My Hagglund

Today in "Working From Home" I read a story about Antarctica. Once you had finished reading the story you had to create a "Thinglink" about the Main Character. My story didn't have the main character so I created a "Thinglink" about a "Hāgglund". A Hāgglund is a Swedish Vehicle built in 1974 used for military purposes. But once scientists started coming to Antarctica, they used it for traveling long distances. This Hāgglund was very fun to make and research. Here is my Hāgglund. If you have any comments or questions please comment below. P.S You can also have a ride in a Hāgglund at the international Antarctic center. There is an obstacle course built for the Hāgglund. Here is a photo of me in it.

Solvemoji Puzzles

Today in "Working From Home" My step mum (Jess) and I  worked on some Emoji puzzles. Instead of numbers, there were Emojis. You had to work out the value of the Emoji's and solve the Equation. They started off being easy, then they got to medium, and then they went to hard. Hard wasn't super hard, but it was a little bit tricky. It took us about 25 minutes. Here are the Emoji puzzles. Feel free to comment! (Answers are in the slide underneath the equations)

The Sneaglegator

Today in "Working From Home" I read a description about "The Sneaglegator" It's a mystical creature that is part Eagle, part Alligator, and part Snake. They have scales like Alligators wings like an Eagle and a body like a Snake. The adult males have a darker green color and they like to hide up high in the treetops and down low on the forest floor. You can usually find them in rainforests but very few human beings have seen them. They are now critically endangered and there are only 63 left in the entire world. They are one of the very few creatures that hunt at night time. They are also nocturnal. I read the description and we had to make a google drawing, drawing, etc. About what you think the Sneaglegator would look like. Here is my image of the Sneaglegator hope you like it!  

Julian Dennison

Today in "Working From Home" I made a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about Julian Dennison. Julian Dennison is an actor from Lower Hutt City. He became even more famous by starring in the movie "Hunt For The Wilderpeople" as his role "Ricky Baker" but his first movie was Shopping (2013) Here is the DLO that I made about Julian Dennison.

Different Types Of Sentences

In the past few weeks for hurumanu 3, we have been learning about different types of sentences. We have learned about 3 different types of sentences. The w-start, The adverb-start, and the very short sentence.

The w-start starts with a w word, eg. While, whilst, when, and where. Eg. Whilst Bob was sleeping, I crept out of the house. The very short sentence is used to create suspense and or drama. eg. From Moby dick by Herman Melville, Call me Ishmael. And the very short sentence has to be 5 words or less. The Adverb start is a sentence that starts with an Adverb. which is an adjective mixed in with a verb and it has to end with ly. eg. Annoyingly, he had to wait in the car for hours.

We had to write two sentences for each about our biltong experiments or our seedling experiments. These are my sentences. Feel free to comment below!


Adverb-Starts
1. Anxiously, we had to wait 2 weeks before we could try our biltong.
2. Disgustingly, he screwed up his face because the biltong was too salty.

W-Starts
1. Whilst he was gone, the bean went all furry and moldy.
2. When he was gone, the seed attempted to grow.

And finally, Very Short Sentences.
1. The seed grew.
2. The biltong was too salty.

Different Types Of Sentences

Today for hurumanu 3, we worked on different types of sentences. We worked on the W-start which is a sentence that starts with a W word. eg. Whilst, While, When, etc. And the very short sentences, eg. from Moby Dick: "Call me Ishmael".

We had to make a paragraph using 1 very short sentence and two W-starts. This is my paragraph...

Science of Mars Task #2 Growing Seedlings

Last week we planted beans. well not planted but put them in a beaker with a wet paper towel. I was in a group with Kyle. 

Today we looked at the beans again and for some reason mine was moldy. Mine and Kyle's were at the same level and for some reason, Kyle's didn't go moldy.

I think it went moldy because there was too much water and the water drowned it, and then the water evaporated and the bean was exposed to air.

This is Kyle's bean 

And this is My bean.

Procedural Writing

Today for Hurumanu 3 we did Procedural writing. We did a practice procedural writing about breakfast. We could either do what we had for breakfast this morning or any breakfast we chose.
I chose fried eggs on toast, it was pretty easy but I didn't understand the difference between materials and ingredients but then Reuben told me and I understood. This is the Procedural Writing that I did.

Fried Eggs On Toast

• Materials
• Toaster
• Plate
• Knife & Fork
• Pan
• Stovetop

• Ingredients
• 1 or 2 Eggs
• 1 piece of Bread
• Salt and pepper

• Steps
• Get a pan and put it on a stovetop
• Turn the stovetop onto 7 or 8
• Wait for the pan to get warm and grab 1 or 2 eggs and crack them into the pan
• Put the egg shells into the bin
• Grab a toaster and put the piece of bread into it
• When the toast pops put it onto the plate
• When the edge of the eggs turn white cover the pan
• Wait another 4 to 5 minutes
• When the eggs are finished carefully get them out and put them onto your toast.
• Put salt and pepper on top of the eggs
• Enjoy!

I think fried eggs are really good and they taste good as well. They are a great breakfast because
they have so much protein but just watch out for how much bread you have.
  When using pans please have adult supervision.

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.
