My Goal setting

 Today I've been doing a Goal setting from Term 1, and today we have been checking them see if we had done those. This goal is hard for me because I can not get my ideas out. I haven't really played with many people and I played real life Among us with others. 

I found it hard to get the ideas out my head.

I found it easy to write the sentences.

Next time I'll add more writing.

Here are my goals.

Colored Images

 Today we had done Colored Images by using Google's Arts and culture and we had to watch videos before we have done the images these images that I made took a while.

where everyone was equal and self-sufficient. At the time, the New Zealand government confiscating Māori land. The Parihaka leaders were imprisoned for 16 months.

Letter to The Gisborne Herald

Today of this week we've had to send a letter to the Gisborne Herald. We had to do it on a google doc first so we could show our teacher what we've written. It took me a while to finish because I didn't know what to write.

I have found it hard to know what to write.

I have found it easy to send it.

Next time I'll add more writing.

Here is my letter.

 Ni hao Gisborne Herald.

I am a student at St Mary's School which is a Green Gold Enviroschool in Gisborne next to Campion College. To encourage freshwater creatures like little crayfish to come, we need to have shade at our river. We have planted native trees but there is now a lot of blackberry by the river. We can’t plant any more because it is in the way.  Some people have tried the Fix it app and emailing them and the council aren’t responding to anything. I firmly believe the council should respond to us and spray the blackberry so we can keep planting native trees for our native creatures.

LunaPic

 Today we were making pop art. First we took a photo on our chromebook, after that we uploaded it to Lunapic for a art effect to upload on Google Drawings and make it into a square to get to change the effect. Here are the steps to get started

September Reflection Newsletter

Today I was reflecting on September, I am excited for the school holidays to play with my friends online and have sleepovers with them and work together on online games like ROBLOX imposter.

I was learning to add more writing to my work.

I found it hard to write the sentences because they were a bit too long.

I found it easy to find the emoji because I knew where to search it.

Next time I will change the background because it makes the words harder to read.

Here is my reflection.

Save Our World

 This week we have been reading about unwanted visitors. The unwanted visitors were pests that came in to New Zealand and killed some of our native trees. Then we had to make an ad to show people what to do when they are coming into our country. I was making an ad which was to check the bags of people coming/out of New Zealand to make sure we don't have pests with us so it doesn't kill our native trees and plants.

I found it hard to make the sentences and colours because I wanted it to be a rainbow colour and it was hard to find the right colours.

I found it easy to make the trees.

Next time I'll add more writing.

Museum Visit

 On Feb 11, 2020 we made sand art which was hard to do. We had to use PVA glue in a squirty bottle. This made the sand stick on better. We had to make sure we followed the lines, the lines were a picture of a waka. We then poured on the sand to cover the glue. Once the sand was on the glue lines we tipped the paper to take off the rest of the sand on the art.

What have I learnt here is my learning.

I have been learning to blog quality blogs more often.

I found it easy to find the photo of me making my art, and to add it into my blog.

I found it hard to write the sentence's, because I couldn't recall steps in order from so long ago.

Next time I will add more detailed writing.

Here is my photo

This is our August Reflection. Every month we reflect on our learning. Have you ever done a Reflection Newsletter? My favourite thing of this month at school was playing with friends and going on a Slime Hunt.

Frogs

 This week we are reading Frogs.

The author doesn’t tell us if Tane is okay or if the police catch the Mutts,I think Tane might pass out because of the heat from the sun. The author didn’t tell us what happened because it would be a long story and he wanted to make it a short one.

I think the author's purpose was to make it about frogs, I Liked this comic because it had a lot of pictures, and kept you wanting to know what happened next.

Have you ever wondered why you can’t float in the air?

Gravity is what stops you from flying away.

Gravity or Gravitation is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy power by pulling things to the ground.

Force is an invisible super glue, push or throw (not at people) something, left, right, up and down soon it will fall back to the ground.

Dropper popper’s are a launcher for ping pong balls. Put a ping pong ball into the dome and launch, It will fly and come back because gravity pulls it back to the earth.

The story was named Horouta, Paoa and Kiwa went on a waka to New zealand but there waka broke so they needed to get pieces then 1 of those 2 had to split up to get the pieces and fix the waka.

Making Huts

For Writing I was learning to use describing words to paint a picture in the reader's mind.
I found it tricky to add more adjectives and juicy verbs.
Next time I will try use a simile.

When I was little (and  I still am) I used to climb trees and jump over waves but my favourite thing to do was making huts. At school we used blankets, desks and chairs. The hut was gigantic.  The blanket draped over the side. Pegs clipped onto the blanket. The pegs were the code to unlock the entrance. The chairs  supported the roof.  it was fun doing R.E. until,
“I'm squished”
“Let’s try and make it bigger!”
“No! I like it how it is!”
It was a fantastic day.
