SLJ 2019 Week 3 Driving Digital Innovation

Activity 2 Influences

YouTube is a video sharing website, where people can watch, create, share and comment on videos.

YouTube was designed in 2005 by three men- Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim.

For this activity imagine that you had the chance to create your own YouTube channel. What would it be about? What kinds of videos would you create and post?

I would post gaming videos and tutorials to help everyone complete different games.

I would also post game reviews and shout outs to anyone to subscribed.

SLJ 2019 Week 1 Day 5 Against The Odds

Activity 3 Own Choice

We had to choose a person that changed the world.

I chose Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr, was a civil rights speaker. In 1963 Martin made a speech called " I Have A Dream" He was speaking about "Black peoples rights". Up until 1963 "Black people" were used as slaves and they could not do the same stuff "White people" could do. They had separate schools, and they could not be together for anything.

He impacted the lives of everybody now "Black people" can do anything that "White people" can do.
Unfortunately Martin Luther King Jr got assassinated on the 4 April 1963.

This is the Google drawing that I made of Martin Luther King Jr.

SLJ 2019 Week 1 Day 3 Team Players

Activity 2 Defiying The Odds.

LeBron James is one of the most famous basketball players in the world. He currently plays in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Stevan Adams also plays in the NBA, but unlike LeBron, Steven was born in Rotarua, NZ

For this activity we had to write 5 questions about an interview with LeBron James, Steven Adams or another basketball player.

I chose to interview Steven Adams and these are my 5 questions.

1:What is it like having a very famous Olympian as your half sister?

2:What culture do you mostly identify with?

3:How tall are you?

4:Do you have any other brothers and sisters?

5:How many 3 pointers have you got this season 

SLJ 2019 Week 1 Day 2 Up In The Air

Activity 1 Flying Solo

Jean Batten was a famous aviator who was born in Rotarua New Zealand in 1909

Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who lived at the same time as Jean Batten.

For this activity we had to make a Venn Diagram about these two pilots. We had to do at least 3 differences and similarities I couldn't find many facts about either of them but I managed to finish it

This is the Venn Diagram that I made.

SLJ 2019 Week 1 Day 1 Explores

Activity 3 Scaling New Heights

 In 1953 Edmund Hillary and his guide Tenzing Norgay, were the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

We had to choose a charity to write about I chose Ronald Mcdonald House/RMHC.

Ronald Mcdonald House/ RMHC support parents with kids in hospital. And they pay for the accomadation that you need. In 2018 RMCH supported 4,300 families. That is a lot of people.

This is the logo of RMHC that I made :)

How to detect Phishing

Today for Cyber Smart we learnt about Phishing. Phishing is trying to take other peoples personal information and passwords. There are many different ways to stay safe from Phishing. Like on secure websites the URL will have https and a green lock symbol. And if its not safe it will have a triangle with a ! inside it. In some emails instead of saying your name eg. Hi Dylan! Richard here. But sometimes it can be fake by saying Dear Friend. And Wikapedia can be fake too because anybody can write on Wikapedia. We looked at a fake  website about a Tree Octopus. and there were blurry pictures and for some reason a Blue Ringed Octopus was climbing a tree so I instantly knew it was fake. Here is the  Tree Octopus Link. See if you can tell if its fake

Time Estamation

Today for Strand Maths we did a time estimation sheet. We had to estimate how long it would take us to writ 1-100, Read a picture book and 30 star jumps. It took me a while to write 1-100 and it was a bit hard. I thought it would take me 3 minutes to write 1-100 but it took me 2.42. I thought it would take me 1.00 to read a picture book but it took me 41 seconds. I thought it would take me 50 seconds to do 30 star jumps but it took me 20 seconds.  Most of my estimates were under 20 seconds away. I could improve my writing from 1-100 by practicing. my closest estimate was 18 seconds away. Here is my estimates.

Division

For math today we did division. We learnt a new strategy that you slip the whole number into two parts and then you divide the two parts into the number that you are dividing. eg. 78 ÷6=? divide the number into two parts so 60 and the leftovers are 18 then you divide those numbers by the 6 so 60 ÷6=10 and 18÷6=3. So 10+3=13 so 78÷6=13. We also had word problems and with the strategy they were pretty simple. These are some of the problems we had to work out. 

Keeping Ourselves Safe

Today for Keeping Ourselves Safe we had to do some decision making. The situation was the babysitter touched you in an inappropriate way. We had to do some options to get out of it and on the options we had to put a positive or negative. This is my options

School Trip

On Friday we went to Sumner beach to Surf.  We left at 9.00 on Friday morning and hopped on the School bus. The trip was about 45 minutes and it was boring I almost fell asleep. When we got to Sumner beach there were a group of young adults waiting for us. They taught us how to stay safe and how to surf. We got into our wet suits and they stung my thighs because there was sand in them. Mrs Mcg's class went first and they did boogie boarding while we were waiting we made sandcastles. When it was our turn to surf we lied down on the surf boards and minnie taught us how to stand up. We had to do Chicken,(put your hands next to your ribs) Seal,(push up on our arms)  Cat,(where we put our knees up to our hands) Foot(where we put our foot between our hands) and Twist. (where we twisted our feet and stood up). We went into the water and the waves were huge and I stood up at least 6 or 7 times. After surfing we did boogie boarding (there was no rules just to have fun) and it was awesome I got nailed by waves and went underwater a few times and almost drowned but it was fun. I would go back to surf not boogie board. Here are some pictures of me.

In this one i'm the one in the sand

about to stand up

Understanding Different Perspectives. Zones of Regulation

This week for Health and P.E we did Zones of Regulation. We had to fill out a form about different zones of regulation. We had to do all of them, there is yellow zone which is silly or scared. Red zone which is out of control and terrified, Green zone which is calm and happy and Blue zone which is sad or sick. Here is some of the ones that I did.

Calendar Art

Today for homeroom time we finished off our calendar art. Our theme is plant so I made a branch with leaves and flowers. It was hard because i'm a bot at drawing. Here is the finished product!.

Feelings

Today for zones of regulation we watched a video about what feeling the person was in.
Then Miss Williamson gave us a piece of paper with a stick man on it. On the stick man we had to write a feeling and label what happens to you're body when you are in that feeling. I was in a group with Jed and Keah. Our emotion was Embarrassed. This is a photo.

What do I value?

Today for homeroom time we made a circles activity about what we value. In the middle circle we had to write what is important to me. In the second circle we had to write what the things that are important to us include.In the outside circle we had to write what we value. The values that I chose are Health, Sleep, Family, Friends, Sport/Exercise, Animals/Pets, Playing With Friends and Hugs.

Being Safe Online

Today for Cyber smart we watched a video about Cyber safety. It taught us the Cyber safety rules. After we watched it we had to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about the rules. I chose to make a Canva. The hard part was choosing the images because most of it you have to pay for premium. Next time I might be able to add more and change the colour of the text to make it more readable. I enjoyed finding the pictures because there is lots of different ones. If you talk to people online make sure to stay safe. This is my Canva.   

Line Graph

Today for statistics we did a line graph about the weather next week in Christchurch.
It's been pretty cold and wet recently so the tempature isn't very high, most of it is below 10. This is mine.

Sumo Paint

Sumo Paint Is an art website where you can create art. There is a symmetry tool so you can make  flowers and they look really cool. I like sumo paint because I like to draw and doodle and sumo paint is a good place for it. This is my inside of demorgorgons mouth.

Peoples Favorite Colour in P.O.T 2

Today in Math strand we did a graph about anything we wanted I chose favorite colour the least colour was yellow only two people liked yellow and the highest colour blue 9 people chose it this is mine.

Bean Experiment

Today we planted a Bean. The spheres being used in this experiment are the biosphere (The plant is a living thing), The Geosphere (The minerals in the soil), The Hydrosphere (The water for the plant) and the Atmosphere (Gasses that help the plant grow).

My Canva

This week for Te Ao Maori we made a bookmark about weather with Maori Names. It was kinda fun but I got kinda bored. This is what mine looks like.

P.O.T 2 Eye Colour

Today for statistics we we did a bar graph. We tallied our classes eye colours and put them on a graph.

This is mine 

Mission To Mars

We were challenged to research and plan a mission to Mars. We watched NASA videos. We read lots of articles about space travel and Mars. We learnt what humans would need to survive on Mars.

Oxygen, Houses, Food, Water, Protection from Radiation, Heat/Warmth and entertainment.

This is my groups plan of how we would survive on Mars. I did how to get oxygen.

Phonics Flip Book

For Phonics we made a flip book about parts of speech I had to say what a Noun, Verb, Adjective, Pronoun and an Adverb was. I learnt that a Noun is a name of person, place or thing. a Verb is a doing word. an Adjective is a describing word. a Pronoun is words like He, She, His, Hers, It, Them, This, That. And an Adverb gives more information about a Verb. eg- I ran VERY fast.

Statistics

 

For homeroom time we have been doing Statistics. We had to do a graph about who had a brother or sister. First we did a tally chart to see how many people had brothers then we did sisters and then we did only children. There were 18 people who had brothers and 17 people who had sisters only 3 people were an only child. This is my graph. How many brothers or sisters do you have?

Find a fraction of a number

Today for Math we have been learning about Fractions. We had to find the fraction of a number. eg. 2/4 of 20. It was very tricky but me and my friend Reuben helped each other and we managed to complete it. Here are some of the questions we had to figure out!

How P.O.T 2 Get To School

Today for strand maths we have been learning about statistics. We asked the question "How do people in P.O.T 2 get to school? we did a tally chart then a bar graph. This is what we got.

Matariki

For Matariki we made a slide to retell the story of matariki. It was very hard and it took ages. But it was very fun.

Minecraft Map

This term for inquiry we have been doing direction. We have been writing instructions for a Mine Craft map. It was pretty hard drawing because im not  very good at drawing. But it was really fun. this is mine!

Term 2 reflection

Matariki Stars

For Matariki we made stars out of cardboard and string we made 12 cuts like a clock and threaded the string from 1 to 2 to 3 and so on. When the stars were finished they looked really cool. Here is some of our stars!

Words Instead of Said

This week for phonics we have been learning words instead. We had to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) to teach people different words instead of Said. Because Said is boring and you want to make your writing way more interesting.

Matariki Polygons

For Math's today we had to look at a photo if the 7 stars of Matariki. We talked about polygons, polygons are shapes. We had to use the postition of the stars to create different shapes. Then we drew the seven stars of Matariki on our white boards. We had to figure out the most complex polygon and the most simple polygon. My most complex was a Left Angle Triangle. A Left Angle Triangle is just like a Triangle but the lowest point goes more to the left, Hence the name, Left Angle Triangle. My Most simple polygon is a square.

Identity

This week for Literacy we have been learning about Identity we had to read 2 books about identity.
We also had to do a drawing about identity, this is mine!

The Portal

This week for writing we have been writing in buddy's. My buddy was Aliyah. Our story is about a portal. It was hard because we couldn't talk we had to use comments.

Intro

One bright and sunny day Aliyah and Dylan were playing in the forest, But then a mysterious portal appeared out of nowhere. With a look of caution on their faces they slowly walked up to it to examine it. It was like a galaxy, so beautiful but it felt unnatural but in a spur of a moment it started sucking things in, taking Aliyah and Dylan with it. . .

Middle

They appeared in a forest that looked really old and the trees were rotten, They walked along the path that was covered in leaves and then Aliyah said “ wow this is creepy “.Then Aliyah pointed at a bridge, it had a creature that look like a frog mixed with a (cat frog) out the front looking very angry. He pulled a pointy stick out of his bag and pointed it at  Dylan, “WHAT DO YOU WANT” the creature shouted, Dylan said “We appeared in this world and we have to get out” he nodded and said “You have to complete this riddle to get past the bridge” he gave Dylan a piece of paper and it said “It comes once in a minute twice in a moment but never in one thousand years”. Dylan and Aliyah looked at each other with a puzzled look and Aliyah said “I’ve Got it!” and she walked up to the creature and whispered “the letter M”  and the creature nodded and said “well done you may pass”. He opened the gate and said “Bye Bye” Dylan and Aliyah waved and walked through.

Suddenly they felt a shiver down their spines and their eyes lit up rainbow and they hovered in the air  then they landed back on the ground but something felt different... They looked at eachother and screamed “AHHH”.They looked so different Dylan was was wearing a blue superhero outfit and could shoot Ice out his hands Aliyah was wearing a purple dress and could shoot lightning they both were wearing masks one blue one purple.

End

They kept walking until they found an old railroad with a dragon guarding it. Behind the Dragon they saw a crystal shard it was glowing rainbow, it was the unicorn shard. They tried to attack the dragon but it didn’t work they couldn’t figure out why . Until they realised they had to work together Aliyah said” i’ll shoot a lightning bolt” and Dylan said “I’ll shoot ice”. Aliyah shot lightning and Dylan shot ice It hit the dragon and “BANG” the dragon fell dead Aliyah said  “with the power of teamwork we can do anything“ then Dylan said “ your so cheesy” and so they jumped on top of the dragon and did the floss to celebrate. After they finished flossing they ran over to th e unicorn shard, grabbed it, held it up and they yelled “TAKE US BACK” and they teleported back to their world .“That was fun!” said Aliyah they ran inside to their parents and told them all about it but they didn’t believe them, Aliyah and Dylan never played in that forest again…

The end

Two digit targets

For maths today my group the yellows have been doing some independent games. The game I did was Two digit targets. When you play the game you get numbers from 0 to 9 you can only use each number once. You have to do things like what is the largest odd number you can make and stuff like that this is what I did I don't know if its right so please tell me in the comments.

Phonics

This week for phonics we have been learning Greek words.

We did chronic which means time and astro which means space.

and we did bio which means life. My favorite one was astro because I like learning about space and the stars. 

The Ladder To The Sun

This week we in literacy we have been writing a prediction. We got given a picture with a man who had a brief case and was looking at a very tall ladder. I found the hardest part was putting my words in the right sentences. Writing the text was easy. This is mine!

Biteable All About Me

All About Me
This week we have been making a Biteable "All about me"
We have to go on this website where you can make videos for free and they can be about anything.
First we had to learn to make a video and then we created one for ourselves.
I found it really fun to make because you can put music and change the theme.
The most challenging part was knowing where to put everything and how to change the theme.
The easiest part was adding the text and it was fun too! This is mine!
All About Me on Biteable.

Hell-etric guitar

Hell-etric guitar Brian McGinn
We are learning to look more deeply at characters and inference
I think this book is very good for readers who like mysteries and Sci-fi
The main character is Frank
We did some sheets that help us to look more deeply at characters and inference
My favorite part of the book is when he destroys the guitar
Definitely read this book.
I rate it a 4 and a 1/2

Kindness

Today we started learning about "Kindness" we first got into a group of three and did a brainstorm about what kindness means to us, Then we got to the mat and shared our groups ideas. Then we  writ a poem about "Kindness" we could copy from the board or make up our own I made up my own.

The hardest part was trying to put my words into sentences for the poem.  I found the easiest part was coming up with ideas for our brainstorm. This is my Poem!

Hockey On the courts

Today we had Peter from Canterbury Hockey visit us. In hokey we were learning about stopping the ball, dribbling, dodging, and some other stuff.

First we did dribbling, we had to imagine that the ball was stuck to the end of the stick with super glue.
After that we learnt to stop and dodge other players we had to control the ball at all times.

Lastly we played a game like "Rob The Nest". But with hockey sticks. We got numbered into 4 teams and their was a hoop in the middle that had lots of hockey ball in it. We got given a number and if your number got called you would run to the middle hoop and get 1 ball with your hockey stick. When the hoop with the hockey balls in it was empty you could steal from other peoples hoops. The team with the most balls in their hoop wins. My team won with 8 balls.
The most challenging part was trying to keep the ball on the end of your stick.

The easiest part was just running forward with the ball.

Introducing Dylan

This week for cyber smart we have been making an introduction. So we had to make a google drawing of our selves and write facts on the outside in bubbles.

The hardest part was making the person and writing the facts in the bubbles was easy.
