I completed brick 25 today and am know working on brick 27, 30 is the highest that they go. Each week on Thursday we get tested for basic facts in other works bricks, we get 3 seconds each question and have to get them all right in order to move up. For testing we have been doing lots of khan academy and paper tasks. You will see my results on my slide linked bellow for khan academy. What have you been up to for numeracy this week? Do you have bricks? If so what brick are you up to?

My Amazing Wizard Of Oz Website!

Hi bloggers, welcome back to my blog. Over the past few weeks for literacy I have been working on my Wizard Of Oz website. I have put a lot of time and effort into this website and taken time to make it the best that it could be. Please take the time to have a look through my Wizard Of Oz website. I really enjoyed working on this website and it has been a lot of fun. What do you know about The Wizard Of Oz? Have you read the novel or seen the film?

Inquiry For Week 10!

Hi bloggers, welcome back to my blog. This week for inquiry we have been finalising our ironic art for our inquiry that we want to do as our final outcome. If you are not already aware of our topic for inquiry this term we are diving deeper into global issues. I am focusing on world hunger, so my piece of art is related to hunger. Since I can't draw people really well I decided to do rabbits instead. In the sketch below you will see my final design before doing it on a canvas. Can you see the message that I am trying to spread? 

Maori On Fridays!

Hi bloggers, welcome back to my blog. Today's task for Maori is to create something about matariki. We had the option to either do an animation, story, poem, the meaning and their animal, sock puppets, or an information report. I chose to do the meaning and their animal, for this I had to choose what animal I thought is best for each of the matariki stars/the seven sisters. I chose an animal for each star, witch there are seven off. I then had to draw each of the animals that I chose and then but it on a matariki star background. In the Māori language, Matariki is both the name of the Pleiades star cluster and also of the season of its first rising in late May or early June. This is a marker of the beginning of the new year. Have you created something for matariki this year?

Wednesday Coding/Binary!

Hi bloggers, welcome back to my blog. This week for coding/binary we have been learning how to do ASCII and making bracelets or keychains with our initials in them. Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers. You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it. ASCII is set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard). I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code. Using colours to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image below. What do you think? Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII? Could you have a try for yourself? Can you work out how to write your initials in ASCII from the pattern below? Can you guess what my initials are, from the image below?

What Have I Been Up To In Numeracy This Week?

Hi bloggers, welcome back to my blog. This week for numeracy I have been doing lots of khan academy tasks and dusing over the volume of a cube. I have enjoyed this week for numeracy as I really like doing khan academy tasks and the tasks my teacher have been giving me are enjoyable. Have a look at my maths slide and the screencastify on my slide. Have you created a screencastify for a voice over for a slide before?
