Tic Tac Toe!-Inquiry Term 3!

Hi bloggers, this term for inquiry we are doing the rocket challenge and a tic tac toe on space activities. I think that this is such a cool topic to base our inquiry on. So far I have been really enjoying it and the activities that we have to do. I have completed all three on the left down. The first one I completed was the how astronauts do things in space. Enjoy the rest of your Friday.

Going Shopping!

Hi bloggers, have you had a good week? I have. I can't believe that next week is week 2. On Wednesday after technology we did an activity called going shopping. What we had to do was go online with a budget of $170 and buy food for a family of 4 one with no allergies, one gluten free, one vegan and lastly one dairy free. The total cost for me came to $82.10 c. I really enjoyed this task as it was lots of fun, also slightly challenging as we had to consider everyone with their allergies. 

Numeracy-Pattern Problems!

Hi bloggers, I hope you are having a great day so far. It is term three already, I hope you had a great holiday and relaxed and are ready for another term full of fun things. This term for numeracy we are focussing on number and algebra and pattern problems. Today's task is to create a screencastify or animation on how to work out a pattern. As you can see I have simply added a table to put my working out in to. Can you work out the rule, without watching the video in less than ten seconds?

Maths Term 2!

Hi bloggers, thank you for viewing this blog post. This term for maths we have been focusing on angles and measurement which was a lot of fun and working on our bricks. I am currently on brick 28 out of 30. Next term we'll be learning about number patterns and algebra. I have had lots of fun in maths this term and am excited to see what next term brings. I have been putting most of my maths work on this slide so if you would like feel free to have a look over my work. What have you done in numeracy this term? Are you looking forward to next term? 

Literacy Term 2!

Hi bloggers, thank you for viewing this blog post. This term for literacy we have been creating websites on The Wizard Of Oz and doing genre studies, so far we have done horror, musical, comedy and sci fi. We still have to learn about western, quest, action and film noir. Next term we are continuing to do genre studies and then we are going to select which genre is our favorite and create a video essay about it. We have been creating our own google slide about what we know about each genre, similarities, movies that fit under that genre and more. What do you know about genre? What genre is your favourite? 

World Hunger Inquiry Term 2!

Hi bloggers, thank you for viewing this blog post. This term for inquiry we have been diving deeper into global issues and researching and creating art on our chosen topic. For my Global Issue I chose World Hunger. I decided to make my final product on a canvas and use paint to complete it. My art is a split screen, one side represents a rich and full rabbit and the other side represents a poor and hungry rabbit. Hunger is a huge issue and needs to be solved, did you know that about 820 million people are hungry right now? Every year about 9 million people die from hunger. There are about 7.5 billion people living on this globe and 820 of them are hungry right now. I am really happy with my final outcome and how it has turned out. We have also had to write blurbs of what our art piece represents and a little bit about our art piece. For our end of term art production our teachers have created a virtual gallery which is in various sections of our different Global issues. The virtual gallery will be easy to navigate and we will be able to see everyones art pieces. Usually we would have an assembly and parents would come in and look at what we have been focusing on, but due to COVID-19 we were unable to do so. What global issue would you do, if you did one? 

Southern Lights Artwork!

Hi bloggers, thank you for viewing this blog post. Today we have been creating Southern Lights artwork and learning about them. The Southern Lights usually occurs in areas known as the 'auroral zone' near the poles in the north and Antarctic in the south. Aurora is caused by the collision of energetically charged particles with atoms in the high altitude thermosphere within our atmosphere. Auroras are associated with the solar winds that flow past the Earth. These winds flow out from the Sun and contain plasma particles (ionized gas) which gets pulled into the Earth magnetic pole fields. For the Southern Lights art I first had to rip my paper into a mountain like template. Then I had to flick white pain on to make it look like the milky way. Then I had to decide what colours I wanted to use I chose light pink, purple, dark green, dark blue, light blue and yellow. And lastly I added my matariki stars. I am really happy with how this has turned out and love them colour combination. What do you think? Do you like the colours I chose? Have you ever created a Southern Lights art piece?
