The differences of the Olympic timelines.

Talofa Lava Bloggers. Welcome to another 1 of my blog posts. Today all of our subjects at school have been based on the Olympics. For reading we had to make a DLO which stands for Digital Learning Object which is sharing your learning using Digital things like a Google slideshow, Book creator, Google drawing and many others. Today I made a google slide show. We had 3 main questions we could choose from and texts which were "What makes the important features of the Summer Olympics". "How have the Olympic games changed since the Ancient Olympics, Modern Olympics and the Present Olympics". or  "What is happening for NZ at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics". I chose the 2nd question which was  "How have the Olympic games changed since the Ancient Olympics, Modern Olympics and the Present Olympics". I made a DLO telling all the facts that made it different. If you like to look at it, you can read it using this link of my DLO: Reading DLO. If the link doesn't work you can read this instead:  

Thank you for reading this blog post, thanks a lot if you read my slideshow! I hope you enjoyed reading The differences of Olympic timelines and this blog post. If you want or would like you could comment on what you thought of my Reading DLO. But that's just a suggestion, anyway have a great day or night and blog ya later!

My Pixel Arts.

Talofa Lava bloggers, today I would like to share with you pixel arts I have been working on. I was gonna post this on December 14th but I got scared that the teacher would get mad at me and I just forgot about it. About 7 months later here we are! I finally found this, I've made some new 1's so you can say in the comment what you think was better. If you don't know what pixel art is. It's like a grid with a bunch of little squares were you could fill it in with a colour that you want. in the olden days, pixels were actually used to make these things called "sprites" (A thing used to animate) and I decided to make some of these sprites so here we are. These were from the Mario and Sonic franchise because these are my 2 favourite fictional characters. MADE BY ME. MARIO AND SONIC CHARACTERS OWNED BY NINTENDO AND SEGA haha. Man that's very cringy. Lets-A-Go

                                                         Also Sonic

                                                                                                                                      (Say which 1 is better)

Procedural Writing.

 Procedural writing

Talofa Lava bloggers, welcome to another one of my blog posts. Today I would like to share my procedural work we have been doing. If you don't know what procedure is. It's when you tell someone using a set of instructions how to play a game or build something. But in this case, it was a game. The game I chose was Chess because I knew how to play that game and I was far far behind. 

The 1st thing we had to do is a plan on our game which was basically writing snippets of writing like key words or the main parts. If you know how to play Chess, you'd probably guess that you would have to read a lot of words to know all the strategies to do and how to do it. So I left that part out, when we had done our planning. We had to make a google doc and write a full set of instructions on how to play Chess or whatever your game was. A lot of people in my class chose cultural games they have been playing outside. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get to play the games. People had a lot of steps but we also had to add some sort of conclusion on how we've went with the game. I had 5 very long (according to my knowledge) steps. Then I added a conclusion on how good I am at that game (Which is very mediocre). If you don't know how to play Chess and you would like to know how to. Here's a link because it's very long Chess Procedural text

Thank you for reading my blog post. If you want you can comment on if you learned anything from my procedural text. Anyway have a good day or night and blog ya later.

S.T.E.M Week, Waikowhai Student Led Toolkits.

 Talofa lava bloggers, Today I will talk to you about our Toolkit's at our School. If your in an Ako Hiko School. You would know we had a Toolkit a few weeks ago. So Mr Riceman (The Tech Teacher kind of) and my Teacher Miss Daly decided to have our own Toolkit at our school. We did it because it was S.T.E.M week. If you don't know what S.T.E.M stands for, it stands for Science,Technology,Engineering and Maths. This time it was with everyone including the Middle school. This was on the date 11/06/21 Or June the 11th 2021 on a Friday. The presenters were the people who went to Toolkits. Which was a total of 24 people. We were sticking with the apps we chose the 1st time. They chose their Toolkits by going through a google form that gave you 3 choices per Toolkit. There were 3 different Toolkits, the presenters got to go to 1 Toolkit each. But the presenter's got put into a random Toolkit. I was presenting google slide animations (which was the best one obviously) with my friend Brayden. 

The 1st Toolkit we were presenting, this was gonna go on until our morning tea. We had 18 people attending to our Toolkit. We had a Slideshow explaining what to do, and we showed it with everyone. I had butterflies in my stomach. So me and Brayden started to explain what to do. Then they had to make their own animation. We put on a 15 timer bomb and they started animating. We told them to make a google slideshow. A lot of them needed help. We showed them what to do and over time, they started to become more independent. When the timer stopped, we asked if anyone wanted to share what they have done so far. Most of them did... Except 1. Some of the animations made us laugh and some were very good. My favourite 1 was when a car crashed into a house and the house flew. All credit goes to Anthony for creating that animation. Even me and Brayden got to show another animation we created in the Weekend. My one was about Among us and Brayden's was about Henry Stickman. Paige got to show 2 of her animations she made. They both looked really cool! When the morning tea bell was about to ring. The people from the other Toolkit came in and looked at some of our awesome animations. Ms Sands was in here and took somephotos of us helping people. Here is our slideshow on how to animate. 

For our 2nd Toolkit we were presenting once again. This time we only had 11 people attending. This time I was more confident because I had done this before with more people. We showed them what to do and showed them our examples. It was mostly people from the Middle school so we were everyone where. But then I was helping everyone until I started to focus on helping this 1 girl because she really didn't know what she was doing. Brayden was going around helping others, The bomb exploded but we decided to add extra time because these people were a bit more confused then the people from our last Toolkit. We gave them a extra 9 minutes and when it exploded once more. People started sharing their animations, I had 2 favourite animations in this Toolkit. One was when a Basketball didn't go in the hoop but then it bounced on the ground and then it landed. The other was when this guy was running away from a car and then bombs flew from the sky and killed the person. But it suddenly ended when a bell rang. 

My 3rd Toolkit was finally not presenting. I was put into Spheros. Cole and Caleb were presenting that Toolkit. They introduced themselves and then gave us examples on how to control Spheros. Then they told us to go on an app called Sphero Edu and click on sign in. Luckily we were already signed in. Then click on connect robot. Then if you have a Sphero, you would see a bunch of random letters and numbers show up and click on 1 of them. Then your one should light up a little time after. We could control our Spheros with WASD or use your mouse to drag it. Since I am a Master (Or so I think I am) at typing so I chose WASD. It worked and it was very cool because I had only done this once but with an Ipad instead. We could do courses or go outside and control your Sphero. I had a buddy and while I was controlling the Sphero. He would run after it and pick it up. I didn't decide to go to do the courses because they looked way too hard. There was this one group who tried to make it up a ramp with their Sphero. In the end they succeeded but it fell (oof).

At the start I was really anxious and scared. While time progressed through the 1st Toolkit, I began to get more confident. During the 2nd Toolkit it was a piece of cake to me because everything wasn't chaos and there were less people which made it better. That's why I liked the 1st Toolkit better because I like action. The last Toolkit was meh because I wasn't presenting which was pretty boring. 

Anyway thank you for reading my blog post. If you want you can comment on what you thought about our Toolkit and if you would want to do one if you could. Anyway have an Awesome day or night and blog ya later!

Ako-Hiko Toolkits 2021

 TOOLKITS 2021

Talofa lava bloggers. Today I would like to share with you a very exciting trip about our student led Tool kits on 20/05/2021 (The 20th of May). If you don't know what Toolkits are. It's when the teachers choose a bunch of students to go and learn how to play on sites and apps on your chrome book.

We all traveled by car going to Owairaka School. When we came in most of the Ako-Hiko School students were already there. We sat in our seats and waited till approximately 9:30 Mr Margetts came and welcomed us all and told us what this was about and which classes we were going to. A fun fact is that we were the only Ako-Hiko schools in NZ to do Toolkits. We went on a Ako-Hiko site and I saw my name on "Room 8" Which was coding in Minecraft. The people that were presenting were named Caleb,Sarah and Robel. They told us what to do. They told us to go on their slideshow showing the link to the hour of code game (Here is the link if you want to go the site) Then they said to choose a journey. Each journey is different and unique. I chose the Minecraft designer journey. Where at the end of the journey, I could program my own game. Each Journey has their own intro depending on what the type of scenery the journey is. P.S If you scroll down, you can see that you can play Minecraft education edition (If you are allowed to download it).  After the Intro you'll get a tutorial, basically a guide on how to play the journey you picked. After your tutorial if you scroll up it will show you what you will have to do. Then you'll have to code it. For Example my one said "Move the chicken, click on the code  ("Move Chicken (the direction)" After that you will have to make it through all of the levels. I'm not really sure what the endings to all of the journey's are but I'll leave that up to you ok?? After that we had a 15 minute break. Sooooo that was basically the 1st subject I did.

The 2nd Subject I did was "How to Animate" Which is what I presented with my buddy Brayden to try to get into Toolkits but we didn't present it... probably because someone was already presenting it. It was in room 23 but I was struggling to find that class until someone finally told me. I couldn't know their names because I was so late. Even though I wasn't there for a long time I'll try to explain the best I can. The 1st thing we did was create a slideshow in your drive. Then you'll create a background using either an screenshot of an image or draw it using lines. After that you'll have to create your characters. You can either create a stick man using lines or use an image again. Then create a new slide move your character slightly to look like it's moving. Maybe you could also make speech bubbles to make it speak. That was a different way to what me and Brayden showed. Then when you think your done you can give it a title! My one was named "Plane Crash" Where it was when a plane crashed and this guy was gonna fly into the air and land in a coffin. But I couldn't get to finish it. After that we had another 15 minute break.

Here is a photo (sorry it's blurry)

After our next 15 minute break I had to go to room 8 again for my final app I was gonna learn whichwas...... Kahoot!! Kahoot is a quiz game where you can create quizzes for your friends. Or if your a teacher for your students about what you have been learning recently. The people presenting this Toolkits names were Malia,Tina and Mele. If you want to make a Kahoot just type in "Kahoot.com" It will take you to a site and you should click "sign up" and press continue with google when you make it to that place. But the 1st thing we did was play a Kahoot about Matariki. The start of the Maori New year. I learned a lot of things there because I didn't do very good. I still managed to snag 7th place though because none of us really did anyway. Somebody in our school actually came 1st. His name was Martin. They said we could make a kahoot about Movies,Tv show's, games or even your school. I did one about my school. I started of with some easy ones like "do we wear uniform at school?" or "How many years do we stay at our school?" Then when we have finished they would show us all how to play with our friends. Which I already knew because I've done this once at home with my family. We all created Kahoots and obviously I won all of the Kahoot's my siblings made. We did this for about 30 minutes and then we stopped and went back into the hall.

When we came back to the hall Mr Margetts came and talked about a company named fusion. Which was a company that a guy named Tim (The guy who fixes all our chromebooks) worked for. Then 2 brothers came in and told them how they got in fusion. For the most part they just loved technology and then got in an internship in fusion and then got a full-time job there. After that they finished their speech and Mr Margetts came to say thank you and goodbye and that was the day of the Toolkits 

Thank you for reading this blog post. If your from an Ako-Hiko School and you went to Toolkits. Comment on what you did for when you went to Toolkits. Have a great day or night and blog ya later!

 

A day with Miss M'Grath

 Ki Ora Everybody, welcome to another one of my blog posts. Today the year 6's went on a trip to a place called Spark Arena. I'm a year 6 but unfortunately I didn't come because I wasn't here all last week to return my notice. The teachers had to go (obviously) So we had our Deputy Principal. Miss M'Grath.

The first thing we did was talk about our well being survey we did last term. But that was kinda not related to what we were doing and plus it was kinda boring. So we'll skip that part, OK? Next Miss M'Grath turned on some music and we had to start walking around. When it stopped. We budded up in pairs and said one thing we were grateful for? She turned it on again we started walking again and you get the point. The people I budded up with were Savanna (My sister), Tehani and Abdullah. One of the things I said was grateful was "I'm grateful that my dad took me to school today".

We finished that and then we started talking about what to do if someone was bullying or being mean to you. Then we started to make fortune tellers that at the end, had nice messages to compliment and Encourage you. Only 2 of us knew how to make it so Ms M'Grath had to show us one step at a time. When we were done, we could show other people the messages we wrote. One of the things I wrote was "Have an Awesome day!" We did that until the morning tea bell rang which I had to ring because one of the year 6's normally would have to ring the bell.            

Heres a photo of my fortune teller. 

Also a photo of my messages.

Sorry that you can't see it very well D:

If you want to make a fortune teller here are the steps.

1. First you get a square piece of paper or a normal one and then fold it diagonally like this. and do the same thing but with the other corner. If you used a normal piece of paper you can cut th(turn down your brightness to see more clearly)

2. unfold the piece of paper and you should have a cross on your piece of paper. Then you fold the piece of paper in half. One from side to side and the other from top to bottom. (You actually do not need to do this but it was one of our steps)

3. Fold the paper from each corner to the center. Do that with all of the corners. The paper should look like this now.

4.The next thing you gotta do is do the same thing on the other side but fold it with the other side of folded paper too. When you are finished your paper should look the same as the other side.

5. Fold your piece of paper in half and put your thumb and pointing finger in one side and your other thumb and pointing finder in the other sides. 

6. Your done! :D Put 4 colors in your first half. Unfold your piece of paper and it should look like the photo on step 4 but with folds in the middle of each folded piece. After that you can either color in using 8 colors or write numbers from 1-8 and then you can write messages inside the 8 folds and then use it for your friends! :D

After morning tea we had SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) and then we got into a circle. It was not an ordinary circle though. It was called a Compliment Circle. Here's how it worked. One person started off saying a compliment. Then the person who got complimented went next. Then the process got repeated until the last person came. The last person Complimented the person who went first. My compliment was to Dustine which was "I liked how high you hit in tennis" Because he did a very high shot in tennis during morning tea.

A little bit later the year 6's came back and they told how fun it was... I wasn't jealous totally not... Anyway thank you for reading my blog post. If you want you can comment something you liked about my Day! Have a great day or night and blog ya later!
