Camp movie

Hi everyone!

Last month which was October, Ruru went to camp on the 27th Wednesday to the 29th Friday. When we got back from camp, 1 week later or something we created a mini movie about camp. We used WeVideo to create it. When I created my DLO (Digital learning object) I learning that, you could add music and make the text smaller. I've really enjoyed making my movie on WeVideo. It was a really fun way to create a movie. I think that next time we make a movie I will use WeVideo again. I didn't find anything difficult or that interesting. Next time I think that I could do better by maybe adding voice overs and more pictures and also videos. 

Here is the movie that I have created! 

I hoped you enjoyed watching

School camp recount

 Hi everyone!

In October 27th Wednesday Ruru went to Camp at Living Springs. We did lots and lots of fun stuff. But we had a walk to camp for like 2 hours! It was really tiring. We came back on Friday with our day pack and out big bag. I bought a yellow luggage. Camp was literally AMAZING! I hope we can go there next year. It was fun but tiring. We had to wake up at 6:30 in the morning! The next week when we got back to school we had to write a recount about what we did at camp.

Here is my recount about camp!

School Camp

On wednesday we went to camp, by 2 ginormous buses. I felt like it took an hour to get to living springs. But it was only like 45 minutes. Bus 1 had tribes 1 and 2 and bus 2 had tribes 3 and 4. I was in tribe 4. Later we had to get dropped off at a place where there were toilets and places to eat. Me and my friends Sofi, Hannah, Seoa, Soi and Dasha built a small hutt together made of colossal sticks. Sometime later we had to start walking to Living springs for hours! We started walking half way in our tribes. Tribes 1 and 2 were together and tribes 3 and 4 were walking together. We learned many things.  Soon when all of us met together at the farm, we had lunch. There were also 2 or 3 kunekune pigs. They were big. Me Sofi and Alister started climbing a tree. Minutes later we continued walking. However we didn’t need to walk in our tribes anymore! We mostly had to walk uphill. The 1st hill we had to walk up had so much sheep poop everywhere! When we were at the camp, I felt like my legs were broken. It was the most exhausting walk I have ever had in my entire life. The weather was EXTREMELY hot as well. But the view at the top was Super beautiful. Soon we got to get our big bags and go to our bunk rooms and set up our bunks. 20 minutes later or something we literally had to do orienteering. I HATED it. We had to get in groups of 5 or 6. I was in Sofi’s group. Every single group got a map and a board thing and a whiteboard marker or something. My group got Sofi’s mom to help us find the things. Sofi held the map and Soi held the board thing with the whiteboard pen. We had 30 minutes or something to find all the letters to spell a word but I forgot what the word was. After that we got to do recreation games. There we had a monorail, trampolines, rope spring, minigolf, zipline, and also sports. The ones I did were trampolines, rope swing and also minigolf. Soon we got freetime. For freetime we got to go back to our bunk rooms and continue making our beds. Later we had dinner. Dinner was really delicious. A few minutes after dinner we got to have dessert. For dessert we got to have ice cream with fruits. After that we had to auction. There were lots of things including candy. The auction took ages to finish. It was incredibly noisy. But I didn’t buy anything there because Then we finally got to go swimming in the big indoor swimming pool. The water was freezing cold. So I got out of the pool. Same with Sofi and seoa. ON the way back to our bunk rooms, me and Seoa were shivering the entire way back! We got into the cabins, We saw Sofi Sitting in her bed doing her knitting and me and Seoa were like: WHAT! We didn’t see Sofi come out of the pool and we were a tiny bit confused. Then we got dressed. I was still a bit cold after I got dressed, then I realized that I forgot to dry my hair! So then I dried my hair with my soaking wet towel. 

Soon we had the camp concert. When we got in we saw our song on the projector thing. We were so terrified. Then Sofi’s mom asked the teachers if we could not go 1st. But we were 4th, I wanted to be AT LEAST 10th. But it doesn’t matter. And all the judges gave us 10!nWe were so happy. At the end we got our duffy books. The book that I got was the ghost at dawn's house. Soon we went to bed and IT WAS THE WORST SLEEP IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!! Because 3 of my friends were talking so much and THEY were LAUGHING! It was SO frustrating to sleep. 30 minutes later or something they were still laughing and talking but luckily I fell asleep. But they kept on talking! It was really, really, really, really ANNOYING!

The next day we had to do 4 activities, and each activity was 1 hour and 30 minutes long. There was Bush Ecology, Initiatives, Low ropes, and also bouldering. My favourite ones were Low ropes and bouldering. It was very fun but very tiring. Soon we had dinner, dinner was also very good. Then we had desert but I didn’t want it. Then we had the auction again. Again I didn’t buy anything.

Then we went swimming, me and Sofi didn’t go swimming because it was cold. Later we went swimming but I stayed for around 1 minute and left with Seoa and Hannah. Then we had another auction. I got a lollipop. And we had a movie. Then we went to sleep. 

The next day we had to be cleaning up our bunk rooms. I took like 8 minutes to pack everything up and get dressed. Then we did recreation games. Like Trampolines, Rope swing, mini golf, balance bikes and other stuff like that. Soon we had the animal survival game. There were wild dogs, large herbivores, small carnivores and also small herbivores. Around when half of the game was done there was flood, rabies and also a hunter. I was a large herbivore with Seoa and I think also Soi? It was very fun. Wild dogs had 2 lives, large herbivores had 4, same with small carnivores, and small herbivores had 8. I only lost 1 life that means I had 3 left. I was a deer in large herbivores. Then we had lunch. Then we left camp and went back to school.

WALT: Use personal information and literacy knowledge to make meanings from texts.

This week there are no book choices for reading but at least we still have the creates task to do. Basically everything is about Chinese. Because it is Chinese language week. This week we have 4 create tasks to do.

For the 1st create task we have recreate a comic about our favorite scene in the play about where there is lots of animal having a race and a selfish rat comes 1st place. But we can do the comic on our Chromebooks or on paper. I did my comic on paper because I kinda like drawing. But it might be really ugly because I rushed it.

For the 2nd create task we had to choose what animal is used in the culture from where we are from as a symbol. Then we had to write 4 - 5 sentences comparing the Chinese dragon and the animals from your culture. Then the fast finishers had to create a vector drawing about a Chinese dragon.

For the 3rd one we had to Use a color code and color in and complete an agamorgragh about a ox. Because it's the year of the Ox this year.

So then for the 4th create task we have to write our name in Chinese with an website. When we've found our name we had to practice writing our name in Chinese on a piece of paper.

I have not finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th but I have finished the 1st.

  Hey Bloggers!

WALT: Analyse and evaluate the actions and storylines of Maori myths and legends.

This week at school for reading, the whole class including me, we only for 4 book choices. Since it maori language week, all the 4 book choices were like moari or something.

These are the 4 book choices: The creation of night and day, Kupe and the giant wheke (Octopus), How Maui discovered fire and the last one is Rata and the Totara tree. So the book that I chose to read about it Rata and the Totara tree.

The book Rata and the totara tree is about, This guy named Rata found this very tall tree and he started chopping it down. Later when it was chopped down he went to bed or something, The next day he went back to the tree and saw it standing back up, as if he never ever even chopped it down. Then he kept doing the same thing for 1 or 2 more days. Then at night he was watching if if stood back up. Then he saw lots and lots of animal fixing it back up. Then he said what were they doing with his tree, and the animals said its not his tree. The animals said that he didn't ask for permission to cut it down. Then they said that he wouldn't get punished or something because he forgot.

There are 3 reading create tasks,

For create task 1, we had to analyse our story. We had to get this piece of paper thing, And write something in each box. Like who the characters are, Where is was set and stuff.

Here's create task 1:

(I'm sorry if you cant read it)

For create task 2, we had to Evaluate the actions of the characters. So we had to make a copy of a google drawing and give three reasons with evidence to why we agree or disagree.

Here is create task 2!

And for create task 3 we had to make a glossary the Te Reo Kupu we found in our story. And make a copy of a glossary plan. use the moari dictionary for the definition, But we had to make sure we chose the right one using the context passage. The we had to use Animaker, Bitable or Renderforest to create a digital glossary.

I haven't done create task 3 yet, but I hoped you enjoyed it!

Olympic Champion

 Hey Bloggers!

WALT: Locate and summarise important information from a range of related texts.

This week at school we were learning about Olympic champions. There are six books to choose from. Chicken Olympics, Our first Olympians, Game on, The Cindy limpics, born to run and the last one is The ancient romans race again.

The book choice that I chose is The Chicken Olympics. The Chicken Olympics book is about the people helping 3 chickens getting ready for a race ONLY for chickens. At the end all the chickens got a medal. But the 3 chickens ate the medal because it was actually made out of bread.

The first create task you have to a sheet to plan a thing about the Olympic champion we chose and write all the information down that we need. Then when we're done that we have to basically do the same thing on a google drawing. We also have to type in why we chose this person.

The second create task we have to choose a country that is participating at the Olympic games. Then find 20 facts about that country and what events they have entered into for the Olympics games this year. Then we will need to independently find information about a country of your choice. Choose a DLO (Digital learning object) to represent the country that we chose.

(The country that I chose is China.)

Then the last create task which is the third one we have to choose one of the articles on the site. Then we have to answer the question which country is it from? Plan and write a persuasive argument to that country on what they should do on their leftover Olympic area/Olympic village.

Writing the missing numbers and the rule in algebra

Hey Bloggers!

WALT: Explore patterns in sequences of multiples.

Last week and also this in maths we were working on algebra. There are 4 sheets to work on but the 3rd sheet does not exist because its the same as the 2nd one.

All the sheets are patterns because its algebra. But on the 4th sheet we can create our own pattern! But there also has to be a rule. For example, 0, 5, 10 so the rule for this one is adding 5 but there can also be subtracting. 

Heres the pattern that I created:

1,000, _,___, 1,032, 1,048, 1,064, _,___, _,___, 1,112, 1,128, _,___, 

Rule: _______

 

Please type down the rule in the comment!

Bye!!
