At Jellie Park we had a fun-filled day with so many things to do like, Hydroslides, Two straight ones that you could race your friend in, and a long curvy one that you could do a limit of up to 5 people on at once, I went on both of them loads of times and it was so fun, there were also 2 diving boards a little one and a big one, And lastly the pool, There was a pool with a shallow end and a deep end that you could jump in from the end, in the pool, there were also 3 big floaties and heaps of boards and rings. The day was heaps of fun and one of the highlights of the day was watching Mr. Bell and Ms. Smith Race down the hydro slides, It was a very close race but Ms. Smith just won It was so close!

Really Cool Reading Activities

  

Kia Ora Bloggers! How was your first week of term 4?

In the last week of school last term we started doing these fun tasks on different topics. How it worked is on the Korimako Hub Site under Mrs. Atkinson Reading, there was a slide with 4 different pictures, if you clicked on each one they would all take you to a different Google Drawing, On the Drawing, there were different questions about the topic. I have done 3 so far and am about to do the 4th one. My favourite one so far was Anne Frank because it was cool finding out about her story and what she had to go through at a young age. I have worked hard on this and I like how it has turned out. I have put information and pictures with each topic. How was your first week back at school? Do you know anything else about these topics that I haven't put in? Did you find out something new from reading this?

Fabulous Facts about Stonehenge

 

                             

                                      Kia Ora Bloggers! What is your favorite place you have been to? 

This week in Reading we were given the task to research about Stonehenge. Our tasks were, Read the book on Wonderopollis then watch the video on the slide. One of our other tasks was to research some facts about Stonehenge. This is my slide with all the facts on it. I researched about, when it was made, who made it and how long it took. It took me a while to get all of the facts but I am happy with how many I got.  Now I am working on making the facts into a book on book creator but that might take a while.  Have you ever been to Stonehenge? Do you know where Stonehenge is? Please leave me some feedback by leaving me a Positive, Helpful, Thoughtful comment. Bye!

Kia Ora Bloggers! What are you doing in Writing this week?

These past few weeks for writing we are doing Persuasive writing, we had to do different stages and this is how they went. We had to pick a topic that we are interested in discussing. After that, we had to start planning out our reasons to defend our topics on a piece of paper. Once we had come up with all our reasons we were allowed to start writing it down on a Google Doc. This is my writing above. I worked hard on this and I am happy with how it turned out. Please leave me some feedback by leaving a    Positive, Thoughtful, Helpful comment. Bye

Fabulous Fibonacci Sequence

This week in Korimako it is Maths Week! This week has been filled with different things like origami, tesselations, and other fun things. This is one of the activities and it is called the Fibonacci Sequence. The Fibonacci Sequence is a pattern where it goes like this, 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34 do you see the pattern? This was a very fun task to do and I am happy with the result. I first sketched the boxes and then I outlined it with a black marker. After I outlined the lines I added some colours, I chose to use Purple and Blue.  Can you see the pattern? Do you know why it is a spiral?

Have you ever made a Poppy?

Wonderful Writing- Term 2

For writing once again Mrs, Atkinson made us a slide and we had to make a copy of it, this time there were 2 videos on it, they wouldn't load for me so Mrs. Atkinson emailed them to me and I keep them in my folders. There are a few different tasks on this slide, I have only done a few so far but I will probably do more. Have you watched either of these videos? Did you laugh at either? Please leave some feedback.

Really Interesting Reading

In Reading, Mrs. Atkinson made another slide and it had a bunch of different questions on it. The task was that I had to read the pages then answer the questions, there were 3 different types of questions, Inference, Organisation and Comprehension. There were 2 pages for both sets of pages. The book is in there so maybe you could read it and answer some of the questions. 

Have you read Broken Wing? What were your answers?

Wonderful Writing Starters

In writing, Mrs. Atkinson made a slide with a bunch of different pictures on it, every day we go onto the slide and pick one to do ( I normally do them in order. ) We have do describe the picture using 3 sentences, I Hear, Taste, See and sometimes for an extra I add I feel. All the pictures are after the stories so you can see the picture I was going off. I work hard on these so I hope you like them. Please leave some feedback. 

What I did during the Holidays

Over the school holidays, I was stuck at home and really bored, and  I was looking for things to do on this slide are a few things that I did during the holidays I might keep adding to this so that you can see some more cool stuff I did as well and maybe you could even do one of the things I did one. Are you bored at home? Can you do a flip? Have you ever made sushi? 

Lego Week!

On our Korimako hub site, there is a slide that says Lego Week. Lego week is when for each day there is a different thing you have to build out of lego, this is a 30-day challenge which means there are 30 different activities to do. The first one I did was to build a new rocket ship for NASA. Mine is made out of blue and white bricks. These activities are really fun to do and you get to choose what you make.

Have you ever done a Lego week challenge?

Reading Activity

This is my first reading activity and it is about a book on Jellyfish, for this activity I had to read the book and then make either a word art or word cloud using what I thought were the main words in the book.  I tried to choose words that were in the book quite a bit and were related to the topic Jellyfish.

This is my Word Art on Jellyfish. It was easy to do and a really fun part of it was making the colors for the writing. I was reading on Epic. Have you ever read on epic? Have you ever used Word art?

Marvellous Mickey Mouse drawing

This is the second activity that I have done that my teachers have set and I chose to do another drawing tutorial, I looked at heaps of tutorials but I chose to do this one, Halloween mickey mouse if you want to have a look at the youtube channel here's the link.

There are all sorts of things on there like, writing/reading activities to work on there are different PE activities we can do like make trick shots, but for my first activity, I chose to do one of the drawing activities for this activity there is a link to a youtube channel that has drawing tutorials, I looked for an easy one because it was my first time doing this. I found heaps of different ideas and tutorials that I might do next but I chose to follow a Donald Duck tutorial, it was really fun and a little bit challenging but I'm happy with the result.

Heres the link to the youtube channel  If you can check it out and maybe try one of the tutorials.

Have you ever seen one of this person's tutorials?

The Village reading

In the first weeks of reading Mrs, Atkinson told us to make a copy of a slide and read the book and answer the questions. We had to put our answers in a different colour than the question. This took me a while to complete but I managed to finish it in the time frame I needed to. Have you read this article? Have you done these questions?

Fun Fair Chocolate

In reading Mrs. Atkinson made a slide with a bunch of questions on it for us to answer

We are doing the slides one by one and we read two pages a week and get the rest of the week to answer them. I am still answering the questions week by week. Do you have slides like these for your reading? Have you read the article Fair Chocolate?

Where are my family from?

In Inquiry, we are finding out about where some of our family comes from, I chose South Korea.

In this slide, you will find out about the flag, population, fashion, national food, the language the capital of South Korea and a map of the country. I have worked hard on this work but I am happy with the work I have done. Where are your family from?

Respect, Resilience, Reciprocity, Reflectiveness, Resourcefulness

At Marshland School we have the 5R's Respect, Resilience, Reciprocity, Reflectiveness, Resourcefulness. We were told to create a slide about the 5R's and write down the definition of what we thought that R means. But if we finished that we moved on to making an animation to put in. I am still making the animations and they're a little bit hard, I am proud of the work I have done so far.
Do you have 5R's at your school?

SOL- Why are plants green?

In class, we started doing SOL ( Student Organised Learning) And for the first task there were three different questions to choose from 'Why is the sky blue?' 'What is the Concorde?' Or Why are plants green? I chose why are plants green. I found most of my information and pictures on This site

The information took quite a while to find and understand but I'm happy with how it turned out.
