On the 21st of November Thursday I went to Technology (Tech). This term I’ve been in robotics with Mr. Davidson. Today my buddy and I made battle bots. We did some research first and had an idea of what ours would look like. We finished our code and didn’t have time to make our robot move and instead we had free time on the computer until it was time to go. I think robotics is fun and I very much enjoy the lessons. You should try making a battle bot, I’m sure you would enjoy it.

On 18th of October I did action stations. The station I went to was Art with Fi and Talei in Tane Mahuta. On that session we learn’t about shading and the art work we would be doing. I went to art with Kelsi. We got handed a sheet and we had to fill it out in shades of light to dark. My least favourite was doing the dots but my favourite was cross hatching. I think it was kind of fun but I still enjoyed it.

On th session we learned about shading and the art we will be doing.

For the last month my maths group has gone down to the library and have been learning how to programme sphero move making shapes. I’m in a group with Malaya and our plan and coding is the pictures down here.

On Friday the 13th our class did passion projects which is when we write a goal of what were doing and we see if were achieving the goal we set. Today I chose to do line dancing because it was cloudy and miserable to go outside and do football. I danced with Eliza, Daisy and some other girls. The dances we did were the Bunny Hop, Cowboy up and Achy breaky heart. I thought it was fun. My goal for line dancing was to not make a single mistake when I’m doing the dances. I think I achieved that except for getting distracted. I think that I did good and I would like to do dancing again for my next passions.

For Literacy we have been learning about Literal language and figurative language. We have also been learning about idioms and researching phrases like, ” Let the cat out of the bag” Which means letting a secret out. The class has been learning to write a poem with at least one Idiom in it and the explanation. My poem I did was about a human she or he going into the forest and enjoying their time there. She hears and sees things in the peaceful background and knows that the forest to her or he is like a treasure to them.

For maths today I did a work sheet about angles in triangles. I learn’t that all the angles in triangles always add up to 180 degrees. Then I did a Google draw about it.

In literacy we have been learning about Figurative language and literal language. I did an Idiom task on Google drawing about a Idiom and the meaning of it. I did To let the cat out of the bag which means To let a secret out. I even researched the origin of this Idiom. I drew the literal and Figurative of what let the cat out of the bag.

On maths the 13th of August we got a sheet of paper called Isometric dot paper.  On that we carefully drew out 3D shapes that were pretty much made out of sides and faces. One of the shapes I found easy was drawing the cube. It was small and easy to connect the dots. The tricky thing I found was drawing our own shapes that our other buddy made out of blocks.

So far I enjoyed drawing these out and I very much liked the activity.

Today for maths we had to choose a shape and describe its appearance on a Google drawing.

On the 3rd of July we went down to the hall to go visit the science fair. I saw my work down there and it made me a little bit proud. I could see heaps of posters and diagrams and other work that other studios did. The experiments that I found more interesting were the Elephant toothpaste. I also tried out these marble courses that people made with cardboard. I think that the science fair was fun
