Something I Did For The First Time

One day after school, I went home and I was really bored. I decided to go on my brothers Chromebook and play games. I was really bored because I didn't know what game to play. I thought really hard and all of a sudden a thought struck me like lightning. I should play Agar.io, I thought. I opened up the agar.io game and started playing.

When I started I was really tiny. I started eating those little circles and got bigger. I ate and ate until I noticed that I could eat the other circles that move! I was chasing a moving circle and a bigger moving circle was chasing me. I ate the little circle and got bigger then suddenly the bigger circle split and ate me! "Noooooooo" I yelled. I was devastated.

I restarted the game and was determined to get bigger. After 5 minutes I was so slow and so big. I thought I was the man. All of a sudden I lagged and ran into a massive circle. I felt like screaming. I retried and retried. I kept playing for 1 hour straight. I think I was getting.... addicted.

I continued playing and before I knew it I was at the top of the leader board. I was extremely happy. I felt generous and decided to feed the smaller circles. I was still gigantic and I continued playing. I got bored because the game wasn't a challenge anymore. I gave my brothers Chromebook back to him and said "I bet you, you can't come first on Agar.io". He looked at me fiercely and replied "Game on".

What I've learnt this week

In Numeracy this week we have been learning about measuring angles. We learned how many degrees there are in a circle, we learned how many degrees there are in a triangle and we learned how to turn North, East, South and West. We got a protractor and learned how to find out how many degrees the kay is. We also learned about the rays, vertex and that the vertex needs to be in the middle of the protractor and the rays have to be lined up to get the correct degree.

In Literacy I learned how to write stories with better vocabulary and I learned how to write with my age words. I learned how to put the right words in the right order and the right capitals and commas in the correct place.

In Inquiry I have learned about charities. I learned that some help the sick, unhealthy and injured and some help the people who can't afford uniforms and stuff. I learned who founded the charities and who helps fund. I really enjoyed researching about charities.

Logo Explanation

Do you know what a personal logo is? No? Want to find out how to design a personal logo? Yes? Good, because today the following text is going to explain what to do.

First of all, brainstorm ideas that would look cool on a logo. Include favourite things like favourite colours, favourite sport, favourite food and more.

Secondly, get a piece of paper and start drawing thumbnail concepts which is little thumbnail sized drawings of the logo design. Draw different designs with different things on it.

After that pick the top three designs that looks most interesting and cool. Then write two or three sentences explaining why they are the best.

Lastly, pick your favourite thumbnail concept and also explain why it comes to your interest and why it’s your favourite. Draw it on the computer using Hyperstudio or any different site and after that print it and use it as a logo. It is important that it is printed first so there is an idea of what it would look like enlarged.

After finishing all those steps finally use your logo as the logo for your company or something else. Be careful not to steal someone else's logo.

We Video Logo Design

Last week my literacy class was learning about how to design a logo. I didn't complete the task last week so here it is. In this WeVideo it tells you the steps we did to create our personal logo. It tells you that we drew things and printed them! But I don't want to spoil it for you so go watch it! I hope you enjoy :)

Cross Country

One sunny Thursday afternoon after lunch, we all went to class and lined up. We all walked through the breeze to the court and sat down for cross country. Mr Burt said a prayer and a little speech and said "Champions never give up". It gave me hope. The year 1's went first and it was boring so me and my friends played a tweet. We played different hand games until finally it was our turn to run.

We all lined up along the line and spread out. Then, CLAP! The sound of the wood clapping together buzzed inside my head as I jogged to the first check point. I was as nervous as a new entrance kid on the first day of school. I could see that everyone was struggling to run because of the mud kept making them slower. I jogged and jogged until I suddenly got tired. I ran slower and slower until finally I was basically walking. A voice in the head kept repeating "Champions never give up". I gave myself hope and raised my chin high in the sky and pulled my arms away from my chest. I saw my friend running ahead of me so I caught up to her.

Mud was splashing on my legs like I was making grape juice with my feet. I struggled to run because the mud kept making me slow down. One lapped passed and we were still jogging. We got to a dry surface and we wanted to catch up to my other friends in front of us. We sprinted towards them and caught up but then they decided to ditch us and run ahead. I got tired so I stopped and waited for my friend to catch up. A few minutes later, she finally caught up and we continued jogging. The scene of the finish line sparked a light of joy inside me.

We sprinted to the finish line and passed it together. Joy was rushing through my body from my head to my toes. Miss Va'afusuanga high fived as and I continued. I was so happy that the run was finally over. I went to wash my muddy legs and have a drink of water. My friend and I high fived and each other. We said well done to each other and left. I left to see the left over kids run and we were cheering and cheering.

I was really proud with the effort I put into the run and I wanted to do another lap. Even though I was muddy, sweaty and tired, I really enjoyed the run and I couldn't wait for next year.

Researching about Charity

Today in class we made a presentation and got a few questions that we answered. We had to pick 2 charities that we had to research about and in the end we had to pick 2 charities that we would share our money with. Click the slide to find out what charities I picked! Thanks for reading my blog ^_^ Enjoy!

What I Have Learnt This Term

This term I have learned multiple things. One of those things in LIteracy were How to design a personal logo and also how to make a Wevideo. If you don't know what a Wevideo is I will post one up next week. I learnt that you can't use "You and I" in an explanation. Explanations are really hard to write when you can;t use you and I but I learnt that you use better vocabulary and more interesting words if you don't use those words.

I have also learnt that maths is important and you need to learn it for the future. In maths I have learnt more about decimals and I have learnt more about ratios. I have learnt how to solve maths questions multiple ways and how to do it the easiest way. Also, I have learnt that all the things I have learnt this term will be used it my gloss test which is coming up soon. I really like maths so I think I'll do pretty good in the test.

In Inquiry I have learnt that saving is important and needs is more important then wants. In Inquiry I have also learnt that ASB is the best bank to bank at because they give you more interest. I have also learnt that it is really hard to feed a family of 4 for a week with only $200.

What I Have Learnt This Week!

This week in Numeracy I have been learning how to solve ratio problems. I have learnt how to solve ratios using multiplication and division strategies. Pentagons and Circles (Mine and Circles) maths group got into groups of two or three and went on to a presentation that had lots of ratios word problems on it. My group (Juliet, Koula and Myself) decided to do different slides and if we got stuck we would ask one of our group members for help.

In Inquiry I have learnt how many interest banks give you! Some banks give you 0% interest and some give you up to 4%. TSB bank had a special bank called "Special Saving" or something and in that bank you're not allowed to take lots of money out of it. The reason being is because you have to save and if you take money out of it you won't get any interest. When you save you get 0.10% interest but that can go to a total of 3.95% the more you save.

Also in Literacy I have learnt how to make a logo design. I learnt how to write an explanation and what words to use while writing it.

Reading Progression

As you can see I am level orange. The reason why I am in orange is because I haven't emailed Mrs Moala my hyperstudio jpg image and I have only completed slides 1-6. Before I reach a higher level I have to email Mrs Moala my jpg and complete slide 9-12 by Wednesday. To do that I am going to stay on task all the time and focus on my work.
 

Financially Responsible

Here is a presentation about saving money. The senior block had to make a copy of it and answer all of these questions inside. Inside this presentation are a few questions about what saving is, is it important, what people save for and more.

Ratios Practise

This week my maths group learned about Ratios. We had to figure out these questions.

Smart Surfing

Today we started learning about Smart Surfing. We learned that google is as dumb as the person typing in what their searching for. We also learned that we have to be specific and use keywords while researching something in google. Here is a presentation of what I would search for things.

Word Plosion

Today our reading group studied the word explanation writing. We went through all the slides and looked at pictures, we talked about them a little bit then wrote what we thought was happening in the photo. We also had to write a sentence explaining what an explanation writing is.

Grocery Store Mistake

Today Mrs Moala showed her maths class a picture that her friend posted on facebook. My maths class had to look at the picture and find out the mistakes the person who created the sign made. We found out that the grocery store gave the wrong prices to customers and instead of placing it where the avocados were, they placed it where the capsicans were. On the sign it says "Single price: $1.98 and the special was 2 for $5". It also says "Hass Avocado Offer Country of Origin Australian Grown", but was placed where the capsicans were.



Here is what the sign should've looked like.

Words Travel Fast

Today Miss Kyla came in and she showed us a video about posting things online. We learned that what ever you post can be seen by everyone. After that we had to create a google drawing and put statements on it about posting things online.

Telling Time

This week we have been learning to tell time on an analog clock.

Smart Footprint T3W2

In my literacy class we have been learning about public and private information. We learned that some people put private information online and they don't even realise it. We also had to create an info graphic that helped others learn what information they should keep private and what information is okay to go public.

Remember to think twice before sharing information about yourself on social media.

Shopping & Change

In maths we have being learning to add and subtract money. In this presentation I go shopping and buy things. I add up the total of the money to see how much it cost, and then I subtract to see how much change I get back.
In slide 2, I got how much money I had, then in brackets I added up the total of the cost. The cost of all the items were $6.60, so I got back $13.40.

Change

Here is my activity I did in maths. I had to make $68.20 in 5 different ways using money. I got images from google and copied and paste them into the presentation. 

Design It! Skt8r Jam Apparel

This is my reading activity I did with my partner Finau. We had to read a book and then answer the questions on the presentation. The book was about designing your own business, and the book is called Design It, edition 2 by Roger Cook. I hope you enjoy reading my presentation and learning lots of things.
