Something I did In Lock down

 

                   

Something I did in lock down was finish off this google draw. She's a character off an anime and I had fun time making it and it was pretty difficult to make especially the hair and the eyes. I'm very happy the way it turned out.

The Storm

 A massive wooden fishing boat sat upon the Caribbean sea. The ocean was a pretty teal colour and it was as clear a glass, seaweed and kelp flowed in sync to the waves, schools of fish swam quickly, the sky was so blue and not a single cloud in sight.

The weather forecast said it would be sunny all throughout the day so now was a good time to be out on the water. The only people on this boat we're siblings. A 15 year old called Jackson and his older sister Alana. Their mother was struck with a sickness and this was the only job that could pay enough. They had to work through storms and scorching heat. Everything was fine, the sky was still blue and still cloudless. The ocean danced delicately until it was swept into the boat. Everything was fine until a couple minutes later.

Clouds began to surround the sky. The sky turned from bright blue to a pale grey. The ocean turned murky and gross looking. And then it started to spit. It went from spitting to raining to downright pouring. Thunder boomed, “Argh!” The siblings both jumped at the sound. They started to rise and shake and the wind howled violently. “What the hell is going on!?” Jackson screamed trying to fight over the wind. Alana grabbed onto the side of the boat, hugging it tightly. While her brother did the same. She squinted her eyes hoping this would end as the storm raged on.

How will we ever get out of this?

The Area Of A Triangle

 

We had to make a presentation explaining how to find the area of a triangle. There are many different sorts of triangles so we just did the equilateral triangle. Different ones have different ways to solve them. 

My Possible Actions

We have been learning about climate change and the effects it has in our oceans and forests. We had also learnt how to reduce power and water to help slow down the impact. We also had to think about ways to conserve power and water.

-Turn off the lights when your not in the room, and teach your family members to do the same.

-Lower the amount of time and water you use to have a shower. And don't leave the tap on so it doesn't waste water and flood your house.

-Reduce your catch and only take what you need so they can repopulate.

-Don't take the smaller fish, so they can grow bigger.

-We can use public transport or if you don't have that in your area use bikes if the place is nearby.

-You can also recycle so it doesn't go into landfills. 

-When your buying furniture think wisely just buy things that can be easily grown back and what they're made of isn't going near extinction.

Disapear

 The world was going crazy. It was chaos. People we're trying to find out what was happening. Prized Possessions, Kids, Parents, that weirdo on your street, went missing. People we're crying, screaming as if that was going to bring them back. And then there were people that we're fine with this, they 're a bit crazy though. And then there we're the crackheads that thought this the work of a purple fictional villain with a magical gauntlet with rocks in it. 

It had been weeks since the first disappearance. Scientists and Paranormal Experts had no idea what was going on. Was it just going to go on till there was no one left on Earth? What happened to the people that disappeared? We're they OK? I don’t know… In my household there was no one but me (Age: 14) and my dog, a golden retriever called Socks. He was usually an ecstatic dog but he wasn’t himself. It was depressing to see him sit by a massive window and stare at the city during this chaos. “Knock! Knock!” Someone was at the door. She walked over to the brown door and tugged at the doorknob. There stood a person that was at least 12 feet high. There were a couple people behind him not as tall but still an astonishing 9 feet high. There we're all different colours. Some were as blue as the sky. While others we're purple, green, and yellow. They all had patterns on their faces; the tallest one had an emblem imprinted onto his forehead while the others just had a line smudged on their foreheads. They were  wearing a sort of ragged  uniform with a weird logo on it, most of them had pouches hanging from their waists. They looked like something out of comic books. 

“We're looking for subject 079-7300. Have you seen him? He’s at least 7 and a half feet high. Black scrawny hair, and scars on his hands.”

“Huh that’s funny he sounds a lot like my dad…”

The End

For this weeks writing task we had to write a story about a place where things started to mysteriously disappear.

Multiples and Factors

WALT: Understand factors and multiples of numbers. 

Multiples and Factors

Multiples are numbers that can be divided by another number a certain amount of times without a remainder. While on the other hand a factor is a number divided with another or multiple numbers that divides a number without remainders. 

Today for Maths we were given a few questions. The questions were one of those guess the numbers and they gave you a few hints. I struggled with the last 2. There were 5 overall. 

These were the questions. 

A Book I've Read Lately

 A book I've read lately is My Hero Academia Vol.2. Its a manga and it's based off the show. You have to read the book backwards and people think it's weird. I would only recommend this to people that can read backwards and enjoy anime and manga. The series is about the whole generation having super powers called quirks and the main character is quirk less, he gains a quirk and gets accepted to the best high school for people with quirks.

Reading Task

 

What I did for reading today

Today for reading we had to make a slide, and have a selection of words and you would choose some and find out the meaning and make a sentence out of them there were a lot of words to choose from, you could choose to make this on slides or on google draw.

Do you know most of these words?

The Fox

The Fox

WALT: Write a narrative story 

 Everyone in this small town knows the story of the girl whose parents went missing, it's not a day I like to remember. It was I think June the 9th when my parents were taken, this happened 2 years ago. I was 12 I was naive. I now live with my aunt, she owns a mansion, it’s massive. She’s very strict though.

It was just daybreak. I decided to get ready before she would yell at me to be more “productive”. I tied my dark hair up. And looked at myself in the mirror. “Do you miss your parents?” The voice was almost serpent like. I scanned the room. No one was there. “I could tell you...but it’ll cost you…” “Who’s there!” “Just someone that knows something…” This serpent voice was good at persuading I can tell you that but I must continue on with my day. 

I should get away for the day. Trees shot up to the sky; they were tall oak trees. Birds fluttered in every direction singing high pitched songs. It was nice being away from the mansion and the voi- “Missed me much?” This person wouldn’t leave me alone. This person was starting to agitate me. It was scary how he could follow me everywhere and how, just how did he get into the mansion. “Scurry.” Something was running through the bushes. I was scared, I was terrified. I looked back to where the noises were coming from and there stood a fox, there was something off about the fox though. Normal foxes would run from people. This one stood there staring at me. “Um.. Miss. I think I know some things that you might want to know.” A fox was talking to me. Um. So I did something that most people would do. I screamed at it. “ARGH!” “It’s ok, I must assure you that I’m not a troublemaker.” “Umm.. Ok. I’ve never met a talking fox before so umm..” “Is it a yes or no, miss.” “Umm.. Alright…” This peculiar fox then trotted off into the forest. I stood there not knowing what to. “Are you coming?” I ran and followed his voice. This fox could not be the voices I hear, his voice wasn’t at all like a serpent but he sounded like a little gentleman. I don’t know how a fox got a voice like that or how he got a voice at all but no matter now, I need to find this information that this fox knows. 

I followed him until we reached what looked like an abandoned house. 

This looks like a place I could get a few answers from.

Kylahs Feedback: You story was great and had a lot of describing words.

We had to make a short narrative, it had to at least have a fox in it. We then had to get someone to read through it to make sure it actually make sense. I had a lot of fun writing this I like writing stories especially narritives.

What I Learnt from Maths Today

What I Learnt From Maths Today

 LI: Order Numbers in Decimals Place

Instructions: Order these decimals from smallest to largest. Write the answers in the back of your maths book. I think i did well in this activity. I think I could improve on harder decimals to order. There were 14 questions and 3 in each one to order from smallest to largest.

Do you think you'd do well on this sort of activity?

All About Me

All About Me

I like to just hang out with my friends. It's fun and there all pretty weird, but they make me laugh and it's always fun to hangout with them.

Decimals, Fractions And Percentages Quiz

 

We had to make a quiz about what we've learnt about decimals, fractions and percentages. The quiz had to have about 5-10 questions. And we had to get this finished by Friday. 

There And Back Again...

 

For our inquiry we had to make a slide presentation about someone from Australia travelling in New Zealand for about 2 weeks, since the borders are opening up. This means the people in New Zealand are allowed to fly to Aussie and the other way around. We had to make sure they visited the South and the North Island, and visit 10 cities or towns. 

Shortcut Quiz

For Cyber smart we had to make a quiz on google slides for shortcuts, it can help people who like to do things faster or people who don't know much about them. I had fun making this and I hope it can help out a bit.

How many shortcuts do you know?

Camouflage: Snow Leopard

We had a reading task and for that we had to choose an animal that uses it's camouflage to hunt prey. I worked with Mia and we chose a snow leopard. We had to make a slide and research about them. We researched about their appearance and how they use their less distinctive markings and thick fur that look like the rocky terrain that they live in. We researched about their prey which mainly consist of  wild sheep, blue sheep, marmots, pikas and hares. And their predators which are mainly humans that illegally poach them, for their fur and wolves hunt for their cubs. And then we wrote a couple of facts about them.

Jamal and PJ's Trip to Titania

 Jamal had always wanted to go to space since he was 7, and 14 years later he was finally about to make his dreams become reality. He had finally finished preparing his spacecraft and he was taking his German Shepherd, PJ! Jamal was one of the NASA space researchers that were working on a project to find out if Titania was habitable. He then volunteered to go and find out since he already had his spacecraft ready so if somehow the earth turns out to be inhabitable they’d have another place to go to. He was then ready and all geared up and so was PJ, NASA made a space suit that was fit for PJ so that he could go to and not run out of oxygen. NASA tried to persuade Jamal to take one of their rocket ships because Jamals one was untested. But he denied their offer.

He then started to board his spacecraft and called to his hound, who trotted into the rocket.

He pushed a button and it initiated countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!

3 hours later…

He was suddenly so close to Titania, but then something went wrong… “CRASH!” They crashed onto the surface. He got himself and PJ out of there. Just as he watched the rocket ship blow up because of fire hazard stuff. “That was close wasn’t it PJ?” He wasn’t there. He had got that scared of the explosion that he ran off. “PJ! PJ! WHERE ARE YOU!” He started to lose hope. He looked at his oxygen levels. 42%! He needed to find his dog fast. He walked around until he saw a pile and heard something moving, something not human or a lost dog. It sounded like metal and wood. He ran to the pile and found PJ walking on the wood and metal. “WOOF! He looked happy to see him. Jamal had an idea.

“Ready PJ?” “WOOF!” They hopped in the cart and just like that they we're back on Earth but there was one problem.. “Where Are we?”

We had to make a narrative for a writing competition that NASA held. The story had to have characters that go to one of Uranus's moons there were 3 to choose from and I chose Titania, The story had to have an intro to the characters and the setting, there then had to problem and a dilemma which is a situation that has a difficult choice that had 2 or more possible alternatives. There then had to have a solution and an ending.

Decimals Quiz

 

https://quizlet.com/_9n6dnx?x=1jqt&i=3mg38j

For Maths we had to make a decimals quiz, but mainly just simple addition with decimals. Like for example whats 34.89 + 19.57? It would be 54.46. The things we needed on our quiz we needed 10 questions with a problem that includes decimals we could use all operations whether it be addition, subtraction, division or multiplication. We then needed to test it on someone and see how many they could get right. 

Spelling Results Term 1

 One thing that I've done well this term in my spelling is getting my spelling words right and getting 10/10 every week and I'm proud of myself, we have even been learning to spell words in te reo. 

One of the things I would like to improve next term is my sentences, and hopefully get into the top 3 for sentences most weeks. And maybe get first. I would be happy if I got that.

Sailing Experience

Little red and yellow sail boats floated across the ocean all kept together with a piece of rope.  They were all being towed by a boat with a motor that rippled across the water. Once we got to a decent spot on the ocean they'd let us go so that we could actually sail. One by one the boats were untied by the rope that kept them together, one would be in charge of the direction would go and the other one was leading the sail and choosing how fast or slow the boat would go. They then emptied rubbish bags of coloured plastic balls and rubber ducks on the surface. The children scurried after to get as much as they could, it was like when a pinata breaks, everyone fights over what had been dropped on to the surface. Once all was collected they would flip your boat and show you how to get it back up. The little red and yellow boats were once again towed and returned to the shallow and pushed back up on the sand.

One of the activities was a thinking puzzle game and a bit of a competition, you would try and make a boat that would fit as much stones as it could possibly could without it sinking. Simply the one that had the most, won. You would have to make a boat made out of tinfoil, put it on the water to see if it could float by itself, and then keep adding as much stones as you could until it's reached it's limit. Try and see among your friends who can fit the most in the tinfoil boats.

I had a good day, my favourite part was sailing and being flipped off the boats because the water was warm.  Although I thought I saw something that looked like a stingray or shark and then turned out it was a sail of someone else's boat. The on land activities were fun.  

Goal Setting Term One

1. To work on multiplying and dividing decimals (Stretch Goal) Find out the best way possible to find the answer. Get someone to write or ask questions about the topic and see how many I can get right. I would try and get at least 20min.

2. Build more of a complex vocab (Stretch Goal) Use references ( People that have a better writing skill than me) and try and get ideas for vocab for a type of story. I would try maybe every 2nd week.

3. To be better in my descriptive writing (Strength Goal) I would try and write in my spare time and use references to gain different ideas to use in my writing. I would use 30 minutes at least every second week.

4. Be able to draw more realistically (Home Goal) Give more time to my art in my free time and use references to get better in drawing different body parts.
