Hi bloggers, this term our focus for inquiry was rockets. You may have seen one of my previous posts about what we have done.

In my film you will see us reading out the process and the laws of motion, the swing test, the final launch and a funny blooper of Matilda.

Yesterday I did an activity on google slides and it was about 3 famous buildings. I chose to do The Eiffel Tower, The Leaning Tower Of Pisa and The Empire State Building. Did you know that The Eiffel Tower is named after the engineer whose company built it, Gustave Eiffel. And The Leaning Tower Of Pisa was built on a nearly four degree lean. Also The Empire State Building is the world most famous building, located in New York. Happy holidays bloggers!

Sign Language Week!

Kia ora bloggers, did you know that this week is Nz sign language week? Today I have been learning about the history of sign language and how to use sign language. Did you know that kids used to get punished if they spoke sign language, but the def kids used to secretly speak to each other when the teacher wasn't looking. Today I went onto a website called Sign Ninja Game and got to learn lots of sign language. First it teacher you how to sign each thing and them it tested you to see if you remember and if you don't it just takes you back to the learning video and you can try again. Have a go at it, as is so much fun and you have to feed this monster to be able to pass each level and you feed it with the food that you earn, whilst playing the game and doing the activities. After that our teachers wanted us to video ourselves signing our name. Have a look at mine. Have a great week bloggers, don't forget to practise your sign language, it is very important. 

Game On Wednesday!

Hi bloggers, three weeks ago for technology I made a board game out of paper, as our teacher was away. I decided to make it kiwi related as that is where I am from and I think that it is a cool idea to do for a game. I really enjoyed this task and it was actually a lot more fun than I thought. Have you ever created a board game out of paper before? We also made counters and things that a normal board game would have but at this time I did not have them. Have a great week - I am so looking forward to the holidays, are you?

Maths - Film Times!

Hi there bloggers, we have been learning about 24 hour time and how to convert am/pm. Today's task is to think of three films and then find out the running time of each movie, add a question relating to time and get someone else to work out the questions and give feedback. I had Sienna as my pair and she has wrote a lovely comment on my second slide and I have done a great comment on her slide too. I have enjoyed doing time and have found most things quite easy as I have done this last year too. Have a great rest of your day! What do you think I could do next time to improve, I think I could probably add both answers in for each movie. 

Technology - Cooking!

Hi bloggers, how are you going? I am great. Since I am in yr 8 I do technology each Wednesday, since lookdown I haven't posted anything about what I have been doing at tech. Last term I did acrylics and made a really good clock and the term before that I did sewing and made a wall organizer and this term I am on my last rotation and am doing cooking. In cooking we are making bread and last week I made a turtle and bunny design for my bread. We have to go through a design process for our bread. First learn to make bread, then make two mockup designs, finally flavour the bread. This week we are up to flavouring our breads. What flavour do you think I will do? Have you make bread before? Which one of my designs do you like the most? 

Numeracy - Minecraft Ice Skating Rink!

Hi bloggers, what did you get up to today in numeracy? I have been working on my minecraft clock task pt 2! For this I have to think of a question and then make an image to match. This is my question, If I practise ice skating 14 hours a week each year how many hours do I skate in one year? I chose this question because I do ice skating and I practise a lot of hours a week. Have you been ice skating this year? Do you like my ice skating rink? I do. Have a great week! 

Numeracy - Minecraft Clock!

Hi bloggers, It is week teen already only two weeks until the holidays. Today for numeracy I have created a clock on minecraft. We have been learning a lot about time and clocks and today's task is to make a clock on minecraft. I decided to do the time that I chose because it is the time that we finish school. I have also added my photos of my time sheets, so that you get more of an idea of what I have been doing. Do you know the difference between am and pm time?

Coding - PSA!

Hi bloggers, It is finally Friday! Yay! This week we started to do coding instead of Samoan language studies. I am very excited to show you what I have created in my coding session on Wednesday afternoon. I used a website called Codesters to create my amazing PSA. I am very proud of what I have achieved as some parts can be quite hard and parts where challenging. I also had to do two learning session on Codesters and we had so ask Mr. Gillstrom to help us with some as he is very good at coding and he knows how to use Codesters very well. Unfortunately we are not able to post our PSA's working on our blog so instead I have got some pictures of my PSA and my PSA python writing. Have you create a PSA on Codesters? Happy Friday! ~ Happy blogging!

Maths This Week!

Hi bloggers, it is going to be a sunny day today! I am ready for a great day of learning and fun. On Monday for maths we did some problem solving for our progressions so kind of like a test, but it was stuff that we already knew. On Tuesday we did a slide and voiceover about something that we have been learning about e.g coin flipping and the spinner. I chose to do the coin flipping as I think it is the most challenging one. Today we are showing our teacher what we have completed so that it can get marked of our numeracy progressions. Whilst we wait for Mr. Shaw to look at our work we are working on our bricks knowledge, I am working on brick 30 (the very last one then I am finished). Have a great Thursday! "Ko tenei ra he ra paki!" - "Today is a sunny day!"
