Pixel Art and Brain Teaser!

 Hi Readers!

Pixel Art

Today for Maths we had to do a pixel art activity on google forms. 

It was made very cleverly so that if you type the right answer into the blue box it adds more pixels every time you get the right answer. 

Eventually it makes a surprise picture here is the link if you want to do it.

Brain Teaser

Today in Maths we did a Brain teaser.

It involved Bananas, Apples and Coconuts. 

The problem was: 

🍎+🍎+🍎= 30 

🍎+🍌+🍌= 18

🍌-🥥= 2

🍎+🍌+🥥= ?

So basically we had to figure out what each fruit equalled. 

I figured out that 3 tens are 30 so 🍎 is 10

2 4s' are 8. 8 plus 10 is 18. So 🍌 is 4.

And 4 takeaway 2 is 2 so is 🥥 is 2. 

10+4+2=16

Here is my work:

Bye Readers,

See You next time!

The hardest part was thinking of the four word phrase.

Tectonic Plates and Volcanoes

Tectonic Plates

For the first 2 weeks of this term we have been learning about Tectonic Plates and Volcanoes which is under the topic of planet Earth and Beyond. We have been doing lessons in homerooms.

I think it was fun learning about Tectonic Plates and about how mountains are created. It was challenging learning about all the fault lines. 

Have you ever learnt about Tectonic Plates?

Sorry it's a short post today there wasn't much to write, most of the information is in my DLO. 

Bye!

Song Writing

 Hey Readers!

Last term we wrote songs with Mr. McIntyre. Although he isn't at our school

anymore, he had to leave at the end of last term.

We had to write:

 A chorus

At Least 2 verses 

and a

Title

It was challenging thinking of a topic and the chorus.

I enjoyed using the Kandinsky Circles in chrome music lab to create my song.

It was a challenging to find a quiet place to record.

I wrote my song about Christchurch. I don't think it turned out very well

BUT

I had loads of help and I appreciate it! (Thank you Mrs.North 😉!)

I think that the best bit is the 1st verse:

Here in Christchurch we have the lot:

A crazy bunch, we are top.

Attractions, buskers, sports and schools.

Christchurch is great, we’re so cool

The bit that could be improved on the most is the chorus:

We have the lot.

We have the plot. 

We have the lot.

Give it a shot.

We are top.

We will give you a shock.

I couldn't think of a title so its kinda weird uhh yeah its Christchurch is Good

I know, waay too simple.

Oh, Well.

Here is the full lyrics to my song:

🇳🇿 Christchurch is good 🇳🇿

Verse 1:

Here in Christchurch we have the lot:

A crazy bunch, we are top.

Attractions, buskers, sports and schools.

Christchurch is great, we’re so cool.

Verse 2:

Here in Christchurch we have the lot:

From zoo’s to awesome gelato spots.

our rivers will make you quiver our people will too.

Here in Christchurch we welcome you.

Chorus:

We have the lot.

We have the plot. 

We have the lot.

Give it a shot.

We are top.

We will give you a shock.

so this wasn't recent!

Anyway,

Bye!

 

Flaticon the Awesome New Tool!

 Hey Readers!

In cybersmart we had to work through a google slideshow that has activities about blog posts. It was really fun although it took a while because there were 15 slides! At the end we had to make a comic in google drawings and we had to make our characters images from flaticon. Our comic was about a 

learning blog.

My DLO (Digital Learning Object) today will be my comic. Here it is:

I enjoyed finding the characters and deciding the layout of my comic.

It was challenging fitting the speech into the speech bubbles.

Do you like making comics?

Maths Statistics

 Hey Readers!

So far this term we have been doing strand maths. We had to think of a question to do a statistical investigation about. My question was favourite places in Miss McLeod's homeroom. We had to make a plan and record answers from people in a tally chart. 

My options were:

。Beach

。Home

。School

。Library

。Restaurant

。Other

I noticed that Home was peoples favourite place and school was peoples least favourite place.

My Favourite part was deciding in my question although it was tricky thinking of options. Once we had made a tally of our data and then put it into a bar graph we had to put it into 2 different graphs on a google spreadsheet.

Here are my graphs:

Bye!
