Hurumanu 2 - Reading The Ginger Bread Man

Today in period 3 we did reading, in reading we watched a video called the Ginger Bread Man. After we watched the video we had to put some information about the characters in the story. The protagonist is old lady, old man, cow, horse, pigs and the hen. The antagonist is the gingerbread man and the fox. I think the gingerbread man was a round character because he is the main character of the whole story. The direct characterization about the old man and old lady: was that they were both lonely and they had no kids, and the old lady said to the man "that he is always outside and never spend time with each other." Indirect characterization for the gingerbread man: I think the gingerbread is cheeky because he kept on running away from eveyronebecaus ehe didn't wanted to get eaten, and because everytime someone wnats to eat him he says "run run as fast as you can, you can't catch me because I'm the gingerbread man!"

Bullies - Group Script

On Wednesday for drama, we did some slides about a script, the script is called "Bullies." Our drama teacher read out the script and we did a picture dictation. A picture dictation is where you get a piece of paper and fold the papar into six equall box's, after our teacher read's out a picec of writing and your teacher will read in parts, after you have to draw something that you think is the most important part of that bit your teache read, and you keep on doing that for all our boxes. My favourite part of this activity was doing the picture dictation because I like to draw. My least favourite part was nothing.

    

Activity's For Freak The Mighty

Today we are starting a new book for Term 4. I choose to read The Freak Mighty, our teacher Miss Birtch set us some activity's for the new book we are reading for Term 4. Miss Birtch wants us to do two activitys before period 4 ends. My first activity: My predeictions are that this book has a guy that has no brain and learns to get smarter and so he doesn't get bullied at school. My second activity: This book interests me because its about a boy who tries to put resilience into not to get bullied anymore.

Business & Enterprise Market Day 2020

Yesterday at school we were selling our products for business and enterprise. My group was called Aphrodite because its another name of rocks. You probably know what we're selling for business and enterprise, we sold painted rocks for people who want to decorate their house and people who are into paintings. I think this was fun because this could be us in the future having our own business and selling items and getting money. We painted at least 30 rocks and sold most of them but we had 3 left. I think we chose a good idea for this because all the customors that bought our rocks were gone so the customers were happy. I think the customers bought our rocks for the garden. I think our business was successful because we made $37 from selling our rocks. I enjoyed mrket day because we could buy form other stall's and pay to play games at the stalls.Next time for market day I would put posters around the school becasue we didn't have time to put posters around the school. First, we planed on what we did for our business and enterprise, we kept on choosing new ideas becasue stuff were too expensive and took so long to do. After, we decided to do rock paintings so I emailed my group saying we should do rock paintings, and they agreed. After we started getting data from everyone's opinionsand started painting our rocks our theme for our rocks were freestyle. I painted some cherry blossoms, K-pop groups, trees, animals and more. My business and enterprise group took turns at staying at our own stall for customours so other people in our group could buy stuff from other peoples stall's. 

Student Summit

Today we did Student Summit, it was a bit of a frustrating session because the video call kept on kicking us off. We were meant to go to South Hornby School, but since of COVID-19, we had to stay at school and go to a quiet space and do the presentations. We had 4 different sessions, we had 2 sessions before interval, and 2 after interval. I have experienced this before because I did student summit last year. Student Summit is where you get to teach each other what tools you can use in our learning. Today my group presented something I have used in the past its called Canva. Canva is a tool you can use to make poster's, diagrams, advertisment's, presentations, logo's and more! I think Canav is a good app to use because you can add text, photos, elements, backgrounds, shapes and you can also upload your own images and videos! The people that were in my group were me (of course), Shelby, Hayley, Suzie, Hannah and Kirsty.

Character Words - Drama Hurumanu 2

On Monday period 1 we started doing new topics for Term 3. In the period we started doing Drama, we have to find the meaning (in our own words) what some words are. The words are Flat character, Dynamic character, Static character and Round character. We also had three words for the part which is the good character and the bad character, these words are Protagonist, Antagonist and Narrator. 

Flat character - is the character in the fiction that does not change too much of the story.

Dynamic character - a character that changes throughout the story.

Static character - a character that stays the same throughout the whole story.

Round character - is a character that is the main character in the whole story.

Protagonist - is the good guy of the movie/story, basically, all movies/stories have Protagonist.

Antagonist - is the bad guy of the movie/story.

Narrator - is the person who tells the movie/story.

Health Crisis

Today I finished my DLO for the health crisis. A health crisis is when something is popular in the country for example COVID-19. We had to research a health crisis, I chose diabetes to research. I made my DLO on a set of slides. We had to make a graph for our research. What was hard, nothing was hard for me, what was easy, making my DLO was easy for me. What did I enjoy, I enjoyed making my DLO, what did I least enjoy, nothing it was all fun for me.

Here is my DLO.

Bingo DLO

Today I finished my DLO about protests. We had to do the activity's like bingo after we have to put it on a DLO. My favourite part was trying something new for a DLO (called Google Jamboard.) My least favourite part was nothing. 

Solar Oven

Last week in Science we made solar ovens, we were meant to melt cookies and marshmallows but it wasn't sunny enough, so we used our solar ovens today. The solar energy made the marshmallows and chocolate on the cookies melt. We used foil cardboard and skewers to make our oven. We waited for a few minutes for our food to melt after we ate it. What was hard, nothing was hard, what was easy, everything was easy, my favourite part was eating the food that we melted, my least favourite part was, nothing.

Car Shopping

Last week we started doing an activity called car shopping. The reason why we did this is that we were learning how to work in groups because we are doing Bussines Enterprise Kete. When we did this activity we had to buy a car, our limit money was $6000, and we also had to add in the 12-month registration and insurance for the car, we had different sites to use, and we had to make a DLO after, we decided which car we wanted and we presented it to the whole class. I think the hardest part of being in a group was, I didn't know some people that well even though they are in my class!
