~Fake News~

Konbanwa Everyone! 

These past few weeks we have been learning a lot of things about media and like my other post we were constructing out own type of media to ;w; Since we did that about 2 weeks ago last week we were learning about fake medias and how to spot when something is most likely FAKE!

One of the clues is when the URL will have something like .com.co at the end or another clue is that if you can search up on google and if it comes up with things that irrelevant to the topic than that means it is fake. Another clue is when they use click bait so they can have a pic of something but when you read it is about something totally different ;p

After learning a bunch of things about fake media we were challenged to make our own kind of news  about something and then write about something different from what the title of our article is about! Here is mine. 

I did mine on Piktochart and i didn't really know what to do so I just came up with this!

BYEEE x

♡~Food Critic~♡

Ohayo!

Since, I'm pretty sure 2 weeks ago, we have been looking at different types of medias e.g ads and social medias and different kind of things like that and we have also been learning about constructing medias as well ;p

After learning about these different things and steps to make your own kind of media we went off and were challenged to make our own kind of media about something that has happened at school, let it be maybe about camp and different things like that! I decided that I would do one writing as a food critic and talking about the foods that we had at camp♡

My site is called "reallifeanimefood?" ;) I also made my article kind of thing on Piktochart! I put different ads on the side as well which was something that we were told to include. I can't put the pic of my thing here because the ads won't work so here is the link to it!

Maths DLO

 Aloha!~

Since this week I´m pretty sure, I have been working on a maths DLO for changing improper fractions into whole numbers and vice versa on book creator which has been really fun to do! I found it really fun to use and it was also my first time using it to ;w;. I also didn´t find anything about it hard at all so that was nice to but I´m not able to post it rn but it will be coming later on. 

I think you should all use this app sometime to! 

Bye!

Maori Language Week!

 Kia Ora ;)

Last week, as you may know, was Maori Language week! Since it was Maori Language week in our reading tasks we had to make a DLO of some sort teaching about Maori and the different things to it like the alphabet for example. This was also when our class learnt about a site called book creator which we use a lot now!

I was going to do it on book creator but then I kind of got annoyed and ended up doing it on google slides which was also fun to do as well!

Something I enjoyed about this was being able to put whatever I wanted in it and I think I did better in this then I have done in my other DLOs and something I found hard was really nothing, it was a fun experience!

                          

7 Sacraments Work!

Hii!

This week and last week our class has been learning about the Sacraments and what they mean. There are the Sacraments of Initiation which are Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation, Sacraments of Healing which are Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick and then Sacraments of Commitment which are Marriage and the Holy Orders.

For these we had to do a bunch of activities about them and it took me a while to do all of them but i finally finished! 

Something I enjoyed about doing this was being able to use different sites for each DLO I did and something I found hard was using Scratch shapes because it was kinda hard to draw on it but I had to use it though, but I got it done ;A;

Here is my first one: (I used book creator)

My second one: (I just used Canva)

My third one: 

And last I screen castifyed it and I had given up at the end to ;w;

(The book creator one might not be up right now but it will be up soon!)

Hope you all have a great day <3 ;)

Student Summit Toolkit!

ANNYEONG!

For about 2 weeks now a group of students have been getting ready to present for the Student Summit Toolkit;) This day included all the schools in the Uru Manuka cluster! They had to prepare a slide, showing how to use different sites for learning, and the other schools were also making their own slides for it as well. They also had to be prepared because they would be presenting it on google hangouts!

The day before this we had to fill out a form picking which ones we wanted to learn about and we were also told we had to bring our head/ear phones or else we wouldn´t be able to join in! We had it today and we had to go onto the sessions at certain times and after the session we were to fill out a form giving feedback!

One of the sessions I joined was learning how to draw shapes on scratch! I had to join this call twice because on the sessions it said that for me;( In the video we learnt how to code it to make the pen draw the shape for us. I also had to ask them to slow down a couple of times because I kept getting confused but then it was ok! After learning how to code it we had to make 2 shapes of our own but that was kinda hard...

Another one of the sessions was learning how to use stop motion animation which was pretty fun and easy as well! All we had to do was get an object like paper and then move it around while taking pictures of it and it came out really cool! 

Something I liked about this was being able to interact with other students and something I found hard was trying to follow what they were doing without getting lost.

Hope you liked this blog post and ciao~

Pope Inquiry!

 Aloha!

Last week for one of the R.E lessons we were doing we had to make an inquiry about the Pope and these were the 5 different topics that we could make it about:

Important events in the life of Pope Francis - Popes of the 21st Century - The Pope’s Home (The Vatican) - An Encyclical written by the Pope - Pick your own topic

After picking one of these topics ( I chose important events in the life of Pope Francis) we had to make three question using When or What for the first one, How or Why for the second and Is, Could, Would or Should for the last. After making the questions we had to give three answers for each question. I made my Inquiry on a slideshow!

Something I found hard about this was I didn't really what kind of question I should've used but I think these are good;)

Something I liked about this was reading all the info about what the Pope had done in his life!

Maori Art

 Kia Ora!

This week and the following weeks our class will be focusing on art for topic! The first thing that we needed to do was learn about the kind of art that we will be doing and so we are learning about Maori art ;) Maori art includes specifically Korus and Kowhaiwhai so we had to learn about the different things they are used for and what they signify. After reading about the different things we had to answer the questions what, how and why they are used as well. 

QnA

What are Korus and Kowhaiwhai used for? : They are used to tell the history of Maori and the tribe that you are in and Koru's are used for the Kowhaiwhai design.

How are they used?: They are usually used on ceilings in places like Maraes and they are also tattooed on which is the kind of design used for a Moko or it can be carved and also for Maori art!

Why are they used?: The Koru is used because it symbolizes peace, new life, growth and strength and it's name means loop in Maori because it uncurls while it is growing! 

Venn Diagram about Pirate Jobs!

This week and last week we had to make a Venn diagram about pirates and their jobs on deck. On one side we had to put pirates that work on land and on the other side we had to put jobs of pirates that work at sea and then in the middle it was the jobs that were on both. 

Something we also had to include was what job we would want to do if we were a pirate. I would be a Cabin Boy ;) I don't really know why I would want to be a Cabin Boy but that was the one that I was most interested in! 

Something I found hard about this was that I was kind of confused on which one they went on and I still am but I tried ;) 

Something I liked was reading about the different jobs of the pirates.

What pirate job would you choose to do if you could?

Piracy Throughout the Years :0

Hii! This week and last week for topic we had to make a timeline about piracy throughout the years. It had to be from the 15th century to the 20th which is now. Me and a lot of people were writing down notes about each century and the different pirates because we had to include where exactly they would operate and we could include famous pirates in that century. It was kinda hard to find pirates in the 19th and 18th century but I completed it so that was okay. ;)

 Something I enjoyed about making this timeline was putting all the info onto the timeline because it was fast and easy. Something I found hard was like how I said it was kinda hard to look for info about the 18th and 19th century and it was also kind of hard to write about a bunch of different pirates but yea. 

Here is my time line ;w;

Cipher Wheels

Hi! This week we were learning about codes and mostly cipher wheels ;) 

We had to make our own cipher wheels on Tuesday and we had to make some codes and give it to our buddy and with those codes they had to try and crack it using the cipher wheels and then find the treasure that we hid which was a crunchie bar :)

 

Something I found hard about this was at the beginning I didn't understand it but it was OK because Ms Wilton explained it to our class so it was algoods after that.

Something  Iliked about this was finding the treasure that Tweeny hid for me because I thought it was fun having to crack the code before hand. 

Here's my cipher wheel.

Subaru

Aloha ;0

This week for reading we were assigned more Matariki work! This time we learned about Pleiades around the world and we had to pick a country and learn about what there kind of symbol for Matariki is;)

I chose Japan as mine and we had to make a DLO to teach other people about what we learnt from this and so I did mine on canva.

Something I like about this activity was the learning part because I liked learning about what symbol of Matariki they used to represent it. Something I found hard about this was I was kind of confused at the start about what we actually had to do but it was much easier once someone explained to me what it was that we had to do. 

RE Comics!!

Konnichiwa Everyone;) 

Today in RE we did Key Idea 4 and watched a video and after watching the video we had to do the first task on the site which was watch three videos about what Jesus did after getting baptized and then we needed to either make a timeline or a comic of what happened after Jesus' baptism! Here are the links to the three videos.  1 st video, 2nd and 3rd!!!

Something I liked about this activity was you could put what you wanted to put in the comic or timeline and something I found hard was trying to look for a good picture to use because I used canva and all the photos were pro so I couldn't use them so I traced my own Jesus and John the baptist, so, that was alright!

Here's my comic ;)

Hope you liked it and have a great day!

The Baptism Of Jesus (News Report)

Kia Ora Everyone!

Last week in our class in RE we had to watch a video at the start and then do 2 activities afterwards. One of the activities was about when Mary was first told about being chosen to be the mother of Gods son Jesus and the other activity was about when Jesus was baptized by John the baptist in the Jordan river and on the second activity we had to do a news report about the baptism.

I used a News Reporter generator to make it look like an actual news report in a newspapers so that was cool ;)

I didn't find anything hard with writing about this news report and it was nice because it was an easy task to do! Something I liked was using the News Reporter generator thing like I said because I just thought it was cool!

Disclaimer: My writing piece is pretty small and in the generator thing all the left over space is kind of like another made up story about something so you don't have to read the other things in the newspaper report ;)

Here it is! ( I couldn't show the top of the news report because there wasn't enough room but it said Sunday Times at the top ;) )

Matariki

This week we have been set a task about Matariki since it is coming up soon.

There were four sites we had to go on to collect info about Matariki and there were also 2 videos as well! In one of the sites we also had to do a quiz about Matariki and I did mine in a doc. After going though all of these sites we had to create a DLO talking about Matariki and sharing our info we have learnt. 

I used powtoon for my DLO! 

Here is the link to the Powtoon 

Hope you liked it ;)

The Holy Spirit

Konnichiwa!

Yesterday we were learning about the different names of the Spirit of God we were assigned a gospel to read and then we had to try and figure out which name they were referring to. When I did it with my buddy we got Gardener as the name of the Spirit of God and then we had to draw a kind of symbol to represent it on a piece of paper and it had to look presentable because it was going on the wall!

We drew a forest with a gardener in it and put the bible reference! Today we could choose to either use that one or choose another bible verse to do and I chose to do another bible verse. In the verse they were referring to the Spirit of God as Mother Eagle so I drew an Eagle! 

The verse was from Deuteronomy 32:11 and in the verse it was referring to God as Mother Eagle because he is always looking over us and protecting us like an Eagle with their children would do. 

I think ways I can show that I have the Holy Spirit in me is by showing the fruits of the spirit and just trying my best to forgive others and treat others the way that I would've wanted to be treated. 

Here is the picture that I drew! 

Hope you liked it and have a great week! ;)

Reading Activites!

Kia Ora everyone!

This week in school we could do what ever subject we wanted to do and complete our work in that subject so I mainly worked on doing reading work most of the time.

Our teacher decided to change the way that we were doing our activities because before we would do the same activities every year and it was getting boring, so now we have cards that have different texts on them. I chose mainly the drawing ones!

Something that's also new to reading is that if we do some work and we really like it then we can ask Ms Wilton if she can hang it on the wall and so we have a lot of different activities that people have done, hung on the wall and I think that it looks really cool.

I did an activity where we had to change the cover of the book and make our own and include the author and illustrator and Ms Wilton already hung that up on the wall! I did another activity where we had to make a house for the main character in the story that we were reading. In my house I kind of made it messy because the character in the book has a car and the car is really messy and he never has the time to clean it or is just too lazy to clean it so, I feel like that would also happen in his house as well. 

It's really blurry but I added a bedroom, lounge, front door kind of looking in and a kitchen!

Something I liked about this was the drawing part I kind of gave up on colouring but I still like the way it looked.

I didn't find anything hard doing this activity and actually really liked it!

Hope you liked this post ;)

Pick A Path Story "The Field Trip"

Aloha Everyone!

Through quarantine in writing we have been working on a Pick A Path Story. I finished mine at home in quarantine and then at school Ms Wilton wanted us to make some pictures for our story and so I made 2! One of the main girl Lily and her teacher Mrs Brown;)

I found it fun writing the story because we could do whatever we wanted but we had to kind of base if off of the woods but mine wasn't really about the woods that much:) It was still nice getting to write though. Something that I found hard in this was coming up with things to write about like what was going to happen next because I didn't really know where the story was going so I tried my best. It was also kind of hard putting everything in the google form because I had a lot of sections and some things weren't going where they were supposed to go when you clicked on it but i fixed that all up!

Here is my pic a path story and hope you liked it!

 

Even though we are going to school and things are getting better, still remember to wash your hands everyday!!! 

Bye!;)

Becoming More Like Jesus!

Annyeonghaseyo Everyone!

Since in New Zealand we have gone down to Level 2 with the COVID - 19 we were going back to school today. Some people were very excited to see everybody or just to go back and some liked home school better. I also liked home school a lot but it's nice to see everyone! In our school we are still trying our best to keep our distance and we had to bring tissues, a bottle because we aren't allowed to use the fountain and hand sanitizer. 

Since its been a while since we've been in school we mostly just worked on one thing which was our RE and we got to work on writing afterwards. In the RE it was to make a DLO about becoming more like Jesus. So teaching people about what they can do to become more like Jesus. I liked this activity because it was easy to do and we had the whole day for it. 

I made a Powtoon for it and I think this is the first time I've made a Powtoon for a blog post!

You might have already known this about I hope it did help a little bit more;)

Even though we are already at Level 2 and if we go down to Level 1 or its fully stopped, make sure to still wash your hands!

States Of Matter

Aloha everyone!

This week on Friday we were given the task to learn about the States Of Matter! We had to look through the slideshow that talked about the 3 different types of matter which were solid, liquid and gas! After looking through the slideshow and reading everything there was a google form to do to test you on how much you learnt from it! I got 12/12 from it. After this there was the activity! In the activity it was teaching us about the matters and we had to make oobleck but on our hangout call Ms Wilton said if we don´t have the ingredients for oobleck we can make something else because its just supposed to be showing the changes. She even said we could just make an omelette and put cheese in it because it would melt and you can´t change that back into it form so I did!

I made a cheese omelette to show a change of matter. The eggs were like a liquid matter because it changed its shape to fit into the bowl or the pan, and the cheese was a solid because it stayed the same if I put it in the eggs. But when it was done the egg turned into a solid and the cheese melted. It kinda looked bad cause it kept breaking when I was trying to lift it from the pan ;(

I gave it to my sister cause I don´t like cheese but she said it was good!

Something I found hard was making this omelette and I don´t know why I think it was the transferring part and it took agesss

Something I liked about this was learning more about the different types of matter!
