Wonderful Week 7

Kia Ora Bloggers,

This week, we have had a normal week except we had a mufti day on Friday. We usually bring a gold coin donation but this time, we brought a non-perishable item to donate to the Salvation Army. I got to help take all of the items to the Salvation Army truck and there was a lot of items. Some of the boxes were too heavy for me so I ended up just carrying the bags(which were still pretty heavy).

In literacy, we have been continuing on our websites. I finished my website so I need to start writing my essays now. I have to write an essay on 3 symbols, 3 characters, and 3 themes in The Wizard of Oz. I have started writing mine for the 3 themes. I included a photo of a page on my website. I put some pictures on it but for some reason, they wouldn't load.

In numeracy, we have been learning some simple algebra. We have had to do a problem every day for this whole week. This is the problem that we had to do on Thursday.

I used a table to work out the question.

Thanks for reading my blog post, see you next time!

Fun first week back!

Kia ora bloggers,
We are finally back at school! It's been fun so far but I miss sleeping in in the mornings. On Monday, the teachers gave us a chance to catch up with our friends and gave us a simple task. We had to fill and colour in a sheet about how our quarantine was to put into a time capsule. After that we had morning tea, then we started math.

During maths this week, we have been learning how to use python coding to help us check that our maths questions were correct. We learnt that instead of a division symbol, we had to use a forward slash and for multiplying, we had to use an asterisk and when we wanted to square something we had to use two asterisks then the number that we want to square it by. We had 10 practice questions that we had to complete over the week.

In literacy, we have started to make our own website to put our essay on. We have to write an essay on the Wizard of Oz. We have to write an essay about 3 of the characters, 3 symbols, and 3 themes. I chose the lion, Dorothy, and the wicked witch for the characters. I chose Dorothy's ruby slippers, the golden cap of the winged monkeys, and the yellow brick road. I chose friendship, disappointment, and dreams and hope for the themes. I have finished the home page of my website, and the page for the characters and the symbols. 

Was the text easy to read with the background? Or should I change it to one with less colour?

See you next time!

Fri-yay tasks

Kia ora bloggers,
Today for the Friyay tasks, we had to do one from our technology class and one from our normal class. For the technology task, I decided to design a bedroom. I used an app called roomstyler to design it and I think it turned out pretty good. I struggled to make the walls how I wanted, so I ended up finding a design that I liked and then changed the decorations.

I really like the side that has my bed in it because it had a lot of decorations. The other side is a bit plain because I couldn't think of anything else to put there but I still like it.

For our normal classes task, I chose to draw an animal but make it fat and round. I used an app called procreate because I'm not very good at drawing dogs by hand.

I used a liquify feature and made his body bigger and rounder. It took me a few time to get it right. I think I made the legs a bit too fat, especially the back one. I also think I should've made the tail a bit bigger. Other than that, I like the way it turned out.
See you next time!

Fri-yay tasks!

Kia Ora bloggers,
Today we had our technology tasks again. This time I chose to make a pizza. I made the dough and let it sit for about an hour then I rolled it out. When I went to get some tinned tomatoes to put on it, I realized there were no tinned tomatoes. Instead, I had to use some leftover sauce from dinner the night before, it tasted just as good. I only put on salami, onions, and cheese because I don't like anything else on it.

The other task that I did was to design my own birthday cake. I made it on a website but it wouldn't let me take a screenshot or download it. It had 5 layers. 2 of them were chocolate flavoured and the other 3 were vanilla. On the outside, I put cream and drew some cow print on it with icing.

See you next time!

Friyay Tasks

Kia ora bloggers,
Because it is Friday today, we got to do tasks that are a little different from usual. Instead of literacy and numeracy, we did stuff a little more creative. We did stuff from our tech classes today. I chose to do a sewing task. We had to get some old material that we had around our house and turn it into something new. I found these sweatpants in my mums room and decided to make it into a 3 piece clothing set. I don't think I'll ever wear the top but it was really fun to make. I made some sweat shorts, a top, and a scrunchie.

This is the second task that I did today was to design a food truck. I like cow print at the moment so I decided to make it cow-themed. The menu has Moookies and Cream, Chocolate Mooose, Mooogurt and Cream, and Moookey Poookey. Moookies and cream is vanilla ice cream with big cookie chunks to resemble cow print. Chocolate Mooose is chocolate ice cream. Mooogurt and Cream is vanilla ice cream with some frozen yogurt on top. Mookey and Poookey is Hokey Pokey.

See you next time:)
