Cooper's Beach Christian Camp

W.A.L.T. create a slideshow about Cooper's Beach Christian Camp with language features, poetry and much more.

Flower and Pet Show

We had a fantastic Pet Show Day last Friday. Throughout the week we had planned creative articles to create such as sand saucers, vaseline saucers, aqua jars, wild flower and grasses decorations and hunting out some unusual containers to arrange flowers in. Beforehand some of us had produced some some needlework by making oven cloths. On Thursday we made gingerbread men and we decorated them with a variety of edible goodies. Some of us also made some amazing tasty truffles.
              

Gala Video

W.A.L.T. create a video using trailer on our i-pad. We had to ensure that we spelt all our words correctly the first time as it is tricky and time wasting to correct them. We had some of our photos deleted about our Gala day which was really disappointing but any way our creative learning was more about the process rather than the final product. The most important thing was that our class learnt so much about creating products to sell for profit at our Gala. We made $670 which was FANTASTIC for our camp to Cooper's Beach later in the month.



         

Australian Animals

W.A.L.T. use Book Creator to retell my adventures in Australia and the animals that I saw. I learnt to insert images and use panels in my pages. Next time I know how to use the programme much quicker.

Fun World 

 On Monday in Australia Dad, Mum, Jayden and I were in the car driving to Dreamworld to have some fun on some rides.
 When we got there Tembo, Tasha and I went to do the hot wheels sidewinder. Tembo and I went in the first car at the back seat of the car. After the ride finished we went again after we finished our second turn. We went on the claw and went nine storeys high.
 Next we walked to the giant drop and dropped so, so, so fast. afterwards we went to Madagascar Madness and did Pandamonium and did fast and right round. Thereafter we went to the dreamworld sign to meet with everyone else. 
 We waited for Jayden and Dad to come we saw them come and Jayden had a Koala face paint. Then I went off with Mum to do hot wheels sidewinder, the claw and Pandemonium. It was the best holiday ever my favourite ride was hot wheels sidewinder.

I Go

On Monday we all wrote a reader with our buddies. We had a list of the words that they could read and learnt about the structure of the text they are able to read.  We both had fun together inserting images to support our younger buddies reading, as we do not need pictures now to help us read our novels. Our buddies loved their stories choosing them to their normal home readers. It is amazing how much we have learnt to read in three years.

Amazing Alphabetical Alliteration Makes Real Relationships Rule

Today we had the opportunity to add a voice,  using Screencastify  to our google slide called Amazing Alphabetical Alliteration Makes Real Relationships Rule. In the future I'm going to use Screencastify for my slides and docs.

 

Cross Country Goals

I.A.L.T do a green screen . My goal is start slow and bring my pace up. This year I want to come second place because last year I came fourth. To come second place I 'm going to ask my mum to take me to Bledisloe to do a few laps .

 Mrs G talked to us about how it works. So you have a green background and you choose a video and it plays when you press a light red button. Then it has a count down from five and some times if it's fuzzy so you might need to step back or forward to make it clear.
 

My Learning Map

W.A.L.T. create a digital map using lucid charts. How I learned is changed since the beginning of the year as we are working more collaboratively now.

Amazing Alphabetical Alliteration Makes Real Relationships Rule

W.A.L.T. write an alliteration describing a relationship between two creatures. We used a shared Google Doc to write our alliteration. In a shared Google Slide we had to add a background then inserted png images of the critters.

Choco and M and M Ice cream

This week for reading our group (Kaitlin, Nevaeh and Zara) read a story about Joy Cowley who lives in an isolated area Seventy kilometres away from ice cream. Ice cream is one of her favourite treats so she has to make her own. We followed her recipe but chose to change the kiwi fruit for Chocolate and banana M and M's. Next time we will not add as many chips and M and M's and we'll make a triple batch so the whole class can have a taste.

            

How Long Does It Take To:

Fractions Wall

W.A.L.T. to make a fractions wall. First we had to cut twelve pieces of paper the same length.  First we glued one whole strip, then we folded another strip in 1/2 before cutting it in half and gluing it on our wall. We repeated this process in 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12ths. We saw patterns when we cut 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/12. We saw another pattern when we cut 1/3, 1/6 and  1/9.  We saw another pattern with 1/5 and 1/10. The hard bit was trying to do a 1/7 and 1/11 but we didn't because it was too hard and their not even.

I created a DLO that shares my ideas about the learning: eg, a video, diagram, infographic etc	Reflected on my learning: My post has my new ideas and what I enjoyed or found really difficult I’ve shared what I think my next steps are, what I’d like to know more about, and what I might do differently next time
Impact	I have explained the learning I did Most of my ideas can be seen I included a photo, image or screenshot	My title is unique or catchy My DLO is my own creation, makes sense and adds more information My post may include embedded html content e.g. collage, video, Google Slide, animation etc	My post shows WHO I AM as a learner and is unique to me. My information and ideas help my audience to understand the learning, [and there’s a link to this activity to my class learning site] For my DLO, I (or my group) made all of the learning being shown from scratch
Punctuation	Some of my spelling and punctuation is not right My post might be hard for the reader to understand	I have checked my punctuation and spelling I have asked a buddy to read my post, made corrections and I cannot see any mistakes	I’m confident all my spelling and punctuation is correct and it makes sense for my readers, they will be able to read it easily
Layout	My font sizes and colour may be different and need making the same My images or embedded content might not fit properly I may not have used labels or a title on my learning blog post.	I previewed layout to see how my post would look and changed it where I needed to Font size and colour match I’ve used a title & labels   If I’ve used other people’s work or thinking I have shown the source or attributed it to them	Media/html content is checked e.g. size, position, and appears when post loads My labels and title are specific to the learning & help people searching my blog I am beginning to use scheduling for publishing so my posts don’t all come at once

  All the Students in Te Moana have recently begun their own blogs. They are all at the beginner blog stage now but we are all setting our goals to become Smart Bloggers by the end of the year. Please check our blogs all the time to check how we are learning to improve.
