Times Tables

 For our math warm up we used this site to improve on our basic facts recall. I got 58, the same as yesterday:

Times Tables Trouble!

In class, we use this site to warm up our mathematical skills before each lesson.

It is a times tables practice task. You get 100 seconds to answer as many questions correctly as you can.

I got 58!

This game is fun because it is an engaging way to warm up your brain for the coming lessons!

Fashion Frenzy!

In class, we have been learning about the different types of art. One of which is fashion and design.

We had to create a collage with our favourite fashion brands or products.

This task was fun because I enjoyed using my favourite brands to create a collage!

This task was hard because we had to convert each image into PNG and it took a long time!

Week 4 Reflection!

This week has been very fun.

I enjoyed using my new knowledge of sewing to make some progress on my quilt project.

I succeeded in my quiz by getting 40/40 correct.

I found my sewing project challenging yet fun because my hands aren't gentle enough to get the thread through the needle :(

I learnt that Edmond Hillary climbed MT Everest on the 29/5/1953.

Next week I am looking forward to finishing my quilt project.

I have shown the value of Aroha by always choosing positive words and being as kind as possible.

Super Saints!

In class, we have been learning about a saint of our choice.

I chose St Francis because I didn't know much about him and I was interested in his life. We had to complete a slideshow about our chosen saint.

Here it is:

This task was fun because I got to learn HEAPS about St Francis and his life!

The most challenging part was finding 10 facts about him because there isn't much info about him online.

Week 2 Reflection!

This week has been very cool because we had a new teacher running our learning sessions. It was fun and engaging to learn with such an interesting new teacher.

I enjoyed all of our learning sessions with our new teacher.

This week, I have succeeded in my math work because I learnt about a new kind of graph called a "Bar And Whisker Graph" and now I can help others.

I found my Mahi Tahi challenge confusing because we had to make a self-standing balloon tower with only 1 roll of tape and a pack of balloons. It was hard because our tower kept falling over and it was a mess.

I learnt all about a bar and whisker graph.

Next week, I am looking forward to finishing our class book, "Rangatira" because we are so close to the ending.

This week, I have shown the value of Aroha (Love) by being kind and helping others whenever they need it.

The Amazing Arts!

In class, we have been studying and researching about some of the different categories of art. When you hear the word "art" you probably think of a painting. Well, this week I have learnt that art is much more than a simple picture. There are many forms of art and this slideshow explains them...

This task was fun because I enjoyed learning about the different types of "art".
