Math angles

W.A.L.T create a blog post explaining what I did this week

For maths this term we are learning about angles. This week we have done multiple maths sheet equations, so I thought I'd share with you what I have done. Last year I learnt a bit about angles which made figuring out angles a lot more better .Here is my work sheet:

Reflection:

Doing this maths sheet was easy. I just had to basically do addition, and at the top of the work sheet, it said what the angle was called.

What did I enjoy?

I enjoyed working out what the answer is. It was simple to work out so I could do this maths sheet pretty fast.

What did I find interesting?

What I found interesting was finding out that a triangle could be an angles, specifically a 180 degree angle was a triangle.

Do you know how to measure angles or do you need to use a protractor?

Writing task

W.A.L.T create a blog post explaining our writing task for today.

For writing today, we had to write a descriptive writing. First we had to plan the object we were doing, by writing the 5 senses (Tastes, smells, looks, sounds, feels) then write a descriptive writing for out object. I decided to do a mouse, cause I thought it would be fun to fill out the plan. Here is my plan:

What did I do well?

I did well on writing the senses, I came up with words to write pretty quickly.

What could I improve on?

I think I could've done more descriptive and better adjective words.

How will I use this in my writing?

I will use by adding these senses into my writing to make it a 'descriptive writing. Example: "A mouse is feels soft and smooth"

Reflection on what I enjoyed:

I enjoyed thinking of words to write down, I could write whatever I wanted and be creative. My favourite senses to write about was 'looks'. I could I imagine a cute mouse and then write everything what it looked like. I am very excited to write my descriptive writing!

What animal would've you written?

Matariki Stars

W.A.L.T create a blog post explaining art we did last week.

For Art last week, we had to create a Matariki star to represent the Matariki stars (Seven sisters). 

Here is my Matariki star:

Here's how we created it:

1. Using A3 paper, trace 2 small stars, and two big stars.

2. Draw some Moari patterns on the stars.

3. Colour the stars using felts, pastels, or pencils.

4. Glue your 4 stars together and then glue the whole star onto a black paper.

4. With the black paper, trace around the star using a pencil, creating a black border around it.

5. Cut around the star with the black paper.

Reflection on what I enjoyed.

I enjoyed drawing and designing the Moari patterns, then colouring in the design. I enjoyed this because it was oddly satisfying and I could be creative.

My favourite part was colouring in, though it took the longest, it was still really fun.

I think I could definitely improve on the border, it was uneven and wasn't cut that well.

Have you ever done Matariki art?

Ice sheets and shelves

W.A.L.T create a blog post about a task we have done this week.

For reading this week I had to read a book called "Captured in Ice" and then create a google drawing of the different layers of Ice. In the book it showed the different layers and sheets of snow so I just got inspiration from that. We then had to name how deep the Ice goes and write facts about the ice. 

Here is my google drawing:

I enjoyed making the different layers of ice, it was really fun making the gradient and how it gets darker and darker. I also enjoyed showing you how many metres down the ice is.

What I didn't enjoy was moving everything around so it looks nice, it took a while and was kinda boring and I had to switch everything around.

I feel like I could improve on decorating the google drawing more, it looks a bit bland and boring.

What do you like about my google drawing? What do you find interesting?

Kiwi Can

W.A.L.T create a blog post explaining what you did today at Kiwi Can

At school today we went to Kiwi Can. This term we are learning about Resilience and Perseverance. The catchphrase today was "When times get tough, we don't despair, we bounce back up and persevere." 

The game we played today was Octopus. This was my favourite game cause I love the game Octopus!  

How we played:

You have to have a big group of people to be able to play. 2 people in your group have to be the taggers.

Everyone else except the taggers have to line up on a wall or line up somewhere else. You can do it in a field, a big room, etc. You just need somewhere that has a big enough space to run. Once everyone is lined up, the tagger then has to call out something. Example: "If you're wearing blue", Then everyone wearing blue has to run to the other side of the field or room.  While the people are running, the taggers then have to try tag everyone running. If they tag someone, the person that got tagged has to then stand still, they're not allowed to move unless its gang-up, but we didn't do gang-up. Also, if someone got tagged, they are helping the taggers tag people. The game keeps on repeating like before till there is one last runner. Then that last runner is the winner!

Have you played octopus? What is your favourite game?

Art

W.A.L.T upload a piece of art and then blog about it.

For blogging today we had to upload a photo of a drawing/painting we have done in the past year. Here is my art work:

Instructions:

First I drew the shape of the eye

Added a pupil and the inside of the eye

Added eye-lashes

Shaded the eye

I would've added a eye brow but I haven't finished yet.

What I think I did well was drawing the actual eye. It was easy to do and I got inspiration from a image on google.
I think I could improve on shading. Shading isn't my best spot when it comes to drawing. So I definitely could improve on that.

I enjoyed the whole process of making this. I didn't dislike anything when making this drawing.

Do you like the drawing? What do you think I could do better? 

Kiwi Can

W.A.L.T create a blog post explaining what we did today at school.

At school today we had Kiwi can for the first time in a while. 

I wasn't there for most of it cause I had a quiz to do but when we got there, my class was playing a game. How to play the game:

There are two lines of people. If you're the first person up you have to balance a soft ball on top your hand and try to walk to the next line of people without the ball falling off your hand.

Once you get to the end of the line you have to pass the ball to the person at the front and they have to do the same thing just did. It keeps on going on until the game is over. You can count points of how much people did it without the ball falling but out class didn't count points.

Do you have Kiwi can at your school? Do you wanna play this game?
