12 days of kiwi christmas

We are closing up our year with some christmasy stuff and are now kind of cruising through the rest of the year. our first christmas activity was based on the classic christmas song "on the first day of christmas my true love gave to me". we turned this into a kiwi version.

It was easy to get our basic idea of what we would put on our presentation because we all know what we thought was cool about christmas. to challenge myself next time I can do more detailed more explanatory sentences.

It was difficult to finish in time because our group was quite big and was a bit hard to communicate. to make it easier I will work more cooperatively.

Enjoy.

Cybersmart Review

This is our Co-operative work we have been learning and working on for the past two or so weeks. This was all about a reflection or a review of our crazy mixed 2020 year of Cybersmart. This year in Cybersmart we have been learning about so many tools and skills and even some mindset work when we are learning!
Some of my favourite things that I've learned to do include Scratch, Google slides and The other things included in our slide below.

Some of the things that have been the most challenging are working together as a group while making a video of what we have learned throughout the year. To make this better for me next time I will make a clear plan of what we are saying work more cooperatively with my pairs.    

When we made our review, I was thinking about how much we had learned throughout the year and how amazing our teacher Mrs. Williams is!

Enjoy!

Summer Learning Journey

 We were told about a Summer Learning Journey and A summer program to help learning during summer so your learning does not slump.

It was easy to paint the version of the piece of art (I forgot the name) I chose because the you can colour in big section all the same colour very quickly. To challenge myself next time I will colour the art work in with more detail.

It was difficult to try and replicate the piece of art I chose to copy, the reason for this was because I had to go back and forth between the original and my copy to make it the same. To make it easier next time I can choose an easier picture to replicate.

 By the way, Here's the link for the website:  https://artsandculture.google.com/experiment/art-coloring-book/1QGsh6vSfAQBgQ?hl=en

Christmas!

Scratch, Just more scratch.
I love Christmas so much that I even made a scratch game about it!
The main learning for this was writing a descriptive letter of why we love christmas and then get creative, this is the creative part.

 It was easy to make the basic function of the backgrounds because I used Scratch's premade backgrounds. To challenge myself next time I can make the rabbit say different things every time the background changes. 

it was really hard to create the animation of the Rabbit moving because he had to sit down when he was moving and when he was facing another direction he had to change costume. To make this easier to do next time i can make a more simple version of the running. 

Next time I will finish in the time given because it was a scratch game and I take ages to make games on scratch.

Fireworks!

A few nights ago I could not sleep, the reason being was... Fireworks!
In the past week Fireworks were set of to celebrate Guy Fawkes. Our mission today was to write a creative acrostic poems to describe the fireworks.

It was easy to make the background look pretty because, that's just what I do. to challenge myself next time I can adjust how busy it is because currently its a bit to busy and focuses on the background too much.

It was difficult to complete my challenge I set myself before hand which was making the poem rhyme. I really enjoyed this challenge and think that it improved my writing.

My next steps are to add more detailed descriptive words that still rhyme/relate to the other sentences.

Enjoy!

More (Real) Postcards

 We had continued to focus on phishing and fake news online. I traveled to Los Angeles to have the best time of my life. This was a very fun activity and I think it is a good way of teaching the students what is real or what is fake.

It was Easy to do my picture because It was quite plain. This was still fun and I learned lots from this activity. to challenge myself I will add a more detailed creative DLO.

It was definitely tricky to write fake facts about what we did. I think that i can make this easier by thinking of what I want to do inthe future when I (hopefully) travel the world.

Next time I will finish Work much much faster because I had to use up 1 and a half lessons to finish.

Real postcard (not clickbait!)

 I learnt that click bait things happen more then you think! In 2017 10 million dollars was lost through scams and a year later 33 million dollars was lost! another thing I learnt was that 48% of the scams were done to people over 65 years old!

For our DLO we made a Fa-Real postcard of us in a place of our choice.
It was quite easy to remove the background, so to challenge myself next time I will add more images with removed background to make my surroundings look real.

It was difficult to finish on time because I got so stuck into my work I lost track of time! To improve on this I can check time regularly to make sure I finish on time.
