Area & Perimeter

Walt: Calculate area and perimeter.


Welcome back to school everybody! Schools back!

Task Description:

This week we are learning to calculate the area and perimeter of different types of shapes. In this presentation we were given the task to complete the following slides. I had a most experience with calculating the area and perimeter of shapes because we learnt how to do this last year. This was very fun as I got to do some other math equations too.

Let's have a good term!

First day of school! Term 2, here we come!

It's the first day back to school so, it's time to get back into the school vibes. Waking up early, charging your chrome book and getting to school on time is all apart of getting back into the school vibes.

As we walk into the big red doors, I see many of my friends running in joy to see me. *JUMP* They jump and give me a massive hug! It feels nice to be back at school. Doing some more learning will bring my brain back to life. Also hanging with my friends will bring me joy!

Walking into the hall, I see on the big screen, "Something in the water!" "He mea e roto wai." Team 5 sits on the red chairs and wait for our immersion assembly to start. Finally, we say the karakia and get on with our day. 

One of my favorite items was Team 4! Team Four's film was fun to watch and had some interesting facts too. It was suitable and enjoyable for all ages. Attempting to get an outstanding view of the Pt England beach but, was interrupted by Mrs. Sio. It seemed a bit cold to go out for a swim, but the Team 4 teachers had no fear. Well, that is after their bodies met the cold water. Wait, then, what eats the seagull?

"In the Gene is the DNA. DNA in the Chromosome. Chromosome in the Nucleus. Nucleus in the Cell." Team 5 teachers presented a song to the school. It was a pretty quick song, but I would love to learn it. How are all living organisms connected? This term for inquiry Team 5 is going to be explaining how all living organisms are connected (Stay tuned for blog posts about how all living organisms connected.)

Overall, my favorite part of immersion assembly was, getting the opportunity to try different types of seafood. Mr. Burt and the prefects didn't have any stickers to give out so, they improvised and gave out (Not your everyday) seafood.

Schools back in business! We know how Immersion Assembly works right? Well, that's what we had today. All fun things and yummy food met together and provided us with an amazing day back to school! Let's have a good term Team 5 and Pt England school!

DLO 2019 Term 2 (Continents!)

In this post, this is my animation for term 2. I used the site scratch. I used different codes to make this. We had to include the 7 continents and also had to choose 3 out of the 7 to talk about. This was very fun to make and so I hope you enjoy!

Room 3 Cyber smart

Walt: We are learning how to be cyber smart.


Task Description:

In this presentation we had the task of writing a reply to Whaea Kelly, our teacher. She wanted us to find some solutions for the people who keep forgetting to file their work in the correct folders. Our reply had to be formal, had to have correct punctuation, good vocab and good structure. Have a look at my reply in the next slide.

Orientation Course!

Today the year 7&8 Extension group did an orienteering course, but first we had to learn how to use a compass.

During Extension we were told, we were going to be taught how to use a compass. The time came and Mr Jacobson walked in with a box of compasses. He taught us how to use it and what some of the things on the compass were and what they were used for.

After we got sent off to the course. I was paired up with Eden. Once we got sent off to our orienteering point we decided to start. We looked at the letter then wrote it on our paper. We then looked at the numbers and made our compass face in the direction we thought was right! We walked as our shoes got wet :( We made it to our next destination and did the same thing over and over again, until we cracked the code.

Well done us! We've solved the code!

Have a close look, "Well done us." Ah ha! That's it that was the code we needed to crack. We all had an amazing and fun time thanks to Mr Jacobson for making this possible!

Facile Fractions!

WALT: We are learning to find fractions of a whole and set


Task Description:

In this presentation we had to finish the following slides. We are now learning about fractions. As always we had the option of finishing three slides and getting that up onto our blogs. Check out my work in the following slides. In this following slides I have made sure to present my awnser and how I got my awnser. Is there a different way you would solve the questions in the following slides?

Tantalizing Transformations!

Walt: Transform shapes using reflection, rotation and translation.


Task Description:

In this presentation we had to finish the following slides ahead. The slide that we had to finish included Rotation, Symmetry, Reflection and enlargement. I found that this slide was easy and hard at the same time but, I really enjoyed doing this week's math work! Check them out in the following slides!
