Good fit book
A good fit book is something that is not too hard, not too easy, like a Goldilocks thing. It is something that you don’t lose interest in because it is too short, or a book that swirls with hundreds of words per page. This is an activity about choosing the right book.
Recent school phone ban
From the start of Term 2 phones have been banned in schools, colleges, in New Zealand because of the National Party policy. The cause is pretty self explanatory, people being on their phones rather than being face-to-face with people, cheating with your phones, distractions. And what do I think about this? I will probably not have a phone until I turn 14 or so, but it could slightly help with people on their phones, and give them a break.
Blackout poetry
What is blackout poetry? You extract a piece of text (credit them), find words that join up to make sentences, and black out the rest. Here is my blackout poetry about cats.
Our polyline drawings 11
The slides have been renamed to Our polyline drawings because it is now a collaboration slide with my friends. If you don’t know what this is, I made ‘bytes’ that are made of polyline in Google slides. This is the 11th installment but you can go see previous ones on slide 2.
Adding decimals
This is an IXL activity but in the maths group I am in, we are learning about subtracting and adding decimals. For example, the problem above is 3.9+9.7. You can use the algorithm strategy for adding decimals. .9 and .7 are in the tenths value. Add them up, carry the 1 in .16 to the ones place. 1+3+9 is 13. So our answer is 13.6.
Phyu Sin Wanted Poster
This Cybersmart task taught us to use certain things in Google Drawings, such as word art, borders, and text boxes. I chose to make a wanted poster about my cat Lily. Here is the result. (Lily is actually a very good cat)
Room 6 Class Kākahu
For an activity, our class made a Kākahu, a Maori cloak made from feathers. Every feather has a name, and what they like. For example, I am Phyu Sin, I like cats because they are cute.
My Pepeha
A pepeha is a way to introduce yourself and tell a story. Your school, your family, your suburb, many things are in your pepeha. It also makes connections to the land, like the mountain you live near, the river, and the ocean. Here is my pepeha that I made in Canva.
