Wonderous Wonder - Novel Study

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

For Reading, we have been doing novel studies. There were four options. They were Fing, Gangsta Granny, Wonder and Danny the Champion of the World. I chose to do Wonder as I haven't read the book before. I really enjoyed the book and I would recommend it.

We had a booklet to work through and, in the booklet, there were comprehension questions and activities to do for each part of the book. I only did a few tasks but I think that I did them really well.

Have you read Wonder before?

These are the activities put onto a slide.

Ka Kite see you next time!

Splendid Scratch

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

For Cybersmart we have been learning how to use scratch.

On Thursday our task was to make a game to help our siblings entertain themselves. I made a game called Balloon Pop where a balloon randomly pops up somewhere on the screen and when you click the balloon and the balloon pops and another pops up somewhere. To start press the green flag at the top and to stop press the red octagon at the top of the screen.

I thought that this was really fun and I would do it again.

Have you ever used Scratch before? What did you make?

If you what to play my game you can here. Comment your high score so others can try to beat it!

Ka Kite see you next time!

Spectacular Speeches

 Kia Kora bloggers,

At home this term, we have been writing our speeches to compete for a position in the Belfast Speech Comp. Before we got to go the competition,  we had to read the speech in front of our home base, (about  25 people), then 5 of the best speeches to read in front of our hub, (about 132 people), and then one Yr 5 and one Yr 6 have the opportunity to go tho the Belfast speech Competition.

My speech was on pronunciation and I presented it in front of the home base on Tuesday and in front of the hub today (Friday). 

I was really nervous, but it turned out that it wasn't so bad after all.

Have you ever written a speech before? If so what was it about?

Ka Kite see you next time!

Amazing Athletics

 Kia Ora bloggers,

This term we have been training for athletics. The activities we have been training for are Long Jump, High Jump, Sprints, AShotput and Discuss. My favourite is Long Jump as that is the sport I am best at. My longest jump is about 2.97m. 

Last Monday we had Athletics day. Athletics day is when we do all of the sports we trained for and get them measured. I got 2.65m in Lomg Jump, and 90cm in High jump. I don't know my results for Discuss and Shotput. We didn't have enough time to do Sprints that day too we did it on Thursday and I got 5th out of 5 runners in my heat. 

What are your favourite sports out of these? 

Ka Kite see you next time!

Rad Reflection

 Kia Ora bloggers,

For Maths this week we have been recapping Reflection. Mrs Kerin gave Yr6s a slide to work on to show her how much we knew/remembered about Reflection. This is my finished work.

 

I enjoyed this and I found it quite easy. 

How much do you know about reflection? I would love to know!

Ka kite see you next time!

Cultural Diversity

 Kia Ora bloggers,

Tomorrow we have got Cultural Diversity day where you dress up as your culture. Today we have been doing Cultural tasks where you choose a country and you write an information report about it.  

I am doing my report on Paris. I have only done a few things because I only started this morning. Do you know much about Paris? Read the start of my information report to learn more about it.

Crazy Emoji Coordinates

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

As I said in my last post we in Maths we have been learning about coordinates. Our task was to use a blank piece of grided paper and follow a set of instructions to make a mystery emoji using coordinates. 

This is the set of instructions we had to follow:

This is my finished emoji:

 

If you did this task do you think your emoji would look the same as mine?

Overall I think that I have done really well and I quite enjoyed drawing this emoji.

Ka Kite see you next time!
