Reptiles!

By Anonymous -
Hello everyone! A couple weeks ago, everyone did a skit on a certain kind of animal. I, along with Clara, Shabeera, Conrad, Torian, and Ishaan, did a skit on reptiles. I have both the video and the script. Watch the video (but the audio is terrible) before you read the script! I was the crocodile, by the way.


Reptiles

Reptiles are cold blooded Latin/scientific name: Reptilia Reptiles are covered in scales or have bony external plates such as a shell The first reptiles are believe to have came into existence about 320 million years. Most reptiles lay eggs, but a few give birth to live young Reptiles are not amp...

Sorry if the script turns out really small. It always does. Oh, if only I could use that font (Raleway) on my blog. We learnt lots while we were researching. That has probably been the most fun I have ever had doing a play. Anyway, if you feel like you should comment, then go ahead and do it! Bye!

Welcome back!

Hello everybody and welcome back to 2018. Yes, I'm still in Manukau (but a Year 6 now. Being a Year 6 doesn't feel very different from being a Year 5). No time for a welcome post though. Straight into work. Hello! Ok, so yesterday we made a DLO (A digital learning object) about how to keep your Chromebook safe. They were based on clauses in the Kawa of Care, by Ako Hiko  about taking care of your Chromebook. I made a Google Drawing. And here it is! I originally planned to use Piktochart (click here  to Google it), but I had to use a Google Drawing instead. And that pretty much sums up everything. Comment if you want. Bye!

3 weeks - 3 things (Circuits, Geoboards, then Tech Challenge)

Hello again! Yes, my comments are still broken, but I have arranged with Mr Riceman to hopefully get it fixed very soon. We think it must have broke when I redesigned my blog. So, just beware, it might end up going a bit funny over the weekend while it gets fixed.  Anyway, that isn't what I'm meant to dedicate this blog post to. So, over the last 3 weeks, Te Waka Ako has been doing a technology rotation. Firstly (these are in the same order as the title), we did Circuits (or Papertronics) in Manukau. For that we made a circuit (mine was a switch) out of a button battery, LED, tinfoil, and spilt pins. Then, it was Geoboards, where we nailed (what else?) nails into a piece of wood we sawed ourselves, so we could thread rubber bands on it. Lastly, it was the Technology/BP challenge, where me made a structure that could hold a marble out from a table. Which is not nearly as easy as it sounds. We did it to "use trial and error on ideas", "develop perseverance"

6 sentences writing - Where am I describing?

By Anonymous -
Hello!  T his week we are working on using descriptive language by sharing our writing straight onto our blog.  The challenge we have is to describe a place using only six sentences. After reading the description you need to guess the place that has been described. It would really help if you say what clues helped you come to this conclusion. Here is mine! I sit on a chair, with metal arms. A plane whooshes past me, but quite a bit away People walk past, clutching suitcases. I grip a document allowing me to travel. Gates beep, allowing people to go further. People stand at desks, ready to help. Can you guess? Put your guess down in the comments. Bye!

We're all going on a Summer (Learning Journey)!

By Anonymous -
Hello! Today we signed up for the Summer Learning Journey over the holidays, where we do blog posts over the summer holidays about (this year) the environment. To try it out, we're doing the Summer (they also do them in winter) 2016 - 17 one, which is about countries around the world, and I chose (any guesses?) the UK. And part of that is saying, on this very blog post, why I chose it. And I did because I re(eee)ally want to go to (guess again) London! because of:  The museums! The history! The Tube! The buildings ! The art! The bookshops (among other things)! And apparently now for 3 interesting facts. Here goes: The UK is actually four countries: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. It was the world's first industrialised (proper factories, pretty much) country. The BBC (their national TV and radio company) is the world's oldest. And that is all (for now). Bye!
