Activity 2

Hey bloggers! I decided to do a bit of comedy in my second activity for the SLJ! Here is 2 great and 1 sorta weird thing about Ikamatua, my hometown.

Activity 1 SLJ

Word Art

In class we made origami boxes for our homework a while back. We had to take the boxes to school and glue them onto a piece of paper. We got given a random name  and had to write positive things about that person and then put them in their box. When we had enough positive things, we made a word cloud with word art. Here is mine.

Cricket

Paddy from Canterbury Sports came to our school on Tuesday 27th of November to teach us cricket. We played games that improved our batting and catching skills. It was a good way for us to learn new things and keep fit. It was also good for them because they could promote the sport by making more kids interested in it, so they might play it when they are older. He also told us the name of the New Zealand teams. Male team is Black Caps and Female team is White Ferns. Here are some images Mrs Hahn took.

Here are some people batting

Here are the fielders

Knights & Ladies

On Wednesday we had Mrs Meikle teaching our class. She read us a book about knights and ladies, and then we had to make a presentation about knights and ladies. We had to do some research on knights, jousting and ladies. Here is my slideshow.

Wringer Scene

In class, we are reading a book called Wringer by Jerry Spinelli. It is about a boy named Palmer who lives in a town where there is an annual pigeon shooting day to raise money for the park. He joins a group of kids named The Guys, and they torment the girl who lives across the street. Her name is Dorothy but they call her Fish face. We had to make videos about one of the scenes in the book, and my group did the scene where The Guys bomb Dorothy with snowballs on their way to school.Next time I would like to have a go at using Green Screen to get a snowy background.

Athletics Video

In room 6 we made videos about a chosen activity in athletics. My group chose long jump. In the video we had to give pointers on what to do and not to do. Here is the slideshow 

My Pet Day Information Report

 At our school every year we have a pet day and have to do a pet day project. This year room 6 weren't allowed to just slap together a poster. We had to put our information reports into WeVideo format. For the information report we had to talk about all animals of that kind, not just our pets. We had to use photos of our pets as visuals. Next time I think I will add more photos. Here is my video:

Refugee Activity Week 8

Hey!  On Thursday we finished the book Refugee by Alan Gratz. So, in the end Isabel, her mum and dad , Senior Castillo, Seniora Castillo, Louis , Amara and Isabel's little brother make it to Miami, but Lito had to go back to Cuba. Mahmoud family are still looking for Hana, and they are staying with a elderly German couple and the old lady is ... Josef's little sister Ruthie! Ruthie tells Mahmoud that sadly her mum and Josef died in a concentration camp. I made a poster about all of the characters. It was an awesome book!

Refugee Activity Week 7

In class we are reading a book called Refugee by Alan Gratz. See my previous posts for my info. Josef, a boy fleeing Germany in 1939 because of the Nazis, has to go to Cuba because Jewish People aren't welcome in Germany anymore. To get there he takes a giant ship called the MS St.Louis. Here is a brochure I made for the St.Louis.

A little bit more, A little bit less

In my maths group, the Number Ninjas, we have been learning to figure out maths problems by taking away or adding onto the times tables we know like 1,2,5 and 10 times tables. Here is my DLO on a little bit more, a little bit less. Hope you enjoy it!

Here is a link to the worksheet: A Little Bit More, A Little Bit Less Worksheet

MS St.Louis

We are reading a book in class called Refugee by Alan Gratz. Plese see some of my previous posts for more info. One of the main characters, Josef is on the MS St.Louis. Here is a brochure I made about the St.Louis.

Refugee Research

In room 6 we have been reading a book called Refuge by Alan Gratz. Learn more about this in my previous posts. I decided to do some research on refugees. I did this by comparing the life of a refugee to the life of an English person. I hope you like my reading activity!

Keep Our Headphones!!!

                                  Keep Our Headphones!!!!

In room, we have been learning to write a persuasive argument. To do this we used O.R.E.O which means Opinion, Reason, Evidence, Opinion. We had to write a persuasive argument on either we should keep our headphones or we should get rid of them. Here is a link to my writing.

Maths Screencastify

In my maths group, the Number Ninjas, we have been learning to do our 6,7 and 8 times tables from our 5 times tables. This helps us to do them easier and faster. Unfortunately I couldn't get Loom working so I just used ScreenCastify. I hope you enjoy my DLO.👏👶💃😅

Missing Poster

In the book we are reading in class, called Refugee by Alan Gratz, one of the main characters called Mahmoud is going from Syria to Germany because of the war. On a raft heading to Greece, they fall into the water. In a few hours, another boat comes by. They cannot take the bigger people, but can take little baby Hana. When they get to Greece they try to find her. Here is what I think her missing poster would look like. I have included three languages: English, Greek and Syrian.😟😢😔

In class we have been reading a book called Refugee by Alan Gratz. This is one for my reading activities. The reason I did my research on a cyclone is because one of the main characters, Isabel remembers on the boat, while they are leaving Cuba due to the food shortage and are in the middle of a storm, hat her grandmother died in a cyclone. This happened while Isabel was staying with her grandma and grandpa. The reason she remembered this is that the characters are in a big storm. 

Refugee Slogan Poster

I did a slogan for one of my reading activities on the book Refugee by Alan Gratz. The slogan poster is from the saying "Fight against the impossible and win", and the person who said it is Fidel Castro.

Refugee ComicStrip

For my reading activity this week I have made a comic strip including the main characters from the book Refugee by Alan Gratz.

       This is Isabel and Ivan's family       This is Josef's family                  This is Mohumaud's Family

Look into his eyes

This is my Look Into His Eyes writing. We had to make the "Sick Sentences" better.


Look Into His Eyes by Anahera

Refugee by Alan Gratz: Germany fact sheet

In room 6 we are reading a book called 'Refugee' by Alan Gratz. This is my week 1 activity. I did a Germany fact sheet because we could choose from Cuba,Syria and Germany because that is where the character's are from. Josef is from Germany in 1939, Isabel is from Cuba in 1994 and Mahomoud is from Syria in 2015. I hope you like my fact sheet!

Maths Array

 Our teacher instructed us to make a maths array as a sort of carry on of our Dividing With Remainders DLO. Me and Sophie made a maths array full of dividing with remainders questions. The part I like the best is the 94 bananas! Here is Sophie's and my Screencastify.

Ali's Story Re-Told By Anahera

In room 6 we read a book called Ali's Story. We had to write a story about the book and then put it into a slideshow. Here is my slideshow. Enjoy!

Winter Holiday Reading

Hey! this is my winter holiday reading homework on the hunger games by Suzanne Collins.

Reading Plus Progress Term 2

We had to do a screencastify about how much progress we have made in reading plus. Here is my screencastify.

Sid The Cat

My class did a piece of writing about a cat that regularly visits our school, by the name of Sid. We did this because we needed to  learn to write a descriptive piece of writing. Here is a line from my piece of writing and the link.

Line From Writing

Sid is the cat that likes to visit our school. He is called Sid because there is a book in our
class about a cat named Sid, who wanders around and has six homes and has six dinners
which is a lot like the Sid who visits our school.

In Room 5 we have been writing a narrative story, and we had to call it Another Place Another Time. Here is my story link and a line from the story.

Line From My Story

“Uh, that has NEVER happened before!” Aimee spluttered. In a flash they were going down,down,down and down.

“Mama, I’m scared” Clive murmured.

“Me too!” Peter cried.

“Calm down boys, I’m sure it’s …” SPLAT! They hit the ground.
