Wacky races?

Hi!

Last week on Thursday the year sixes were away so that left the year 7&8s.

For the whole day we worked through this booklet of the 7 habits.

Here is a Biteable of the 7 Habits:

The 7 Habits on Biteable.

These are the habits that I will be talking about on my blog later on in the year.

But for today I will just talk about the think win win habit.

This is the activity that we did wacky races with.
We were all on the little field and were faced with a range of objects.

We got in partners and one of us went and
chose a object, I was with Nikita and she went and chose a ball.

Then we had to try to hold the ball together in weird ways to a tree and back.

For example some were: Knees to knees. Finger to finger. Head to head. Palm to palm.

I found that the knees to knees one was the hardest 

because we couldn't use anything else to hold the ball.

It taught us to use teamwork and talk to figure out how to do it.

Comment what you think about this weird way of team building.

Would you try it? Who would you do it with? Do you think you could do it?

Until next time...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?... No it's a bird

Hi!

Welcome to my second home learning blog of 2020!

This time I chose to do the picture activity.

Here is what it says to do...

So I chose the book Black wings beating.

I read it not too long ago and I was excited for this activity.

I was going to use a different site this time but

since I had to make it I used a google drawing.

Here is my work:

There it is, I hope you like it.

It took a while to make and I found that the people

were really hard to make mainly the boy.

I tried to match them to their descriptions.

They are twins but the boy has grey hair that's why he has grey hair.

Whats your favourite book?

Until next time...

Where does the bus take us?

Hi!

Welcome to my blog post.

So every Tuesday morning the year 7 & 8 go off on a bus to...

Manual or Tech.

Whatever you want to call it that is where we go.

There are lots of different things that we do over a year.

I am currently in a group with Ashlee.

We are doing design, textiles and digital learning.

So far we have chosen what to make and we have crafted a paper pattern.

I'm really excited to start, I chose to make a cat bed for my cat.

Here is a example of what it might look like when I'm done...

So far I have only chosen the fabric and I have cut out my cats name.

I had to also choose the size so I do 50cm by 40cm.

I think that it will look good once it's done but right now it is a pile of fabric.

Does your school do anything like this? What would you make? Do you have any pets?

I think that I am most excited for cooking at manual.

This is because I really like baking and things like that.

Until next time...

What's cool... in School?

Hi.

Welcome to this blog post.

So what's cool and what isn't in the senior class.

Well it's really simple, keep reading if you want to find out.

They are only simple things like being kind and listening without interrupting.

But it's surprising how some people don't do these things.

For example silent reading isn't silent fast, if your school does that is it silent for you?

Getting on with work takes a while because of all the interruptions is it like that for you?

I could think of many things but let's find out what's cool in Rimu...

That was it, I hope you liked reading it.

I found this really fun to make and the only challenging part 

would of been the moon because I usually find moons hard to do.

I think that I do these things most of the time if not always, I also feel like 

I have learnt to always follow these rules inside and outside of the classroom.

Does your class have any kind of rules or something like this?

How would you choose to present it.

Feel free to comment your answers to the questions 

and what you think about these guidelines.

Until next time...

What could people mean?

Hi!

Welcome to 2020.

This is my first blog post this year and I am super excited to get back to blogging.

My first blog is a...

Home Learning blog.

This year we got different categories and went off

in different groups to think of different ideas for a blogpost.

I chose to do the people category this time.

So here is what I have to do...

So with those instructions.

Here is what I did and what I made...

I think it turned out amazing.

Now it's your turn to pay it forward.

What will you do?

Comment what you think you could do and a

time that you have paid it forward.

Until next time...

Bye!

Week 2, Day 1, Activity 2

Hi!

I know it has been 2 weeks but I have been busy. But here is a blog post.

In case you still don't know what the Summer Learning Journey is here is an explanation. The SLJ is a learning thing that helps you in the holidays to prevent the summer slide. The summer slide is something that means we lose lots of our learning in the holidays when we can prevent most of that by doing 3 blog posts a day for 4 weeks not including weekends. That means there are 60 blog posts that we can do to help us. Best of all this is a competition so each blog has a certain amount of points. So at the end of the holidays our points are added up and we get prizes.

Here is what I have to do today.

For this activity, we would like you to calculate Jessa’s age when she won the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award. She was born on 7 April 1985 and she received the award on 9 July 2010. Please provide the answer to this question in years, months and days (eg. 20 years, 6 months and 2 days).

On your blog, please post both your final answer and an explanation of how you solved this maths problem. You could write your explanation, or use screencastify to record yourself explaining how you solved it.

Now here is my work.

That was my work.

I hope I am correct.

I just didn't remember if for the months if it would
be 2 and if for the days it would be 1 but I think I did it right.

What is your answer?

Until next time...

Bye!

Week 2, Day 1, Activity 1

Here is what I have to do today.

For this activity, create a list of your ‘Top 5’ favourite things to do and take a photo of yourself doing each of these things.

On your blog post both your list and your photos of your favourite things.

I didn't have any photos so for each one I made a picture.

Now here is my work...

That was my work.

I hope you liked it.

I am going to be trying to finish all the blogs this 

week but after this blog I will still have 44 left but I will try.

What's your favourite thing to do?

Until next time...

Bye!
