to the Minotaur.
Maddison I strongly agree with this statement because he betrayed the princess and that’s how we know he’s not a great and true trusting hero.	I disagree with this statement because he betrayed the princess and killed her so that others wouldn’t need to sacrifice their lives against Minotaur.
Tessa, I strongly agree with this statement because he betrayed princess `Ariadne. And he is not a great hero because he betrayed princess `Ariadne. And he is not the great hero	I disagree with that statement because theseus killed Minotaur and then there were no sacrifices. I think and everyone  should get a second chance
After our discussion, we thought that disagreeing with this statement would be a good choice because we agreed that people don’t have to sacrifice their lives for the minotaur and so people can have happy lives forever.

How planets work.

This week we were doing explanation writing, I did mine on planets. I was aiming to use paragraphs,rhetorical question for my title, and have a definition in my introduction. Have I done it? Tell me in the comments. I enjoyed writing about planets because I like telling other people like you, about anything!!! What I found challenging was to come up with a good conclusion I hope it sounds good. Next time I will try to put more information about planets.

A planet is a circle shaped gas giant,but some aren't, they are made of rock!

How does a planet work?

A planet functions by orbiting the sun. The way a planet orbits is by the sun pulling the planet by its gravity and causing it to curve.

How are planets formed?

Planets are formed from particles of gas and dust. Colliding and sticking together two form the planet. This happens by the particles moving really fast and acting like a magnet.

Why do  we need planets? 

These objects are important because they are the best places to contain life.

This is the way planets work,they are chemical reactions and they create the world.

My Greek halfblood.

This week I was learning about greek half bloods

I found it challenging to create a name for my halfblood.

I enjoyed making my halfblood with my mate james.

My digital learning object shows I can create an image using polyline

Next time I would put a background.

Christmas in Samoa.

This week we were learning how to infer and all about samoa because it is samoan language week. I enjoyed talking about what I do at christmas time and how other countries celebrate it and also sharing ideas with my reading group. What I found challenging was to get the information that I understand of the web. My digital object shows I can embed my doc and tell people about how other countries celebrate Christmas. I hope you like it!!!

Penguin sketch.

This week we were sketching which I think is really hard to do. I enjoyed drawing my penguin because it is my favourite animal and I love drawing or sketching animals. I found challenging to shade my drawing because I am only am god at using actual felts to colour in. My digital object shows that I can sketch a penguin. Next time I would sharpen my pencil so that the shading looks better. I hope you like it!!!

 

My sprite.

This week for cybersmart been learning about sprites and how to create it. A sprite is like a character that you can put in games that you create on scratch. Cool right. I enjoyed picking all my colours for my character. And also hard at the same time. It was my first time using it so it is nt the best. I found challenging to draw in a straight line. I find it  tricky drawing on a computer. My digital object shows that I can create a sprite.
