Christmas At my House

 This is one of our Christmas activities (Not 12 Days of Christmas), which we had to describe what Christmas means at our house and what it's like. Here is my presentation.

12 Days of Christmas - Activity 2

For the second activity we had to make a word find with Merry Christmas in different languages. Here is mine. 

12 Days of Christmas - Activity 1

For the first Christmas activity, we had to take a screenshot of something related to Christmas (with a few clues) and see if our blog viewers can guess what it is. Here are my clues:

- Its colours are red and gold

- It helps Santa a lot on Christmas eve

PrEP Awards

 In the past 2-3 weeks we have been doing PrEP, which if you didn't know, is a business event where our whole school starts ventures (Business Groups) or signs up to be in something like the PrEP Police force, the Warehouse, the Advertising agency ect. Today at Assembly I received an award for my service in the Advertising agency.

Space Task 2

 As you may have seen from my previous post I have started a new topic around space. For the second task we had to complete a google drawing about what astronauts need/take to space. Here is mine.

Space Task 1

This week we started a new literacy topic which was either space or NZ disasters. I have chosen to do Space, for the first task we had to complete a planet report about a planet of our choice, I have chosen Mercury because it is the smallest and closest to the sun. 

Wk3 Whanau Time Video

This week our Principal asked us to make a short film about overcoming a task that is challenging or that you have never done before. Emil, Jacob, Toby and I decided to make a film about going up the 'Big Fort' at our school (I have actually been up there before). Here is the video.

Moa Create Task

For the past couple weeks we have been doing reading tasks around Moa's extinction and facts about them. One of the tasks was a create task, for this we had to choose another extinct animal and write some facts about it and how it got extinct. I chose to do my one on the Haast Eagle mostly because it was the predator of the Moas. Here is the link to my create task.

Moa Reading tasks

This week we started a new reading topic around Moas and their extinction and so on. We have 4 tasks (plus a create task) that we had to complete before the end of the week. I found these tasks reasonably easy because they didn't take much time to do. Here are the links to the tasks.

Task 1

Task 2

Task 3

Task 4

PrEP Letters and C.V.'s

 This term Grey Main are going to have our annual PrEP (Primary Enterprise Program) which is similar to a market. We have small market where ventures can choose to make some products for that and the big market which is the same but all ventures have to enter some sort of item. This year's theme is Christmas, so we can make gifts, ornaments and so on. There are also jobs outside the classroom, for example, the PrEP Police, the Advertising Agency, the bank, the Warehouse and also people who help the younger learners with their ventures. I have decided to apply for the Police (Yr 8's only) and the Advertising Agency.

Welcome Back!

This week is the first week back to school in term 4. It has been pretty relaxed as we needed time to get back into the swing of things. However, as part of the very few things that I have done this week, I have done my Prototec for this week. (I apologize about the screenshot quality).

 

Maths Wk9 Term 3

This week for maths I thought I would share my level of maths on my blog so you can get a better idea of what level I am working at for maths. Here is my Prototec and word problems doc for the week.

Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori

This week for Maori language week our we had the task of making a google map and answering questions around Maori history. We also did a scavenger hunt today to find the Maori phrase. We would run around the school and found numbers which had letters next to them taped to the windows of the classrooms, then make the phrase out of those letters. Since I am an ambassador at this school, I had to record how many times my teacher used Te Reo. I found those to be quite fun activities, here is my Google my map.

Maths Word Problems Wk8

 This week we had another document filled with word problems, this week I found the questions more difficult than last week but I managed to complete them. Also, there were a lot more questions than last week so it took me quite a bit longer. Here is the link:

Pluto tasks

This week for reading we started a topic about Pluto. We have to complete four tasks, then we could start doing the "create" task where we had to either make a pamphlet about Pluto or a short film about a scientist explaining things about Pluto. Here is the link to my task (I included the second task as well).

Pluto task 4

This week as you may have seen on my previous post we have started doing tasks on Pluto. This task here is task four and it is a synthesis chart. We had to fill in things like the main idea of each text and then compare them, here it is.

More Images

As you may have seen with my previous post, we have been working on making funny/cool images by using a site to help remove the background of your photo and a site to find basically any image for your new background that you want. Here are the images that I have made.

Boxing

This week and last week we had to mess around with a few tools to make some cool images, I decided to go all out with this one because to make this I had to remove the guy from the image, make another copy of him without the background of the image, and then stick him back on so I can tilt him without tilting the whole image. After I had done that, I got a gif of a blast and put it on my hand and put lines under him to make it look like he was flying away after I punched him. I hope you like it, it was really fun to make. (I put the super saiyan hair on me because I think it fits with the blast on my fist).

Explanation Writing #3

This week we have started yet another piece of explanation writing, this week I have done it about why volcanoes erupt and that sort of thing. Enjoy!
