Reflection Week 8 Term 4

End Of Year Slide Show. In our end of year slide show we have to show what we enjoyed throughout the year. I have done a slide about gym-sports, my friends, maths, so I need to that done so I'll have something good to share on my slide.

Writing, we have been told to make and write a free writing peace for the wall. I have done mine but it is not on the wall yet, I need to ask Mr Gemmel to print it out so I need to get o top of that. And when that is done I need to draw the pictures so that might take awhile.
 

Reflection Week 6 Term 4

Maths: In maths the kids the were felling good about division were put into a harder group, this group did this gigantic math problem: 12 ÷ 34602981365 = ? at the start I was like no way am i getting this question right, but now i'm like easy. because I was the only one that got the answer. (I think?) well the answer was 02133581780 remainder 5. I honestly had to get my maths book and copy down the question. man that took some time.

Writing: In writing we had to come up with a free peace of writing I did mine about water. we even had to publish it on computer. It will be printed soon, and I will put it on my publishing wall soon. (so mum if you wan't to see it you can come in the class in the morning to read it).

Reading: In reading book talk I shared the book tom gates. O we also did this BIG must do can do set up.

Week 5 Term 4

Maths: In maths we did our quick 25 warm up, we also had this 2 sheet double sided work sheet, it was about geometry and measurement. I think it was a test, I don't do very well under pressure, so thank god there wasn't a time limit.

Passion class: In passion class I kinda learnt to make a scrolling background in scratch with ScrollX. my game is about your a cat and you have to run away from a dog, I am not sure if I will finish my game or not. If I do then other people will be able to play my game.

Reflection week 4 Term

BOOK WEEK: yes! book week probably my favorite week of the year. Mrs Bryant makes it soooooooooooooo fun for everyone its a great idea, I like how on Wednesday day you can bring along your family, and you can by some books and dress up. (I wen't as harry potter) It is fantastic I couldn't even recognize some people! A shout out to Mrs Bryant if you are reading this. (if you aren't well that's awkward). Ummmmm... okay. science it was book week we didn't do that much work so that's why I just write this big power graph about book week. well we did do a free writing session that I write about waterfalls, that's all we basically did.

Reflection Week 4 Term 4

Maths: In maths we do this new warm up activity where someone holds up a card with a picture on it for 1 minute, then the person will flip the card around and ask the questions on the card. there are eight questions on the card, we have to say the answer and then someone will make a telly of how much points we get out of eight, our team has got 15 points out of 2 rounds so far so were doing okay. on our other warm up we have 181 points and were coming second.

Writing: some of us had to do free writing because we had finished everything so I did a peace about volcanic rock and volcano explosions. Its not that long so I might have to do more of my writing. I haven't finished yet but I am doing handwriting and proof reading so i'll do that after this blog.

Passion Class

Passion Class

The passion class that I chose was coding/making games. I thought about a game that would be fun to code and I came up with a game called the chase. Its a game were your a cat and you have to run away from a dog, You are running from the dog because you stole the dogs food. The dog will stay on one space on the screen and you have to doge obstacle, and if you hit the obstacle you get closer to the dog. Next secession we are learning how to use gravity so once you jump you will fall back down.

Term 4 Week 1

Maths: in maths we did this new warm up activity called "quick 25" where someone has a list of 25 multiplication and division questions based on a number. the person with the sheet (me) will say the question and then wait 3 seconds and go onto the next one. after all the questions are done we mark them. this is fun and easy I think that the person saying it should swap not stay on the same person. I also did a decimal work sheet, It was fun and easy. Mr Gemmel is testing kids for there end of term report, He has already tested me and I finished the end question witch is year eight standard.  

Passion classes: I like the idea of passion class, My passion class is coding and making video games. My game is going to be a game were your a cat and you steal the dogs meat and you have to run away from the dog, If the dog catches you have to restart and see if you can beat your record. I think that passion classes are a FANTASTIC idea and that they are really fun. I find we should do them more than just once a week.

Writing: In writing we had to do a camp moment, but I didn't go on camp so I writ a story about why I didn't go on camp.  

Term 3 week 10

Mats : in maths we have been learning how to convert a decimals into percentages and use the percentages to make fractions. I find this easy but sometimes it can be hard to. I think it is a good challenge for me.

Reading : in reading we had to do 10 sentences about words to show that we know what they mean. This didn't take to long since I knew what the words meant. sometimes this can get a bit boring. So I find this easy.

Blogger : We have been told up lode so much blogs this week, I think I have uploaded 9 (concluding this one) It took awhile to get most of them done. Others were easy to finish. Other took a looooooooong time.

Term 3

Term 3

My favorite part of term 3 was definitely production because it was SO fun. Maths was pretty fun as well. In math we did a lot of hard stuff like decimals and fractions and percentages. I found maths really fun and easy. I've learnt A LOT from all the subjects but maths is my favorite subject is ... MATHS.

Achievements : In week 8 we did our production witch I was REALLY nervous. But I thought I did great. I also came second at the Waipa gym sports. I love gymnastics so it was really fun. Me, Ella D
and Gracie were the only people to go for our school. I'm at list R which is really high up for year five.

SPEECH

My Speech

I bet you like bees, but you’re scared of them stinging you. Did you know that no bees, and when I say no bees I mean absolutely no bees, would mean the end of world? And I know, it  sounds intense but it’s true. No bees equals no us! Did you know we would only survive 3 years without bees?                              

Well to help bees we need to feed them, bees eat bee balm, snapdragons, foxglove and hosta in the summer. Bees like to hang around some certain plants, such as black eyed, lavender, marjoram, stonecrop and goldenrod only to name a few. Bees favourite flowers to hang around is lavender and marjoram.  Now you know how to make a bee friendly garden.

Last week we were running around our garden and all of a sudden a bee came out of nowhere, and everyone ran off not because my brother was chasing them but because the bee was cashing them across the lawn, While i’m just standing there watching them run across the lawn, hopelessly waiting for the bee to stop chasing them. Eventually when my sister was to tired to run anymore, she stopped and then the bee flew around her for a while but then the bee flew away. So that goes to show if you bother the bee the bee will bother you.

Well bet you didn’t think this most of our food will be gone. For example almonds. All almonds won’t exist. California produces around about 2.1 billion pounds of almonds every year. This supplies 80% of the global demand for almonds. Almonds depend entirely on bees to pollinate the almond trees, it's that simple no bees no almonds. There are other foods like chocolate, coffee and apples.

What is killing bees? I’ll tell you it’s pollution, such as harmful gasses, dust and smoke which enters into the air. This air pollution is killing bees. Bees don’t see very well, and depend a great deal on their sense of smell to lead them flowers bursting with pollen. According to research bees are finding it intensely difficult to locate flowers due to high levels of air pollution that interferes with the flowers scent.

Well now you know how to take care of bees and what will happen without them. So remember we must remember to take care of these little creatures and that they are a giant part of the ecosystem. So now will you be scared if you hear a bee buzz by?

PRODUCTION

My Role : In the production I was a school kid, our scene was on in the first 10 minuets. After that I just had to wait 35 (ish) minuets till its finished.  This is a pic of me

I found the bit that we had to move the chairs the hardest. My favorite part is where we do the who let the dogs out, and the final song. I think it was fun... Next time i'll try out for a speaking part.

My Costume was simple, I needed a school t-shirt and black shorts/pants. I think we look cool. So overall I enjoyed it.

We also did a static image excise, We had to color in a picture and use the opposite shade to evoke different emotions.

Production : for production we have to do this silly dance and then go into who let the dogs out which none of us know the who let the dogs out dance and it's nearly the show! I like doing the production but some of the kids go off task. and make it hard to learn.
