Google Game

Today I have played this coding game from the Google logo page and it is made out of scratch. It's about you controlling the bunny. This game requires you to use the arrow for the bunny so that it can move by it self to get the carrots. There are a lot of levels to complete.

Social Science

On Friday we went to Tamaki collage and we have been split up into groups of 3 and they are Social Science, PE and Robotics. I was in Social Science with Ms Apelu. For Social Science I learned how to play Pursued. Pursued is a game where you can pick a level and it will put you to a random country and you have to guess the city names  by finding clues on any buildings, Cars. After that we went into a site called google earth to find Mrs Anderson holiday location. I have been researching different location for your next holiday, I researched a lot of location from google earth and I got France (Ain), France (Musee D'orsay), Utah USA (Zion National Park). I really had fun doing this activity with Ms Apelu.

Athletics Day

last week for athletics day there is 9 activity's that all of your groups can compete. My favourite activity was when you line up into your group colour and each people will take a sponge and there is a plastic box full of water. You will have to run to the plastic box after that the sponge will soak after that you will have to run back to your colour team. I really had fun doing all of the athletics activity.

Fire Safety Message

Today I made this animation about fire safety message, I worked with Harlem and this term we were learning about how the community help us. This animation is about why you need to put the smoke alarm and why we need to turn of the stove when we are going to sleep.

Fire Station Trip

Yesterday we went to the fire station because this term we were learning about how community help us. The fire men showed us inside the fire engine and inside the fire engine was tools to save people and first aid kit. The fire man was using a jaws of life to open the car if its on fire he showed us an example of how it works. I learned that if you call the ambulance the fire engine might come first because they know how to cure/heal people with there first aid kit. 

Fire Engine

This week Miki, Jaydon, Jona and I had been learning about fire engine and this is my 25 words summary I chose 20 words then chose 6 important words after that we put all the 6 important word and put it in a sentence. The hardest thing to do is putting all 6 sentence together.   

Maths Strategy ScreenCastify

This week Joshua and I created a DLO about a problem solving. Mrs Anderson gave us a problem that we need to solve. We can use any strategy to solve a maths problem. Our problem involved times tables,adding to solve the problem. The most challenging part about this was to recorded and to pick a strategy to use. l like doing this activity with Joshua.

Taking Care Of Your Teeth

We have created this DLO for Room 4, to let them know why we had to take of our teeth and what can happen if we don't look after them. I made this animation with my partner Harlem. The hardest thing was to make our animation more friendly. Easiest thing was choosing the photo.

Film Festival

Yesterday the whole school went to Manaiakalani film festival. It is the 10th year of Manaiakalani film festival. We went to Sylvia Park to watch other schools movie that they made. There were lot's of movies to watch. Our school had a good time watching creative films from other schools. Since our class was late we couldn't watch some of the movies for the first season, so we had to go to the second season. We watched the movies of Tamaki Primary and Point England. I enjoyed watching the movies of Tamaki Primary and Point England the most because they were really funny and I like It was about a boy trying to tell a story, but each time he tried to introduce the story a different film would play. Tamaki Primary did a awesome job too it was so funny and I like the movie about sugar.

Badminton

Today for kiwi sport we had badminton with Kevin. Kevin is a professional badminton player. Firstly Kevin taught us how to use backhand/forehand next we find a friend to pass the shuttlecock and hit the shuttlecock with a racket. My partner was Fraidoon. After hitting the shuttlecock and passing it we had to pass it to each other and count how many passes did you do. Our total passes is 59.

Jackals

This weak I have been finding about how do Jackals adapt to there environment using our smart searching skills. I used Powtoon to create this work. All of our class choose an animal starting from our name. My name is Josh and I have to research some animals that starts with the letter J. I chose Jackal as my animal.

Explanation - How Children Learn At School

How Children Learn At School

 you ever wanted to know how your child is learning at school? There are so many ways children learn, like talking to others to give them more confidence.  They like to learn from each other by asking question and giving comments  

Children love trying new things and learning from them. They have the ability to think and reflect about there learning. They are capable of asking open ended question, which helps them learn even more.

Most kids have role models that they look up to. Watching their role models, it encourages them to be more like that person. Some kids like sport players and are eager to learn more about them.

Kids can communicate by giving feedback/feed forward to one another. They like to follow good examples in way which interests them. One way is that they practice their new skills to get better at it.

Children learn through numerous ways. They agree or disagree on other people opinion in a positive way. Kids learn best with and from each other.

Today I wrote an Explanation about How Children Learn at School. To write an Explanation you need to include a Title, Introduction, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 2, Paragraph 3 and a Conclusion. Your Introduction should include a hook, for example a rhetorical question to get the reader interested.

Camels have pads so they won’t sink in the sand and help walk on hot sand

Camels have nostrils that can close to protect the nostrils. Camels ears have hair inside and outside so it could be protected.
