My Matariki Scratch Game!

 We have been learning how to code on scratch. We learnt this for our cybersmart with Mrs Torrie. I enjoyed learning how to code. Have you ever been on scratch before? I found it difficult to find the right types of code to put in to make my character go. I had  a space city background and a dog spaceman. What do you know about scratch? I found it easy to pick my characters colours. We made our scratch Matariki themed because it is the time of Matariki. Today i was able to finish my scratch post. Next time i would change my theme. I want to add to my game by making it longer and change my stars and my sprout. I liked learning how to code on scratch and it was good to learn if  i ever wanted to be a coder when i was older.

THOMAS'S AMAZING AUTHORS PURPOSE

We have been learning to tell what kind of text is in different stories. We learnt this for our learn, create, share which was about Matariki. I liked writing about what type of text and summary the stories are. I found it challenging to find what type of summary it was. Next time I would change the colour and to make my font bigger. Next time I would want to learn more about text and summary. Do you know anything about Matariki?

 

SINA AND THE EEL

We have been learning the story of Sina and the eel. We learnt this because it was Samoan language week.

I liked learning more about Samoan language. Do you know any Samoan? Have you ever heard the story of sina and the eel? This is the link to the video.

 

DO OIL AND WATER MIX?

We have been learning about fossil fuels. We learnt about this so that we can help save fossil fuels from extinction. My learning was fun because we learnt some of the different types of fossil fuels.

Have you ever tried this experiment? 

SIGN LANGUAGE WEEK

 

We have been learning to sign our name in sign language. We learned this because it was sign language week.I liked learning how to sign your name in sign language because now we can understand some things that other people sign. What can you sign?

What is a covenant?

We have been learning about Covenants so that we can have a better understanding in God's covenants. If you didn't know what a covenant is, it is a sacred agreement with God. I can embed slides on my blog I can copy the link and past it on your blog.I liked our learning because it was fun learning about new things that we haven't learnt about. What did you like in my blog post?We were learning about Covenants last week and this our slide show / rap explaining what a covenant is.

The Glossy Green Island

We have been learning how write descriptively. We learnt this so that we can write other descriptive pieces in the future. I enjoyed picturing myself on the island and I found it tricky to find the right words to write into my story. Next time I would change the topic and maybe use different describing words. 

When I am sitting on the island I can smell the fragrant coconuts wafting up my nose. The coconut smells like the fresh green leaf that it came out of. It  smells of the milky cream coconut milk that’s inside.

The tropical fish glide through the water and the only thing that they leave behind is a little ripple in the water that the sun reflects and makes the sky shine bright rays of light. The two short trees sway hurriedly above me.

Far in the distance I can hear the roaring motor of a grey tourist boat slowly coming closer. The breeze rustles the trees and the trees start swaying violently like there's something lurking about. The water is swirling gently and calmly. The parrots were squawking loudly and it is annoying. The parrots were emerald green and garnet red.

The hard rocks were warm against the cold breeze and the soft rug that I set up was warm. The soft grass was spiky green and was icy cold.

When I jump in the water it’s really warm and it tastes very salty and it was not pleasant. The fresh air fills my gasping lungs. This island is green, viridescent and gigantic.
