YearBook 2020

Hi Bloggers!

This week we made yearbooks about how the year has gone and what fun we have had in this very bad year. This is from the start to the end of the year. We had to rhyme the things we did and it was quite difficult to do and get everything rhyming. This was quite boring to do but it had to be done. 

Here it is:

My yearbook is not the best I tried to rhyme it but its quite hard. This was good for us to do especesspecialy for the year 8's to reflect on what the have done in the year before heading off to High School.  Hope you Enjoyed!

Haka, Maori Tattoos, and Korowai

 Hi Bloggers! 

This week we have been looking at the history of Haka, Korowai and Ta Moko. We had to write how things changed from past to future. The haka used to be performed for wars or celebrating not dying. Ta Moko has not really changed it has kept the same because of culture and the Maori designs have not really changed. Korowai is made from materials that when put together look like feathers. But in the old way it was made was with cloth made from the bark of aute (paper mulberry).

Here is a slide:

In this slide, you will find our Haka, Korowai and Ta Moko slide that tells you about how they are used to be and how it is now. Hope you enjoy and learn some stuff about the haka.

Making of the Super Story

Hey Bloggers! 

This week we have been getting more in-depth into making our stories. We have been writing about how the introduction of the story and the action that will happen during the story. We are also writing about how the story will end and change. Here is my Plot: 

As you can see we had to fill in every box here about how our story is going to work. Mine is about Superheros Vs Villains and The Great Dinosaur Museum. It is about villains trying to steal very real dinosaur bones from the museum and the superheroes have to try and stop them.  

Hope you enjoy!

My Super Story

Hey Bloggers!!

This week is the first for the new term. This week we have been making a picture book for the little kids to read. My story is about superheroes and villains battling over the ancient dinosaur museum full of totally real dinosaur bones. We also had to characterise our characters. Here is my Characterisation: 

                                    

This is how my characters are going to talk, think and look. This will be fun to make and I hope I can do it. I'm also not good at drawing so it's going to be a bit tricky for me to do.

Hope you enjoy!

NZSL Week - My Name

Hey Bloggers!

This week is National Sign Language Week so to celebrate we are saying our names in sign language. My name is Jack so it was pretty easy for me to do my name in sign language because it's so short. We also had to record ourselves doing it so I recorded mine and I messed up on the K because I keep forgetting how it goes. Here is my video:

This was fun to do. We also got to play a sign language game called Sign Ninja where you have to get through rooms by solving puzzles in sign language. this was the best part because it was learning in cooperated with games.

Instant Ice - Science Experiment

Hi Bloggers!

The last few weeks we have been working on our own experiment. My experiment was about ice and how water freezes on contact. This experiment is called instant ice, it's an experiment that shows how water freezes on contact. My friend and I made this experiment in Minecraft showing it. we also added signs that talks about it and how it works. 

Here are a few pictures of my experiment:

This experiment is awesome but sadly ours did not work I even tried with some salt in the water but that did not seem to change how it froze. For us, this experiment was a failure and didn't work even with added salt. 

Hope you enjoy this experiment.

Minecraft ISS Module

Hello Bloggers!

This week we have been learning about the ISS or (International Space Station). We made a module for the ISS in Minecraft. My Module is a science one where you can combine different chemicals and space chemicals to see the results. My module also has a decontamination room and also a docking port for space shuttles. the contamination is for people entering and exiting through the space shuttle port. It is so you don't leave with any bugs or chemicals or enter with any.
Here are some Pictures:

The pictures are me in the different rooms of my module including the Science Mixing Lab, The Decontamination area and the Space Shuttle Dock. This was fun to make and use Minecraft. Leave a comment if you liked this idea. 

What would you add to the ISS?
