Clever Counting

Hi bloggers, We are learning Samoan every Wednesday and over the last two weeks, we have been learning how to count to ten. I found this quite easy as it is very similar to counting to 10 in Maori. Today we used Scratch to code a programme that would show people how to count to ten in Samoan. Check it out! Can you count to 10 in any other language?

Binary Code

Kia Ora Bloggers,

On Wednesday after tech, we do coding with Mr.G and we have been working on binary.
Can you try to make this picture ( Black = 0   White = 1 )

How to make it: On google docs make a 10 x 14 table and then follow my binary code and make my picture :)

My Identity

Kia Ora Bloggers, For the past few weeks we have been looking at our family trees and our mihi. All of my close family is from New Zealand. I only did a very small family tree and other people did big ones. For the start of our mihi, we had to write down our family and translate them into Maori words. Here is my slide

Original Oranga Tamariki Poster

Kia Ora bloggers, This term for Inquiry our topic is connecting with our community. For the past week we have been looking at places to go if we needed help of support. We got given the task to create a poster with a place of our choice. I chose Oranga Tamariki because I think it is a good place to go for kids that are abused, unsafe or in danger to get support. Here is the poster I created

This Is Just To Say - William Carlos Williams - Parody

Kia ora bloggers, This week in literacy we looked at the poem, This Is Just To Say By William Carlos William and we created our own parody First, we looked at the original poem

I have eaten

The plums

That we’re in the icebox

And which

You were probably

Saving for breakfast

Forgive me they were

Delicious

So sweet

And so cold

As you can see it is quite simple but clear. Next, we replaced the blue words for our own plus we were allowed to change some. Here is my one

I have taken your dogs to the park

They were roaming around on the road

That is why I took them

And which they are happy at the park

You were most likely wondering where they where

And you where Probably going to take them for a walk

Forgive me they were so cute and so fluffy

So sweet

And so warm

My one is quite different from the original as I changed quite a few words.

Have you written any poems??

I look foward to seeing you next time

What Is A Waste??

Kia Ora Bloggers In Literacy this term we are focusing on the topic of waste and different types. Our task was to answer the 6 questions on the slide using two different websites and then we had to create our own menus ( lunch and dinner ) for 5 days of the week trying not to waste much following the advice of different websites here is what I created

Brilliant Bar Graphs

Kia ora Bloggers!

Welcome back to the new year and my first blog post.

In Davies math group we have been revising our knowledge on bar graphs. 

First, we had to create a bar graph containing the information of davies math group eye colour. I had not drawn one in a while so I couldn't really what it looked like.

I know it's not very good because it did not show the information very well but know I have a checklist 

• Scale starting at 0 and going up equally 
• Gaps between the bars, 
• even the y-axis Labelling my axis 
• A detailed title T
• The frequency numbers on the lines, not in the squares Use a ruler

I tried again and BOOM! my second attempt is so much better

I have ticked everything on my checklist and it shows my information nice and clearly

Have you started your math programme yet?

If you have what are you learning?
