ANZAC facts

 Today I read a slide with facts about ANZAC day. Then I had to write three facts I found interesting and why.

This activity wasn't very interesting because it didn't take very long.

Anzac- Poppy Growing

Today for Reading I made an animation of a poppy growing.  I was going to do it on a slide but it was too slow so I put it onto gifmaker.me and it went faster. I liked doing this because I like drawing and Animating.

Native Maori Contingent Poster

 Today for Anzac learning I made a poster asking men to join the Native Maori Contingent. The Native Maori Contingent is the very first Maori unit in the war. 

To be btb I could have added more in.

Current Events- Curiosity

For the current events quiz, the second question I chose was a question about Curiosity the Mars rover. You can see the other question I chose in the post before this one. The question was: "NASA recently found an underground lake on Mars. What Rover found it?" and the answer was Curiosity the Mars Rover!

Current Events- 3,400 year old city

 Yesterday we did the weekly "Current Events" quiz and we got to choose 2 questions to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about. The first one I chose was about an ancient 3,000-year-old city found in Egypt last year that was revealed last week. 

To be BTB I could have added more information or looked harder for it.

 Today we were learning about Anzac day and we got to choose something to do about it, so I chose to do something about morse code. I had to choose a fact I know about morse code and write it in the code! I used a converter otherwise it would take too long to write. 

This was interesting because I like morse code.

Top tip Poster

 As you may have seen in the post below, we did a thing called "Digital Dig". On the last slide, I had to make a poster about one of the top tips. I chose to do Search+l, which is how you lock your screen. I wasn't allowed to use pictures found on the internet so I decided to draw them! Yes, all the drawings are by me.

Digital Dig

 On Thursdays, one of my teachers does a thing called DFI where she learns about technology. One of the things she did was learn about a Chromebook keyboard, which was called "Digital Dig". When she came back to school she said that we had to do it! 

It was pretty fun but was also easy because I already know most of my keyboard. I liked it because I got to draw and I like drawing a lot.

The Steakout- cover remake

 Today I read a play in a school journal called The Steak Out. It was about a cattle stealer and his sidekicks who run a steakhouse in the wild west and pretend to be women. They meet some ladies who come to the steakhouse and say that they are bounty hunters who are looking for the cattle stealer. When they start to realize who the "Lady" really is the cattle stealers steal the horses and run away.

After that, I chose an activity to do. I chose to remake the book cover as how I think it should look.

To be BTB I could have added more to the picture.

My version:

How we could make our school more energy efficient

 Over the past week, I have been learning about Tokelau and how they use 100% renewable energy. Then I had to use those ideas and make a model of a part of our school that shows how we could make it more energy-efficient. I chose the office area to build and made it out of cardboard.
I also had to make a video explaining my model after I made it.
By using solar panels we wouldn't have to pay so much for electricity, because they are really cheap. To make it even cheaper, when it's sunny we could use solar tubes. They don't even use any power!

This project was fun because I like making models of things and making videos. My favourite part was probably the building part.

To be BTB (Better Than Before) I could have explained how solar panels and solar tubes benefit our school more in the video.
