This week for maths we have been focusing on 3D shapes. We were making a city using 3d shape nets, cutting them out and glueing them to a a3 piece of paper. My group (me, Leah and Brenna ) were going for a pink and purple theme, we definitely succeeded in our goal.
Over all if I did it again I would have planned it out better first, Here´s a picture
Do you like 3d shapes?

Yesterday we did a google meet with 2 students from Putahi Belfast school and a lot of other schools in the district they were there to teach us how to do a canva animation step by step. They were year 5/6 students Piper and Poppy.
I made one with a dinosaur on a beach, it was a lot of fun to do.
Do you know how to do a canva animation?

In the afternoon we have been doing some art, the art we have been doing is graffiti. I used the graffiti generator to do my name and see what style I liked the best. I chose a block letter one that is kind of on an angle. Once we have coloured that we have to do a pop art background to add some detail. I’m not done but I can’t wait to continue it.

For weeks now we have been reading the book Hatchet and doing activities on the chapter. We finished the book and started watching the movie about it. It is really similar but there are some differences that are noticeable like in the book he didn’t have a dog but he does in the movie.
I think the actor of Brian had a hard time carrying the movie because when he was in the forest it was just him. Over all I think the book & movie of Hatchet are really interesting to read and watch.
Have you seen hatchet?

At the beginning of this term we pick 4 books that we were interested in and at the end of the term we got 2 of them. I got two thriller like books called ” Scream ” about a deadly spider and that it might not be just a camp story. Also ” Identkill ” about two twins one dead and one alive and the dead one gets jealous of the other one.
I am so grateful for the books we get.
Have you read any of these books?

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to paint a fish to stick on a mural next to coop lands and Alice in Puter land.
It was a lot of fun designing what to put on it, mine had a sunset over the beach. Make sure to look out for my fish!!

This week we have been focusing on taking risks. There is a difference, we have been learning about taking risks in a safe way so we made posters to show some examples and to encourage people to take safe risks.
We also had to mark our work on a rubric, I’m mostly good witch is not the best but not the worst.
Remember if you never take risks you will never learn.
Do you take risks?

We started doing this site called money time. It teaches kids all about banking and how to manage money. You can spend to upgrade your avatar or you can invest in property and knowledge. Your teacher unlocks the next module and you do it then do a follow up quiz all about the module, the modules are all about things like for example ‘Pay and Tax.”
You have an everyday account and a savings. Every module and quiz you do depending on how upgraded your knowledge is you get a certain amount of money that goes straight into your everyday account but you can transfer money between accounts.
Here is what your dashboard looks like.
Have you ever done Money time?
