Minecraft grocery store

 

For math today Mr. Shaw gave us a very interesting task, we had to create a creative shop to display our math question. I decided to do my very plain but have heaps of food inside, I included the prices along with the pictures of the food up on the wall. My question says that mike would like to purchase some bread along with a kg of cooked potatoes. I had Lucy M answer my math question, and overall I thought this task was very fun and enjoyable as I got to explore the different features of Minecraft and how I could build my shop. Have you ever built a shop? tell me in the comments below, bye thank you for visiting my blog! :)

French animation tech task

 

On Wednesday we do tech so after we get back we get set a task to do, today we started learning some french and got the choice of doing animation or a video. I chose to do animation because I didn't want to go in partners and I thought it would be more fun. This experience was so great and I would love to learn more french in the future, I found this task so fun and interesting and I was happy to do it. My animation is two people speaking french to each other, for example, them asking each other where they come from one or their age. Before we went and made our animation/video we got taught how to pronounce and say some french sentences.  I'm so glad I got to learn more about this amazing language and thank you for visiting my blog! 

Managing water quality task

I chose this inquiry task because I thought it would be interesting because I got to research and find why Managing water quality is really important. I found that this task educated me and taught me about how we keep our water clean and safe to drink. The questions that I had to answer were where does it come from? what's in its local environment, and how is it treated?. These questions were from the 5th task on the Ocean Sustainability Matrix. I added a few pictures onto the slide also to make it more colorful and interesting to show my learning. Each slide has a description explaining the information given from the article it suggested to read which was called water quality. I'm only showing the first slide because I couldn't fit all of them on the page. I enjoyed this task and thank you for visiting my vlog, bye!

Microplastics

 

For inquiry, we had to get in a group of 4 and make a presentation on microplastics. We had to explain the meaning and definition of microplastics and how they affect our environment, and 3 solutions to stop microplastics from getting into our fish and ocean. Also on the last slide, there is a slide with a fun fact about microplastics. Thank you for visiting my blog, goodbye! :)

Importance of Water

 

For inquiry this term we are learning about the importance of water and how our waterways work. This task was fun because it's important to learn about how our world works and how we can improve our current problems. I did this task with Daisy because we were able to go in pairs, the topics we chose were pollution, groundwater, and microplastic. We also thought we would add a glossary just because we thought it was necessary. These problems that we have in New Zealand are getting bigger and thought we would learn how to have an impact on helping save the world and all the animals that are getting affected by it too. Thank you for coming to my blog bye! :) 

Math baking

For math, on Tuesday we decided to bake to work on our measurement, I was in a group with Daisy, Neiva, Sienna, and lucy. We made rice Krispy treats but they didn't turn out well and looked really bad. We don't have the photo yet but we dipped them in melted chocolate and covered them in sprinkles but they went all over the tray instead of the treats. What's your favourite dessert? tell me in the comments below, thank you for visiting my blog :)

matariki maori new year art

 For art, we were assigned to complete a piece of Matariki art that showed all 7 stars along with its mountain and river. As soon as I sketched the design I wanted I went and drew it on a piece of foam. After I imprinted the design into my foam I colored it. I choose the colors black and purple because I thought that would look the best with my design. I drew mountains and a river below it, the reason why I drew this is because I liked the look of the mountains and how the river surrounded them below. The reason the image was inverted is that when you press it down onto the paper it would be the wrong was. 

Area, Perimeter and Volume

 

For math yesterday we had to describe what Area, Perimeter, and volume are.  

Pizza place math question

For maths today we worked on our question that we had to explain yesterday, I did the pizza place question which we worked out a couple of days ago, but today we extended the question and added one more thing onto the question to extend it and make it more intresting. What did you do for math today? tell me in the comments below. 

HunderWasser art

 

For art we had to create our own HunderWasser art. First we had to draw some of the main things and then we had to sketch out the design we wanted. After that we copied our design onto the good piece of the paper and coloured in with pastels. We weren't allowed to draw straight lines and it had to all be different colours. What colours did you use for your art? tell me in the comments below.

Whats the weather in Maori

 

For Maori this morning we made a weather slide, so we filmed ourselves asking what the weather is in Maori and then Sienna replied with an answer. I found this task fun to do because I was doing it with my friend, this task was quite easy for me as we just got to make videos. What weather do you like the most? tell me in the comments below. If I do this again I would hope to get it finished sooner. Thank you for coming to my blog :)

Today we coloured in this picture and drew what we would do in the last Square. I drew the guy holding his hand out to help the person that got pushed up, and asked if he was ok. What would you do tell me in the comments below. 

My Pepeha 2021

Yesterday we started to make our pepeha and today we needed to finish it and post it on our blog!

Wainui camp 2021

Today we decided to create a slide on our favourite memory at Wainui camp 2021.

I did mine on kayaking because I found it fun as I did it with my friends, we got to go in our own individual kayaks and we went round two heads and looked at the caves. We learnt alot about world war 2 and how they would get their weapons if they ever got attacked. Next time I go kayaking if I do I would like to put less focus into getting eaten by a shark and more focus on kayaking. I enjoyed kayaking because I liked being in the ocean and drifting off in the water on my kayak. What was your favourite activity? tell me in the comments below.

My term 4 inquiry civilization

 

For inquiry this term we did something differnt, we had to figure out what would we do to live if we got dropped in a random civillization. Half way through building our worlds I was currently in the taiga, I hadnt been getting much done and hadnt really understood what to build in the taiga so I switched to the tropical islands. I chose to switch to the tropical islands because i thought it would be more fun and a better civilization choice for me. I had almost finished my world in the matter of 3 days and I was now working on my slides, I had finished my slides and almost finished my world but it still seemed to look empty, so I decided to add more buldings and places throughout the next 3 weeks of inquiry. I made a slaughter house, villages, turtle house, parrot house, 3 main houses, police station and dungeon, llama pen, star gazing area and a second village. We had to find out the matirels we were able to use to be able to live in the biome we had selected, we had to figure out food, clothing, transport, housing, education, laws, currency, entertainment and protection. What did you do for your inquiry? tell me in the comments. I hope you have enjoyed reading this if you stayed long emough to read the whole thing, This was nice to do and build with friends and I hope you enjoyed it to. Bye thank you for coming onto my blog, have a nice day! :)

Childrens opinions should matter more

 ¸·I believe that children's opinions should matter more·¸

  Persuasive argument!

Children's opinions are much more important than you think, quite a lot of children's ideas and opinions can be used depending on where you are and the argument. Many children struggle when telling people about their opinions, for example if a child would like to explain their idea to an adult it would be so much easier for them to speak to you if adults and some people listened.

Children's opinions can be very important in many different situations, You could say that children don't know a lot of the complexities of many situations compared to adults. But children will always know what they like, dislike and hate. Children under the age of 18 have always had to show respect according to adults. Respect is always a good thing to have for people but what if someone is 23 or 30 whats makes them so important that they don't have to show respect to children's or anyone's opinions?

Kids find it difficult to explain and be able to articulate their feelings and beliefs. A Lot of children's ideas can be quite unreal and confusing but therefore adults should still listen to them. Different kids have different opinions and Every child will agree to disagree with alot of other children, some kids have pretty big ideas and pretty small ideas but they both still deserve the same amount of respect.

Children can be very argumentative in some situations whether they agree or disagree with your opinion. You can't judge a child's beliefs, depending on what their beliefs are. Letting a child explain their opinion to you will slowly improve their social skills because they will begin to become more confident in themselves while speaking. 

In conclusion, I think that children's opinions should be heard and listened to more, it's a waste of kids' strong opinions and great ideas. to not listen to them. I think these three reasons prove that children shouldnt be unheard, have I convinced you on this argument?

For writing we had to make a peice of writing for persuasive writing, this peice of work was quite a while ago because we did persuasive writing last term. I did make heaps more but out of them all this is my favourite one. This writing peice explains why I think childrens opinions should matter more than they should. I have 3 points an introduction and conclusion, I hope you enjoy reading this blog post and have a nice day! :)

Sign Language Week Dlide

persuasive writing on why I should get a bunny

 Why I should get a bunny

I believe that I should be able to get a bunny because bunnies are very kind animals. They take lots of work which keeps you active and motivated. Bunnies are inside animals, the reasons why they belong inside are because they are prey animals so any animal can really eat them, which wouldn’t be good to keep them outside if you have a dog or a different animal that could easily eat it. 

First of all you wouldn’t have to care for the animal because that would be my full responsibility. Bunnies take full care which will keep me active and I won't become lazy. It will also keep me entertained and busy, it will give me something to do throughout the day which will get me off my devices. 

It will give me responsibility, and if I learn responsibility at a young age it will prepare me for the future. There are plenty of things that it will prepare me for because responsibility is a very important thing to learn at a young age. And if we had an animal in our house and I had to look after it, it would teach many things about animals. So if I get a child or an animal when I'm older I will be completely prepared for the experience. 

The last point is going to be about its breed. Most bunnies are completely safe and do not affect younger children. Bunnies are small prey animals, they are very caring and need full attention. They are very curious animals which they will happily just roam around the house without bothering anyone. They are mainly meant to stay in their cage either inside or outside.

In conclusion I think that I should be able to get a bunny and care for it.

For writing we were working on persuasive writing. This writing peice was made a little bit ago because I didn't know what to post so I decided to post this. We had to choose an animal to write a peice of persuasive writing about, I chose to do a bunny because I thought those types of animals would be nice to care for. The imformation I got about how to care for a bunny surprised me oh how much work and attention bunnys need. Would you like to have a bunny? tell me in the comments below. Have a nice day and thanks for coming onto my blog :)

We might take awhile to work on this because we have other things to work on during literacy but we will try. This blog post is a working progress so leave a comment down below and tell us what we should add next. Thank you for coming onto my blog and have a good day! :)

My news paper about the three little pigs

For literacy, we have been doing book week storys. There were videos we watched of frached fairy tails or fixed fairy tails. For this one it was the opposite story of the three little pigs. The video was about how the three little pigs boiled the wolf, the wolf did nothing to deserve it but the pigs were struggling with money so they said that the wolf blew down there house. The wolf had asthma so no un healthy wolf could do such thing. Whats your favourite fairy tale? tell me in the comments. Thank you for coming to my blog and have a nice day! :)
