Current Events

 

This week the whole class did the last current events quiz for 2020 and it was all about some of the interesting things that happened over this year. Out of all of the questions I chose to research the most beautiful town in NZ. I hope my slide informs you about hastings and what it got awarded.

Summer Learning Journey #1

 This is the first SLJ activity for 2020 and its a colouring website that you can choose a painting then you can customise it. I decided that I would only change the sky colour to fit the look of the painting. I really liked doing this because there is heaps of different options of paintings and photos. 

MY Current Events

This is my current events presentation all about what the UK is banning by the year 2030. We started off with doing a class quiz on all of the current events, once that was finished we each got to chose one current event to further research. I really enjoyed doing this activity because I got to research a topic that I wanted to earn more about.

 

Current Events

My Current Events

 Recently New Zealand held a Diwali festival in Auckland and I wanted to research more about it for my current events. I liked this activity because we started by doing a quiz on current events then we chose one question to research more about. I hope that my presentation helps you understand more about the festival Diwali.

The Melbourne Cup

Today I made and researched about the Melbourne cup and some main things about it.I really enjoyed doing this because it was a quick and easy activity to learn more about something. I recommend doing this for anyone that needs to research something but they need to make a presentation fast.
 

Current Events

This week we did a current event quiz and one of the questions was about the first black women vice president, Kamala Harris. I liked this activity because it allowed me to research more about the vice president.
 

Sportsmanship Pamphlet

Today I made a pamphlet for the last activity this week . This pamphlet is all about teaching others how to show sportsmanship and what it's all about. I liked this activity because it was a whole different way to present my work. The most challenging part about this was organizing all of the information.

 

How to show sportsmanship

This is another activity that we are doing to learn and understand what sportsmanship represents. This activity is all about how we can use sportsmanship in our everyday lives instead of just in sports. I really liked this activity because then this can help others in their community.

 

Sportsmanship Learning

 This is one of the other activities we are doing for this week's work. This slide is about the three major Olympic values and how to be gracious. I really enjoyed doing this activity because allowed me to learn more about the Olympic games and also the meaning to be gracious while playing games.

My Current Events

 

Today we did a quiz on all of the current events that have been on the news and once we had finished the quiz everyone got to choose a specific question that they found interesting to research. I chose the question about NASA finding traces of lunar water on the sunlit side of the moon. I really enjoyed this activity because it allows me to figure out more about the subject instead of just writing something about a subject I already know about. 

My Sportsmanship Word Map

 This is the second activity I did this week and this one is about choosing a word and writing the definition, finding a picture that represents it, and writing a couple other facts. I think this activity really helped me understand and bit more about the word respect means and what it represents.

My Comparing and Contrasting Activity

WALT: Make connections by thinking about underlying ideas within and between texts.

This is my first activity for this week, it's about comparing the article about Marion Jones and the Spain basketball team and what they both did to win Olympic medals and how they regretted it later in their lives. I really enjoyed doing this activity because it allowed me to have a different understanding of both of the articles and how much everyone regrets their mistakes.

Make connections by thinking about underlying ideas within and between texts

 

My Maths DLO

 MY DLO

Today we were learning about Integers. First, we completed a test on positive and negative integers, then we studied how to work them out. Lastly, we made a DLO explain how to work it out to others. I hope this helps.

Alfred Nobel

 

Today our class did a current event Kahoot which I found really fun even though I didn't come first. After that our teacher chose one of the current event for us to research. Today we were doing Alfred Nobel and what he's all about. I decided to make a few slides to explain it to you. I really enjoyed this activity because as I was making the slides I got to learn some facts about him myself. The most challenging part of this was finding the right information for the questions I chose but once I found the right website it was much easier. I hope this explains a bit about Alfred Nobel and clears up a couple questions you might have had about him.

My Answers for sportsmanship

 

WALT: Read an article then answer questions about the text.

These are the answers to a couple of questions about the famous tennis player named Novak Djokovic and what he did. I really enjoyed this because it just helped me understand the article a bit more and how it all happened.

Sportsmanship words

 

WALT: Make connections by thinking about underlying ideas within and between texts.

This term we are learning about sportsmanship. The first activity we did was to write down 8 words to represent sportsmanship. I really enjoyed doing this because it was simple but fun. 

Make connections by thinking about underlying ideas within and between texts

My DLO's

Parts of a circle

Edes, verticles, and faces

WALT: Make a DLO for two things that we didn't know how to do.

This week we did two tests to find two spacific things that we need to work on then we worked out how to do them and lastly made a DLO showing others how to work it out.I really enjoyed doing this because as I was teaching others how to do this maths with the DLO;s I also got to learn myself. I hope my videos help you.

My Current Events

This is my current events work. One of the current events was that the Taj Mahal was reopening after being closed for 6 months due to COVID 19. The most challenging part of this was probably spelling everything correctly. I really enjoyed doing this because as I was writing this I learnt that the building had been closed for quite a while and I hope you learn something while reading this too.
 

My NZ Tour

 

This is my NZ tour for the third activity. This is just simply adding in the main places to New Zealand. I think that it is very important to the Maori culture to know some of the places where it all started. I really enjoyed doing this becasue I got to explore where it all started.

My Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori Poster

 

This is the second activity I have done for this week. I hope you like what I have made for this week. I really enjoyed making this poster because it was really easy and it looks great as well. What do you think of my poster?

My GIF Maui Capturing The Sun

 

This week is Te Reo Maori week and for that our class is doing an arrangement of activities based on the Maori language and culture. The first activity that I did is this GIF of Maui capturing the sun. I really enjoyed doing this because it was difficult making it look right and the movement for the GIF but fun once it was finished. I think it turned out pretty good, how do you think I did?

Paroa School Disco Reflection

On the 6th of August, the Paroa disco was on and me and some other people were organizing it. We spent the whole day setting up the posters, food, and decorations. Firstly we had to make all of the posters inside to show people what's available and what the prices are.

Next, we decided to start making the food which was 50c bags of popcorn, $1 bags of lollies, and last but not least pre-packed bags of chips. Due to the virus, we had to wear masks and gloves so we weren't contaminating the food. In the last block, we had to start decorating which was the most stressful but the most fun. We had balloons and streamers and of course, party lights to light up the photo booth and the rest of the hall. 

Overall I think the Disco went really well and that everyone enjoyed it. We also ended up selling all of the glowing things and most of the food.

Generation Zero

This is about generation zero and what they are doing for the world. I really enjoyed doing this because I learnt about totally new goals for the world and how to achieve them.

Cause And Effect Climate Change

This week we learned about climate change. We got to find the causes and effects of each problem to do with global warming . I really enjoyed doing this because it showed me some more different causes of climate change and what we can do to help.

Hello... Goodbye Poem

This is my Hello Goodbye Poem. I really enjoyed doing this because it was all about the lockdown and things that we liked and disliked about it compared to being at school. The challenging part about this is trying to write about things that are about similar themes. If I could change anything about it I would probably add a couple more paragraphs but other than that I think it was really fun to make.

I really enjoyed making this art because I had never tried or seen it before and the type of art allowed me to be very creative and make whatever I wanted. It was challenging when I was making the yin and yang piece to make sure that both sides were equal but after a couple tries, I got it.
