Year in review

Today I created a google slides of my 2016 year in review. The easy part was adding all the pictures to my google slides. The hard part was adding new ideas to every slide. Next time i will try to extend my google slides to make it last longer.

Xmas Cards

Today we learnt how to make pop out cards to give to the people our community who may be working Christmas day. I wrote my letter to St Johns. The easy part was writing the letter to St Johns. The hard part was designing the pop out Xmas tree. Next time I will use different colors to make my work pop more.

Kizoa

Last week we made a video about our 2016 experiences. We learnt  how to add transitions, music and photos, to make our video more effective. The easy part was adding the music. The hard part was deciding what photos to add to the Kizoa because there were so many. Next time I will make sure my music lasts till the end of my Kizoa. There is the link to my Kizoa.

Landscape

Last week, we learnt how to fill large shapes with smaller shapes. The hard part was putting the smaller shapes in the larger shapes for detail. The easy part was designing the landscape. We need to use more shades of green to add more detail.

Reflective post blog commenting.

For my reading the past two days, I have been commenting on peoples blogs. I recently commented on Danellas blog. She wrote about how she would be researching historic events. I think she stuck to her title well. Below is a screenshot of my comment to Danella.

Neighborhood project reflective blog

This week we have been learning how to use area, perimeter and geometry to build a neighborhood. The hard part was making sure that my area and perimeter is correct so everything fits correctly in place. The good part was that everything fit in place. I can easily measure the area and perimeter of my shapes.

Project Energise reflective post

Today at Project Energise we learnt the Roll ball for touch.The hard part was the game  Matua Bodene taught us because we had to dodge the taggers. I can easily use the new technique Matua Bodene taught us called Roll ball. The hard part is I need to apply the new skills Matua Bodene taught us to touch.

Soar writing

We have been learning how to retell a story and use seven plus gems in our story as well. Our class have chosen the story Soar. We had to write from the point of view of Mara or Lucas. I chose Lucas. I have the video bellow my writing. I hope you enjoy. 

Soar

1.Crash landing

2.Larger human

3.Take-off

Crack! I heard the sound of my back propeller cracking and smashing. I turn my head towards my short and stubby propeller until I noticed I was plummeting towards a tree. My silver aircraft hit head first past a branch then my aqua blue bag shot down like a skydiver diving off an airplane. It landed on a enormous brown table planted into the green grass. Smash! I hit the trunk of a large brown tree and fell to the top of the brown lengthy table. I leaped out of my aircraft and dusted my clothes off. I Swiveled my head towards my crumbled plane. There was no way I was soaring in the dark blue skies again. I lost all hope.

I tilted my head up and I gazed upon a giant. I held a sharp yellow pencil I had found and raised it towards the giant. I crept closer and closer to my little blue case that had fell out of my aircraft before I crashed. “Calm down there,” mumbled the giant. I glared at her than my destroyed aircraft and fell to the ground. She pulled the yellow pencil out of my hand and tried to fix my aircraft. Crash after crash after crash. I lost hope.

I exhaled and landed on the ground. She glared at me then pulled a serious face. She tried one last thing she used a black tape to fix my propeller. 3,2,1 I counted nervously. Take off! I soared through the skies and past the clouds. I reached my destination. I pulled out my little aqua blue case, pried the case wide open and a glistening blue star slowly escalated. I gripped the star in between my hands and planted it in the sky. I glared at the star then the ground. I waved my hand over the star a couple of times to signal Mara and thank her for helping me reach the dark blue sky. I grinned then I dropped back onto my leather seat and flew through the clouds back to the land of tiny people.

The end

Room 3 Assembly day

I have been learning how to direct the assembly for the music, videos… The hard part was making sure that anything that was playing is supposed to be playing in the background or on the projector.

The good part is I managed to make sure nothing was playing out of time.

I can easily manage the audio/videos playing in the background. I need to learn to not to accidentally close the tabs needed.

The big race day

I have been learning how to elaborate and add detail to my writing. The hard part was always using high level vocab to improve my writing. The good part is that I know how to elaborate my writing quite a bit so it helped me a lot. I can elaborate and add detail to my writing.

We learnt science with Mrs Cowells. She taught us about what happens when pressure and gas is trapped inside a small room. Bellow we have recorded what happened when dry and wet ingredients are mixed together. We enjoyed exploding film canisters. Maybe you could try this to.
