Online learning day 8

Hey bloggers,

For my work today, it was a bit more crafty. Today I made a giant poppy out of a long stick and a red shopping bag. How I did it was, I cut a big hole in one side of the shopping bag and then I cut a little hole on the other. Then I got a black plastic table cloth and cut a small hole in it. Then I got the two red bits and put the little red circle in the middle and then I folded it in half and then folded it into a quarter and I pinched the bottom corner. Pinching the bottom corner start to undo it a little, then twist. Now put a nail through the middle onto a long stick. This is the final product for me.

Have you made a poppy? Did it turn out good?

I also had to do a different task, for this task I had to put emojis in order to make a saying. For example ⛰😒🧱
This would be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Do you know all of them?

Online learning day 7

Hey bloggers

For literacy today, my activity was to write a diary entry from the ANZAC soldier's point of view. I wrote mine about when the ANZAC soldiers first landed at Gallipoli. I had to write this from a 1 person view.

Hello Diary 

Today is my first day at Gallipoli and my first sight was the worst thing I have ever seen: dead bodies lined up on the beach, the injured under cliffs the size of mountains, and blood was just everywhere. It is my first day of training in the trenches and I got to hold my rifle for the first time for real.

The trenchers are just terrible, they smell like rotten canned meat and blood, and when we were fighting my friends were dropping left right and center. Any sort of fun and adventure was wiped from our minds. The food is horrible here, canned meat and hard biscuits. The taste of my own sweet was as disgusting as salty seawater. Even though the food is horrible we eat all of it because we get so little. 

The noise all around me is constantly ear piercing, the shouting, the guns, and the cries for help. The gun fires are as loud as a heavy hail banging on a tin roof, Rattata Rattata. Now I just wish I never joined the army.

Do you know anything about the Gallipoli war?

Online Learning day 6

Hey bloggers

Unfortunately, the lockdown has been extended so I will be doing this for at least 1 more week.

For literacy, my task was to watch some videos about the landing at the ANZAC war. Then see if I can write down similes our describing words for each sense.

For math today, I picked a and mark, then I got he dimension for that landmark in my case I choose MT Fuji. So I found the dimension for MT fuji, this is because I am going to apply a scaling factor to the dimensions so I can put it on a Tinkercad.

Do you know anything about ANZAC?

online learning day 4

Hey bloggers,

For literacy, we did a piece of descriptive writing about, The Man Who Walked Between The Two Towers. Most of us had no I dear who this was, but we could all kind of guess where it was. Where do you think it was? Well, it was the twin towers in New York. Here is a link to the story. We did four or five quality sentences, in a first-person view and of our character choice. Here is mine.

 I only see the string thin tight rope and the miraculous sunrise across New york. The unfinished north tower was about a football field away. I was not nervous. I had to be calm, open and close I thought. I put my first foot onto the rope that felt like air, I've dreamed of this for many years. 

For math today I made a house design, with all the measurements. My guidelines were there are two adults and 2 children in the house. So there had to be at least two bedrooms 1 bathroom one living room and one kitchen. I made this on Tinkercad.

Have you made a Tinkercad before? Had you heard of  The Man Who Walked Between The Two Towers?

Online Learning Day 3

Hey bloggers,
Its day 3 of online learning and here's what I had to do.
For numeracy, I had to pick out an object in my house and see if it could fit in your bubble which has a two-meter radius. Here's how I did it.

For literacy, I had to make a photo album of things I have been doing in my bubble. This can include watching TV, skipping, running anything really. What I did is on this slide show presentation.


 

Have you done a photo album before? What did you do it on? Have you done work on the two-meter bubble yet?

Day 2 Online Learning

Hey Bloggers

This is day 2 of online learning, what I had to do today for math was a scavenger hunt of measurement. I had to find things around my home things that were long, heavy and had a capacity. Then I had to put them with the appropriate measurement term.




Have you done a scavenger hunt before?

Welcome to term 2 2020!

Kia ora bloggers,

As a new term starts covid - 19 is still going around and New Zealand is in lockdown. That means we are not allowed to go to school, so the teachers have set up our classes online. How this work is we have a google meet in the morning at 9 am and a google meet at 2:30 pm. In the morning meeting, they tell us what we need to do and then in the afternoon meeting they see if we have done it. Today was the first day of this program. 

For my literacy work, I had to make a timetable. This included when I'm going to do my literacy work and when I am going to do my numeracy work and my lunchtimes and morning tea times.

  For my numeracy work, we are working on the properties of 3d shapes. What we had to do was collect some items from inside our house and then work out how many vertices, edges, and faces they had.

Have you done online schooling? What did you have to do?
