Film Making

WALT- Make a film
 

Literacy Series

WALT - WALT think critically about a range of texts by summarising and evaluating new information.

Reflection -

I did this activity with a buddie and my buddie was Emma.

We did this activity for two weeks.

At the start of most of the subjects it was a bit boring 

but the when I just got into it and did my work it wasn't as bad.

My favourite subject was the solar system slides.

Because I really like the solar system, 

and that’s something that I'm very intrastate in.

Along with this slide we made a dream catcher, 

and we are still making it and I hope it turns out nice.

Team Building Experiment - Shaie

WALT - Make connections between the human skeletal system and our science experiment.

Ingredients -

A jar or container.

One egg/or how ever many eggs you want to do.

Enough vinegar to fill the jar to the top.

Steps -

First we got into groups,

Next we got a jar and put our names on it.

Then we put a normal egg into the jar, and filled the jar up with vinegar until the egg was fully covered and put the lid on.

Then we put the jar on the window still and waited for four days.

And when the four days had past we took the egg out and washed it under running water.

Then we tested out the egg and dropped it for a very small distances.

Sadly all off the groups eggs didn't work, and they all just split open.

And there was the egg white and yoke on the ground and there was this weird skin next to it and that was what the
egg was in.

Waiting and watching -

As it sat for four days I notice that the outer layer of the egg shell peeled off and the egg changed color.

Reflection -

To be honest it was kind of boring but I was excited to see if it would work.

sadly it didn't for us. So that was a disappointment.

Maybe I would have left it in for only a little bit more for my egg but for the others
a little bit less like a day or something.

Team biulding - Shaie

WALT - Show our school values during team building

Reflection-

In my group was Manaia and Rachna.

This was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot.

We made a plane first then made the plane real.

We all worked together to make a marshmallow and skewer catapult.

The values we showed in this activity were Respect, kindness, equity and resilians.

We were laughing the whole time.

Team Building - Shaie

WALT - Show our school values during team building.

Reflection -

My buddies were Richie, Jaspa, and Kauri.It was fun, and cool to try.

The whole time we were laughing and it was a great team building activity.

But I wasn't a very good help.

I used too much force when it came to connecting the tiny marshmallow to the tooth picks.

So I ended up just giving the tooth picks to Richie so he could put them in carefully.

I think that you definitely need to get a plan before you start working on the structure, it helped a lot with us, because we all knew what we were doing.

The values we used where kindness, respect, equity, and resilians.

I learned that it's hard to get it to stand up by itself and that you need to be careful.

I would love to do this again and you should definitely try it.

My Body - Shaie

WALT-
Think critically about texts and respond accordingly
Reflection-
I really enjoyed doing this activity. My favourite part of this learning was definitely the narrative story writing. I was very fun to make up, and I it cool because I see this happening in real life. I learned a lot of new thing and I’m glad I did.
I'm really happy with myself for getting it done.

A Quality Blog Comment - Shaie

A Quality Comment

WALT - Write a quality blog comment, so we can start a conversation in the comment section with other bloggers.

Reflection-

I really liked doing this with Miss Yates for our cyber smart project.

Next time I could try to make it easier to read the words that I have written.

Enlarging cartoon characters

WALT- Enlarge cartoon characters by 2.5 cm for our math activity this week

Reflection-I found this activity so fun, it was a great challenge I would love to do it again.
I was hard at first but then I got the hang of it, it was nice that Miss van der Voort let us
choose our own character.I know that I will do this again (properly after I’ve finished writing this)
There are no negatives that I have to say about this work because I loved doing it so much.

Careers presentation

WALT- Research and learn about a career we would like to become in a future

Reflection-

I really enjoyed doing this, because I was researching about something I like.

It was interesting to find out new things about singing, so I can
be more successful in the future.

I was impressed that the chances of getting the
job was poor, and that the pay wasn’t every high.

Google Docs Ninja Challenge

WALT- Embed  our work that we do on google docs to blogger.

WALT-  Find out easier ways to do stuff on google docs

Reflection- I really like finding out ways to do stuff on google docs. I think it was good that we did this because I know that what I will use these shortcuts and it will save me sometime using them. I would love to do this again

Thank You Slide

WALT - Post a interactive slide on Blogger, and use google slides to say thank you.

Refetion -

I think I could've used more photos that I took on my mum phone, but I forgot to send them to my school email.

I think it would have been cooler if he videos slided in but it wouldn't work, so next time I might goggle how I could do it.

Wellington Places Google My Maps

Walt - Upload a live google map to our blog, and use google my maps to find out how long and far it will take us to get to pacific places


These are all my answers to the question my teacher has ask use to find out using Google My Maps.




Refection

I think I could work faster to get my work done before my classmates
I think is was fun to try something new in my learning using technology
I feel that it got hard at sometimes but I problem solved and used my brain and figured it out

Trust Me With Our Futuer- Speech- Shaie

Trust Me With Our Future

WALT- Write a speech and a leavle 4 standurd.

Picture this you are walking down the beach with your kite in hand. The air is clean and fresh, not a piece of plastic in sight. As your toes touch the fresh sea water you can hear the dolphins playing, they are free and happy just how things are meant to be. Trust me Shaie Comer with our future and this will no longer be a fantasy!

Give me one good reason why we should keep plastic? Can not think of one that's great, it just proves that we need to get rid of it and fast.  As I said plastic is doing nothing good, great, or amazing for our planet, actually it is doing the opposite it is basically killing planet Earth. Have you ever thought about what happens to plastic after you put it in the bin? Well it usually sits at the landfill until it flies away and ends up somewhere in the world. We need to stop this. Whenever it goes in the ocean it will be digested by sea life and when we go fishing we catch the sealife that still have the plastic in them and after that it is on our dinner plates then boom we have just eaten plastic. Just think how good that is for you plastic going into your health system and basically making you more and more weaker by the minute. Personally I would love to live in a world where there is no such thing as plastic or pollution, it hurts me to know that my great great grandchildren have to live in this mess that we have created. That one reason why you should trust me with our future.

Global warming is a huge problem for us right now. The heat rates are off the charts. We are faced with a problem our older generation has created. I know what your thinking yay another speech about how we can save planet Earth, but I’m serious global warming is a huge problem and here’s why. All the gases that trap the heat from the sun (Water vapor, Carbon dioxide, Methane, and Ozone) are unbalanced. When we burn fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas it relies to much Carbon dioxide, Which is one of the gases, that trap heat. To much Carbon dioxide means too much heat is getting trapped, and that's not good. For example, 2014 was the hottest year on record, then 2015 was the hottest year, and after that 2016 and so on. Big thanks to NASA because they are the people how have been keeping track of the heat rates, because if they weren't doing that then we would have no idea that we need to do something. Just think how bad it will be in 2025. I feel really ashamed about this, we need to look after the Earth not destroy it. I’m trying to help planet Earth and you can help too. We just have to use you small voices to make a big difference.

How would you feel, if some random person you didn’t know just came into your home and took you away from your family, friends, and everyone you know, then shut you away behind bars.Well the animals in captivity don't have to imagine because that's the life they are living.

Did you know that the animals that you have seen is the zoos, malls, and museums,  have all been taken out of our natural habitats and put in cages just so that you humans can pay money to see them. They are forced to do tricks and punished for if they do not obey.  I mean if you want to see amazing animals then buy a ticket to an animal reserve to see them in their natural habitats, seeing them doing what they like to do instead of seeing them do things they are forced and beaten to do. I strongly feel that they deserve better. Animals belong in the wild that's their home.

So here’s the facts people! We need to stop what we are doing and think...Is this life we are living really sustainable?Are we setting up the future generations for disaster.Or are you going to trust me with our future and follow me into a world of change.

I think I did well with my use of words.

I think that I would change the way i ramble on sometines in my speech.

I enjoyed the topic I chose I think it was a good topic for me and my speech.

Morepork slide

WALT- Put a slide together and learn about New Zealands native birds.

Morepork slide
Plz dont change any thing and just read it and plz put it in present!
Enjoy :)

Why Moreporks are that best Native birds in New Zealand

Morepork

WALT- We are learning to write a persuasive writig about our native birds.

“Can you hear that it sounds like someone chanting MORE PORK MORE PORK” “ No you silly duffer it's the moreporks call” Hi I’m Shaie and I’m going to tell you why moreporks are awesome animals. I’ll tell you about their Appearance, diet, and habitat. I hope you learn something new.

Morepork are a beautiful bird, I would know some people say that we look alike. Since the morepork is such a beautiful bird, it has its own unique features such as its bright brown and yellow eyes, its beautiful range of feathers the colour of creamy white, light orange and brown, and again its big booming eyes that stare its prey down. Did you know that the female morepork is larger than the male morepork and I bet they’re cooler than males too, a lot of people mistake moreporks for a normal owl they are not normal here's why. The average weight of a morepork is 175g, from head to tail the average height of a  morepork is 29 cm. The Morepork can turn its head around to 270 degrees. Personally I think that the morepork is one of the prettiest birds out there definitely in the top ten.

Let me tell you all about the morpork diet, I presumed they would eat pizza and ice cream like me but I was wrong. Morepork like to eat a wide range of animals and large insects such as weta, huhu beetles, moths and cicadas, small mammals like mice and young rats EWWWW!!!!! They also eat small birds (especially wax-eyes) I’m coming for you Zhara. Man I was so wrong our diets couldn't be anymore different.

Moreporks are found in open habitats in the South Island. My mum and Dad once saw a morepork at a restaurant on the Karikari Peninsula. The moreporks’ call often gets mistaken for the Brown Kiwi call. Moreporks are widely distributed throughout the native and exotic forests of New Zealand. I would love to see a morepork in its natural habitat, because they’re one of my favourite New Zealand native birds.

Well that’s all the facts and information I have about moreporks today but I will make sure that I do some more research about the morepork because I think they are an amazing species of native birds to New Zealand. I hope that proves how awesome moreporks are and I hope you learned something new, and now you have a new set of facts to tell your friends. Thanks for reading my writing.

Characteristics and Features

WALT- Seperrat the features and characteristics from charactes that we read about.

Descriptive Writing

WALT- Write a discriptive writing about a charcter that we read in a school book

Hera
Looking left and right thinking someone is there, her head throbbing as her heart pounds. Ca boom… Ca boom… Ca boom. She stares deeply into the surface of the lake, with nothing but everything to think about. She steps of the bridge feeling unstable with a slouched back and her head hanging low, as if it's tied to a thin string. Soon she forgets everything, nothing to recall on.
She closes her eyes then slowly opens them. She sees two unclear shadows. As they get bigger and closer she can identify who the blurry shapes are. Her mind starts to shut down like a book falling from a tall shelf. BANG!

Pie Chart

I learn form this pie chart that my class most likes six60. I though that Guns and Roses would of had a bigger inpate then what it is, I though Guns and Roses would have had more votes than Imagine Dragons. First is six60 second is Imagine Dragons third is Guns and roses and forth\last is Spice girls.

Sea turtles

Sea turtles

Do you want Sea turtles to go extinct? Well I definitely don’t!!

Right now your reading a report about Sea turtles this is what you will learn from this report… What they are, How we can protect them, and some cool facts about them.



What they are

Sea turtles are apart of the sea life, turtles breed in the tropics and subtropics, there are five species of turtle that are seen in New Zealand waters. Green and Leatherback turtles are the most common. Out of 7 known species of sea turtles 6 are badly hurt. The main things that are hurting them are poaching, loss of nesting or feeding areas, accidental catch (called bycatch), ocean pollution and weather changes (global warming).



How we can protect them

Well do you think Sea turtles are worth saving? I think they are worth saving, because they're a living species and so are we. I bet you if you knew how to protect them then a lot of people would start to change how they do things. We need to stop littering and start putting our rubbish in the right bins, even better trying not to use as much plastic in general. If you like eating Sea turtles then I’m not going to stop you there, but I will remind you about something very important. If its under size then you need to put it back in the water because that's illegal if you take it home. I think that we should protect Sea turtles and animals just as we would protect our kids and family.



Fun Facts

• Sea turtles are very old organisms. They lived on the Earth more than 220 million years. They managed to survive weather changes which killed the dinosaurs.
