My Quirky Poem!

Hello Readers,

In Literacy, we tried making poems in a similar style of Dr. Seuss.

The reason we're doing this is that we are learning about children's books and how to write one, and what to include.

Here is my poem (It's not meant to make complete sense).

Bill and Phil went to the windmill.

They grabbed the grill and it made a shrill.

Bill went to cook the chook.

Phil threw his hook at the book that was next to the chook.

Bill felt ill and Phil gave him a lick and told him he was sick.

Bill did miss Phil so he gave him a kiss.

With my poem, the word chook means chicken, because apparently it's a strange word and not many people use it.

That's all!

What's your favourite Dr Seuss Book?

My Wonderful Website

Hi Bloggers!

For the past couple of weeks, I have been working on my Wizard of Oz Analysis Website.
It's now finished and you can view it! The only issue is that if you aren't from Marshland school it won't let you on, so I'll tell you about it now.
CLICK HERE TO GO ON MY SITE
My site includes three characters which are Dorothy, Tin Woodman, & Oz.
The three themes I chose were Home, Power, & Friendship.
As well as my three symbols which are The Yellow Brick Road, Emerald City, & The Hot air Balloon.

I made my website on google sites and used the template called 'Project' Google Sites is free and super easy to use!

That's all for today!
Have you ever made a website?
What's your favourite character from the Wizard of Oz?

My Awesome Ako!

Hi Bloggers!

This week was my first week back at school, it was great to see everyone!

For Literacy I get to make a website using new google sites all about Oz, I'll upload it once I've completed it.
The website has 3 symbols, themes, and characters that are important to the book and film.
The symbols I chose were the yellow brick road, Dorothy's slippers, and the Emerald City,
My Characters are Dorothy, The Tin Woodman, and The Wizard of Oz,
And my Themes are Home, Friendship, and Power.

For Numeracy, I learned how to do python which is basically computer language.
I had to change how I worded equations. For example, instead of using an x for multiplication I used * and instead of  22or3 I used ** then the number I needed.
Here are some examples.
If the equation is 72-3+5x2=
In python, you would put 7**2-3+5*2=
If the equation is 6x9÷5-1=
In python, it would be 6*9/5-1=
To get the answer you have to put control+Enter.

Last but not least today I started Koru art and I got some inspiration from Raewyn Harris she has some amazing pieces of art. I haven't completed my Koru yet so I'll upload it in next week's post!

Have you ever used python before?
What is your favourite piece of art by Raewyn?

That's all for this week!
Stay safe!

My Lovely Learning!

Hi Readers,
This week I only had 3 days of school since Monday was ANZAC day and Tuesday was Teacher only day.
For math, we learned about how to use a Cartesian plane and how to do transformations on it.
I found these tasks relatively easy since I was already familiar with Cartesian planes.

The first two transformations we looked at on the Cartesian Plane were Translation and Reflection, and on Monday we'll be looking at Resizing and Rotation.
The images above are three shapes and the transformations of them.

For Literacy this week we looked into the themes of Perseverance and Home from The Wizard of Oz.

These are my answers to some perseverance questions,

And the questions on the theme of home.
You may notice it says Q2 & Q3 that's because the first question is to do with the end of the book and I haven't quite finished yet.

Last but not least for Friday Fun day I made a board game and a made-up animal.

I can't include a picture of the board game because I haven't coloured it yet, but I can show you the rules for 'Escape the Upside-down'
*Sorry I can't, it won't let me send through the email.*

For my animal, I made a Zataphant which is a cross between a Cat, Zebra, and an Elephant.
*Same here :'(*
That's all for this week!
See you next week!

My Splendid Sestina/NZ writing!

I saw the clouds surrounding me.

The paparazzi harassing me and Bill.

Bill and I partying all-day

I saw Bills Ex storming over

Cause I’m Bill Haders new bestie

Lawyers sky diving with quirky turtles 

Hello Readers,

This is my sestina for NZ writing, We will be sending our poems to a school up in Hamilton.

We are looking forward to seeing what poems they send to us!

Word Mania

This week was the first round of word mania so here are my scores!

Btw I'm probably going to post weekly every friday.

Alice Animation

Me and my friend made an animation on the scene in Alice in wonderland when Alice first sees the White rabbit, and then Alice follows the rabbit to the rabbit hole.

Hope you enjoy!

Goal Reflections Term 1

Writing Goal: I will proofread & edit my work for spelling, punctuation and grammar. - I think that I have completed this goal thanks to the amount of writing we have done this term!

Reading Goal:I will read novels & be able to analyse the characters, settings, plot & themes in great detail. - I am exciting to go

into this next term, and do novel studies next term.

Math Goal: I will find the rule in patterns and express this rule as a fnto this formula - I think that I'm over half way up the goal ladder so by the end of next term I may have completed it.

Fun Vocab

In class we had to make word art on different words for example "SAD" and with it I have other, better words that mean "SAD". If you want to make one then go to https://wordart.com/. Have you ever made something like this before? Please give me feedback! ☺️

My Goal Ladder for Term 1

This is my goal ladder for Term one this year. The symbols represent where I am at, because I have only recently set my goals I haven't managed to move up yet. By the end of the term I hope I would have accomplished my goal.

Welcome

Haere Mai, Talofa Lava, Mālō e Lelei , Maligayang Pagdating and welcome to my very own blog for learning. I look forward to sharing my learning with teachers, my school, my family and friends anywhere.
