Culture Club

Culture Club

Culture club is something we do where we choose a country, answer questions about it and share it to the class. This was the first time doing it for me and I thought it turned out ok. I hope you like my video I did it with my friend Hana I hope you enjoy it.  Oh and we chose Argentina because we did not know much about it and we wanted to learn something new.

Thanks for watching. By Carys

Times Tables:Maths

So in math we use this website called timestables.com, it uses a very reliable technique which maximizes  the chance of remembering. It is      also very easy to use. It is separated into multiple parts so that it is easy to use. First it gets you to read the times table that you selected, then it  will ask you some questions in order of 1,2,3,4,5 etc if you answer all of them correctly you get a digital meddle if you get it wrong you get the chance to redo or to continue.

Next it gets you to drag the answer into the question which matches. Next is the same as the second part but it is shuffled this time. Next it creates  randomly generated questions for you to answer. Oh and with each part you get a medal  if you get all the questions right.                                            

When you get a medal  it  

encourages you to try and get all the questions right so you
have lots of medals. The next part is the diploma. The diploma is a part where you get 24 randomised questions that you have to answer, at the end if you got all the questions right you get a diploma. At the end of learning the times table you can look in you trophy cabinet.

I think that it is an amazing website it is free i would recommend.
It helped me learn lots of my times tables and it has therefore helped me expand my math ability. Thanks for reading I hope you liked it.

Explaing B.E.D.M.A.S

Here is a slide showing you what bedmas is. But befor you look at it, here is how it helps me.
I just wanted to tell you a bit about BEDMAS.
BEDMAS helps me solve some questions because if I solved it normally I would get the wrong answer. If I look back on it BEDMAS did not just help me solve some questions I also found that it was easier to do the answer.

Riddles

Quick Write: Trapped

Hi today I will be writing a short story for you also known as a quick write.

We are given the sentence starter and we have to carry it on.  

Particles of dust drifted... 
through the air. I thought that this moment was priceless but it was not. The light filtered through the cold iron bars. The air was crisp and cold. On the concrete wall there was graffiti. It told me to turn around so I put my hand in my pocket ad slowly turned around and there he was. As if he turned up out of thin air. He was standing right there my dad but he was not quite alive he was pale and lifeless all he said was "run", but I could not run. My feet were stuck. I was petrified but I needed to ask my dad so many questions like where he had been and who killed him and why he left that night but then he burst into the room the person who killed him. thinking quickly I puled out my pocket knife and held it to his throat. The next thing I know wake up it is time for school it was all a dream but it just felt to real.

I hope you liked my quick write please comment on my blog post if you have any feedback or feedforward. 

Thanks for reading!

Matariki Slides

In my reading group we needed to make some matariki slides. it was a challenge to  make. It was quite hard but I pulled through in the end. I think the reason that I thought it was hard because I did not leave myself enough time.  The main thing I learnt about Matariki was that there was a whole story behind it and a tradition. I really hope you like it please comment on it if you have any feedback or feedforward. Thanks for reading.

Science Fair

This term our school had the Science Fair. We all entered out project in and at the moment we are waiting for the results for who won. Me and my friend Sophe did one on fingerprints but we did not make it to the finals. Here is our slides. 

Positive and Negative Space

Moana 3 does art on Fridays. Last Friday we did a art piece with positive and negative Space. For this art piece we had a square of black paper and we would cut a shape out of the paper and stick it on the opposite side to where we cut it out of. When it is finished it almost looks like a optical illusion.

Mothers Day

Hello, today I will be sharing my experience on making Mothers Day cards.


Our class made Mothers Day cards. We used  some tissues and dye to make the cards. So we dipped the tissue in the dye than patted it on the paper giving it a watercolor effect.  Then we took some pictures of ourselves as if we were blowing hearts and then cut out selves out. Once we had done that we wrote a poem to our mums. We then cut tiny hearts and then stuck them onto our cards as if we were blowing hearts to them mum. 

My Mum loved my card and it really made here day special.

Quick Write story

Hi today I will be writing a short story for you also known as a quick write.

We are given the sentence starter and we have to carry it on.  

The waves crashed on the... 

sand sending bits of sand flying. The sand was hot and the sun beamed down on me as I swam deeper and deeper into the ocean. I was neck deep when the earth began to shake. I heard screaming but I couldn't swim in, the current was too strong. I got sucked out so far I couldn't see the people on the beach.  After a minute, the earth stop shaking. I tried to swim in again but the current was too strong. I kept getting sucked out deeper and deeper. I was exhausted.  I looked down into the water.  All the feeling of tiredness and pain disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with fear. There they were circling below me. SHARKS!!!

I hope you liked my quick write please feel free to leave me comments and feedback on how I could improve on my writing. 

How I Plan My Week

Hello, I am going to be telling you how I plan my week. 
First our teacher emails us a Google form. The form contains different choices of workshops we can chose to attend. The workshops can be reading related, math related or writing related. Each week we need to attend a strategy workshop and a knowledge workshop for maths. We know what workshops to attend because you know your goals and what you need to learn or where we are up to in our learning. If we do not know where we are up to we attend the workshop that we think we might be up to and we see if it is right for us if the workshop is to hard the next week you attend one that is a bit easier. But if we still don't know what workshop to attend we ask our teacher where we are up to but most people know where they are up to in their learning.
                                                                                                                                                 
Once we have selected the workshops we want to attend we then fill in our time table. Our time table is a Google sheet which our puts on our learning hub. The time table marks out Lunch, Morning tea , Brain break, Typingclub and Assembly. Once we have put in where our workshops go, we then go onto a Moana learning hub and put in the other learning activities that we have to do in. We have to fill in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We do not fill in Friday because Friday is home room Friday that means that we stay in our home room for the day. on home room Friday we do art and go to our music lessons.

I love using my timetable because when I do not know what i am doing I can check my timetable and then it tells me what I am meant to be doing. It also helps our teacher because if we all fill our timetable our teacher can look at what we are meant to be doing than check in on us to see if we are doing what we put our timetable.
