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 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 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?

How To Reflect Shapes

This is my video showing you how to reflect something using maths. I really enjoyed doing this because I get to teach someone else how to do it and so it is easy for you to understand.

Battleships Game

This is my score on battleships. I really enjoyed playing this although it didn't use coordinates it was still fun and the graphics were really cool as well. The challenging part about this game trying to find the enemy's ships but that just makes it more fun.

My Maths DLO

This is my DLO for how to work out point symmetry. I really enjoyed doing this because this video can help other people understand point symmetry.

My Spinning Disc

Spinning Disc Video 

This is my spinning disc video. The goal for this is that when you spin this disc it turns yellow but the disc is made of green and red. Your eyes make you see yellow but when you mix red and green paint it turns brown. I really enjoyed making this experiment because it was simple and it was very successful in real life. Hope you give this experiment ago because it is a real brain teaser.

Film Festival video

WALT:  Write a script and film a video for the film festival representing our school.

This is what Me, Bella, Maya, and Jason have made for the film festival

This is our film 2.0 because we showed the class our film and then we got feedback like how it was a bit confusing and it needed a bit more detail and then we acted on that feedback to make it better than before. I thought that filming the different angles was quite challenging but the planning was really fun because we could use our imagination.

Making Courses for coding robots

WALT: Make a course for the sphero robots.
Me and Maya's course has a bridge that goes over blue water and rocks. The bridge is made out of clear plastic so you can see the water underneath and there is also a tunnel that is now made out of cardboard. We tested out our course and the sphero can't go over the bridge but we have fixed it so there is a sign saying go over if you dare so people don't go over the bridge and they go around it on the side path.  Our next step is to code the robots to go over the course by itself and we don't need to drive it over.
