My Civilization

 

For inquiry this term we had to start a civilization in Minecraft but before that, we had to go around to different teachers who told us about places where we good start our civilization. The choices where the ice plains, the desert, the savannah, the wetlands, the tropical islands and different types of forest such as rainforests. I chose the tropical islands. Once we started our world we needed to make some homes, a food and water source and some clothes. Then when we had finished that we had to screenshots of our civilizations and put them on a slide and explain what they were about. This was a really fun inquiry we did this term. Would you like to live on my tropical island?

Persuasive writing

For literacy last term we were doing persuasive writing. I chose to persuade people on why Marshland school should get a canteen but decided to change it to all schools. It took me a few weeks to make because it was pretty hard to find information. I like making persuasive writing. Do you think all schools should have a canteen?

Gerald

This is an animation that me and my friends Scott and Quinn made. It is about Michael Jackson's cat that goes on a massive adventure. He travels through the super bowl and a lot more weird places. It was really fun to make and me and my friends had a lot of fun. What do you think the last scene is?

Gangsta humpty dumpty

 This week at school was book week. One of the activities that we could do was colour in a book character and stick your face onto it. I decided to do Humpty dumpty. I started off by drawing a Gucci top on him. Then I coloured in his shorts and also made it Gucci. After that, I drew a supreme sweatband on his head. Finally, I coloured in his shoes and made them sketches. I have not got a photo but I will try and get one soon. What do you think it will look like?

Guide to taking care of an alien

For literacy, we had to read a book called I Spy. It is about an alien who is tired of just eating rocks so when two humans come to there planet they leave a mysterious red thing (apple) on the ground. The alien decided to try to grow it using there rock growing skills. The apple trees grows and they start eating apples. Once we finished reading we had to write a guide about something in the book. I decided to write a guide on how to take care of an alien. Would you use this guide if aliens were real?

Running man

For inquiry, we got asked to choose a group to be in. The groups were Physical, Comunity spirit, Yoga and some other stuff. Me and my friend Luke did Physical we decided to make a game called running man. I already had an idea of what to do with the game. Me and Luke wrote the description on the first day and started the animation. Once we finished the animation we made a poster using canva. Once we had finished all of that we decided to get some younger kids and test the game on them. They loved it and had a great time playing it. Would you play this game?

10 awesome things you can only do in the winter

For cyber smart, we had 20 choices of something we could make. Me and my friend decided to find 10 activities you can only do in the winter. The first thing I thought of was sport. What do you like more winter or summer?

Fabulous Diary Entry

For literacy a few weeks ago we had to read a book called the Olden Days. It was about kids coming from the future back to the present so they could do a field trip and explore what it was like in the past.  Once we had finished the book we had to write a diary entry on a person from the book. I decided to do it on a person called Zan. It was really fun to make and the book was quite good as well. Do you think thew will have this technology in the future?

Crazy China

For literacy, we had to read a book called Bright Fine Gold. Once we had finished the book we had to make a map of a place mentioned in the book. I decided to do China because I thought it would be fun to make. I decided to make the map on piskel. I then inserted it on to google drawings and put a graph in. I then measured how wide china is then divided it by 5 so I could find out how long a square was. Have you ever made a map?

The cute baby dragon

For writing, we were shown a picture of a dragon and we were told to write certain things about it. We had to write what it looked like what it smells like and a bit more stuff. Once we had done that we had to write a story starter about it. I did it on slides even tho we could do it on anything. It was not that hard to make all of it so I got it done on the first day. This is still a working progress. Do you think you would want a pet baby dragon?

Haemo

For literacy, if we had finished our work we were allowed to do choice writing. Since me and my friends best friend just moved to South Korea me and my friend Quinn decided to do a report on him.  It was really funny looking at all the pictures that we had taken with him and it was actually just really fun to make the slide. Did your best friend ever leave you?

Money,Money, Money

For literacy, we had to do information reports. We were allowed to do it in buddies so me and my friend Quinn decided to do a report. It took me and him quite a while to come up with an idea but I eventually came up with the idea of doing it on money. We got quite a lot finished on the first day so it was pretty easy after that. Did you know any of this?

The very hard puzzle.

In the second week of lockdown, me and my sister found a 1000 puzzle on a bench near the park we go to. Some neighbours put it there to share so people around the neighbourhood would not get bored during lockdown.  I decided to bring it home so me and my family could do it together. My parents thought it was a great idea. We started right after dinner. We got all the edges finished that night. The final day we went hard out. We worked for like 2 hours each. We managed to complete it and it was so relieving to finish it. We then put it back on the park bench so other people could do it. Have you made a 1000 piece puzzle?

My interesting artifact

For reading, we had to find two artifacts in our home. I asked my dad if we have any and he said he had a program that had Jonah Lomu's signature from his first ever All Black game. It also had the signature of the first player to ever play 100 tests. His name was Phillipe Sella from France and it was his 100th game that day. We don´t know how much it is worth but it is pretty cool to have. Do you know who Jonah Lomu is?

My amazing t-shirt design

Since we have been in lockdown American Football Canterbury is having a t-shirt design competition. My dad said I should enter it, so I did. The first day I drew a t-shirt so I could see what it would look like.  After that, I traced the spider of their old logo and put in the middle of the t-shirt. After that, I drew a football under the spider legs. Then I wrote Smart. Fast. Physical which is their slogan. After that, I wrote A F C (American Football Canterbury) around the spider. The next day I coloured everything apart from the t-shirt. Finally, I coloured in the t-shirt completely black. Have you ever made a t-shirt design?

Awesome Gardening

Last weekend I was looking through the study when I found some little gardens. They are vegetables and fruit. So that day me and my dad started planting them. So far we have only done 16 but we still have 4 more left. It has been really fun. The bad thing is they take like 60 plus days. Have you ever planted fruits and vegetables?

Amazing dinners

Since we have been in lockdown my parents have told me and my sister that every weekend we are the ones that make dinner. So far it has been really fun. I have made pizza and burgers and my sister has made butter chicken and nachos. I don't have any pictures of them so just picture what you think they would look like. Have you ever made burgers and pizza?

From Hanmer to home

Last weekend since we were not allowed to go to Hanmer Springs we brought it into our back yard. First of all, me and my dad put up the tent so we could sleep in it that night. The next day we got out the slippin slide so it could be like the Hanmer Springs pools. After that, me and my sister went into our spa. That was the last thing we did for that day. The next day we went biking like my family normally does. And that is how we brought Hanmer to our home. Have you ever been to Hanmer Springs?

Amazing pixel arts

This is a slide I made with some of my friends. It has all the pictures of the cool pixel arts we have made. They are very cool my favourite ones are the iron man and the pug. I think Haemo made the best ones because he loves making them and puts a lot of effort into them. Anyway hope you enjoy it. Have you ever made a piskel?

My mum's amazing new desk

A few days ago my dad and I made a desk for my mum so that she could work during the lockdown. We put it upstairs so we would not annoy her while she is working from home. I used different tools to put it together. My sister helped a bit too but not that much. It took about an hour to build but it was super fun to make. Here is a picture of my mum busy working at her new desk. Have you ever built a desk?

The delicious cake

Today my sister and I made a cake. It was a chocolate cake covered with sprinkles and chocolate.
It was pretty hard to make but it was a lot of fun and it ended up tasting delicious. Do you like chocolate cake?

The 5 R's

Earlier this year for cyber smart we had to find the definition of each 5 r's ( Respect, Resourcefulness, Resilience, Reciprocity and Reflectiveness) and told people ways of doing them. Once you had finished that you could make animations of ways to show the 5 r's. Then if you finished that you got to make videos about the ways you could show the 5r's. It was pretty easy to make. My partner Quinn and I finished everything apart from the videos on the first day. Do you show the 5 r's?

The possibility game

A couple weeks ago for maths, my class was focusing on figure out the possibility of things such as what is the chance of winning paper scissor rock. Our teacher made us go on a coin-flipping website and flip a coin twenty times and see what it landed on the most heads or tails. Once we had finished that we had to do the same thing with a die but we only rolled the dice eight teen times.  Do you know why there were more tails than heads?

My Scottish Ancestry

For inquiry this term we had to pick one of our cultures and research our ancestry.  We could choose any digital learning object to show our information on so I decided to do it on slides because I think it is the easiest website to use. I got most of the information from the slide one of our teachers showed us. It was pretty easy to make so I finished four slides on the first day and it was not that hard after that. Are you part Scottish?

Who Wants to be a Millionaire!

In maths, we had to make a google slide-based on the show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. First, we had to make a copy of our teachers slide. Then we had to design 10 questions and four of them had to involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I managed to finish on the first day because it was really easy. Did you get all the questions right?

The amazing boardgame

For maths, we had to do design and create a board game that was based on probability. We had to work in a group of one to four. I did mine with Quinn and Scott. We decided to make it minion chess.  My task was to design and make the board.  Would you play this board game?

Is it true is it false

This is a slide I made in maths. It is where we had to write a number next to a number collum. Then we had to make the number using dots by putting them in the correct collums. Two of them had to be correct the other had to be incorrect. Do you know what one is wrong?
