Literacy This Week!

Hello Readers,

For literacy this week I have been continuing on with my website. I have now written 2 and 1/2 of my 9 T-E-X-A-S's. Here is a screenshot of my THEMES page.

That's all! I can't wait until my website is completed!

See you later!

Koru Art

 Hello Readers,

Today in the morning we made our koru art. Our art for the term is making a 'bone' koru carving necklace, except ours isn't made out of bone. Last week we had to make a pastel drawing of a koru design. And this week we designed our necklace out of PlayDoh. My actual one is the left one. It represents freedom because it's a bird made from the korus.

That's all for this blog post! Which one is your favourite?

See you next time!

First Week Back at School

Hello Readers,

It's the first week back at school and I have a blog post sharing all my work this week.

For Literacy this week we have been creating a website that analyses The Wizard of Oz. We have to have a section for themes, symbols, and characters. In each section we have to pick 3 themes/symbols/characters to analyze and explain why it is important to the story. This is replacing our essay this term so instead of doing 1 big essay we are doing 9 mini 
T-E-X-A-S's. I am making it using Googe Sites, I have not completed my website because it is due in 2 weeks, but here is a screenshot of the home page.

For Numeracy this week we have been learning to check our answers using Python. This means we just enter our equation into Kaggle and it tells us the answer, it is slightly harder than it seems because you have to make sure everything is in the right order otherwise it will be wrong. Here is a photo of a few of my equations.

That's it for this week's blog post! Do you like the idea of writing a website or do you prefer essays?

The Last Week of Online School

Hello Readers,

This blog post is going to be special because it is the last day of online school. This means I will show all my favourite tasks from the week, for each subject. I'm pretty sad that online school is ending because I loved learning from home but I am excited to see my friends.

My favourite literacy task this week was when we had to design our own flying minion; like the flying monkeys from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I made a ram looking thing with really scary horns. Here is a photo of my drawing.

My favourite numeracy task this week was from Monday. We learned about adding and subtracting fractions, which I find easy, but after we did the problems we had to do an escape room on google forms. I liked doing the calculations but the escape room was confusing and I didn't enjoy it. 

For my tech task I designed a bedroom using Minecraft. I chose to use Minecraft because it is fun and I am used to building on there. Here is a photo.

For my Friday task I drew a round animal. We had to draw it and then describe what it can and can't do anymore. Here is my drawing and description.

That's it for today! What are you going to miss about online school?

See you later.

Online School - Friday Tasks

Hello Readers,

This week's blog post is all about todays activities; a star wars themed board game for tech, and a colourpush art collage.

The first one I completed was the colourpush art. It gives you 90 seconds to swirl around colours. It seems super easy and like you cant mess up but I did many that didn't look so good. Here are my best ones. 

The next one I did was a board game for tech. I made it star wars themed just for fun. I had nothing to make game pieces out of so I used scrunched up foil. Here is a photo.

That's it for this week's blog post! Which colour art is your favourite? Mine's the bottom right.

See you next time! 

Online School - Term 2 - Friday Tasks

Hello Readers,

From now on I will be posting once a week with either that day's work or my favorite tasks from the week. Today I will be showing what I did today! Also if you saw my last blog post you would know I made an android for one of my activities, I came second in this competition which means mine will be 3D printed when we get back to school. Today we had to do one tech activity and one FRIYAY activity.

The first one I did was the tech one; there was a list of different tasks and I chose one where you had to the recycled old fabric. I made an octopus using a sock by cutting the toe part off the sock and stuffing it. Then I sewed around the opening and pulled it tight while tucking in the ends. Then I cut 6 circles from the remainder of the sock and repeated the process on them to make the tentacles. Then I hot glued on the eyes and mouth. Here it is.

The other task I did was where we had to make our own animal. I didn't really know where I was going with this so I just drew whatever I wanted. I ended up with this creature; I don't know what to call it. Here's a photo.

That's it for today's blog post, leave me name ideas in the comments!

See you next week!
