Day One. Summer Learning Journey. Discovering Aotearoa.

Kia Ora!

Welcome to my blog. This is another Summer learning post that I am super glad to share with you all today. It was very interesting to  think about and I have enjoyed working on and completing this activity very much. I have enjoyed this activity  because I have found it really interesting to dig deeper and it is really cool to share a bit of where my family has come from.

I really found it fun to relate my family to Abel Tasman, Polynesia like Kupe. I found it fun and I am glad I shared my work in this way but I think that there could be   more creative way to do it witch is what I want to do in my next blog post to make it more interesting not only to me but to the viewer.




Thank you so much for coming onto my blog and reading my blog post. I hope you enjoyed. Please come back again and please give me some helpful feedback so I can improve on my blog posts next time.

Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Setting Sail

Kai Ora!

Today will be the first day of the summer learning journey. I found this activity quite interesting because there is a lot of different types of food that do different types of things. 
I really enjoyed thinking about all of the different types of food and learning about other types of people opinions on what to bring and why.

I also really really enjoyed making the title page because I think that it matched the entire theme of the infomation in the blog post. I did find it a bit challenging to make this post very creative. But I still am happy and proud of my blog.






Please come back to my blog again and leave a good positive thoughtful helpful comment down below and I promise that I will reply to all of them. Thank you so much for coming onto my my blog and please come back again.

Final Assembly!

Kia Ora!

Today is going to be one of my last blogs for the school year. On thursday we all got together for three hours to say goodbye to some of the teachers and all of the year eights and others leaving this school. All the classes shared something. Our class did a Trailer for the Pantomime we have been working on.
There were some tears but it was goo dot have a proper goodbye to everyone leaving form Yaldhurst. Model School.

my favorite part of the assembly was seeing all of the classes performances.

Here is a slide of all if the photos.


Here is a photo of the year 8s. I have known most of these guys since I was a little kid and I will miss them all.


Thank you all so much for coming onto my blog. I hope you all come back again and please leave a positive thoughtful helpful comment.

Activity 1: Faster than a speeding bullet

Kia Ora!
This is a sample or practice of a Summer Learning Journey Blog. I have picked one of the activities and we are all going to do a practice of how to do and how to use this sight and so we understand everything. I am excited to participate in the Summer Learning Journey.

i really enjoyed thinking about all of the different things I could describe with smileys. It was very fun.

This is the slide I have created to share my practice activity.



Thank you, this was a bit of a challenge because we only had 15 minutes to complete this. But I did enjoy starting to learn some more about the summer learning journey. I really enjoyed creating this and I hope you come and look and my blog again. Thank you again and please leave a positive thoughtful helpful comments.

Novel Study Update 2

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

Today I will be sharing another one of my novel study update blogs. I have made three of these including this one. ne first was an example of the computer work we have been doing and the other one was some of the pages in the creative response to my book. As Well as this one I will also be adding some pages of my work. I have added the dates I have created these in. I am proud of my work because I think that it is detailed and colourful so it isint as boring. I think that it is worth sharing and I hope you like it.
In saying that I would love some feedback so I can edit and improve for next time.

There was a few challenges that I had to work around throughout the book and I am proud that I overcome them. I have been doing this work around the Novel " When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit" It was an amazing book and if you have a chance to read it please please do.


Enjoy!

PET DAY!

Kia Ora!
Welcome!


Last friday was a super special day because it was.... PET DAY. This happens once every year towards the end of term I think that it has always been so fun and this was one of the best pet days yet., I have already done a Pet day post about what we had done in the morning but this post has all of the events.

If your school has a pet day please tell me in the comments and tell me what usually happens!
What is your favorite animal?  Mine is Dogs.

I really enjoyed looking through all of the different photos of the day and seeing photos of myself with my friends. I have created a small google slide with photos on what we did. Pet day is not just about pets it's about having fun and trying to do new things. My favorite part was the animals and the  Horse trick show performed by my classmate. I also found this pet day more unique from others because this time we had student leaders helping to judge the animals.
I can wait until next pet day.

Enjoy!


Thank you all so much for coming onto my blog. Please leave a positive thoughtful helpful comment and I will reply and read all of them. I always like getting feedback so then I can make my next blogs even better.I hope you come back onto my blog again!

Novel Study Update.

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

Today I will be sharing with you all some of my novel study work. This blog is not at all like my other blog based on Novel study. In that blog I showed you some of the basic computer work examples. I have now created a book with some information about different parts of the book. I have created the first few pages and explained what I found was challenging. I really like creating this book and I think that iy was fun and I really am liking how it is coming out.

I found it challenging overall to make sure the pages stay into the cover, this was challenging  because of the way I chose to connect the two together., I really liked making the story web and I am proud about that. I think that I could definitely improve on the other drawing on the other page.

I hope you enjoy!




Thank you all so much for coming onto my bog I hope you all enjoyed this and please comment some feedback on how I can improve this or some advice I would love to read and receive it. Please come back onto my blog again and leave a comment down below about my post.

My Favorite Shows

Kia Ora!

Welcome!

Today I will be sharing with you another home learning blog for this week.
What is it about? I is about my favorite TV shows. I have created a small slide with a photo of each of my favorite shows I have also made a biteable about why I like both of these shows.
What is a biteable? a biteable is a small animated video with cool chartres with the text you have shown.

I found it challenging explain why I liked them in a bit more detail than just the basics but I am glad on how my answer have turned out. I really like thinking about all of the shows I watch and thinking about my favorite shows.
I always say that there's always room for improvement in any and every blog. What can I improve on?

Slide:




Bitable



Fav Shows Blog on Biteable.

Thank you all for coming onto my blog and reading this post. It would be so amazing if you all could comment down below on what I can improve on. This is so I can make my future blogs better and more enjoyable. I Will reply to all of them and take in your feedback.

Pet Day!

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

Today I will be sharing with you my creation I have made.

I have made a sand sculpture with sand and multiple different types of flower. I have worked with my best friend to do so. We do this very pet day and soon there will be more exciting pet days things to happen and I will be doing another blog sharing some other things that will be happening. Like sausage sizes and the animals.

We do different things that happen every pet day and we always do sand saucers or vegetable sculptures every morning on pet day.
All of the animals come at 1:45 and I am bringing my dog.
I hope you all enjoy my creation.
What I enjoyed. I really enjoyed finding information and planning how to make it. I did find it a bit challenging to try and keep the flowers in the same spot and stop them from falling down.



Thank you so much for coming onto my blog. I really hope you come back again and leave a comment filled with feedback down below on what you liked and what you think I can improve on. I enjoy it so much to read and reply to your comments!

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

I am so happy that you guys have come and seen my blog!

Todays blog is..... GHOST. Now that might be a little confusing but to explane further Ghost is the class book mw and my class have been reading and doing work about. This work includes Vocab, New words there meaning and some sentences and my personal favorite making something to do with the book.

I am super proud of some of my work that I have been doing and would really enjoy all of the feedback you can give me so I can further improve.
We do our ghost work every monday at reading time and the rest of the week we read the book to learn more about the book to answer some more of the questions.

What have I made? I have made a google slide sharing an example of each part of my work and written what it is.

What I enjoyed?
I really enjoyed creating some of the funnier more inserting work like decorating the slide and making the images.
I found it challenging to pick what type of examples I should show.

Enjoy!

Directions In Te Reo

Kia Ora!
Welcome!


Today I will be sharing with you something that I Have been working on as well as my class for the past two weeks on monday. Every monday we do Te Reo and doing a fun way to learn how to speak it. For the past couple of weeks we have been learning how to give directions. A fun way we have been learning directions is by using a google slide we created a maze and added in the treasure chest in one square. Then we went around talking with other people and getting them to do our maze with us giving them directions only in Te Reo. Then we try to do theres and see if we got it correct.

Here is an image of my maze.




I have shared the six most used words I used to give directions to my classmates to help them find my treasure. I have shared this in a google slide with the english words as well. Try and practice the words and share with me how you went in the comments.

I found it challenging to pick out my most used words and I found it fairly hard to do other peoples mazes and understand the words.
My favorite part was making the DLO  and sharing it.

ENJOY!




Thank you all so much for coming onto my blog. I really enjoyed making this and sharing it with you all. I really hope that you come back here again and please leave a comment on what you thought about my blog and what I can improve on.

NO HOMEWORK!!

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

Today is going to be another home learning blog for week six!
What and I going to be doing? Well you may have gotten a fair idea from the title but today I will be sharing on a google slide a small speech. To write a speech you need a conclusion around three points and a introduction. Because according to the instructions it only needs to be a small speech I will only be doing around to.


I really enjoyed thinking of some of my points and I really want to be able  to do some more home learning like this again. i think this because it is good for your writing skills to practice different genres of writing. I think that I have found it challenging to keep it small and simple. We have done speeches earlier this year in my class and I enjoyed them very much.

Fun fact about our Home learning activities this term the students got to pick the activities.

I hope you enjoy jmy slide.




Thank you all so much for coming onto my blog. Feedback is very important to my class and if you were to give me some on my blog and on my piece of writing it would be amazingly helpful for me and my future blog posts. I really hoped you enjoyed my blog and Please come back!

Novel Study!

Kia Ora!

Welcome!

Today I will be sharing with you all today one of my up[dates on novel study.

I have been reading a book called when hitler stole pink rabbit. This book is about Anna and her family. They are constantly on the run from hitler who is out to get his father. The book shares a lot about Anna and the people around her.

We are all reading different books and we are making different activities about each chapter, I have been working on this for around three weeks and I have read up to chapter 14. I have done up to chapter 10 on my work. At the end of my novel study we will be doing a huge blog sharing a lot of things. This blog will be coming out in around 4 weeks.

I will be sharing some of my favorite items of work.
Enjoy!




What is a summary? A summary is like a quick blurb about the chapter.  You have to simplify the chapter in one paragraph.
My words. I have to share verbs are doing words, Nouns person place or a thing and adjectives something descriptive. I also share some words with three syllables.

I really love doing Novel study because you can make it anyway you want and you can understand it very well. I think that it is challenging to completely understand the book. My favorite part about Novel study is definitely reading the book.

Thank you all so much for coming onto my blog and I really hope you come back and keep a lookout for my family novel study blog. There will be a lot of these updates in the future and I hope you enjoyed!

Cotton Candy.... YUM!

Kia Ora
Welcome!




What will I be sharing in this home learning blog? Well today I am going to be sharing something extremely exciting and really proud to share with you all today. Before I tell you exactly what I have made I will tell you the instructions for my home learning post.
Instructions: First we have to think of any type of poem about anything in the world, whatever comes to mind you can turn it into different types of poems. Next we have to create a piece of artwork showing or reposting your poem.

I have created a google slide showing these to things and a title page.
I have written my poem about cotton candy. I have written this because it was the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of a piece of artwork I could create. I decided to focus more on the taste with this poem.

I really Enjoyed creating the piece of artwork. This is because I had a lot of fun playing with the different shades and colours. I think that one thing that I did find a bit challenging was describing a bit more about the cotton candy and what it tasted like. I overcame this challenge because I almost put myself in that place and that was happening at the time.

I really hope you enjoy!





Thank you so much for coming onto my blog! I really hope you come back to my blog again and please give me feedback. What did you like and not like about my poem? Same with my artwork. I think that it is an awesome idea for a home learning post.
Kind regards Maddie!

Spy Fox

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

I am so beyond excited to share with you all today some of my new work. In class we always do a long write on Tuesday, This week though we are going to start doing it on a wednesday. The teachers always show us some type of video to help us write our story. We have some super cool examples for us to choose from and I will show you here
.



 I  have chosen a non chronological report.  because I haven't done a piece of writing like that for a long time and I think that I nailed it. I am really proud of it because I was always really fond of these pieces of wiring and I loved to share my own with you.

We had to do our work on spy fox. Here is a link to the video we watched.
He is a spy that has to save Lily from hammerhead. ( he is a shark ).


I really enjoyed creating this because I think that it is a good way to share some work and get feedback for my next piece of writing. I will always have your feedback in mind.
I found it challenging to remember every part of this type of writing because I haven't  written a piece like this in awhile.

Enjoy!



Thank You all so much for coming onto my blog!
I really hope you can give me some feedback on my writing in the comments. DIdi you watch the video? What did you think ? What one of the options would you have chosen to write about?
Please come back to my blog again!

The Shadow

Kia Ora WELCOME!


What is this blog going to be like today?
Well today I am excited to share with you one a small short story that I have created.
I am excited to share this with you because I think that it sounds really good and has a rhythm to the story.

I really think that it is a good piece of writing but before I try and make it into a full story I thought I might get some of your feedback.

I wrote this today after I had finished a math test. I think that it is one of my most different pieces of writing I have created. Why? I think this because my pieces of writing are usually horror and scary or something like a moment in time where im describing something that has happened to me or where I am

I have created a small black and white colored themed slide ( to match the text ). I would call this piece of writing more of a prototype for the really thing if you don't know what that is it is a real life plan of a project. I think that when I go more in depth of some of the parts it will be really good. What do you think?


My favorite part. I really enjoyed creating the story and the slide theme as well. I really like how the prototype of my story came out.
I found it challenging to only add in the key points and then improve it from there.
One more thing because I show you my story I would really like to add in some pictures or illustrations and i'm not sure what. What are some of your ideas?






Thank you all so much for coming onto my blog!
I really hope that you all come back here again and I hope you liked my writing.
As I have mentioned a lot in this blog post It would mean the world to me is you wrote some feedback to create my finish product better.
-Kindest regards.

( Home Learning ) My Dream Home

Kia Ora!
Welcome!




Today's blog post I have created a small slide showing you all my dream house all of the rooms inside. I have labeled the inside of the house. If you were thinking about doing something like showing a room or house there are a few other ways to do it other than the way I have. You can  create an overview shot of the room or house. Or you can make something showing the side view.

For this Home learning work I have to do the following. Show a diagram and picture of the house. If you think I have not meet those instructions please let me know in the comments.

If you were to make your dream house what would the features be? Colour, rooms etc.
Let me know in the comments!

I have chosen the colours on the outside of the house because they are calming and soft ad it would be easy to match the inside of the house.

I found it challenging adding in every room so because of the size of the house I am only living with myself and dog : ). So Next time I think that I will create it bigger to have more room.

I really liked deciding the colour and creating the outside of the house.





Thank you so much for coming onto my blog. I really hoped you enjoyed and please come back to my blog again!
It would be awesome if you left a comment and I will reply to every one of them and I love getting lots of feedback. Again thank you!
What was the best part of the blog?

My Time To Teach!

Kia Ora!
Welcome !


Today I am going to be teaching you something that I have been focusing on for the past two days and I am proud to say that have finally got it and I can completely understand it.

What will I be teaching?

I will be teaching you the quickest way to find the square root of a three digit number.
to explain a bit further this means that I have now learned the easiest and quickest way to turn your square root knowledge into an answer.

I have created a small google drawing with the straps and the answer at the end ( no cheating :) ). I tried to make it look as fun and as less boring as possible but it is hard because its maths.

I found it difficult in some areas because sadly I have now learned that you have to fully understand every step to teach it to someone else and it is a bit harder than expected because if you get it wrong others do to . My favorite part was playing around with the fonts and background to make it look passable.

Please let me know in the comments if you understand it all and to make it harder try and figure it out under 6 minutes for your first try. Try and create your own and write it in the comments and I will try to figure it out and tell you my answer in my reply!





Thank you , thank you, THANK YOU! So much for coming onto my blog. It would be awesome and would be so nice if you could come back and read some of my blogs again. I can wait for all of your feedback and I will take every part of it and push it into my blog to make it as good as it can be.

Number Search

KIA ORA!
WELCOME!




First THANK YOU all soooo much for coming onto my blog.

I am super excited to share with you all today my new home learning blog.

What I have created?
I have created a number find, there are 6 numbers hidden in a table surrounded by numbers. It is then your job to find all six. I think to make it even more fun time yourself and see how long it takes you to find all 6 numbers. Write a comments saying what your time is and then you can compare to others comments and see the winner.
At the end of this watch the google slide and see if you got them all correct for a goal to motivate you further try and get it under two minutes.
This number find I have created in a google drawing if you would like to make your own.

My favorite part?!?!
I really enjoyed picking the background colours and finding the simplest way to make this number find so it looks good and is easy to understand.
Something I found challenging?!?!
I think that it was a bit challenging was trying bubble cheek that there is no other one of those numbers.



Thank you all and enjoy :)!~






I really hope you all enjoyed this post. it would mean the WORLD to me if you could leave a comment and participate in the challenge. If you find any mistakes in this blog post please comment and let me know and I will come back and improve it. I always love getting feedback because it helps to make sure that my work it up to scratch.
Please come back to my blog again!

Home Learning!

Kia Ora!

This is the first blog post for term 4!
The holidays whizzed by and now back to earning.

I hope you had a safe happy holidays.

Today I have stepped into a fashion stylist shoes and designed my school a new uniform on google slides. I have picked out a few options for tops and bottoms for different people.
I have created 7 pieces of clothing.

I have shown you my schools present uniform and my new one.
I think that all schools should have a uniform because of school [ride and it connects us all to each other.

Would you rather keep your normal uniform or would you create your own.
If so what colour palette? What type of clothing?

ENJOY!


Thank you all so much for coming onto my blog. I am super excited to continue to post lots of new blogs this term and also read some of your comments.
I hope you enjoyed what I have created. What do you think I can improve on? I love getting feedback to work on and improve what I do next. Thank you again!

Math Learning Diary.

Kia Ora!
Welcome,

Today i will be sharing something with you that I have been focusing on for the past few days.
I have created a Math Learning Diary.

This means that I have gone back through all of my wok book around the past term.
I have written down how I think I have gone with it and why I think that. Next I went back through and did some learning games to refresh my memory of all of the things that I have been learning.
I really did find this interesting and I liked to see my strengths and weaknesses around maths.

I think that My strength in math ewas rounding decimals. I have played one of rounding decimal games and I still think that I have mastered this subject. I haven't gotten any answers wrong and I am extremely proud of that.

My favorite subject in math is dividing decimals. I enjoy this because I find it a challenge but not too much of a challenge and I really like that. I was working on this subject last week and the reason I really enjoyed this is because I really enjoy doing the chunking method which is used very much in this technique.

What is the chunking method?
It is where you use times tables to divide.
You use multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

I hope you enjoy my math diary!




Thank you all for coming onto my blog!
I am really grateful!
 I Really hope you all will come onto my blog again and please leave a positive, thoughtful, helpful comment I love to read them and I will respond asap!
Again Thanks!

Critical Learning

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

Today I will be sharing with you some of my critical learning around the boy and the striped pajamas.
I have done multiple blogs about this topic and I am super excited to share with you some of my work.

I have been working with some classmates and we have all talked about some of the questions about the story that we found important. We have created a way to share our questions and answers and I have also done an activity to prove one of my points more.
We call this critical learning.

My favorite part about this was thinking deeper into some of my favorite questions about the book understanding all of the text and the hidden things inside.
I really enjoyed creating the image to prove my point and I am also really proud of it.
I found it challenges with question three I found it hard to think deeper into that question but I am proud that I overcome that challenge.



Thank you all for coming onto my blog and I hope to see you all here again soon.
Please leave a positive thoughtful helpful comment about my work and I will read and reply to all of them!
Thank You!

Poems! Family

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

Today I will be sharing with you my poem that I have done.

I have created a free verse poem. This poem is a lot different form any other poem that you have read. Free verse have not poems or rhymes. There are some pros and cons while wearing this but I really had fun.
Free verse are almost like a story but they aren't they usually tell a story but not always. We read a poem about a poem and we got that ideras. We all created two poems now both very different.

We have also done some research on two different types of poem writers and then we used on of there layouts and created our own poem.
Both of these poets have one thing in common. they are both performance poets. They all film their work and use different ways to make it real well. They use peo[ and their voice and their emotions to create an interesting story and they do it so well you can hardly look away.

I have created a slide with images and my poem and have given performance poetry a try and filmed myself reading it.



 Thanks you so much and come on my blog again please.
What is your favorite type of poem?
What do you think I can improve on. Leave a comment down below and I will reply to all of them!
Thank you so much!

Home Learning Book Report!

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

Today I will be sharing with you all my book report on a book I have been pushing on a lot reaspintly.
If you have seen some of my recent blog post you could guess which one it is.

I have created a google slide sharing my report on the book. I have included the title of the book along with the author and I have used a layout that we used last year to shape my book report better and I have added in how I felt about the book.

My favorite part was finding interesting quotes for the book, I liked this because I go to find out my favorite parts of the story and then share them. I found it challenging to pick and choose only a few items of each part because I really want to add in a lot of things and it was hard to cut them down.





Thanks!
I really appreciate you coming onto my blog and would love to see you all here again. Please leave a Positive, Thoughtful, Helpful comment and I will be sure to read all of the.
What did you think about my slide? How can I improve?

Auschwitz ( The Boy In The Striped Pajamas )

Kia Ora!
Welcome!

Today was the last day for the novel study ( The Boy In The Striped Pajamas ) had to be finished. SO I gotta create an extra activity based on some of the things I have learnt about in the book. I have looked in deeper around Alfdorf Hitler and The concentration camp mentioned a lot in the book ( Auschwitz)
I have learnt about a lot of the things that were mention about in the book but because the Two main characters were young and not very sure what was going on lots of bits and pieces were missing.

I have made a small google drawing discussing the main 6 points in the story and the deeper meaning of these three things. Such as some of the charters and some of the events that occurred.
I found some of the facts and info really interesting and sad. I am glad that we learnt from our mistakes and are now not like that.

My favorite part was digging deeper in my favorite parts of the story and sharing them with you all.
I found it challenging to simplify the words that I read and turn them into my own.

-ENJOY!

Red Wine ( the Boy In The Striped Pajams)

Kia Ora!
Welcome Back!


Today I will be sharing a small quick slide I have made to share with you some of my reading work.
If you have seen some of my other reading blogs then you will know what I am talking about if not I will explain. I have been doing some novel study around the book The Boy In The Striped Pajamas . I will be sharing the two responses I have done over the past 4 chapters. 
Those chapters have made many questions pop up but also close some as well.


my favorite part about novel study is reading the book because I have always really enjoyed
reading and I really liked creating pictures based around the book and the chapters I have read.
We also have to answer lots of questions which helps me understand the book more.
I have really enjoyed Novel study and I am super sad that it is sadly coming to an end this friday but
I would recommend this book so much it really is amazing and I think that it should be shared more
and if you have read it what is your favorite part?


Enjoy!






Thank you all for coming onto my blog. I would really appreciate some comments 
on what you thought about the book and some of my responses. I really hope you come
 onto my blog again!

You could share your info on a Powtoon, Animaker, or Biteable. Do you have s favorite out of those three options?
I desided to use powtoon because I haven't used this learning tool in a loooong, time.
I forgot a little bit on how to use powtoon.
I eventually figured it out an I really enjoyed using powtoon and I think that I will use powtoon more in the future and I will try and make more home learning blogs with powtoon.

Please watch and enjoy.

Karyn Wilson!

Kia Ora!

Wow! I am so excited to share with you guys who just came to our class Rimu in YMS.

I am so excited to share with you Karyn WIlson!

She was so enthusiastic and a wonderful reader. I loved listening to her brand new book that not many people have read yet, this is because it is coming out in one week! Keep a Lookout!

I loved listening to the story of what she was inspired by and how she got into writing children's books from her daughter and always reading them to her. She got inspired to write her first book every second she got and they sold out so quickly.

Please watch my DLO to learn More!


Thank you all for watching my DLO and Coming onto my blog. Please give me feedback on my post and I hoped you enjoyed!
Please write a Positive thoughtful helpful comment I would love to read them.

Dr Seuss? David Walliams? Roald Dahl?

Kia Ora!
Welcome Back!

Today I will be sharing with you all today another one of my many homework blogs.

I have done one just like this before on my blog but I have now created it in a more fun quizz like  way to make my work more creative and interesting. So I have conducted a slide to share my author and book and my book report.

Incase you haven't already came to the conclusion of what I am doing I will tell you again. So I have Made a Book Report on one of my recently read books. I have shared my thoughts and feeling about it and I really hope you all enjoy.

My Favorite part about this was definitely making the quizz like part you will see in the near future.
The part that I found challenging was finding interesting quotes from the story by this I mean scary, sad or happy parts of the story to intrigue the reader ( you guys)


Thank you all so much for coming onto this blog and please come back again!
I really enjoyed sharing with you and I cant wait to see your Positive, thoughtful, helpful comments down below!
Please give your thoughts and feelings about my work I would love to read your feedback!

L&P, Fish and Chips, Buzzy Bee and Jaffas!!!


Kia Ora!


Now before I start I thought that I would let you know that all of us year 7 and 8s go to Tech over at Incon School,  But this week sadly I missed the bus but on the bright side I still go to hang with the awesome year 5 and 6 and discover what they are doing while im usually away.


I have discovered that they do knitting and they create this thing called Kiwiana.


Lucky I got the chance to create a Kiwiana with them and I was very proud of it and thought that I would share it with you all today.


So I have created a small slide with some things that I think are Kiwiana and made some images to go along and also added in why I think that they are Kiwiana.


First off, What is Kiwiana? 
Well kiwiana is something that is only really done here In the amazing NZ. Like Pavlova the yummy meringue served with fruit and BBQs And the Silver ferns and the sparkling L&P fizzy drink, all of those things are Kiwiana.


Now be comtpletly honest there is so so so so many things that I could list that are Kiwiana but that would go on for far to long.


I found it challenging to write why I believe that that item is kiwiana because it is tricky to explain how this represents NZ.
I really enjoyed thinking about things that we only have over here and not over in other countries and its weird to think that other countries don't have those things. I also really enjoyed creating the DLO with the images of the Kiwiana Items.






Thank you all so much for coming onto my blog and I really hope that you all come back again. Please leave a positive, thoughtful, Helpful comment down below and I will take all of you feedback and improve it. 
Goodbye until Next time!

For the first one I will be sharegin my drawing of the warden , The warden is the owner of the camp and everyone is always respecting her, she is a very powerful women and everyone obeys her.

I will also be sharing my wanted poster of Kissin Kate Barlow, SHe is one of the most interesting characters in the story so far she is one of the most dangerous villains and robbers ever she turned into a robber once the people of her town ( camp green lake ) killed her love. She then started lifting people and after she did so she applied red lipstick and kissed them this is because the person who killed her love asked for a kiss before he did.

WhoOpS! Home Learning

Kia Ora!
Welcome Back!
This is again another one of my home learning blogs and I hope you all enjoy.

Today, I will be sharing with you my own movie poster!
The instructions for this week is about movies and if there was a movie  about my life what would it be called? Why?
I have added in actors that partly resemble my family or resemble how they act or they members of my family really like them.

The Name of my movie is : WhoOpS!
I really liked this title because I think that it shares the fact that we make mistakes but they dont always need to be bad or awful. I also think it's pretty different.

I have created a poster of all of the family members with their names what their relation to me is and what actor is going to be playing them.

I hope that you enjoy!


Thank you all so much for coming onto my blog and please Leave a Positive, Thoughtful, Helpful  Comment and I will be so grateful on what you think I could improve on and what my next steep isa and I will work hard on improving that next home learning post.

Forseable Future

Kia ora!
Welcome Back !
My name is Maddison and I am super excited to share with you all today mine and my best friends Shays digi awards plan.


We have laid out what we are going to do on the slide and what the steps we need to take before finishing the final product.
We will be doing a pick a path story on a google slide to share the wonderful new innovations of  our home Christchurch.
That is the theme for Digi Awards 2019, Innovation Otautahi.


Do you know what a pick a path is? It is a wonderful way to make the story your own it is almost like a game but a game in a version of storytelling, So you will be faced with two or more options and whatever you pick will change the story.
If you pick the wrong answer you will be sent to the start etc.


We have planned out all of the options and you will have a tour through some of the best rooms in the new library. We will also be doing the cathedral.
The challenging thing was trying to work out all of the rooms and where they will take them
My favorite part is creating the part where we discuss what we are doing with the creative part 


Keep a Lookout for our digi awards in the foreseeable future!


Thanks For watching and please please come back to my blog and leave a positive thoughtful helpful comments and I will reply and read all of them please tell me what you think I can improve on!!

The Tire Swing.

Kia Ora!!
Welcome Back!

My Name is Maddison and I thank you all for coming on to my blog!
Today's blog post is going to be focused don the book I have been blogging and reading about it is called... The Boy And The Striped Pajamas!
It is going to be another one of my responses that I have been working on focusing on one chapter of the book. This is chapter seven. Before I share my work on chapter 7 I would like to give you all a summary of chapter 7 this is because it will be better and easier for you to understand my work and where it is coming from.

Summary of chapter 7.
Title Of The Chapter: How Mother Took Credit For Something She Hadn't Done.

Bruno the main character is getting bored at his new house in Out-With He has explored every corner of the house and has grown tired of its boring dull ectetick.
He desided to take matters into his own hands and one day when all of the adults in the house were gone ( except the butler Pavel ) He create a tire swing on the huge tree in his backyard. He went around asking some of the working soldiers around his property if they had a spare tire ( even though he didn't particularly like them ) Eventually he finally got hold of the tire he wished for and got some tick rope from the basement and put his plan to action. He Climbed up of the tree and started working the rope and tire to the strongest branch and after a tiring session he finally got to enjoy his creation. He was swinging back and forth thinking alone in his head ( although the swing wasn't very comfy  ) He pushed just enough to hit the strong trunk with his legs to give him enough air to do it again and again until he fell face first on the right ground, he tried his hardest not to cry as Pavel ( the only adult and the waiter ) came to his rescue him carrying him inside and placing green ointment on his leg.
The he eventually found out Pavel was once a waiter. He was shocked at this leaving him to have more and more questions in his mind. Then Mother came home Bruno told mother all about it and then he was sent to his room, he over heare mother talking to pavel saying if Father asked we will say I ( mother ) clean bruno up. This made Bruno confused.



My Work!
Enjoy!

Incase you cant read the writing it says. "This is my response. I have decided to make my response based on the main part of the chapter, this is when bruno creates a tire swing and collapses of it and to his surprise pavel rushed to save him and I think that was the main part of the story"



Thank You all for coming onto my blog and there will be more response blog post coming soon. Please leave a positive thoughtful Helpful comment down below on what you thought about the published piece of work that I have made! Thank you again!

A Picture Paints A Thousand Words HOME LEARNING

Kia Ora!

Welcome!

Today is going to be another one of my blogs about home learning.
This week is going to be completely based around a small picture. It has many different meanings and depending on you point of view you could see and think about different things.

The Image.


What I think it means.
I think that it is the mind and  there are light and happy thoughts and their are sad and dark thoughts. I think that it is present really well and I love to think about all of the possibilities that it  could have.

I have created a slide focused on this image.

My slide.


Thanks I cant wait for you all to come back to my blog please come back and leave a comment. I cant wait to read them! I will reply to all of them and please leave some feedback on my work and I will keep improving next time.Thanks again.

Striped Pajamas Are The New Trend!!!


Kia Ora!

This is again another one of my responses to the boy in the striped pajamas book.
I really enjoy the prosses of making one of these responses and I enjoy having to work with different people to get an idea of what trehy like to do with their work and then what I like to do with my work and then we both get to see how the team worked together and what we have made from that.

Because I really enjoyed the prosses I desided to create a little drawing of the proses instead of writing it out directly onto the blog.

I was  teaming up with a girl in my class named Abby she was a huge help creating the response and I think we did very well.

I do think that we have only made a small slide as our DLO/Response together but I do think that it looks very interesting and fun and I hope you all enjoy it.
We have both gotten all of the information shared from the book.

What I found challenging: I think that it was pretty challenging to create and answer the questions together because we both have different points of views but I do think that it turned out well and I think that now the answers are quick and easy to read.
What I enjoyed most: I really enjoyed making everything look amazing and I really liked answering the thoughts and feelings.
My next step would be to try and make a DLO on a different source other than a google slide.


My DLO.


                   

Thanks and I really hoped you enjoyed my response with what I have done and learnt a little about the process it took for me and Abby to create pour work.
I really hope that you all leave a comment and come back to my blog again!.
Have you read this book?
No Spoilers if you have!
Did you enjoy it?

My Playground!

Kia Ora! Welcome Back!

HAPPY MATHS WEEK!

In RImu we have been ,making the most of national maths week we have all picked one out of the nine activities to work on by yourself or in pairs. I have desided to work with my amazing friend Shay. We have not yet finished the work that we have been doing but we want some feedback on what we have done so far to maybe make things easier and to share the process we have been following.

First We had to choose one of the activity and me and shay both picked to create a playground. But yet there is some rules to follow to make sure that creating a playground bleeds into the fact that this is yet maths, so the rules are that there has to be a water feature, the perimeter has to add up to 150 me and Shay desided to go with 10x15 inches.
Next we had to get planning we mapped out a plan on google slides to create an idea of what we are doing. It was so much easier to do it on slides than with cardboard I tell ya.
Soon after we got it cheeked by the teacher and then got started.
After That we then created the first step into making this playground by making a water feature.
We then started on the main playground part.
We did all of these tings by creating 3d shapes we worked with cardboard and paint.

Thanks ENJOY!





Thanks and Please please please add in some feedback on what we can do better or how to make things easier me and shay would appreciate  it very much and would love to read some of your comments! Thanks!

Speech

Kia Ora!
Welcome to or back to my blog!

Today I will be shearing my speech that I have been working on.
I really want to get some feedback on it before I share it to the class so I desired to share it with you guys first!
My speech title is about goals and why they are important. It is a persuasive speech majority of the class is doing persuasive speeches instead  of informative.
I am really proud of my speech so far and have been practising it for the past few days.
I am trying to learn it of by heart and work on how to not stutter and to continue to look up at my audience.
I am a little nervous of shearing it to the class but I really want to get over that fear and be confident. I think this will help.
Enjoy!

Thanks for reading my blog please come back and leave comments. I cant wait to get all of your feedback and I hope that I can reply to all of them and make some improvements in my speech.
Thanks and have any of you guys done a speech? What what it about? Were you nervous?
Let Me Know!

Bruno's Father.

Kia Ora!

This is another one of my responses to the Boys In The Striped Pajamas.

This response is on  if Bruno's  ( the main characters  ) father is a good man or a bad one.
Before I share it with you guys I am going to fill you up on what Bruno's father does and who he is.
According to the book so far he is a very powerful man he is believed to own or work at concentration camps for hitler if you don't know what those are a long time ago people used to hold people that believed in different things than them. It was horrific. Bruno can see a consentration camp from his window and his head fills with many questions. Bruno's father is creating his kids to agree with everything he agrees with. He has done some good thing for his servants a long time ago but now he doesn't treat them with respect.
Thanks and enjoy :).



Thanks for coming onto my blog I hoped you enjoyed my slide and I cant wait to read your comments. Please come back to my earning blog and have you read the book, the boy in the striped pajamas? Please give me feedback on my slide so I can improve next time.
Thanks

Maths!

Kia Ora!
Welcome back!

Today I will be sharing some of the maths I have been doing and how I have solved the problems. This week we have been doing probability. I have shared it on bite able but when you do watch the video please keep in mind I don't usually use bite able but I thought that it would be fun to try.

I really enjoyed creating the bite able and doing the maths work and I do think that I have unproved than where I have started with probability instead of using the words e.g Likely unlikely etc I have been using percentages and fractions to share the probability. I still don't think that I have mastered it because I still do have some problems but I am proud of the fact that I have improved.

My favorite part in the maths that I have done is the first few slide where you have to fill in a table and then based on the table answer questions. My challenge that I go over would have to be some of the slides that I didn't get properly and then worked on it further until I finished and understand it.

Thanks and enjoy.


Maths Blog Post on Biteable.

I hope you enjoyed and I cant wait to read all of your comments and I will  reply to all of them and fix my mistakes.
