Story scavenger hunt

This is one of my reading can do's I worked on last week. This one is called the "Story scavenger hunt". I had to search up the facts in the book "Fantastic Mr. Fox" by Roald Dahl", like words that start with the letter M and stuff like that.

Grand palace Bangkok

My partner Fifita and I have been searching up the Grand palace of Bangkok. We both learned a lot about this landmark. What I found surprising was that they first built the palace entirely out of wood, then later got bit and parts from a destroyed city. This place is really interesting to learn about. I hope you enjoy reading this.

Respect

This is one of my care awards I did this term. This care award is a DLO on respect and what it looks like.

Choosing the NZ flag

        



LI: To make an informal choice
Today we were making decisions about these two flags, if we wanted to change it or leave it. It was a really tough choice for me because I know that in WW1 all the soldiers wore the flag on their uniform and it would be disrespectful if we changed it. But, others wanted to change it because it looks too similar to the Australian one, and we have already paid for it, no why waste the money. One of my reasons why we should change the flag because it is a new generation, also, really cool. That is just my opinion. But I would like it to stay the same.

Maths games #4

This week I have done one of my maths games off the task board. This game was called " Place Value quiz". Like all the other place value games I have played, this one is different because it asks you about units (units is the same thing as ones) This will help you if your really good with place value and want a challenge. My score above was when I did quiz B and A. The one I found hard was quiz C, I got one question wrong. Give this a try and click here.

Great Mosque of Herat

This week we have searched about the Great Mosque of Herat. My partner was Sa Kae. We both learned a lot about this place, and I think you might too. Have a look and see if you learn something new.

Little red riding hood TOPES

Title	Little red riding hood
Orientation: Orientation means introduction that includes the 5 W's.	Little red riding hood gets asked from her mother to drop some food off to her grandmas house, she also receives a warning from her mother not to take the short cut.
Problem: An issue cause by something.	Little red riding hood does not listen to her mother and takes the shortcut and comes across the big bad wolf. The wolf sees the basket full of food and asks questions on where she is going.
Explain: Explaining the details.	The wolf then runs to grandmas house and looks granny in the closet. Grandma and dresses up as her so that little red riding hood will be tricked
Solution: The issue is being solved.	Little red riding hood screamed and the woodcutter came as fast as he could to take granny out of the closet.

Today our main focus was our TOPES ( Tittle, Orientation, Problem,Explain and Solution)   My group I worked with was Zeba,Nazella,Mia and Zahra we all worked on a story which was "Little Red Riding Hood". I learnt how to use TOPES in a narrative. 

Maths games #3

This is another one of my maths games called Maths Magician. It helps with your times tables from 1 to 10.  You are timed 1 minute to get as many answers to done as you can, but if you get some wrong, it will show at the end when you finish, how well you did with your multiplication. As you see I got 100% for my x6.

Word Study Challenge

This is one of my reading "can do's". This one I did is called the word study challenge. You pick 5 interesting words to research about.Then we find its meaning. Next we put a picture about the word next to the meaning. Later, we use the word in a sentence. Lastly we found synonyms for the word, and that's it. This helped me with my researching skills. Even for later on in life when your seeking a job.

Science - Oobleck #2

This was our second science project. Above as you can see we have made a substance that is solid when you touch, but liquid when picked up. The teacher asked if it was a liquid, solid, or gas, and guess what...... none. It is actually called a compound.That is when 2 or more things combine. Have a look.

Science #1

This is another google drawing about my baking soda and vinegar. This ones just like the other one I did last time, but this one has the equipment you need to use, and you've got the steps to follow.

Maths games: place value #2

This is another maths game I played today. This helps teach you your place value up to 10,000. There are two different modes. One is relaxed if your still learning, and timed mode if you want a challenge. Really good if your learning place value.

How to survive a cow attack

This is a Google drawing I did with tips to how to survive a cow attack. It was one of our reading activities. We were leaning about the skills for evaluation, like looking for keywords and the authors purpose. Hopefully this will help people if they get in a cow attack.

Leaning tower of Pisa

For this week, we have researched the leaning tower of Pisa. My partner was my friend Silivia. As usually, we have searched when it was built, why it was built,where it is located, and much more. If you would like to learn more, click on our slide and learn something amazing.

iFaketext

This is an ifaketext that i have created with one of my classmates. We were leaning how to use proper dialogue. This helps us practise writing dialogue in a story. 

Maths games: Place value

This is the game I played for my maths. Its called "beat the game". The first part of the game when you begin is when you have to try make a number greater than the computer's number. There are four rounds, and at the bottom of the screen there will be this orange bar with the numbers you made, if you list them from least to greatest, you get bonus points. Lastly, there's a part where you list the numbers in order. Finally you get your results as the final score.

Leading your team

Our teacher gave all the year 8's a task. First we had to choose a buddy. The teacher gave us different places to travel with our buddy. The only tricky thing was one of us had to close our eyes while the other had to guide them. I had to guide Afu down the slide. We both had turns swapping around. This was suppose to help us to be a leader while also to trust your team and your team to trust you.

MONA LISA

This week Jorja and I have done a DLO on Mona Lisa for our homework. We learnt and researched when she was painted why her painted existed, and lots more information. If you like you can click on this slide and learn lots more facts about Mona Lisa.

VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA

On Wednesday 2nd march 2016 we did a science experiment. We put a small cup in the bowl and filled it with a tablespoon of baking soda. Next we poured some malt vinegar in the cup, inside the bowl, and it bubbled and overflowed. But my hypothesis ( that means prediction ) was that it would explode and spill all over everybody, but I was wrong. We also did one with white vinegar, and that was WAY more fizzier and more bubbles. It even looked like sprite.

My TINKERCAD

This is my Tinkercad........thing. We were learning how to use this site and make cool different shapes and models, like moving, sizing, grouping, measuring, and lots of other stuff. The website we used is called Tinkercad.com where you can also make shapes and things too. This is a picture of what I made. It is a strange looking creature about to get hit by a big rock.

Rosa Parks THE LEADER

This slide shows information about this great leader called Rosa Parks. It was for our research we did in our class. Our learning intention was how to be an agent of change. This slide will tell you all about her.
