Amazing Aotearoa🐣

Summer learning journey , Week one Activity #1

  Amazing Aotearoa...

I made this presentation in under half an hour, using Pontchartrain. Piktochart is a fun and easy way to present any type work.

But if you are looking for other sites that you might eb able to present on, I would suggest,

Canva, Flip-snap, Prezi and powtoon.

I found this really easy to put together. But maybe putting some things in my own words were a bit hard.

Amazing

Aotearoa

Now most people don't know this but, did you know that the nick name for our very own country is. "The land of the long white clouds"

New Zealand is the first country in the world to see a new day. Our East Cape is situated just under 500km from the international dateline, meaning we are living in the future!

The New Zealand flag hasn't always been our official flag. It was adopted in 1902 amidst the pomp and patriotism of the South African War. For six decades before that, the Union Jack fluttered from New Zealand's flagpoles. But even that wasn't our first flag.

Hey you!

If you would like to read more on our amazing country Aotearoa. Than you might want to take a peek at these sites...

Paddle boarding fun!

Paddle boarding

2018

05,12,18

Most of us were a bit scared, because we had never done it before. The rest of us were fine though, because we had gone paddle boarding more than once.

We went paddle boarding

On the 5th of december 2018, the YMS year 7-8's went paddle boarding.  It was awesome!

These are some photos from our paddle boarding trip...

I hope you enjoyed that...

Our plastic oceans

Currently in rimu we are researching on our plastic oceans for  inquiry.  Our main topic name is "Waste not, want not".  Below is a poster my bff (Please check out her blog here) and I have made, I personally think it is amazing. And was the best part of our presentation. 

Our next step is to do our action learning.  I shall explain more in that post to come.

But for now I/we hope you enjoy reading through this slide.

Thx 🙃😆🍀

Why you should and should not be fined for missing school...

This week in rimu is hooked on books week! And it's has been so much fun so far, Especially since we read new and exciting books each day. My favourite so far is called Liars, you should totally dig through your local library for it. And I like it because it's kind of a mystery murder book. And I love mystery novels.  But anyways, today we read a book called "The goldfish boy" it was pretty good. But it wasn't my favourite. Well The main character in the book is called Matthew. and he doesn't go to school. This lead us onto an interesting writing unit. About how in the U.K your parents can get fined if you miss a day of school. And so we had to write a speech on that. Whether we agreed or disagreed.

And I was kind of in the middle. And above is a video of my speech. 

I found it really easy to write, because I love writing persuasive  speeches. And I have gone on to win awards for that. 

I hope you enjoy watching it!

Tesselation

Taking flight

                    

Every term in rimu we focus on a couple, of different genres of writing. The first few weeks of this term, we have been looking at recounts. I In week two we wrote a recount based on a, little clip we watched as a class.  Something I found really difficult was finishing my writing. Because I didn’t just write about the clip. I made up something to go just before the actual clip. You’ll get what I mean when you read my story. I also really think that I have improved during this session. Mostly because of all the diary entries I have written.

I hope you enjoy reading.

How to calculate the angles in a triangle..

I totally enjoyed Maths this week. Because  I learnt a lot of new things,  things that I would normally avoid in maths.  But when I learned how to work it out, it actually was pretty easy. And now I am sharing my knowledge with others.

Hope you enjoy!   (>_<)

Hero Reward time

Our school is divided into four groups, called houses. Hillary, Edger, Rutherford, and Ormsby. Each house has to reach a certain amount of points and we are rewarded. In each house, we vote, for our reward. And then come's Hero Reward time! I am in Hillary house, and we chose Freetime and Cookie Decorating. Do you have a system like this in your school? and what would you want as your reward?

Post test

This week in rimu we had a post-test. And we had to write an adventure narrative. This is mine, when you are done take a look at the piktochart, And then click on this (It's a link)- paddlet.  I hope you enjoy reading my work! =)

                   

Elmsmere speech comp

                          

On Monday evening the 3rd or September. My friend Piper and I drove to Lincoln primary school. Because we got in for the Elmsmere speech comp, and we were representing our school. It was totally amazing! And this is a slide all about it. Hope you enjoy =)

Waste not, want not

                               

This week our class had gone on a trip to the eco drop and sort. Our class was split into two groups. One group went in the morning, and the other in the afternoon. I made this slide based on our trip. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Tiny houses??!!!

This week at YMS it is math’s week! And in Rimu we have started a project on tiny houses. Through that, we learned area and perimeter. Which was pretty easy, because it was mainly adding and times tables.

In the next few slides are the steps we had to go through. And a video that can teach you area and perimeter.

Refugee reading work!! ;)

                     

Every week in rimu we read a book as a class. And this week we had started a book Called "Refugee" which was written by Alan Gratz. It is a really sad book, but it helps you get a picture of what is happening in the world right now. 

Our class also did some work based on the book. This slide has all the questions and answers that I have written. I hope you enjoy reading it. Please give me some feedback on what I have done well, and if you have any questions please comment below. Thanks

My reflection journal!! =)

Today in Rimu we all wrote reflection journals about the term. This is mine, please comment and tell me if I have done well or maybe there is

something here that you can relate to. Please remember that your comment should have a: Positive, Helpful Thoughtful. Thank's.

The whole term has been very fun and tiring all at the same time. Sometimes work was easy, and every other time hard. Each day with a news uprise. My favorite thing about this term was Maths because I find it very easy now. And also because I can understand it more. And I feel like I have seriously stepped up in my maths. I never ever thought I would be saying (or writing) this, cause I had used to always dread maths, or anything to do with fractions. And maths whizz had kind of made it easier for me because, when I would do a learning activity on maths whizz, and then did it in my maths group I understood it better than before.

Also, I think that I have shown my Hero qualities in and out of school. Especially at manual. During manual, I feel like I was mostly an E, because I was really enthusiastic about everything we were doing. Especially mandarin, I’ve always loved learning new languages. I’m learning six so far. My best friend Parwin Is teaching me Farsi. She is from Afghanistan and that is one of the languages they speak there.

.

Right now I can only think of two things that haven't really gone well for me. The first one Is my writing. Most long write sessions I cannot get 250 words in the time given. And when I do Get 250 or more, I am really not happy with my story, (like the most recent one I wrote “Waiting”). And the second thing that hasn’t gone well for me is kind of funny. It also just happened yesterday on the 5th of July. So basically Parwin (my best friend) and I were laminating certificates for the coloring competition. She would put it in the case and then pass it to me, then I would put it in the laminator. We were doing this for a while. Then when I had put the fourth one in it never came out of the other end, and there was this weird crunching noise coming from the machine. I had no idea of what to do except turn the thing off and run for the teacher. I had gotten Mrs. Rofee to come and check it out. And then they spent all afternoon trying to get whatever was in there out. Luckily Mrs. Tebbett had managed to pull it from the machine. And that really is the end of the story, I’m still yet to thank her.

And finally my Focus for next term. I think that my focus for next term is to always get my reward time. So basically I always want to have my work finished on time. This term was a blast. But I'm still looking forward to the school holidays.

Maths Investigation!!!

Every week in rimu we have a maths investigation. And this week's investigation is called Adam's watch. Here is a video me and some of my classmates made about it. I hope you enjoy it. =)

Posted

In rimu these past few weeks we have been doing some work based on, the book we have been reading as a class. It is called posted. Here is a slide of the work I have completed and started. Enjoy =)

Optical art

This week for maths in rimu we have been making optical art. Optical art consists of geometric shapes and patterns, and is often coloured in black and white. This type of art creates illusions, leaving the viewer with the impression that objects are moving, vibrating, pulsating, or warping. I hope you enjoy reading my slide. Jedi =)

Lunacorns!!! 🦄

This week in rimu we have been learning to write Non chronological reports. We had to write about a made up animal.This is one of mine, it is about Lunacorns. I found it hard writing a conclusion, so I just wrote some fun facts. I hope you enjoy reading. And please leave a comment on what I did well and what I could improve on. 😀

Lunacorns 🦄

Lunacorns, Also known as “ Unicorns of the moon”  are mythical creatures of Luna ( The moon). Some say that every Blue moon, they enter the Earth's atmosphere. To drink from the firefalls, which is located in the Northern Hemisphere.  There are many Tales of these mythical creatures that still roam today.

              Appearance

A Lunacorn can easily be mistaken for your regular unicorn. But a Lunacorn has many more features such as:

• Wings
• Hair that changes color according to its mood
  But otherwise they wood look like your average unicorn.
  
  
  
  
  Habitat
  
  
  Once every Blue moon a troop of Lunacorns enter the earth's atmosphere, and ride the aurora polaris to the drink from the fire falls. That is located in the northern hemisphere. At the crack of dawn the prepare to leave. Leaving the eldest (the leader) behind, for he is to weak to fly back.
  Luna corns mostly live in craters. Foals, are snuggled into several other holes, that are dug into craters,
  
  
  
            Eating habits
  
  
  Lunacorns mainly live on the tropical fruit located on the Firefall island.
  Counting:
  • Mangos
  • Watermelons
  • Guava
  And Pineapple.
  
  
  
  Did you know? 🤔
  
  
  • A male lunacorn can lift  something ten times his weight
  And a Lunacorn can weigh up to 5 tonnes!
  • A luna foal’s poop is pink and smells like cherries!
  • A lunacorns wingspan can be up to three meters long!

I hope you enjoyed my Non chronological report🤩

May the fourth be with you...

Today in rimu we have been making 3D star wars figures, for it is The fourth of may. This is a picture of mine. It was also a star wars theme dress up. Some of my friends and I were stormtrooper's.  This is a photo of me and my friend Nikita. 😸

Do you like watching Star wars? I have never watched it. But I do love dressing up. And if you had a star wars dress up at your school, what would you dress up as? This is one of my BFF's , Julia. 😆  

I hope you enjoyed reading, please leave a comment and tell me what  your Favourite star Wars character is.  And maybe write to answer the questions I asked. Thanks🤩
