Subtraction Maths DLO

Last week for group 4, our math task was learning how to subtract whole numbers using algorythm. Me and my group did a good job collaberating and sharing our ideas. We made good progress in being able to work out how algorythm works and how to be able to work out subtraction equations with more knowledge and speed. After we all got the hang of it we got to work in our books. We could also work together on our whiteboards warming up before writing it out in our books. I had fun helping other people understand the questions asked and how to work it out. I think that our group leader does a really good job helping multiple people and helping us get on track if we had missed out on anything and making sure our group is on task and doing the right thing.

Sewing Tech at Tamaki Collage

This week for sewing tech, we are focusing on making tote bags. We went on our chromebooks to search designs and patterns and see what ones we like. We looked at 5 to 6 photos of the designs we saw potential in and put them on a google doc explaining what it is and why we like it. For me my main focus was mostly on superheros and marvel. After we finished putting the photos on the doc we were able to draw out the one we liked the most on our paper. And then we wrote next to it what colors the patterns would be. I made my tote bag inspired by Spider-Man. We are currently still making the first layer of the bags. I cant wait to see all the finished resaults!

Math Addition DLO

LI: How to calculate the sums of whole numbers using algorithims.

This week for Group 4s Math task we worked together in Addition, before starting the actual book work we worked together as a group on our whiteboards to learn and understand how to do addition in algorythm. Me and my group did an amazing job working together and sharing our opinions on how we get different ideas to solve our equations. Addition was really fun and enjoyful to learn. I think i did a good job at helping the others in my group that didnt quiet understand learn how to do proper algorythm.

Life in the Annex

LI: To write a description of life with the Frank family in the annex in 1942

 

The Annex was silent except for the creaking old wooden floors, the yelling at the doors outside towards the Jewish unlucky to be caught at home during the raids,  the loud breathing of the others and the chiming of the ticking clock outside.

It also reeked of the smell of not showering for days. Some nights our stomachs will rumble because of hunger and lack of food, then other nights we would have to eat horrible food like beans, soup packets or vegetables which were bland and very basic.  This usually lead to a commotion of some sort but most were grateful for at least having a meal. 

Most days it was quiet, but some days all we could hear was screaming. The type of screaming that made my heart beat overly fast. It was so loud I started to worry that the Germans would be able to hear it! The fear of being found was so real, somedays we couldn’t even flush our toilet due to the sound. The hardest part was that we had to be cautious of our movements. Every little step mattered.

We do have windows but we had to block them as well so that the Nazis don’t find us. Being cramped in a small space is boring, so for entertainment we would spy on our neighbours and sometimes even each other.  Another girl who was here with me, Anne Frank, recorded everything down in her diary as her entertainment. 

My head was racing with any small quiet sound made, I sighed with relief when I heard the Germans drive past our home. Mind you sometimes after those trucks passed, I still felt that tight knot twirling in my throat. I was never ever fully calm.

When we got the yuck soup we got every single night my hands shook and the metal spoon clattered against my bowl. I was too scared to even slurp too loud. I could hear the sounds of Anne scribbling on her diary and the crisp sound of the pages flipping throughout the minutes. I could hear the desperate pleas of our neighbours as they got taken away. I prayed to god for the Germans to have mercy on us. 

At night I couldn’t sleep even if I was tired. I was too shocked to fall asleep as the night screams terrified me more as we started to think our time to getting closer.

This week for our Writing our main focus was about Anne Frank. Our task was to imagine that we were in the Annex (Hiding spot) with the frank family. Mrs Anderson created Gemini Gem to drop us hints on what we should say to make it stand out and sound more powerful. Thanks to the help of Gemini our writing sounds more stronger.

 

Octopus SLJ

 

For this exciting task i coloured in a very cute doodle of a octopus using the app called Super coloring. I really enjoyed doing this task as it was time consuming but did help me focus alot more and i found it quiet relaxing! And also some awsome facts that i have learnt is that sometimes octopuses can have three hearts and blue blood! Isn´t that interesting? Another facts is that they are incredibly smart and they also have nine brains. I never really noticed and thought about how important and cool octopuses are before i did this task. Maybe if you think u should learn some facts you should also do this to, make sure to try it out and color a octopus to. There are alot more pictures you can choose to color to! Have fun and have a amazing holiday!

Moshas new leg!

 

For this Summer Learning Journey task, our challange was to make Mosha a new leg! I came up with the idea to make it a vine full of flowers, my friends helped me to come up with the idea to. I hope that Mosha enjoys and likes it and i also hope you enjoy it to! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Legs legs legs?

 

For the Summer Learning Journey task Legs Legs Legs? Step it up I made Turbo some new front legs using paper a pencil and my imagenation. Incase you cant read its abilities let me write it out for you right now. Turbo is a dog with no front legs, so i used my imagenation to create him a fresh pair! At the bottem of the feet there is a little compartment that opens when u press a button that is way up at the top of the first part of the leg. Also in the middle i made another compartment that is stapled up so that when u un-screw in u can press another button that dog treats can come out, and the little ball is the thing that holds all of it together. I really hope you enjoy this and maybe you should have a go of making turbo a new pair of legs to!

SLJ 2025 – Spider web

For the summer learning journey this year we made a spiderweb made out of paper. Me and my friends shared a computer to watch the tutorial, we used paper, scissors and used a pencil for a sketch to cut out the shape of the spider web. This activity was extremely fun to participate in and I’m glad I got to do this with my friends. I am also happy that out school gets to participate in the Summer Learning Journey.

Centipede SLJ

For this summer learning journey task, We found out alot more about giant centipedes. We answered questions and that lead to us using our brain and learning much more facts about centipedes, i also made a word problem myself that involves centipedes aswell, i hope that you guys can learn more to!

9/11 attack google vid

For our inquiry task we made a diarama about incedants that happened in the past, i choose 9/11. But a more darker side of 9/11 . It was about this one firefighter named mike kehoe that risked his life to save others, he basically put other peoples life before his own, but unfortunatly he couldnt manage to save anyone cause the flames were to rough for him, him and his crew rushed up the north tower just after 8am. I made a google vid explaining what happened and how it happened. This topic really interested me and got all of my attention, i hope you could enjoy and learn more about like me to!
