When I Did A Narrative Writing

On Thursday last week at Paihia School  Te Ngahere did some narrative writing. Our writing topic was a flu pandemic(covid-19). In my story a new virus is born and kills people. The people didn’t know why people were dying until four guys named Donald,
Steve, Zack, Lee figured out why and they went back in time to stop the virus. My focus was to make sure I have several Ideas with some extra information and also choose words that want to make people read my story .What I thought was hard was probably the second paragraph because I didn’t really know what to write for it. What I thought was easy was the last paragraph because I actually knew what to write. What I think I could do better next time is probably add more detail and descriptive words so that the readers are interested.

When I Did A New Type Of Art

On Thursday  week 8 in Te Ngahere at Paihia School we did a new type of art called poupou art. To draw it we had to fold the paper into thirds and fold it in half. After that we drew a heart shape at the top of the paper then we drew a heart inside of the heart so it looks like a mouth. We then drew the nose and the eyes and the head. After that we drew the body, arms, legs and then the patterns. Once we were done with that we went onto a bigger piece of paper and drew it on there. After that we drew over the lines with vivid and then we coloured it. What I thought was hard was probably the patterns because I mostly didn’t know what kind of patterns to put on the body. What I thought was easy was probably folding it because all you need to do is… well fold it. What I think I could do better next time is maybe do some more creative patterns.

The Time I Did A Trickshot

On Monday at Paihia School Te Ngahere did some trickshot. We had to throw a ping pong ball into a cup in a creative way. It also had to bounce off a surface, have cardboard and take at least 3 seconds. When we made the trickshot and got it on camera we had to make a reflection. My group trickshot was get some chairs, get a box and put the cup in there, put a ramp made out of cardboard on the chair so that it would land in the cup then we throw the ball. What I thought was hard was trying to make the ball go into the cup because we had to stay in a spot so we could get it in the cup. What I thought was easy was nothing everything was hard but at least we got the trickshot because we never gave up. What I think I could do better next time is stop changing the ideas and stick to one because if we stuck to one idea we probably would of gotten the trickshot faster. How would you do your trickshot?

Do I have my maths eyes?

In Te Ngahere we have been doing some maths about our maths eyes. We did maths about gingerbread men and we had to notice stuff about them. We copied a slideshow on our class site and did the stuff the questions on it ask us what do to and did another activity after it. I noticed that all the buttons were different colours and that they `all have hats on.What i think i could do better next time is notice more things so that i can make a better blog post about it. What I thought was hard was noticing more stuff because i didn't really see anything different about them.what i thought was easy was the slideshow because we just needed to do the stuff the questions on there asked us. Do you have maths eyes?

What is Maths Whizz

On the 25th of February at Paihia School in Te Ngahere we went on a website called Maths Whizz. Math Whizz is a tool for helping your maths education. It's good for both helping you overcome your  weaker topics while also building on your strengths. When we got on we were handed a piece of paper with our username and password. When we got on the website we had to type in our username and password to login then we had to answer math questions and after we answered all the questions we got to make an avatar then we had to do panui. What I thought was hard were the measurement questions because I don’t understand how much is a centimeter or millimeter. What I thought was easy was the questions 1253 x 10 because I just had to times the number by tens which was easy. What I think I could do better next time is maybe get better at maths so I can get more points.

Mind-blowing facts about cybersmart

Last week on Monday in Te Ngahere the people that did not go swimming did cybersmart. We had to go to the digital dig slide on the Te Ngahere website and make a copy. After that we had to go to slide 2 which had a image of a chromebook keyboard and take a screenshot of the shortcut to screenshot and put it on the next slide. Then we had to take a screenshot of our desktop. On the next slide It asked us what was the shortcut to find the find bar which was ctrl f. After that we had to watch a video which told us the keyboard shortcuts. When we finished watching the video we went to the next slide where we had to answer all the keyboard shortcuts. I'm not going to do the rest because I wont have space to write. What I thought was frustrating was where we had to answer all the keyboard shortcut because I had try and find it out on Google. What I thought was easy was where we had to put in our face in a frame because we just needed to take a picture of us and put in a frame. What I think I can do better next time is that I could of drawn better on sumo paint when we had to make what we were looking forward to this year.

Turbo Touch

On Thursday January the 30th at Paihia School Te Ngahere went outside and played a new game called Turbo Touch. Turbo Touch is a game where you get into a group of 3,4,5 or 6 and you and your team pass the ball to each other sideways, backwards and forwards just no kicking. If you drop the ball you handover the ball to the other team. To score a touchdown two passes must be made to a open the active zone. What I thought was hard was trying to score because the ball keeps dropping. What I thought was easy was passing to each other because we were good at passing. What I could do better next time is to come up with more strategies so we get more points.
