Culture Club

For the last few weeks we have been creating slides for a activity called Culture Club. We had to learn about one country either by ourselves or in a buddy. The country Ruby and I chose was Korea. For this activity we also had to create a video and our own flag.

Times Tables

Times Tables

For maths we are trying to learn all of our time tables. Some people know them already, but some don't. I have just got my 6's and I am working on 7's. To learn these time tables we go on a website called Timetables.com

The website gives you medals and diplomas. To get medals and diplomas you have to complete tasks. You chose which time table you want to learn. I like doing this because it makes my learning easier to do. This is because I can focus on one time table a week and not have to rush.

These are the activities:

Writing answers in order

drag the answer to the right box

write the answers in random order

press the right answer

timed questions

James K Baxter Poem

In L3 writing ( Level 3 ) we are learning to write poems. we were inspired by James K Baxter. He is and incredible writer. his first album was shared when he was 17. For our structure we used his first sentence and last one, then we had to come up with 5 nouns and then 5-7 verbs. Once I finished I felt like I was beginning to get better at poems because I managed to write a poem similar two James's.  Here is my version of This Town.

Super learning withs Charts

DLO

In EL4 (Early level 4) maths we were working on statistics and charts. This wasn't my best DLO but I still tried to explain it well. I am starting to understand Statistics and charts better now. 

Before And After

On Tuesday our whole school did a clean up. One of the groups did a clean up in the kids P.E Shed. 

Here are the before and after pictures.

           Before                                                                   After

               &                

It was so so hard to find things  but now that we have cleaned it and organised it, it is way easier and there is such a big difference. On Tuesday we learnt about how doing one little thing can make a big difference.  This was one of the things that we did.  I am proud of the work that we did!

Run NZ

Run NZ

Our cross country is coming up! To get reading for it we are doing something called Run NZ. Run NZ is when you have a certain amount of time to run as many laps of the field as you can. In our books we have to mark how many laps of the field we do each day. My highest is 8, it's not very impressive but it's still pretty good.

Yellow = Option 1

Orange = Option 2

Purple = Option 3

Blue = Option 4

Pink = Option 5

Option 1 is the least amount of laps.

Option 5 is the most amount of laps.

Option 3 is in between. 

I am doing option three wich means I have to do 101.5 laps in total. To get to 101.5 I have to do at least 4 laps each school day for six weeks. 

Frosty Footprints Quick Write

Mothers Day Card

On Friday 11 my class made mother's day cards. On the inside of the card we wrote a poem. On the outside of our mothers day card we had to cut out a picture of ourselves and then stick love hearts on it. This is what mine looks like.

Kawa Of Care

Introduction

 This week in Moana 3 we have been working hard on some posters. The posters are about taking care of our computers, and they are also about cyber safety.  This is called Kawa of Care.

Kawa Of Care

This week I learnt a lot about Kawa Of Care. The most important thing I learnt is not to share personal information. The reason you shouldn't share personal information is because someone could either call or email you and you don't know who it is, or someone could track you which is dangerous. But the most important one is DON'T SHARE YOUR PASSWORD because someone could hack you. At the end of the day we learnt that we should close all the tabs and then shut our computer down.

What Is Kawa Of Care

Kawa of Care is about being cybersmart and taking care of our computers. This makes sure we can keep using our computers. Kawa of Care means we are keeping ourselves safe and respecting our computers and each other. We are also being sensible and responsible with our computers and to each other. This is a poster my friend Ruby and I made to show others to be cyber smart and show Kawa of Care.

Digital Timetable Fun!

Introduction

Hi my name is Summer, I am going to be telling you about our digital timetables. Before we get to the the timetables I am going to tell you how to sign up to work shops.

Google Form

 The first thing we do is go onto gmail and there is a message from either Koka Ngaire or Matua Fergus. We click on it, and there is a link. We click on the link and it takes us to a google form that has so many different workshops. To decide what workshop we should go to, we think about if we have ever done it before or if we think it will be a challenge for us.

How To Put It In The TimeTable

 We go onto Moana Learning Hub (Moana Learning Hub is our class website that has lots of different links and writing.) and click on a clock image. The image is a link that takes us to a google sheets. The google sheets has our names at the top and different times on the side. We look at the times on our workshops and write them in on the right day at the right time. Since we don't do workshops all day we go back onto Moana Learning Hub and click on links to learning and we have to use at every single one at least once. Once we have done that we are finished. Now we can look at it when we need to remember what we have on and what time it's on. I love using our digital timetables, it's so much fun!
