Mt Exam Recount, Detective😄

 Exam Recount

Yesterday, I woke up and I had rolled off the bed. I turned off my alarm and I had a quick drink of coffee. Then I chucked the old cup in my bag. Later on, I pulled all the cobwebs off my helmet and pulled it on. I jumped on my bike, but I fell and scratched my knee. Red blood had already appeared.

I tried again. I grabbed my headphones and my iPod and turned on Mindfulness music. When I arrived at university, I turned on my computer and started typing.

When I found the site I grabbed my green and blue pencil case, but just then my chrome book had gone flat. I biked home and grabbed the charger. I charged my device and started to get information for my exam.

Drop your pencils! We handed in our exams. At the end of the day they gave out the exams, I looked at my page. I  got a f minus. I biked home, then I jumped on my bed. I think, next time I’ll do more research. 

Our exiting excursion😄

The Excursion

On Friday the 14th of August, our teacher Miss Slattery said "We are going to go on a day trip to Waitangi".  We were all pumped to go to Waitangi but we had a big two hour bus ride ahead. When we saw the bus it was a small bus. We jumped on. We were so lucky that the bus had air conditioning because it was boiling in there.

I was the one that was by the heater too so, I put my air condition at the coldest it could go. When we finally got to Waitangi it was 11:00 o'clock. We automatically ran in a line and followed Whaea Kerry, and Whaea Monica into the hall. We walked up the stairs and ran into a room.

First, we had lunch, and then they explained what the words computational thinking meant. Computational thinking is how you program some thing to do what you say or control. We played a game where there was a programmer and a  mover.

After playing the game and understanding how it works we had one last big lunch break before we could start  Scratch. When we started  Scratch, they explained how to use it and how to make the character move, and what buttons do what. 

We had a fun time playing around with it and making an animation. My animation was about a crab biting a bear's foot. After showing each other we said good by and hopped back on the bus and drove home. 

I was wondering when would we come next? 

 

My Brownie Recipe😄

Book Creator

Last week, Whaea Donna came into our class room and told us we were going to use book creator to make a recipe that you know how to make. Whaea Donna set us up on book creator and we started to make and fiddle around with book creator and found how to write and record. Then we started to copy our recipe and make it look beautiful. 

This is the link to my recipe.

My Brownie.

Be free to try it!  

Mt Speech Reflection😀.

Speech Reflection

This year I am really proud of all the effort and time I have put into my speech.

I chose my topic by asking my Mum and Dad to tell me in depth what each topic means. When I heard one of the topics was “What well being means to me.”, I automatically thought it would be a good topic to do my speech on because well being is important for everyday lives, and also well being can also mean being in your happy place. I practised every day to make sure I knew my speech inside out. My Mum, Dad and Gran all helped improve my speech but I did most of the work because it is my speech. When it was time to present in front of the class I knew I did not need to be worried because I am saying it in front of people I know. After my speech I feel like I could have improved by looking at my audience the whole time. I can improve by talking to the audience more. Next I would like to say it in front of the church and improve my public speaking.
