NZSL :)

 As you may know, we have tech on Wednesdays, so while we are back at school we focus on something different every week or 2 weeks, as you should know this week is signed language week. We have been learning lots of different things about sign language. Here is the NZSL alphabet...

We learnt the alphabet, how to say our name and lots of different other things. We used this website to learn our sign language, you can use this to learn NZSL for yourself :)

We also had to make a video of us signing our name but unfortunatley it wouldn't upload to my blog. 

Dreams

 Kia Ora Bloggers

This week we have gotten a few topics and we had to research one of them, I chose to research about dreams. I have learned a lot about dreams doing this, like how you have up to 4 - 6 dreams each night but only remember some of it! or depending on your mood before you go to sleep affects what your dreams about, if you are frustrated you are more likely to have a dream about you falling, failing, or getting attacked.

Here is the doc:

ISS :)

 Kia Ora Bloggers

For the last few days in Gillstrom literacy we have been focusing on the ISS (International Space Station), we watched this video so we could get a good understanding of it. The purpose of the ISS is to bring research and answers about the satellites. While we were watching the video we wrote down some notes that could help us write a timeline, this is the timeline that I made.

My timeline explains what happens during the years in the ISS

Our next task was to create our own module on an ISS world on Minecraft, I chose to create a kitchen so the people in the ISS can sit down and eat their food also because they don't really have anywhere that they can just relax. As I was writing this I realised that if they sit on a seat they will float up in the air so they might have to have seatbelts or something to keep them on the seat. Here are some screenshots of my module.

I hope you liked it :)

Skin Care Business

Kia Ora Bloggers

This Wednesday we got into groups and came up with our own business. We did this so we could have an understanding of how businesses work and what you should be prepared for if you ever start one. My group made a skincare business. This is the slide we created (It's not finished yet)

Have a good day :)

Maths Experiment :)

 Kia Ora Bloggers

In maths, we are working on probability and this week we got to create our own experiment with a partner. I went with Jess and our experiment had to be about how many times you can roll a one with two dice

This is what we did.

See you next week :)

Flight

 Kia Ora Bloggers

For literacy this term we are doing science, each week we have a different topic that we focus on. This week we were focusing on flight, we got to go with a partner and come up with our own experiment I went with Sienna and our question was does the type of paper on a paper plane affect the flight. Each week we write a science report on our experiment here is mine:

See you next week! : )
