Argument Gala


Argument Gala


Oh yeah! I definitely think we should have galas because it is as cool as a speedy panther.


Firstly, Galas are also cool because you can play games and you can win all kinds of prizes. You can also buy bouncy castles or mitt be able to win one. At a gala you can make new friends.


Secondly, You can also buy bouncy castles or mitt be able to win one. At a gala you can make new friends you don’t know.


Thirdly, When you are at a gala you are learning how to play other games you haven't played before. Some of the games you might like or might not like.

Conclusion, Yippee we earned a lot of money now we can go on a trip to Coopers Beach. At Coopers each we can have a party.

How to Make a Snowflake

Snowflake


Equipment:
  1. One piece of A4 paper
  2. Scicers


Steps:
  1. Fold the A4 paper in half
  2. Fold the right corner down diagonally towards the bottom left corner
  3. Fold the top left corner towards the bottom right to make a triangle
  4. Cut off the bottom edge in the shape of an ark
  5. Fold the half from left to right
  6. Cut out shape from all sides
  7. Unfold
  8. Then have fun with it


Conclusion:
The easy bit was when you have to cut out the shapes. The other easy part was when you had to fold it in half. The hard part was when you have to fold the left corner down to the right corner and the right corner down over the left corner.

Fractions Wall

W.A.L.T. to make a fractions wall. First we had to cut twelve pieces of paper the same length.  First we glued one whole strip, then we folded another strip in 1/2 before cutting it in half and gluing it on our wall. We repeated this process in 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12ths. We saw patterns when we cut 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/12. We saw another pattern when we cut 1/3, 1/6 and  1/9.  We saw another pattern with 1/5 and 1/10.

Amazing Alliteration with Voice

Today we had the opportunity to add our voices to our slide show using screen castify. It will be a handy skill to be able to use in the future. We will be able to create a wide variety of amazing creations to share especially with younger students who cannot read yet.

Cross Country - Green Screen

I.A.L.T Start slow at the  start, run  fast at the end. Train every day at school and home until I become fit. If I can run for longer in the race I can win.  

Firstly last year I came under 10th this time i'm going to come 3rd 2 or 1st 

secondly Mrs N told us to go out side to line then we went on to the field. Mrs G told us how to make a green screen.

Blogging Criteria

PostW

Components
Beginner
Getting Going
Smart Learner

Learning

What have I been learning?

  • I’ve written what I have been learning about e.g. shared my WALT
  • I have put in an image, drawing or a screenshot of my learning
How do I know I have learnt?

  • My post includes information and ideas that show what I learned.
  • I created a DLO that shares my ideas about the learning: eg, a video, diagram, infographic etc

Reflected on my learning:

  • My post has my new ideas and what I enjoyed or found really difficult
  • I’ve shared what I think my next steps are, what I’d like to know more about, and what I might do differently next time

Impact

  • I have explained the learning I did
  • Most of my ideas can be seen
  • I included a photo, image or screenshot
  • My title is unique or catchy
  • My DLO is my own creation, makes sense and adds more information
  • My post may include embedded html content e.g. collage, video, Google Slide, animation etc

  • My post shows WHO I AM as a learner and is unique to me.
  • My information and ideas help my audience to understand the learning, [and there’s a link to this activity to my class learning site]
  • For my DLO, I (or my group) made all of the learning being shown from scratch

Punctuation

  • Some of my spelling and punctuation is not right
  • My post might be hard for the reader to understand
  • I have checked my punctuation and spelling
  • I have asked a buddy to read my post, made corrections and I cannot see any mistakes

  • I’m confident all my spelling and punctuation is correct and it makes sense for my readers, they will be able to read it easily

Layout

  • My font sizes and colour may be different and need making the same
  • My images or embedded content might not fit properly
  • I may not have used labels or a title on my learning blog post.
  • I previewed layout to see how my post would look and changed it where I needed to
  • Font size and colour match
  • I’ve used a title & labels  
  • If I’ve used other people’s work or thinking I have shown the source or attributed it to them

  • Media/html content is checked e.g. size, position, and appears when post loads
  • My labels and title are specific to the learning & help people searching my blog
  • I am beginning to use scheduling for publishing so my posts don’t all come at once


  All the Students in Te Moana have recently begun their own blogs. They are all at the beginner blog stage now but we are all setting our goals to become Smart Bloggers by the end of the year. Please check our blogs all the time to check how we are learning to improve.
