Adam Hall ⛷️

 Hello Readers!

Today I have completed another slide show about a paralympian. I choose to do it about Adam Hall who does skiing. For my slide about Adam this time I made the slide not colourful but simple. I had to remove some of the slides because I couldn't find the answer and he didn't do that thing. Even though I knew where to find the answers to my questions already I still had to search up some questions. The hardest part this time was finding a person to make a slide about. This was because the website didn't provide enough information for some of the paralympians. What I found easy was including images and writing information down. 

Here is my slideshow:

Sophie Pascoe 🏊🏼‍♂️

Kia Ora Readers!

This week for p.e we have been researching about New Zealand paralympians. One paralympian my teacher told my class to research about was Sophie Pascoe. As well as researching about Sophie Poscoe we also had to make a slideshow including facts about her.  Here is a website I used to research about Sophie Pascoe that my teacher recommended: Paralympics New Zealand. 

This first thing I did was research about Sophie, somethings that I couldn't find on the website I just searched up on google. While I was making this slideshow I thought carefully about how I was answering the questions so that the answers all make sense. After I finished answering all the questions I made sure every answer was detailed. Then I included images and made the slideshow look more attractive to readers. 

Here is the slide I made:

 

Thank you for reading I hope you enjoy my slideshow and enjoyed my blog post.

Reading Plus progress report (during lock down)

 Kia Ora Readers!

During lock down I still have been doing reading plus lessons. I spent three hours on reading plus doing vocabulary and reading. I didn't do my absolute best while working on reading plus. This is probably because I wasn't motivated or in the mood to do work. I had to go into support mode because I was getting scores bellow 80 percent, but I did get a combo in support mode. Next time I will try do the work when I am not tired. Thank you for reading.

My name:	Jordan
What went well today:	I got one combo in support mode.
What I found difficult today:	Getting a score above 80 percent.
What my goal is for next time:	Try get a combo with 80 percent or higher.

Bai Yun the Explorer 🐼

 Hello Readers!

During lock-down I have been writing a story about a panda who discovers a red and white bus. This is activity I choose from the lock-down activities my teacher set my class. I got inspiration from a image of a bus that is red in white covered in green leaves. At first I wasn't really sure what I should write about but then I thought of my favourite animal discovering a bus. So that is why my story is about a panda finding a bus. It took me a long time to find the perfect name for this panda, in the end I decided to name the panda Bai Yun which means white cloud in Chinese and is named after a famous female panda. 

If the red  and white bus was your inspiration, what would you write about?

My inspiration:

My writing:

 Bai Yun the explorer 🐼 

One dreamy breezy day a young fierce furry female panda was released to the wild. This young chap is named Bai Yun which means white cloud in Chinese, Yun (cloud) for short. Yun loves exploring everything one day when Bai Yun was out with her mother she was observing the different bamboos in the forest. She got inspired and wrote a whole story about the difference between all of the bamboo's sizes and shapes.

On this breezy day Yun was exploring and suddenly noticed a dazzling lingering trail. But what Bai Yun didn’t know was that there are multiple obstacles throughout the trail. As she starts wandering through the trail she suddenly sees the first obstacle but she doesn’t stop she keeps going. The first obstacle hurdles but there is a twist, you have to jump over all of the hurdles in one minute. 

Bai Yun begins the obstacle and feels very hysterical and thinks she won’t be able to finish the obstacle on time. 30 seconds later, Yun has gone through half of the hurdles. She now feels more confident in herself and in 50 seconds she manages to go through all of the hurdles.  Five minutes later… Yun comes across the next obstacle. This obstacle seems to be very exotic to yun, because it is a puzzle that you have to solve and she loves to do puzzles and put pieces together.

This obstacle was the last one but this obstacle was not easy, Yun is very good at solving puzzles but this puzzle isn’t like any other puzzle. To be able to solve this puzzle you have to work out a riddle. Bai Yun thought this would be as hard as a rock. The riddle was easier than she thought. You only had to unscramble the letters to create a sentence; it was as easy as buttering toast. As Bai Yun initiated the actual puzzle she felt tormented about what was going to happen when she reaches the end of the trail.  

Finally, Yun consummates the trail and discovers this interesting long red and white thing on wheels that she has never seen before. Bai Yun suddenly gets the urge to go into this thing that she has never seen before. As she wanders into the thing she sees a sign saying bus so now she found out that this thing is a bus. Inside of this bus, there is a comfy bed that has very soft and snug pillows. However, this bus isn’t just a normal bus, this bus has been here for thirteen years.

Many people would believe that this is just a bus abandoned but it is a part of history. Bai Yun thinks that this bus is extremely precious and has made herself at home. Especially since it has everything you need to survive even an aggregate pantry of food. At the end of the day, Bai Yun was very ecstatic about what she had found and that she went down the trail. 

Gratitude

Hello Everyone!

I have finished another gratitude activity this time I choose to make something to do with being grateful. I decided to make a poster on google drawing with the things i'm grateful for because I don't really use google drawing. I thought about things I'm grateful for and included a image of each thing.  Since I wasn't able to include every thing in the google drawing poster I made another poster with the things I couldn't include. I hope you like my poster, stay safe.

Here is my poster:

Gratitude Journal

 Hello Readers!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while this is due to lock down in New Zealand and not having any work to do. But I have finished some work my teacher has set my class to do during this lock down.  There are multiple choices that I got to choose from but I choose a gratitude Journal because it is simple and doesn't take long to do. In the gratitude journal it  includes the amount of sleep you get, a physical activity you did, digital time, something that makes you happy, something that you like about your self and something positive etc. I hope you are doing ok.

What have you been doing?

Here is what I did:

Watercolour 💧 🎨 Flowers 💐 🌺🌻🌼🌹

Greetings Readers!

This term in art with Miss Keene our main focus for the first three weeks has been watercolour painting. We firstly learned the different techniques and ways of using watercolour to create art and  showed what the different techniques look like from a quizlet they are dilution, glazing, layering, value or tone, intensity, tint and movement. The next step we did was draw flowers and try to make them look realistic. Once we knew the different techniques and knew how to create flowers we created a draft of different flowers we can create. 

After we knew what type of flower we wanted to paint for our main painting we got a proper piece of watercolour paper and begun painting. I firstly painted one image of one group of similar flowers and  then made another painting with three different types of flowers. My work has changed alot since the first time I did my water colouring because I added different effects.  The quizlet and slides of drawing definitely helped me a lot. I hope you enjoyed my blog post.

Have you ever watercolour painted?

Here is my inspiration for my painting:

Coding 👾🖥️

 Hello Everyone!

This term I have had coding as a part of my learning. We used a website called code.org to learn how to do coding. I didn't really think I was going to be the best coder in the class but I have actually had the most success. I have enjoyed coding and I do think i'm quiet good at it. The only thing I struggle with is making the character do the correct thing because sometimes I get confused with code. My goal by the end of this term is to be able to make a game by my self that is simple but is fun to play. 

Here is a image of a code im doing at the moment:
