Reading Plus

 Hello Readers!

Today I did another lesson of reading plus but this time we were in the classroom instead of the library. The only thing that went well today was getting a score of 84 and I might be getting a support combo soon. I found it difficult today because the teachers kept comparing all of us. Next time I will try read something interesting and make sure I get a combo. Thank you for reading my post.

Reading Plus

 Hello Readers!

Today I had another lesson of reading plus. I now have realised I haven't gotten good scores so I promise you that I will get three combos at home to improve. I never like getting bad scores and I really want to improve it. But I got good scores for vocabulary.

Reading Plus

 Hello Readers!

Today for reading plus we had to do a test to see the progress we made. For me it was ok but also no the most funnest thing to do today. I think I did ok but i'm also very nervous about my results because I don't know if I made any progress. I believe that I got most of my things correct but I'm not that confident because I got distracted a lot because we did this test in the library at school.  Thank you for reading.

Pepeha

 Kia Ora!

This week for Maori Language week we have been doing some tasks. One of the tasks were to create a pepeha. I used a website to create my pepeha here is the website: website. For me this was quiet easy to create because I have done this many times. The hardest part was finding my river and mountain. Thank you for reading my blogpost.

Māori Language week

 Kia Ora Readers!

Happy Māori language week from me to you!

This week in wananga class we have been celebrating Māori  language week. Part of our task was to create a presentation teaching people words/phrases. We could  base our presentation of numbers, emotions and shapes. I choose to base mine of emotions because it seemed to be the most interesting option for me. Firstly I picked a website this time I used visme. Visme is a website you can create presentations, info graphics, charts/graphs, printables, web graphics, social graphics, video/gif and much more. 

As I begun making this presentation I made sure it didn't look to boring to readers because if it is then it would be a presentation no one would look at. Some ways I made my presentation more attractive to readers are: including emojis, adding colour, changing fonts and changing backgrounds. After I completed the presentation I made sure everything was spelled correct and made sense. Finding the meaning of the emotions was tricky for me. Decorating the presentation was simple for me.

Reading Plus

 Hello Readers!

Today I had another lesson of reading plus, this time I finally got a combo. I was sort of interested in the stories I was reading this time. But now the rest of the stories aren't the type of stories I like to read. I will practise reading plus in the weekend if I have time and will update you.

Reading Plus

 Salam (greetings) Readers!

Today for reading plus I have sort of improved. This time I only did see-reader I noticed that I got better scores for my support combos but not for normal combos. I believe this is due to not focusing and having more chances look back and read to get answers for comprehension. The easiest part was making a support combo. Next time I will practise at home so I can get combos.

Coding💻

 Hello Readers!

This week I have been creating games from coding. I have learnt lots of skills from watching the videos. I believe I have improved and now know how to create games. The only thing I struggled with is using a certain amount of coding blocks. Everything else was mostly  easy for me. For this blog post I created a game you can play by using the arrow keys. Making the game was really easy and I think next time I will try something more difficult. 

 Important info: make sure to use the arrow keys to play the game and try to hit the cupcake and not get stung by the bees.

Here is my game:

Reading plus

 Hello Readers!

Today I did some more reading plus. I got very good scores for my vocabulary but I am still struggling to get combos. I had to go into the support mode near the end of the lesson due to getting low scores. The reason I got really low scores is because a lot of people kept talking and I got distracted. Now that I keep getting bad scores I will practise at home and update date you.

Gratitude

 Hello everyone,

today I completed another gratitude template. I also started a story about a haunted house but I haven't finished it yet. This task was really easy so next time I will try something more challenging. I made a google drawing and included a image to write on the screenshot. Sorry this blurb isn't the most detailed.

Here is my work:

Back to School 😟🏫

 Hello Everyone!

After 3 weeks of online learning we are finally back to school. The only difference is we have to social distance and sanitise. I feel very anxious about being back at school. While I was at home I was very bored because I could only do google meets. It's good to be back at school and seeing my friends. During lock down I was doing quite a lot of work and clean my room and house up. I also did some  baking and watercolour art.

The first thing we did when we got to school was talk about what we did in lock down and how we feel back at school. My teacher also told us precautions. We have to follow the rules while we're at school to stay safe and not get sick. So far today has been boring we haven't really being doing much work. 

Here are some safety rules you should follow to stay safe:

Bai Yun Reunites

 Hello Readers!

For the past few weeks, I've been writing part two of Bai Yun. This time it is more amusing and includes more fantasy. I used Grammarly to help me write this story and make sure the story made sense. The easiest part of using grammarly was fixing my mistakes. Another website I used to help me is called thesaurus. It's a website that tells you words you can use instead of using a boring words. For example, you can use spoken instead of said. 

After I finished part two of Bai Yun I read it to make sure it made sense.  Next time I'm going to try to include more unique words. Cause I didn't get the best score for it. Thinking of ideas was complicated for me. Re-reading my story to fix any mistakes was effortless for me. I hope you enjoyed my blog post.

What is your favourite part of my story?

Here is my grammarly score I got for my writing:



Here is my writing:

              

  Bai Yun Reunites One mysterious day Bai -Yun had a feeling something interesting was going to happen. So she starts exploring as she does every day. Suddenly this magical portal appeared. This portal leads to a world called Palanda. Palanda is a world not like any other world. It doesn't matter what size, shape, or form you are, everyone's included. As the sun rises in Palanda, every panda wakes up and says a traditional prayer to have a long, happy life. Among the seas of Palanda there are three different types of boats. Blue boat to travel, to collect food you use a brown boat and purple boat for rescue uses. Bai -Yun decided she wanted to travel across the sea to find some friends. Bai-Yun enters the blue boat and finds two pandas who seem friendly there named Ling-Ling and Po. They are both females and come from the east side of Palanda. Ling Ling begins to introduce herself; she is from the east-west of Palanda, her family are fashion designers. Po acquaints herself. She says she is from the south-east of Palanda. Po's family creates art. Finally, Bai -Yun introduces herself Bai-Yun says; she is from the earth and transported to Palanda from a portal. Ling-Ling was very curious about Bai Yun. So she began asking questions about why Bai Yun came to Palanda. " Do you have any family here?" Ling-Ling asks. " My mother once said I have two siblings who live in another world. It might be this world I am trying to look for them." Po joins the conversation, " that is genuinely interesting. Are we able to help?" " Yes, you are. You guys will make it way easier for me to find my long-lost siblings. The boat arrives at a destination. This place is extraordinarily unique to Palanda because it has the most beautiful views and delightful food. Po is very familiar with this city because this is where she got raised. They exit and spot a restaurant. It's called " Foo San," It's the restaurant Po used to go to for every celebration. Food comes to the table and looks ambrosial. After they take their first bite, they can't stop. The food is spectacular and delicious. Po spots her favorite mall and tells the others. Then they walk to the mall in excitement. Bai Yun enters the mall first because she is thrilled. The first store they all spot is a store full of teddies! Ling-Ling loves teddies so do the others Ling-Ling ran into the store with excitement. She spots two pandas looking at purple dinosaur teddies. Both of the pandas look similar to Bai Yun. So she asks them what their names are. The male panda says his name is Tai Shan the female says her name is Mei Lan. " Do you guys have any other siblings?" asks Ling-Ling. " Yes, and we're trying to find them," says Mei Lan. " Oh, I have a friend who is also trying to find her siblings as well. Do you know your long-lost sibling's name?" Says Ling- Ling. " Yeah, her name is Bai Yun," says Tai Shan. " That is the name of my friend. Do you want to meet her?" "Of course we do," says the long-lost siblings. Tai Shan and Mei Lan go to look for Bai Yun. Mei Lan finds Bai Yun and tells her that they are siblings. Bai Yun is astonished that she finally met her long-lost siblings she's been trying to find. Both Mei Lan and Tai Shan are thrilled to be together forever.

Cameron Leslie🏉🏊🏼‍♂️

 Hello Readers!

Today I completed my final paralympian task. This time instead of using a slide show I decided to use Visme which is  a website similar to canva. I wanted to try something new because using google slideshows gets boring. I found this website from my friends blog so go check out her blog because her work is amazing: Venice. Anyways this website was very easy to use for my first time. For this task I choose Cameron Leslie. He plays wheel chair rugby and also does para swimming. My favourite part about this task was decorating the slide. After I finished the presentation I made sure every thing made sense and made this blog post.

Reading Plus Progress

 Kia Ora Readers!

This week for reading plus I have to do 3 more hours of work on reading plus. So far I have completed 1 hour and 7 minutes of proper work I have 1 hour and 53 minutes more to do on reading plus. Work for me today was easier because I was motivated and had no distractions around me.  My scores on reading plus has improved because I've been reading stories I'm interested in and focused really well.

For Vocabulary I did two lessons and in total got 9 words mastered and 5 words in progress. It is better from when I did it last month on the 13th I got only 6 words mastered and 8 words in progress. For reading I got really good scores I got a combo with the score of 80 percent and 100 percent. I also got 94 on another story but the next story I read I got 58 percent. I think I got 58 on the last story I read because I wasn't really interested in the story. Thank you for reading.

Here is my reflection:

Tim Prendergast 🏃🏽

Salam (Greetings) Readers!

Today I completed another slideshow about a New Zealand Paralympian. I did it about another male this time because I couldn't find any females I wanted to do a slideshow about. It was very easy for me to complete this slideshow because I used a simple theme and found it easy to get information. This slideshow is about Tim Prendergast. Tim is was a runner for the NZ Paralympics team and competed at four different games. He wasn't the most famous Paralympian but he was a very good runner in deed. I hope you enjoy my slideshow.

Here is my slide I finished:

Improving Cartoon Watercolour art 💧 🎨

 Hello Readers! 

Today I decided I wanted to try improve my watercolour painting and drawing. I have been working on my cartoon watercolour paint as well as drawing. Since I wasn't happy with the some of my art I did last time I tried to re do them but use different drawings of them. The cartoon characters I did again to improve are Pan Pan, Grizz and Ice bear from "We Bare Bears." Also Gumball, Darwin and Anais from " The Amazing World Of Gumball." 

This task was not set for me but improving my water colouring is a goal I set for my self. For me this task was very fun because I like to do all sorts of different art. My favourite type of art is probably abstract and watercolour. Colouring the drawings was a little bit tricky for me because the drawings are kind of detailed. Drawing was easy for me and I love to draw and I have some skills. When I completed my art I was happy with it but I'm not really sure if I improved.

  Do you think I improved? 

Here is the art I tried to improve :


We Bare Bears Art

Gumball Art

Darwin and Anais Art

LESSON 3: WHAT CAN WE USE FOR WET MEDIA?

 Hello Readers!

This week for art I did one activity. I choose to do the wet media task, for this task you use supplies around your house to create colours with water. In the end I only actually found two things that created a colour/watercolour paint. They were coffee and food colouring. Some other things I tried to mix with water that didn't work was : cinnamon and the inside of tea bags.  After I created the mixtures I drew some drawing that were related to the mixture. The easiest part was making the mixture the hardest part was drawing.

Here is what I did:

Multi-Digit Addition Task 1

 Hello Readers!

This week for maths we have been doing things differently due to lockdown and also to try something new.  Each group got set tasks to do by the 8th of September. My group Waffle's task was to do page one of basic facts, page five and if you want you can try page six.  Waffle also had to watch a video about multi-digit addition. In the video a guy explained how to do addition with the column up method.

In conclusion this work I was set to do by the 8th of September was too easy for me and I already knew how to use method before. Also I thought I was supposed  to do page 2 so it will be including in this post. My group also has another task to do but I will post when I have completed it because I have some other work to do today. 

Do you know how to do the column method to add numbers?

Here are the pages:
