Indian Christmas traditions

Today I am posting about a DLO I made on how in India they celebrate Christmas. 

I enjoyed creating this project because I was able to learn a little about geomtrey. I also liked learning new things about a different country. 

I found it hard to find out more information about The things they do on Christmas day though.

I hope you enjoy and learn something.

Fun fact: The red background I pt on my project actually symbolises purity, fertility and prosperity.

Fake News; I mean real News

Kia Ora,

Today I am  blog posting about, My media report on fake news.

This term for Cybersmart we have been learning about Media and what it is. For this task we had to create a Fake news report, and then we had to post it to our blog. 

I enjoyed this task and creating it it didn't take me very long but it was fun.

Hope you enjoy.

Amazing Angles

 Hi Bloggers,

over half of term four we learnt about Angles, I enjoyed it and it wasn't very hard; it was easy to understand and I enjoyed learning about them.

Our task, once we had learnt all about Angles. Was to create a DLO about Angles and to teach others about it.

I enjoyed doing this, but it took me a while to do because I used Canva and somethings were por's so I had to change a lots of things in the end.

Hope you enjoy and learn something.

The Golden Verse

 

Aloha Bloggers, 

Today I am blog posting about my RE work.

First our teacher read us the bible passage from Luke Chapter 6 verses 27-42. 

Our teacher read us the Golden passage, whichc you will find out about in the video below, but then we had to create a DLO about it and what it means and we had to create an example of what it is.

I enjoyed this task and had fun making it, I hope you learn something and enjoy.

Commitment?

 Aloha Bloggers,

I have created a newspaper about how bishops and pries'st and deacons and vocations, how they are committed to their jobs and how they show it, and how they follow the rules.

My story is quite short but I didn't have to much to write about. I found this quite easy but fun as well. We have been finishing of work so this is the second to last thing I had to complete.

Here is my story. 

Kowhaiwhai and Koru

 Hello bloggers,

Today I will be sharing a quick blog post about Koru's and Kowhaiwhai.

Koru's are the most common design found in Kowhaiwhai patterns.  Koru is The Maori word for loop and they are shaped like a spiral Koru symbolises, New life, Growth, Strength and peace. Koru's are used in Maori art, carving and tattoos.

Kowhaiwhai's are usually found on roofs of Maori meeting houses, Kowhiawhai represents Maori history, and Family trees of the tribe. Ponga's are also a type of plant and design and they grow all around New Zealand and they are usually found in wet damp places.

I hope you learn't something from the blog post

Cipher wheel

Aloha Bloggers,
In topic we have been learning about cipher wheels and in the war men would use it to send codes to the enemies and the enemy would haft to decode the message and fast in case it had important information.
There have been codes that have never been figured out.
So in class we created a cipher wheel and gave it to a buddy and we would give them a number on the start of a letter.
I stuck sticky notes all around the school and then I gave my buddy a note to start with and then she had to find the other notes which would lead her to the treasure. the treasure was a Crunchie bar.
Here is a picture of my cipher wheel.

The onion Wives

Hi Bloggers,

Matariki is coming up very soon and I am very excited.

Our class has been doing a lot of research on Matariki, and we have been learning about the different myths that are believed in different countries.

Our task was to pick a country and look at the myth they believed for the Pleiades ( Matariki).

At first I picked the Egypt Myth, but I couldn't find anything really and it was talking about different stars so I decided to go with India.

I looked at the onion wives story and I was really interested I thought the myth was really cool.

I made a DLO about it and I want to share it with you guys.

I found using my own words to describe the story a little hard but then I got the hang of it.

Here's my story hope you enjoy.

Matariki

Today in class we have been finishing off our Matariki DLO's.
For reading we have been doing a lot of research on Matariki so we could teach others about it.
I used a google drawing to create my DLO.
I enjoyed this task and I found it fun, but I kind of found the tool I was using a bit boring but I will pick something more interesting next time.
Something I found hard was to find lots of information to describe what Matariki is.
Hope you learn something and enjoy.

Oakley Creek

Hey Bloggers,

I am back at school and blog posting again, when I got back to school I was so excited and I couldn't wait to do some reading with the teacher.

The teacher had changed our activities and made some of her own for us to do and she would give us a story to read and we got to pick any activity we wanted.

I decided to draw my character and label her name and who the author was and what the story was called, the story was called Oakley creek and it was about a girl who started hanging out with the

(cool) kids, and one day she lied to her mother and said she had got detention and had to go help at school on a Saturday but she was actually going to Oakley creek with the (cool) kids.

When I drew her picture I found it frustrating because I messed up a lot of the time or I couldn't draw the shape right.

I finished and was happy with the end result I would love some feedback on what you think of my drawing.
The book was bye Kate Paris.

ICT OUTDOORS

Guten tag bloggers,

Yet again I have done another reading activity for my story ICT OUTDOORS. 

The story is about a teacher named Mrs Thompson, who teaches gym class and there is a girl named Emma who is really good with computers and Mrs Thompson would usually let Emma sit out of gym class but one day she didn't and she was not in a good mood. She sent the class running and called Emma over and they both found out she was some type of humanoid. 

My task was to describe the story from Mrs Thompson's point of view. 

I enjoyed this task because I liked being able to be descriptive and tell it form another characters point of view, something I didn't enjoy was trying to tell the story similar from Mrs Thompson's point of view. 

Hope you enjoy it and please leave a comment.

I walked through the gates and was greeted by Emma telling me about the
kittens at the SPCA. 

I wasn’t really in the mood so I rudely brushed her off, I don’t know why but
I just couldn’t be bothered being interested. 

My head was pounding and the voices of the children echoed around my head
like an empty cave. 
The pounding never stopped and my body felt numb and tingly, I didn’t know

what was going on, I couldn’t make a scene not with all the children around. 

I got to Gym class and I was not in a good mood.

And this time I was not letting Emma off the hook, with Gym class. She tried
to persuade me but I just snapped at her and pointed to the back of the line,
I could tell she was not happy. 

She made a smart yet kind of funny remark but I just glared at her. 

I made the class go two laps around the field and called Emma over, I showed
her the palm of my hand and in the middle was a flashing red light saying virus.

“HELP ME” I whispered to her

My body froze and I fell to the ground, wriggling sizzling and making sounds
a computer would make when water has been spilt on it…… to be continued. 

ICT OUTDOORS

Aloha bloggers,

I have done another reading activity for my story ICT Outdoors, it was about a girl named Emma who didn't like sport but she was great with computers, her teacher would usually let Emma sit out of sport but one day the teacher started acting weird and realised she was half computer half human. For this activity we to write answers for the questions we were given here is my work.

Enjoy.

My Magic

Kia Ora bloggers,

It is Technology today, and our teacher gave us a bunch of activities to choose from. One of the activities was a magic trick with paper towels. Down below will be the link to the video of the magic trick.

I enjoyed this activity, because it was lots of fun and I enjoyed experimenting.

I think this is a physical change, because the colour comes out from the bottom of the paper, and the appearance changes but no new substance is created.

Here is the link to video Magic

Here is a short video of me trying the magic trick.

Oobleck!

Today for quarantine school tech. We were learning about states of matter, and we had to do an experiment which was creating oobleck and then we had to do an observation doc and a discovery doc on what the process was like and what we learnt, but I wasn't able to get my docs on my blog post but here are some pictures of my oobleck. 

Here is a video of my process. 

Hope you enjoy and please leave a comment.

The question in my discovery doc was: Why does oobleck act like it does?
and after some research I found out the reason why, its because when you squeeze the oobleck really hard the water evaporates but when you release it the cornstarch reacts and then it melts.
To make oobleck you just need:
1 1/2 cups of corn starch,
and
1 cup of water also you can add food colouring to make the oobleck a nice colour like red or blue. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Virtues

Aloha bloggers,

Whilst in lock down, we have been doing a lot of online school.

We have been doing a lot of RE, and one of the things we were learning about was virtues. Virtues means, doing a good deed for God and doing good things to please God. Showing Grace and peace is also a virtue. 

For our task we had to create a Venn diagram on how Jesus showed virtues and how we show virtues, in the middle we had to write what virtues we show that are similar to the virtues Jesus shows. 

Hope you enjoy, and please leave a comment. 

The wimpy prince

Hello everyone, 

Today during reading I did another activity. The story I was reading was princess Erina and it was about how she waited for the prince for so long but he never came so she went to find him and she learnt how to be independent on her journey, and then she found a prince in a tower and he said he was waiting for her to rescue him and that anyone could be anything nowadays. The task was to create a poem about the wimpy prince. Something I found hard was coming up with feeling words, but I enjoyed describing the character.

Hope you enjoy and please leave a comment.

Anzac biscuits

Today is the day before Anzac day, and for online school we were given activities to do for ANZAC, one of the activities was to make ANZAC biscuits and post them on your blog and explain how they were created. So ANZAC biscuits were first created in world war one and the first recipe was published in 1921. Later on people started putting coconut in them, and the new recipe came out in 1927. They were made because they were a treat for the soldiers and some soldiers described them as an energiser food and they could last a very long time. Here are some photos of my biscuits.

This is before they were cooked. 

                     And below is after they were cooked. 

Here is the link to the recipe.

The Lickety Split Car Cleaner

Hello everyone, I have done another reading activity that I would like to share. So for reading we were reading the same text the un-washable truck. And this time we had to create a car cleaner that doesn't let mud attach itself to any car. I enjoyed this activity because I was able to just throw my ideas into one big creation. Something I found hard was tracing things.

Please leave a comment and enjoy. 

Surprise in a cup

Hi Everyone.

Again I have done another activity for topic, and this activity was called cake in a mug. It was a recipe on how to create a five minute cake. The recipe was simple and then we only had to put the mixture in the microwave for 70-90 seconds. I enjoyed this activity because the cake tasted good and it was fun to make. I think this activity was a physical change because there was no new substance but the mixture started out as slop but then it started to rise. 

If you would like to give this a go then just search up Chelsea chocolate mug cake. 

Here are some photo's of how my cakes turned out. 

 If you wanted to get creative you could

                                                                       add cream or chocolate on top.
