What if my life was... a Movie??? (Home Learning)

Kia Ora Bloggers,

today is my home learning blog post.

If you didn't already know,  each week, for our home learning we have to do a certain amount of minutes/progressions on this website called Math-Whizz. We also have to do different blog activities and be careful, we have to do each activity to follow everything it says. Here is the link to our site, if you click 'Other Learning Areas' and click 'Home Learning' and there, you will have the blog activities we have.

My activity is called 'Movie Time' and this is what I have to do:

Movie Time// Home Learning

To start off with, I couldn't think of a movie idea, and all the movie ideas my family would come up with were silly, or I didn't think they were good. So, I went on the actors/actresses and I asked everyone who they would want playing them.

It took a while and it was kind of difficult waiting for their answers and some of them were very funny.

Here is my movie post showing who is starring and the name etc...

I have a slide and inside the slide is the poster.

Here it is:

I hope you enjoyed this just as much as I did. I have to admit, sometimes doing these are hard because your mind just goes blank, luckily I have a good mind!

I enjoyed doing this and it was kind of funny hearing my little brother's answers. Thank you for reading and I will see you next time!

Rimu Class - Hooked on Books!

This weeks in Yalhurst we have been having a Hooked on Books Week. We had this so that we could expand our reading genres and different authors and the books we read get us hooked but we don't read all oth ebook so we have to put our name down  on a list if we want to read the rest of the book. So everyday we get a new book and we don't know what it is until we find out, each day in a different way and creative activity.

On day one it was simple - the teachers pulled a name out of our stick box, The book was called The Honest Truth and it is about a boy who has cancer and runs away. We had to create a recount of what it would be like if we were Mark (mark is the one who has cancer). We also had to make a slide about routes and I found it quite easy because it was a simple task.

 On day two (Tuesday) we played pass the parcel and on the first round it stopped where Gracie and I sat and Gracie opened it, and it went until the last layer (it went forever) and the book was called Space adventure and it is where you get to choose your outcomes and decisions, and it is really fun, we then had to create a persuasive piece of writing about which planet we thought that the person should live on. We also made a pick - a path about it.

 On day three (Wednesday) we had to put together a digital puzzle to learn what the book was called and it was called 'The first hippo on the moon' and before we say the books pictures we got a piece of writing and buddy up with someone and create batik artwork, at the end of the day we got to see the real pictures in the book. We also had to do some optical Maths work where we try creating optical art where it is an illusion.

On day four (Thursday) We had a treasure hunt to find the book and it was wrapped. The person who found it got to open it and it was called ' A Fish In A Tree' it is about a girl who has trouble reading but won't admit to it. We had to read what it was like for someone with dyslexia and how hard it is to read. It is very hard to read and understand words. Here is a link to that. Did you find that Dyslexia sit hard to read? - I know I did.

Today (Friday) we had a vote what book it was but we didn't know which one won and then names got called out and we had choose what box (A, B or C) and we had to choose until it was the correct one. It was called 'The Person Controller' and I have already read this at home and it is fantastic. We haven't done activities on this one yet.

Overall book week has taught me a lot to do with genres and authors and other literacy and maths activities. Some activities were hard and some were slightly easier. But overall this week has been fun. sometimes you think a book won't be good and it ends up being great. This book week in our School has been amazing, you should try it.

Here are some photos:

About Me

In class this week we were set a task to create an about me slide and post it onto our blog. Here is my about me post. Please comment on what I could improve on. I hope you enjoy it!

Superhero steps to success

This term yr 5/6 are doing a topic of super heroes.
We had to create our own super hero draw it, Make a logo, make a biography about him/her and then name it. I designed my own and added features it took me two sessions and I also had to make a sculpture out of tin foil of my super hero which I haven't quite finished.

 Bio:

Starting off in Gymnastics then trampolining, Julia Manton has all her life been flexible. The job of being the town saver for crimes that involve flexibility, strength and Mindset she is always on the run. This is her first time being called for an out of town job, I wonder what will happen…

                                                

With our tin foil sculpture it was inspired by Alberto Giacometti. Here is a photo of what we were inspired by.

                  

Exploring Blogs

We are learning to create a positive digital footprint.

We often share personal information when we are online. The people we share with could be our friends and family or people we don't know. We need to make smart decisions about what personal information we share online.
