My Speech Reflection

 Kai ora bloggers and welcome back to my blog over the past two weeks we have had to write a speech present it and then write a reflection on our speech. I wrote and presented my speech about things that are going extinct. what did I do well? I think that I had a good hook and engaged with the audience and then went into explaining some points that would go into be spoken about. I am really proud of the way I did my conclusion. My conclusion: in conclusion in 2071 I still want to eat chocolate not so much bananas drink coffee energy drinks and Coca-Cola and see our native bird the Kiwi playing around and the forest. what could I improve on? next time I think that I could have looked up at the audience more and spoken more clearly.

Colourless Coral

 

kai ora bloggers and welcome back to my blog. Last term for Inquiry we had to make a wearable arts costume based on problems that are happening to the world such as pollution, climate change, coral bleaching, over fishing and more. We decided to do coral bleaching because we can make our costume colourful and use dark colours at the same time, we chose this idea as we thought it was a major problem for sea life because fish and other sea animals don't have any homes, this is caused by climate change as the sun is making the water hotter, chemicals in sunscreen and more. As you can see in the photos we have a head band with a sun on it to represent the water getting then we have a t-shirt with colourful Coral and seaweed on it, there are two skirts, the first one is made of streamers that are tied onto a belt and the on the second skirt is made out of a black rubbish bag with white fabric shaped as coral and there is rubbish and sunscreen bottles floating in the water. Do you use Coral safe sunscreen?

My wee kiwi

Kai ora bloggers and welcome back to my blog. This week on Tuesday two artists came to our hub and we did some art with them.

 Kia ora bloggers and welcome back to my blog if you didn't know at school we have been working on a production called Aladdin and we have been working on it for two terms!

The beeping bee bot

 Kia ora bloggers and welcome back to my blog,

For numeracy last week we have been looking at compass directions. We have worked on reading maps using the 8 main directions - North, South, East, west, North-East, South-East, North-West, and South-West and then we moved onto using Beebots and our knowledge of compass directions to get a Beebot through the grid to various locations. We had to program the Beebot with our own algorithm, using forwards, backward, turn right, turn left and N, S, E, W.  It was important that we regularly tested our algorithm to check we didn’t need to de-bug (find a problem and fix it). Here is an example of my algorithm: Forwards 2 squares, turn south, go forwards 2 squares, turn west, go forwards 2 squares. Have you ever had to use a compass for something?

 

The egg drop

 

Kai ora bloggers and welcome back to my blog. last Wednesday for science we had to drop an egg from the top of the stairs in our classroom but we had to try not to let the egg crack with 8 materials and they were three pieces of paper one small thick piece of paper 1 meter of string and two big pieces of paper. I didn't quite finish my slide and I couldn't get the video of the egg dropping on the slide I either.

Brookes angles robot

 

Kai ora bloggers and welcome back to my blog. This Thursday in Mrs.O maths class we had to make a robot with at least eight angels and we had to have an obtuse angel, acute angel and a reflex angel in our robot.  

Awesome Angles

Kia ora bloggers, For numeracy today, we have started to learn about angles. We learned about 3 different angles today - acute (less than 90°), right angle (90°), and obtuse (larger than 90° but smaller than 180°).  We also learned how to use a protractor to measure angles.  We know that we need to measure an angle from a vertice (a corner where two straight lines meet). For our create task, we had to measure three different angles on the first letter of our name - can you figure out if they are acute, right angle, or obtuse?
