The Amazing Moon!

W.A.L.T learning to summarise and retell the main ideas and important information from what I have read in my own words.

 For reading we learnt about the moon. We had to make a mindmup to show facts about the moon and what we learnt. I had so much fun learning about the moon that I felt sad when I finished. To see my full mindmup click here. Enjoy!!

Tricky Maths Tricks!

This is my Maths DLO (Digital Learning Object). We had to do some pretty tricky maths (in my opinion). It might be a bit long but please watch it. I learnt how to do this by this video. To see it, click  here! :)  Enjoy my video!

Super Park not Spencer Park

W.A.L.T Write an information report that informs the audience.

Success Criteria

I know I will be successful when….

• I use an opening statement that explains the subject of the report.

• The opening statement is followed by sentences that describe the event; what you saw, what you did, how you felt, what you learnt.
• Each paragraph focuses on a different aspect of the topic; travelling, the beach, the lagoon walk, playground.
• A general statement about the topic usually rounds off the report.

On Friday the 10th of March Ako Ngatahi, Ruma Toru and Wahi Ako went to Spencer Park.I was in group 3. On the bus ride I sat by my friend Risha. We talked about how exciting it was and now nervous we were. The bus ride seemed to be very short.

Then we hopped out we got into our groups. Once we were in them the teachers that were in charge of the group had roll call. Then we had a pep talk in our groups, we also got put into smaller groups, the number on my hand was made into 3D My mini group called ourselves the Golden Rose’s (it was all girls). First we went to play at the playground. I climbed to the top of the big climbing frame.  and saw the wetlands, but I was scared to go down. In the end I managed to get myself down calmly ( I was still happy to be on the ground again). Then group 3 had to leave the playground to start our day. We went to the bird look out and when group 3D was called to go up the bird lookout we had to climbed some pretty steep steps. When we got up the top of the lookout I saw lot’s of spider webs. The spider webs looked like teacups. When I first saw the spider web’s I thought they were flowers!

Once we got down from the bird lookout group 3 had a little snack. Then we got up and went to the horse trail where there was kinda like a lookout for to look at the horse trail. When we went in there was some stands to stand on to see the horse’s. We saw a horse that was pooping. Then we sat down and had some morning tea.

For lunch I ate my sandwiches, my cookies, my yogurt and my bar. Then we went back to the playground for a little play in the playground. This time I went on the swing and not the climbing frame!

Then group 3 went to the beach and we had to collect some shells for the art we were doing. I found a big piece of glass, some driftwood and even found halve a bicycle light!

Then we went back onto the bus and I sat by Risha. I sat by the window this time. I was so tired that I nearly fell asleep. Risha and I mainly chatted.

I had so much fun at Spencer park I think it should be called Super Park not Spencer Park!

Kaikora Needs You!

Hi guys! At reading time I have been studying the Kaikoura earthquake! I did my work on a powtoon. Powtoons are kind of like animated slide shows. They make objects fly around and stuff like that. I hope you enjoy my powtoon. Please comment if you like it. Bye!

Subtracting in parts

In math I have been making a video about using partitioning to subtract. Note: this is the first video I have ever made. I hope you enjoy my video. Please comment if I have gotten anything wrong or you just want to comment. 

The Golden Lab

W.A.L.T:  Write a narrative

Success Criteria

I know I will be successful when….

• The title is suitable for the text.

• The orientation tells who the story is about, and when and where the story happened.
• The complication describes a problem and explains what happened next.
• The resolution explains how the problem was solved.
• Seeks feedback and makes changes to texts to improve clarity and meaning.

In Ako Ngatahi we had to write a narrative about a video. It was about a boy opening a present that was a dog with three legs. Here is the video of the present. I hope you enjoy my story.

The Present

The Golden Lab

Today I was playing on the Xbox when Mum came in with a box. I looked at the box and wondered what was in there. I thought it was the lego set I wanted until Mum said “Go and play with the present I got you.” I opened up the box and there was a cute little puppy, he had a layer of yellow fur, big, brown eyes and a velvet black nose. “Take it out, take it out!” The voice inside my head said. I saw it had three legs. “That's disgusting”, said the voice inside my head. “Arghh, get lost.” I said throwing it on the floor.

The puppy saw a red ball that was under the cupboard and ran to fetch it. He bumped his head on the door then crawled under to get it. Oh, how cute.  He brought the ball back to me and I kicked it. He ran after it and I carried on with my game, thinking I like this puppy because he is cute and clumsy.

He dropped the ball to scratch his ear, the ball rolled to me and grabbed my crutches, picked up the ball. I hobbled to the front door.  I shouted “Mum, we will be outside.” We went out and started to play fetch. As we played I was thinking of a name for him, Teddy, Charlie, Toby, I finally settled on Teddy. It was pretty cool having a friend like myself. After all, I am missing half a leg too.

Learning Goals

This term we made a slide to show our learning goals. We got to decorate the front page however we liked. We then had to copy (ctrl - c) and paste (ctrl - v) our learning goals into the slide. We had to have a meeting with our parents (or Mum or Dad.)
I'm going to try my best to achieve my goals.

Cyber Smart DLO

On Thursday a man called John Parsons came to Hornby High to go talk to us about being Cyber Smart. He told us 'A boy asked his sister if he could put a picture of her online, but she said  "Thank you for asking but no thanks."  He still put it online.' Here is a DLO on some things that you shouldn't put online.  I now feel more confidant online.
