Distance Learning Day 5

G'day bloggers

Today's home learning has involved more numeracy tasks with circles.

 For literacy we had to create a "Mad Scientist" and write some ideas of his feelings and thoughts of how he sees the world.

We also had to work on creating a sundial this was quite tricky and is still a work in progress as I am measuring the sun shadow each hour to work out the times

Here is the drawing of my scientist.

that is all from me

Distance Learning Day 4

G'day bloggers ...

Today I have completed another scratch with dialogue for literacy.

For numeracy, we focused on the different parts of circles. I had to create a circle artwork and also an animation showing the parts of circles. here is the link to my animation and a photo of my circle artwork.

Distance learning day 3

G'day Bloggers, 

Today I have completed my numeracy and literacy tasks. I will be talking about my numeracy tasks.

For numeracy today we had to complete four measurement and estimation tasks. The first task was to make a paper plane and estimate how far it had flown and then measure to see the actual distance. 

The second task was to see how high you could jump from a standstill then estimate how high  I jumped before measuring to find out the actual measurement. 

Task three was to see how far I could jump from a standing position then estimate how far I thought I jumped before measuring to get the actual distance. 

Task four was to see how high I could jump while trying to reach as high as I can before following the same steps as above estimating how I high I got and get then finally the actual measurement.

Here are some photos of me completing the tasks...

Have a great weekend!

distance learning day 2

G'day bloggers, I am back with another blog post.

 Today I have completed my numeracy and literacy tasks.

For literacy today we had to think of our favorite book, tv show, fairy tale, or movie and answer some questions regarding the theme or topic of the story and also create a poster.

The book I chose was Billionaire Boy by David Walliams. The idea of this book follows Joe Spud who is the richest kid in England and has everything he could ever want except a real friend.

Joe goes to a really expensive private school where people know how rich he is and only wants to be friends with him for his money. He decides to leave and go to a public school where he doesn’t tell anyone he is rich so he can try to make a true friend.

This book tries to remind us that money doesn’t always make you happy and friendship is more important than money.

My favorite part of numeracy today was when I went outside and measured the perimeter of my front yard.here is the picture I drew to show my working

that is me done until tomorrow

distance learning day 1

Kia ora bloggers, today was my first day of distance learning. 

Today I have made my daily schedule and completed some numeracy tasks.

For numeracy this term we are focusing on measurement. Today's tasks were to estimate how long a metre is. To do this I placed a pen on my starting point and then took one step guessing how long a metre may be.

Task two was to figure out how many minions and hand sanitizers could fit in your 2-metre social distance gap you can have five minions and 11 hand sanitizers could fit in the gap.

Task three was to find a couple items from around the house and see how many of them you could fit in the 2-metre social distancing gap I decided to measure my RC car and my Chromebook.


Finally, I did my daily schedule
