San Diego Zoo

Kia Ora Bloggers,
My third task today was to choose an animal from the San Diego zoo online. I chose the flamingo, the article was very interesting and contained a lot of interesting facts. My favourite one was telling us how tall the can be and they compared them to the size of a average sized fridge.

What is your favourite animal? Mine is a cow or a flamingo. How have you been keeping yourself busy while at home?

Saying hi without touching!

Kia Ora,
For one of my three tasks for today, I read an article of kids from Onehunga Primary School that came up for a way to say hi to their friends without touching them so they stay safe from the Coronavirus. They created a new way and named it 'The East Coast Wave' If you would like to read this article this is a link Saying hi without touching. Hope you are all staying safe and clean!

How I have kept myself busy

Kia Ora,
In this post, I am going to tell you how I have been keeping myself busing while off school. This may give you a few ideas of what you could do.
I have been doing a bit of soccer and basketball practice on my driveway and in my backyard, this gets me outside and active.
I have also been doing a lot of arts and crafts to keep myself off my phone so I don't turn into a zombie.
Our teachers have set us work to do while it's not school holidays, so I have been making sure I am staying on top of that so I don't get behind.
I have also been having quite a few dance parties in my bedroom jamming out to some of my music!
What have you been doing to keep yourself busy?

Rotational Art

Kia Ora,
Another task I did today was creating a piece of art that showed Rotation. How I made it was I made a square bit of paper and folded that in half then in half again so it was a miniature square, next I folded it into a triangle and wrote my nickname of each triangle facing a different way, I then coloured it in and this is how it turned out. What have you been doing while off school? hope you are staying safe!

Delicious Dinner!

Kia Ora,
Last night I helped to prepare/cook dinner for my family, I cooked spaghetti bolognese. My mum helped me with the mince so I cooked it well. We cooked the mince in a pan and when it was three-quarters of the way done we added flavouring and tomato sauce to make it less bland, we steamed the vegetables on top of the pasta in a different pot. It took ten-fifteen minutes to cook and then we served it up. Spaghetti bolognese is one of my favourite meals so I liked cooking it.

Silly Safari Bingo!

Kia Ora Bloggers,
For another one of my tasks, I played Silly Safari Bingo with my little sister. Silly Safari Bingo is not the same as normal bingo because you have to fill your whole board, to do so you have to spin a wheel and land on that animal and in that colour. We played with two boards each and took turns spinning, by the end I have one left while she had three, I ended up winning.

Terrific Tessellation

Kia Ora,
My next task was to create a tesselation using and shape. What is a tessellation? A tessellation is a shape that is repeated to make a pattern. For mine I decided to use triangles, I coloured some white and some black. When you stare at it, it seems to become more and more confusing, what do you think? 

Awesome Anzac Art!

Kia Ora,
Today for one of my tasks I created an Anzac picture. I added big crosses to show the people that died defending our country and the poppies that our the Anzac sign. Here is my picture.

Kia Ora Bloggers,
Another task I did while at home was creating a piece of art from what you can find outside. I made a person by using leaves, flax, pine needles and all sorts of stuff. Here is how it turned out. How has your day been?

Brilliant Book cover!

Kia Ora Bloggers,
While we are off school our teachers have set us tasks to complete and blog. The first one I did was create a front and back book cover using canva.  This is my finished cover, hope you like it. Hopefully you are staying safe and CLEAN!

Samoan Counting game!

Kia Ora Bloggers,

Do you want to learn how to count to ten in Samoan but in a fun way?  I have created a game to help you learn Samoan on Scratch. Enter a number between 1-10 into the text box and that number will come up with it in Samoan, that number will stay for 5 seconds then you can type another.  Here is the finished product of my game. Can you count to ten in a different language?

Super Samoan Counting

Hello Readers, On Wednesday our other transition is Samoan. Our Create task this week was to create an animation teaching others the Samoan Numbers. I created mine on Bitable. Next week we are learning more Samoan greetings. This is my finished animation:

Binary Picture

Kia Ora Bloggers,

Every Wednesday we do technology but this year we have two groups.  While the other group is at tech we do transitions, one of them is coding.

In coding, we are learning about binary and we had to make a picture using binary. We had to use a 10x14 table on docs and using back and white created a picture. The white spaces are the 0's and the black ones are the 1's. Here is my code:

0000000000

0000000000
