Lucy Big Paralympic Adventure

 Today I was learning about the paralympic games. As my activety I created a book with a story I wrote about a little girl and her dad who gets to compete in the paralympics.The reason I chose to writ a story instead of facts is because its orginal and I like to be different. I enjoyed coming up with a creative story idea put found it hard to come up with orginal content. Do you know how to create your own book? Here's a link to my story.

The Maths Escape Room

 Today for maths I did an escape room where I had to solve problems that would lead to letters which I would have to add to my code cracker on my answer sheet. I found the math proplems a bit of a challenge because they were word problems. I did enjoy unlocking a phrase at the end though. Have you ever done an escape room?

Sicada Bounce

 Today I was learning about sicadas and their habitat. As an activity we could choose to create either a scratch game or a set of slides and I chose to create a scratch game where a sicada jumps over rocks in a meadow. To start I watched a video on how to create a jumping game in scratch and then I chose my sprites and added code.I enjoyed creating my game adding tweeks to the code but found it hard to make my character jump correctly. Can you use scratch ?

My Wellbeing

 Today I got given the task to roll a dice three times and the numbers it lands on all have a different task that you can do. I rolled the numbers 2,3 and 6. I started with number six and chose to do six situps and you can see me do them in the first video. Then I did number two, the task I decided to was to meditate for two minutes but because thats kind of boring to film I turned it into a tutorial on how to medetate correctly and that's the second video. Lastly I did number three and for that task I chose to learn how to say  2 words and a phrase in Japenese and you hear me say them in the final video. I enjoyed all of these tasks but my favourite was the meditation because it really relaxed me and got me focused. What do enjoy doing for your wellbeing?

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary

 Today I was learning about Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and her life. To show what I had learned I created a set of slides all about me answering the questions my teacher had set for us. First I looked at the questions and put them on my slides. Then I searched for answers on the internet and put them into my own word s before adding a background, images and fonts. I loved learningabout Saint Elizabeth of Hungary because she is one of my favourite Saints for her kind and charitable love for all. Who's your Favourite Saint ?

Great White Sharks

On Monday I was learning how to gather information and my topic was Great White Sharks. To show what I had learnt I created a poster showcasing some of the different bodyparts of a Great White Shark. First I found a good clear image of a Great White Shark and then I started labeling the different body parts of the Shark. At the end I added a Background and a Title. I enjoyed gathering information about Great White Sharks and learning about their different body parts. I found it challenging to get enough information to label every body part. What do you know about Great White Sharks?                      

 

Mary's word cloud

 Today we created a word cloud with words describing Mary and we also designed the shape and colours of our word cloud. I chose the shape of a butterfly and warm coulors like pink, yellow and orange. The reason we created these word clouds is that we have been learning about the assumption of Mary. I enjoyed choosing words for my word cloud but found it challenging to come up with enough to make the fullshape of the Butterfly.

My Six Sentence Story

 Today I wrote a story in the style called Six Sentences in my online writing book. I wrote about a goddess and her power, you read my story below. The style Six Sentences is where you write six sentences to create a story about anything. I enjoyed making a character and giving them a power but I found it challenging to come up with a problem and a solution to the problem. Can you write a Six Sentence story? I hope you enjoy my story.

Plastic Free People

 Today I was learning about plastic and how it affects our oceans but also how to reduce it.

I enjoyed reading about being plastic free but found it challenging to find information about pollution. Are you plastic free?

3D Maths Shapes

 Today, we were learning all about 3D shapes and how to make them. First I played a Kahoot to learn the names for the shapes and then I watched a video about how to create a Pyramid, Cube, Rectangular prism, Triangular prism and a Cylinder. I chose to create a cube out of origami paper and glue. To start, I drew a T shaped net of six squares for my shape and then I cut it out. Next, I folded my paper into shape with a ruler before adding the glue to keep it in place and tada, a Cube.  Have you ever made 3D shapes? 

The Story of Maui

 Today, I learned about Maui and how he found his father. I used book creator to create a retellling of the story.

Heres a link to my story.

Camouflage Chaos🌳

 Today we had a taskmaster about camouflage.We had to create a video with us camouflaged and at  the end we had to reveal ourselves. I decided to hide in a very good spot which I won't tell you but you'll see in the video. I enjoyed camouflaging my self and getting ready to hide but found it hard to decide what camouflage to use. Can you spot me ?

Prayer Space for Peace

To decorate my prayer space I took some of my mums shawls and fake flowers aswell as scented candles and some seashells.The candels smell like plums, rasberies and flowers.I made my prayer space look like land and a flowing waterfall.Tomorrow one of our prayer spaces will be chosen as the class prayer space and the person will get to lead prayers for everyone. Where is your prayer space?

Design thinking for Robot

This week we were learning about robots and artificial intelligence. For this task we had to create our own robot that could do what we wanted it to do. I chose that my Robot should be able to make dreams come true. I enjoyed coming up with a design for my robot but found it challenging to think of what other ideas I could have used for my Robot.What do you know about artificial intelligence?

What does Faith mean to you?

 This term's school value is Faith and for that we were learning to describe Faith and what it means to us. To show this we had to make a title page promoting and describing Faith with Bible quotes and drawings. I enjoyed thinking about what Faith means to me because there are so many ways that Faith is important. I found it challenging to choose a bible quote because there are so many amazing quotes. What does Faith mean to you?

My Summary must Bee Perfect 🐝

 This week we have been learning about how to summarise a text we have read. As an activity we had to make slides with the key words for our summary and our summary itself. I enjoyed writing my summary because the keywords made it easier. I found it challenging to select my keywords correctly and then choose the six most important words. Have you ever written a summary?

Welcome to Japan

This week for reading we have been  learning all about Japan and its culture, food and hinstory. To use what we had learned we each created an individual set of slides with 4 to 6 slides with themes that we got to decide on.

To make our slides the way we wanted we chose a few slides which had been set into the template. After choosing which ones we were going to use we deleted the rest and started writing in the facts about the different things like Japenese food, celebrations and it's animals.Then it was time to decorate the slides with fonts, colours, images and backgrounds and then we were finished.

I really enjoyed finding information about the people of Japan because almost all of the people in Japan are Japanese and only very little move from China and Korea.I found it very challenging to put the information into my own words because there is so little you can change about a fact.

What do you know about Japan?

Japense Pagoda and Cherry Blossem Art

This week we've been learning about the Olympics and because it's being held in Japan we made Japense inspired art while also learning how to blend with pastels correctly. It was inspired by Cherry Blossems and a traditonal Japenese temple called a pagoda and it is also inspired by the Japenese flag because Japan is known as the land of the rising sun. I enjoyed painting my cherry blossems because I think they really brought energy into the artwork. I found it hard to blend the colours because the pastel kept peeling off the paper and making strange dots of thick pastel in some places. Have you ever made a traditonal piece of art?

Welcome To the Olympic's!

 This week for reading we have been learning all about the olympics and it's history. As our activety we had to create a set of slides all about the olympics and it's history.
