Christmas All Around The World

 HELLO! Everyone,

Christmas is coming soon so here is an activity related to Christmas. Yesterday our teacher was out so we had another teacher come in and her name is Ms Coleman and while we were with her, we were given some work to do. Christmas All around the world was one of the work we had to do. It was about learning what other countries do for Christmas. Christmas is one of those seasons to celebrate with family and friends and pets so there was 11 countries I had to choose from and I chose Spain. From what I heard Spain is a really nice and beautiful country. 

I hope to also go there and celebrate Christmas there too because when I was doing some research I found some awesome things about Spain. About how they celebrate it and what they do to lift the Christmas spirit up. For the activity, we make a DLO about the country we chose and what they do for Christmas.

Here is the DLO I made:

Real News - Fake News

 Kia Ora Everyone, as you all know from my last post. I have said a few things about Media and what it is. A quick preview, media is something people create that is filled with information like news articles, build boards and all kinds of sorts. This time it is about Fake news. We were introduced to some videos and new information about fake news and how to spot them. There were some things we had to go through before doing the activity we were given to do like how to spot fake news by looking at the URL (web address.).

Another way to spot fake news is by digging deeper into the site and see if anything you feel anything weird. The activity was to try and make our own site that has fake news and that will still entertain people. Here is what I made:

Constructing Media

 Hey everyone,

I know it has been quite long since I have posted and I hope to keep up on things so that I get to post more. Today I am going to tell and show you about what we were doing for cybersmart. We were looking at What is Media. As a class we watched some videos and never really got to do the activities but in the beginning of this week we started to look at constructing media. We watched more videos about it and some information which was about advertisement and got to make one for ourselves. 

For one of the activities, it was to make a newspaper article about an event that happened at school. The majority of us made a newspaper article about camp which happened two weeks ago and lots of us had a very fun time. I actually got ideas from some other students who presented the same thing in senior assembly and it was really cool. I tried making my newspaper article very cool too and this is what I made myself:

Hope you like how I detailed it quite deep and that you enjoy reading it!!

Ordering Decimals

 Hey guys,

Today I will be posting my Math DLO that I have made to teach others about a strategy that I have learnt which is ordering decimals. For this activity we are also trying to be creative and also did another book creator for my DLO. Our teacher was actually creative enough and made a really fun and amusing slideshow and used links and pictures to make it amusing for us to look through and the links leaded to games, information about strategies and more. 

Some of us even tried to do what our teacher did and I'm sure they did an amazing job. Book Creators are really fun and great to use. I really recommend this app to you and hope you would use it in the future.

Maori Language Week

 Hello guys,

Last week was Maori Language week and today I managed to complete my Maori language week activity and post it to my blog. For this activity we looked through some new tools we could use to be more creative with our DLO's. After, they were some slides we could choose through to make a DLO about. The slides were about Maori colors, Maori alphabet and etc). I choose to do Maori Greetings on my one and chose to be creative and made it into a story using Book Creator. Book Creator is a an app where you can make comic books or just books. 

The Seven Sacraments

 Hey guys, 

This week is the last week of this term. We are trying to finish some of our work from this term and try and finish them by the end of this week. Today I completed my Sacraments work from R.E. It is about the Seven Sacraments and each Sacrament is either a Sacrament of Initiation, Sacrament of Healing and Sacrament of Commitment. They were videos and information for us to read and watch to remind our selves of what the Seven Sacraments were and for this activity, I actually learned that they're was a Sacrament of Initiation and etc). 

This week we also tried to be more creative with our DLO's and our work and the majority of us is very creative with our work. For the activity, the first thing we had to do was create a DLO of the Sacraments of the Initiation. The second one was to create a poster or picture that explains the Grace we receive through the Sacrament of Healing. Then the last one was to either make a Newspaper article about how they carry out the responsibility for the Church and their demonstration on being a leader.

Here is the DLO that I made;

Here is the poster I created and added links under;

Here are some links to some information about the Sacraments of Healing. 

Here is the news article I made using newspaper generator.;

Hoped you enjoyed it!

Uru Manuka Student Summit 2020

Hello guys, 

Today our class and Room 5 were busy nearly all morning because we were joining these hangouts about different toolkits. They were 4 sessions/hangouts we joined in different hours and learnt different tool and skills to use in the future. Yesterday we actually had to fill in a form on what which hangouts we would like to join/learn on each sessions.

One of the session I joined was very amusing because people were very nice and explained it very well so i think they did an awesome job. After every session we would have to fill this form in about if we enjoyed it and what we like about it.

About my other sessions they were very fun and amusing too because some of them really taught me new things but some were talking kinda fast and some people in the hangout also tried their best to keep up on what they person who was representing was saying.
