Market Day Reflection

We had our market day and it was really fun. Everyone was busy in my class because a lot of people were buying the waffles and spiders. Our teacher counted up our money, we did good but the profit was small. The profit was a good price for what we were doing for our class treat.

On market day it was really fun. Everyone was walking around looking at some stuff. I was at the briquettes stand with three other girls. People came to look at the briquttes but didn't really buy it. We took turns leaving the stand and coming back. We did pretty good with the waffles and the spiders. They sold a lot of each. It was really fun, even though most of the time I was standing at the stand, I still had fun. There was still a lot more briquettes left, but some people bought some. When others took too long on their time to look we would have to look for them and tell them it was their turn.

The kiwi can leaders were being throwed at with wet water sponges. There were some people throwing really hard at the kiwi can leaders.

Here are some pictures:

If you look closely to the picture just on top, you can see the sponge.

Biteable about Respect

Respect For Others on Biteable.

In our class we all made a biteable about respect. We did this because there has been a lot of problems in our class and so our teacher gave us a task and that was to make a biteable about how we can show respect.

It doesn't take that long to make this video. This was my first time ever using biteable. It was hard at first because I wasn't on the right biteble, so I had to restart it again.

I hope you like this video!

Snakes & Ladders

For our Synthesis task this week, it was to make a snakes & ladders game about the story we have read. It is about how kids and aliens were fighting against each other in the story. My rules to this game can be different to any other snakes and ladders. I drew the whole snakes and ladders thing. I'll show you a picture but it might be blury. There are only 70 boxes.

The instructions for the game are on there too!

Join the Summer Learning Journey!

The summer learning journey is all about blogging. There is a site that shows you all the information about what the Summer Learning Journey is. You can get points for blogging about what the activity is. You can also get points for commenting on others posts about the SLJ. The more you blog, the more points you will get.

Emma, the lady teaching about the slj, has given us a challenge. We had to make an advertising poster or something advertising about joining the SLJ. We could use anything to make this poster. I used canva for this. I tried to fit all the information into two text boxes. I also added in the Summer Learning Journey logo.

Here is my Poster:

Gus Sinaumea Illustrator Synthesis

For our synthesis task we had to draw what we see and draw something that we have wrote about. I drew a christmas tree and a person. I wrote a story about like it was when a girl could't figure out what to get for her parents so she made christmas a wonderful time by doing something special. I drew some presents under the tree too. It was hard drawing the person and fun colouing in.

Here is my picture:

Market Day Posters

In class we have been planning for Market Day. Market day is when all the classes in our school plan things to sell for their class. This money that each class earns goes to their own classes and they have a class treat with that money. 

We are selling Briquettes, Waffles, we also are doing a Water thing where you throw sponges to the kiwi can leaders. There is also going to be a pie face game. Our teacher is also going to be part of this and she has decided that she will have a jar of lollies and let people guess how much lollies were in the jar.

I made a poster about selling the briquettes. The picture at the bottom of the poster is what our briquettes will look like. It might be blury.

Our market day starts at 2pm - 4pm. This will be on Friday 6th of December.

This will be at St. Bernadettes School Hornby, Hei Hei road 74. 

Here is my poster:

Resolution for Christmas

For religious education in class we have been learning about what we think a resolution to christmas is. We had to write a bible verse or a quote into a google drawing and decorate it. Some of the students in my class chose to do their own bible verse. I got this one off google. I decorated it like it was christmas already.

Here is my google drawing:

Summer Learning Journey Teaser Week

This week is the teaser week. I chose to do that simile task. I did four of the ones that were there. Here is my similies:

This is what I have came up with:

The Stag

For reading this week we have a story called The Stag. We had a task that was to make a trap for the stag without having to kill it by shooting it. My idea was to make a big hole big enough for the stag and when it falls into the hole it will make a  noise to attract help then you will know that my plan has worked.

Here is a Demonstration:

Descriptive Writing Prompts

In class we have been doing some descriptive writing. We had to make a copy of this slideshow and it was with pictures. We had to describe the pictures that were on the slideshow. I finished doing that today. We had to describe the pictures with four sentences with a topic out of these topics. You will know what topics they are once you read them. The 2 slide was a example of what sentences we have to write.
Here is the Slideshow:



Let me know if there is anything I need to work on!

Flower Printing

In class we have been printmaking. Printmaking is when you have ink and you roll it against a picture that is overlapped that you know it is overlapped. What I mean overlapped is when you can feel how the pieces of your picture on top of each other. So we made the pictures first and then started printing. We had to do a practice and a Good copy. Here is mine:

The bottom one was my good copy, the top right one was my practice and the top left one was my tile that I used to print with. I did four at first but then ended up doing 6 at the end. What I had fun doing was drawing the flower. What I found hard was to get a lot of ink on my tile. What I found interesting was that it acutally worked. 

Big Daddy Task

WALT unpack sentences faster.
Every week I will be posting something from our Reading tasks. This week we have to post about the task we did. We had to choose one of the Synthesis questions. I chose 7. For that task I had to write a paragraph about what I think Big Daddy's point of view. The book that we were reading this week was The Big Jump. I wrote a paragraph of Big Daddy's point of view.

Here is my paragraph:

It was so high. I could see the classes. But what I was really worried about was hitting the pole at the end. I knew that if I cried when I got down I wouldn't be called Big Daddy. People will call me Cry baby. Sandra tries to help but I just grunt. 

The boy behind me is the only one that will know how I was scared. Sandra and the boy start strapping me again, but I didn't really care. 

I went down with this guy and he got hurt bad. I told the others I had to help him come down because they asked why we took forever. I helped him up which was a thank you. He knew that was the only thank you he'll ever get.

Culture and Tradition

In class for intergrated learning (Intergrated learning is a bunch of things all together) we have been learning about culture and traditions. Our first lesson was to write what we think culture and tradition mean. The second lesson was to find out about the national flower of our cultures. My culture is Tonga and the national flower is a Heilala. We had to make a Slideshow explaining about ourselves and about our family, culture and traditions.

Here is my Slideshow:





This is my slideshow. The last slide tells you a little bit about the flower.

Willow Weavers

Walt unpack sentences faster.
In class for our reading task as you know we have been posting information webs. This time I got a teacher to go through my work before I posted it to see if I wrote enough information. I also got two other students to see if there was enough information. One of them said its good. The other said that I just need to make sure I don't repeat.

Here is my mindmup:

Let me know if there is anything I need to work on!

My Taonga

In class we have been doing some intergrated learning. For intergrated learning we have been drawing some things that are special to us. Taonga means something that is very precious and very special to you. We got to choose if we wanted to draw on paper or do it digitally. I wanted to do it by hand.
The yellow heart is my friends. The cross is church. The orange thing is a blanket that I've had since I was a baby. The picture is me and my family. The flag is my culture. Those are the things that are the most special things to me.

Here is my picture:

Zookeeper for a Day

In class for term four the class started back as normal. For our reading tasks I fogot what an information web was but then I looked back to my work from last term and then I found it a little bit easier to understand. At first I thought we had to make a story map but we had to make a Information Web. A information web is information about the story. Our story was a non-fiction story. It was called zookeeper for a day.

Here is my Mindmup:

Shared Writing

In class we were put in groups of 3. This was for our writing task. I had four people in my group because there was an extra person. We had to write a story all together on a shared slideshow and then what we had to do next was to make it a picture book. I worked with Tini, Tyler and Liam. We used the storybook topics. Our topic was about a villain escaping a dragons lair.       Here is my DLO:

My Powtoon

In class we have been using powtoon. We are just getting used to using it because for some people in the class they have just started using powtoon. Powtoon is not that hard to use. But to post it onto our blogs we have to screen castify it because you can't download the video. We had a choice to do it about all the Cerr Values or just one Cerr Value. I chose to do all the Cerr values. It was hard at first but when you use it a lot it gets easier.

Here is my Video:

Please comment if this does not work for you :) Thanks

Maori Language Week

In class we had a task. It was to complete 3-4 tasks of some of this te reo maori work. I haven't finished my slideshow yet but I will be adding to it and I will be completing my tasks. We don't have to finish all of the task but we do have to finish 4 tasks and we can complete more of those tasks if we have time.

Here is my Work:

My Infographic

In class lately we have been making infographics about our reading passages. This is a group task that all groups have to do. The passage that my group got this week was How do waterspouts form? We get different passages a week. We looked at an example of a inforgraphic and it gave me a good idea. I don't have that much pictures and I only wrote two of the stages to forming a waterspout because maybe you could guess what happens next.

I enjoyed making the pictures. I found it hard to think of what piece of information I should put in.

Here is my Infographic:
