The NED Show!

Hey Bloggers!

I'm back! A few weeks ago we had a very fun show named The NED Show in our school hall! A man showed us lots of cool tricks with yo-yo's and kindly gave us some to sell to the students. The show was funny and helpful. NED Stands for: Never give up, Encourage others and Do your best. The show was not only about doing yo-yo tricks, but it was about never giving up on anything you do. 

Here are some photos of  the day!

My favourite part of the show was when he did tricks like around the world with the yo-yo and when he made all of us laugh. Something that I learnt is how to use a yo-yo and to never give up. Maybe The NED Show will come to your school to perform. Feel free to leave a positive, helpful and thoughtful comment.

Interland DLO!

Hey bloggers! Today for cyber smart, we were told to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about  game, Interland. On our DLO, it had to say what it was about and you had to explain the stages in it. If you don't know what Interland is, its a game where it helps you become cyber smart on the internet. There are different stages named Mindful mountain, Reality river, Kind Kingdom, Tower of treasure.

 Here is my DLO!

The DLO was a little easy but took a pretty long time to make. My favourite part was playing the game for the screencastify. I have a question, have you guys played Interland, and if you have, what is your favourite stage? My favourite stage is Reality river, If you would like to play the game, here is the link . Feel free to leave a, positive, helpful, and thoughtful comment.

Cross Country!!!

Hey Bloggers! I'm back. A few weeks ago on Monday, it was our annual Cross Country day! All of us had a blast. All the year sixes had to lead small games while a year group is running. If you don't know what Cross Country day is, its when a year level group runs around the school.The people who place in the top 5 from year 4 onwards,  goes to Cross Country Zones. Here are some photos of the day!

This day was really fun but at the the same time tiring. Out of the year 6 girls, I came 3rd place so that means i'll be going to zones. I have a question to ask, does your school have a Cross Country day, and if your school does, what place did you come this year? Feel free to leave a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment.

Technology Rotation!

Hey bloggers! For the past few weeks on Fridays, the whole Te Waka Ako have been doing a rotation. Hauraki first started of by making geoboards with wood, hammers and nails. We had to measure around 2 centimetres between the nails. Then when you were finished, you could play with it with rubber bands. Then the next Friday, we did some kind of a technology challenge with Mr R. Basically you had to get in groups of 3. After, you got handed some items to create a structure that has to be strong and long enough to hold a marble from a table. Then with Mr Riceman, we made a circuit with a LED light and a battery. You had to make the longest circuit you could.

Here are some photos of the rotations!

Final touch on the structure!

The geoboards that are finishes

I think that these sessions were really helpful because everyone learnt something new. I learnt how to make a circuit with LED lights, a battery and some more items. All these sessions were really fun. Some of the sessions were frustrating and caused you to use your perseverance, especially with Mr Riceman. Maybe you could try making a geoboard or a circus.

My Play Dough Stop Motion

Hey Bloggers! I'm back! Today we were asked to make a stop motion video so that we can get ready for the Ako Hiko Film Festival. We did this last week and this week. I didn't save last week's one but I saved today's one. We used playdough to play around with. If you don't know what Stop motion is, it's when you take small snap shots to make a movie.
 Here is my Stop Motion.

I think next time I could make it a little shorter and have more items in it. Other than that I think that I did it really good. Maybe you should try making stop motion video. You can download the app on chromebooks and on more devices. Feel free to leave a positive, helpful and thoughtful comment.

Cybersmart Commenting!

Hey viewers, I'm back with my learning. How was your 2 week holiday been, Mine was really fun. For Cybersmart last week, we were told to comment on someones blog in our school. Straight after we commented, we smrfed a drawing, copied and pasted our comment on the drawing. After, we had to improve/change our comment. There were three boxes that could help us with it. The boxes included PTH. (Positive, helpful and thoughtful) When you were finished you had to pick a buddy (My buddy was Abby)  and you had to read out both of the comments.

Here is my drawing!

I think that this was a great way to improve how you write your comments. My favourite part was improving my comment because next time I comment, I can add in my changes. My changes were adding my blog link, adding some better vocab and asking a question. Maybe you could try this, it could improve your commenting. Feel free to comment something positive.
