The great escape!

For this week's lockdown learning one of our tasks that we had to do was a maths digital escape room. We had to click on the furniture in the digital escape room and decode the message by answering maths questions. We had the option to do this and I decided to do it but the questions were so hard I had to get my mum to help me with it.

I enjoyed decoding the message even though it didn't make much sense. For me the message that me and my mum decoded was maths mastce, which isn't a word. I found it difficult to figure out some of the questions because they were really hard. And the bottom of the slide some had the answer written behind 2 letters so it was hard to pick which one I was going to use, but it really depended on wether it made sense or not.

When you figure out a question you have to get the answer sheet and write the letter that you got from the maths question. At the bottom of the answer sheet there are letters with the answers muddled up with numbers and you had to type the letter next to the answer on the answer sheet. And when you've finished you should have decoded a message. Me and my mum did all the questions but we only decoded the first word, Maths. Have you ever been in an escape room? Digitally or reality. 

Fizz inflator!

 Today for our lockdown learning one of our tasks was to create a science experiment. Me and my mum did the task because our teacher said it would be really fun and it was. I really liked the part when the balloon started filling up. But if it filled up to much then it would pop.

For this task we had to fill a bottle with a tiny bit of vinegar and then use a funnel and attach the funnel to the balloon and fill it - not all the way - with baking soda and then attach the balloon to the plastic bottle, tip the balloon so the baking soda is falling into the vinegar, and then watch it rise!

I enjoyed doing the experiment and watching the balloon rise. I found it difficult to know when to stop the balloon from filling up so it wouldn't pop. I think the amount the balloon rises can be controlled by the amount of vinegar and baking soda is put into it. I dont think the size of the bottle affects how much the ballon fills, I think it only affects the amount of time it takes to fill the balloon because if the bottle is bigger it will take a longer amount of time because of the height and if the bottle is smaller than it would take a shorter amount of time. Here's a link to see the site that I got the experiment instructions from, theres also a video on it that you can watch.  

The great outdoors!

During lockdown we were set a task to do something outdoors. We were doing it because our teacher thought we should go outside because I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I like lockdown because I get to stay inside, sleep, watch TV, and play on my chromebook.

Me and my sisters decided that we would take videos and pictures of us jumping and playing on the trampoline because we thought it would be really, really fun to do something that we do everyday to put on my blog and my sisters liked the idea of being on my blog.

I enjoyed jumping and playing with my sisters on the trampoline but it was hard to get them not to say something crazy,  especially my youngest sister. I found it difficult to get to the tramp on time before the 3 second timer on my chromebook ran out and the video or photo started. I hope you like the photos. Sorry I could'nt get the video link for you to watch it.🌳 

The amazing race!

Before

  We did this activity for fun. We were doing it for       something called the amazing race. We did just for     fun, no competition, just fun.                                       For this task I had to get 10 books and make a   skyscraper out of them and only three of them could   be closed the rest had to be open. I thought it would   be a good idea to pile the 7 books open at the bottom and the others closed on top. Have you ever made a tower of books? You should because it's really fun. I really liked the way it looked when it was finished.

And after.

For this challenge I created an obstacle for me and my sisters to do. We had to hold a bucket full of water and do the obstacle while holding it.

First we had to jump over bamboo sticks, next we had to walk through blue mini soccer goals, then we had to go under the chair, then we had to tight rope on a broom, and lastly we had to run through a path made of bamboo sticks and run back.

We had to time each other on it, I was 24.40 seconds, my other sister got 33.80, and my youngest sister got roughly 31.85 seconds.

I enjoyed making and running the obstacle course. But I found it difficult to run with a bucket full of water.

Have you ever created an obstacle course?

We were to use the word geometry and make 10 words out of it. My words were:

The

Melt

Got

Get

Them

There

Thermal

Geo

Goth

Her.

Amazing facts about dolpins.

This week for our lockdown learn, create, share in reading we had to choose out of a number of animals to write 5 facts or create a food chain including that animal or create a google drawing poster about that animal. The animal that I chose was dolphins and I decided to write a 5 fact poster on google slides. What's your favourite animal? Mine is an octopus.

For this task I typed out 5 facts that I researched in digital books and videos and typed them in my own words in a textbox in google slides. 

I enjoyed choosing the images on the slide and researching the facts. I found it difficult to find the 5th fact because the researching that I did had lots of facts and it was difficult to choose a 5th fact and put it in my own words.

Did you know that bottlenose dolphins have 70 - 140 teeth??!! That is a lot of teeth. And did you know that they only have one set of teeth their whole lives? And they live about 40 years, which means that they have the same teeth for 40 years. Here's a link to see 5 fun facts about dolphins. And here's a link to a video that transports you to youtube to watch it and learn more about dolphins. Here's a link to see super senses and how dolphins navigate to find objects under water.

The fun faith title page!

A few weeks ago we were learning about Faith and what it means to us. We learnt it because we were learning about Faith because that was our RE value for the term.

To make the poster we had to write the word Faith at the top and then chose a few bible quotes to write on the page. And we also had to write what we feel about Faith and then draw some pictures around it that represent Faith. I sketched and then coloured a bible, hands praying, a candle, a few crosses, and multiple hearts.

Do you know what Faith means? Or what you can do to create Faith inside you? Do you think you might like to create a fun faith title page? Its really fun!

Heres a link to see a video about a puppet and a man describing faith. And heres another video about kids describing faith and what it means to them.

Enjoy Japan and these facts.

Kon'nichiwa! - Hello.

For the past few weeks me and my class have been learning about Japan.                                                  I enjoyed learning about people and the celebrations that they have in Japan. Did you know that Japan has a childrens day on May the 4th? Childrens day is like mothers or fathers day exept for children. I found it difficult to learn about animals becasue in all the books that we read on our chromebooks they only had 1 or 2 facts about aimals.

Do you want to know about the Japanese flag? If you do than did you know that the red circle on the Japanese flag is actually a sun? Japan in also sometimes called the land of the rising sun. Heres a link to learn all about the nintendo video games designer. And heres another link to learn about Japan, and heres a link to learn about Its cool to learn about countries: Japan. We were learning about Japan because it really interesting an the Tokoyo Olympics were held in Tokyo, Japan. Did you know that cherry blossoms are the main plants in Japan. Have you ever been any were in Japan or near Japan? I haven't.

I hope you like my slide and decide you want to go to Japan someday and see a cherry blossom. I hope learned all about Japan

The Olympic games

Kia ora! This week for reading we were learning about the Olympic games because the Olympic games were happening in Tokyo, Japan. On the slides that I was creating I had to write facts about the Olympic games, the ancient Olympics, the opening ceremony, and the Olympic Mascots.Did you know that there is a Olympic Mascot and a Paralympic mascot? Paralympic means an Olympic game but for disabled people. Did you know that in the Ancient Olympics the men doing the Olympics ran naked because there clothes were to heavy to run in? Have you ever watched the Olympic games in real life or on TV before? Here is a link. Here's another link, and here's the last link. This last link takes you to Kiddle so you can learn about the Olympics. I enjoyed looking up facts and searching for imformation. I found it difficult to put the facts and research into my own words and I also found it difficult to chose some of the backgrounds because I couldn't find a background based on the theme of the slide so I setteled on tie diy backgrounds. Next time I would change some of my facts and the way I wrote them and also I would change some of my backgrounds.
