Multiplying using Algorithms

Today I went to a workshop on Multiplying using Algorithms and I learnt all about how you do them and why it all peaces up correctly. I think the workshop really helped me because before the workshop I had absolutely no clue how to use algorithms for multiplication and now my understanding is a lot stronger and I feel that I am much closer to being able to teach others. I also feel good about myself because I did this worksheet and it was quite easy which was good because it means that I can now move on to challenging myself now!!

Sun Alert!!

This Green Screen is about how you can keep yourself safe while having a great time in the sun. It will teach you all about the different rays and what the damage levels of each one are. It will also help you understand what kind of protection you will need each time you go out into the sun. Hopefully this video entertained you as well as informed you lots about the sun. Comment below on how you think Briana and I did. Hope you enjoy!!

Please come to inter school......

I wrote this to persuade my parents to come and help with interschool my goal was to Give My Opinion

Please come to Interschool...


Dear Parents

If you come to interschool you will be sure to enjoy yourself because you will have some fun with your favourite daughter and watch how she has so much skills in Netball. You will also have an excuse to take time off work for a whole day.

You will also be helping the school so that they don’t have to go out of there way to either try and find people urgently or have to pay for a bus. You will also be helping to kids that you take so that they get to go to interschool and it’s not a worry to get there and play.

This week.....

This week I found my Otago maths sheet really challenging but I enjoyed it because my favourite subject is maths and I like to challenge myself. My goal for my Otago maths sheet was to not give up and keep on persisting until the 30 minute timer was up. I was proud of the things that I saw a big difference in like the things that I wouldn’t have known at the start of the year.

C.O.P.E

C.O.P.E
C stands for curiosity, O stands for open mindedness, P stands for persistence and E stands for empathy. I need to be more curious. Mr Anderson and Mum and Dad can help me when I get stuck. I love to learn maths, writing, W.I.T., art and reading.

All about me

Hi, my name is Michaela and I love animals. I like to learn in a quiet area where there is no noise. I need to work on W.I.T. (W.I.T. is learning about questions, answering them and Finding out about key words and phrases.) I like to read but I need to build up my strength on reading.

Len lye art gallery visit

The Len lye art gallery is so cool when I first stepped into art gallery I thought “WOW”! It was amazing. My experience at the art gallery was unforgettable. I learnt lots about Len Lye himself how he liked moving art and art that makes music and I also learnt about his art.

At the art gallery I was quite interested in a piece of art called “Universe”. It was this big loop of stainless steel with a wooden ball hanging from the roof and every half an hour the big loop of stainless steel would start moving hitting the wooden ball above making music. This Universe piece of art started with the name of “The Loop” because of it's look and  that was the only name Len Lye could think of but then once he heard a little boy say the word universe and it hit Len Lye that he should call The Loop "Universe" because of the sound it makes when the ball hits the stainless steel loop and that's how he got the name of Universe.

I really liked Len Lye’s styles of art and how he liked moving art and art that makes music. To be honest art that is moving and art that moves is pretty cool!

When I first saw the art gallery I was very impressed and just looking art the art gallery from the outside pretty cool but then when you step inside you are just amazed by everything you see. Personally I really liked the wavy walls they are very attractive and Len Lye’s art was very cool!

 

Pepeha Info

I hope you learn lots about what a Pepeha is, when to use a Pepeha, why a Pepeha is so important & what kind of ideas you put in a  Pepeha.

Making Connections

Making Connections is a good way to help you understand the text. It makes you think about how you can relate to the text that you are reading e.g. you could have heard about the topic before, you could have done the topic before, someone could have told you about the topic before and also you could have seen the topic being done before.

When I bit myself

When I bit myself

He slapped me in the face. So I had to take a deep breath and not run after him and slap him back. As he walked proudly because he had won the battle, when I saw that I got even more angry. So I had to take another deep breath and walk away from the situation.

I was still very angry with him so clenched my teeth together without realizing that my arm was in the way. I was not happy straight away I got a big bruise in the shape teeth digging into my arm. The bite was so hard that by the minute the bruise became darker and darker. By that time I was infuriated with Cormac (my brother), not only because he had slapped me, but also the fact that I felt like it was his fault that I had bit myself. My arm was throbbing in pain. I went and told Mum and Jay (our Thai student) about what I had done to myself and they laughed which made me feel a little bit better about myself.

Before camp thoughts

I am a little bit nervous, but I’m mostly excited  for camp, because my Mum is coming full time, which I like because I get a little homesick ,  (especially when I am away from my family). Its also good because she gets to spend time with me on all the fun activities.

I’m looking forward finding out who’s in a tent with me. I want to be with people that I know well. If I got to choose to be in a tent with someone I would choose to be with Bayer and Briana. I like to keep the tent nice and tidy, with my bed made neatly, All the luggage put away neatly

I can’t wait to do some of the water activities because I love to swim! I have never been to the water hole before so I am looking forward to seeing what it’s like.

I wonder what we'll have for dinner. I hope it’s not bacon and eggs! “YUK”
