What I thought about the Matariki quiz

Matariki quiz
This Matariki quiz is to test you, to see if you know what Matariki is.
After I completed the quiz I had to write 3 things I learned from the quiz.
I enjoyed the quiz because it taught me something that I did not know about Matariki.
I got 6/10 correct.
1. That Matariki is not a star constellation
2. That Matariki happens in May, June and July
3. In a car, it takes 4.8 billion years to go to Matariki in space.

Should kids be allowed to chew gum in school

Today we had to pick something from the blog contract. This Friday (we do a blog contract every Friday) I choose the question, should kids be allowed to chew gum in school. I enjoyed doing this activity because it was quick and easy to do. I found this hard because I have never really thought about this question before.
Hope you enjoyed

My letter to past self

My letter to past self

To past Katelyn.

I am now finally at school again with all of my friends. We are in level 2 right now. At school we have to sanitize our hands. I wish that covid19 was never here. On the first day of lockdown I was so scared and I didn’t know what was coming. My family and I only shopped only online. We talked to my friends and family on the phone. Every morning at 9:30am the whole class goes on hangouts. Miss Farr tells us what to do for the whole day. Our activities are still on the class site where they are usually. If we missed the meeting Miss Farr would record it and put it on the class site.  I was in lockdown with my Mum, my Dad, my brother Jason and my cute little dog Max. When we were eating dinner we watched the news and found out that we were going in level 4. I had know clue what level 4 meant. My Mum and Dad said the level 4 means that we have to stay in our house for 6 weeks! When we found out that we were going in level 3 I was so excited. We are finally free from lockdown. My family and I still shop from online only. We don’t go out much, Mum and Dad take turns going to work. My Mum goes to work while my Dad looks after me and Jason. When my Mum comes home from work Dad goes to work. 

Sincerely present Katelyn.

My Caption:

This week we had to write a letter to our past self in lockdown. The thing that I enjoyed the most was that I got to have a whole week to do this letter and I planed this letter first. The thing that felt the most difficult for me was to do fast.

Area of Irregular Shapes

Today for maths I learned about irregular shapes. Before I started this activity I had to watch this video. Irregular shapes are not like triangles and squares. Irregular shapes have different parts. The parts have numbers around the shape. You have to times (x) the numbers.
The thing that I enjoyed about this activity was the question's from 1 to 4 because they were the easiest. the last 6 questions were harder. I was getting confused about the last 2 questions because they had grey shapes in the shape.

My Ecosystem

Today I had to make an ecosystem. An ecosystem has bacteria, rain, animals and plants. Like the world. My ecosystem has snails, ants, worms, plants, dirt and soil. My ecosystem also has a lake. I am very proud of my ecosystem. I enjoyed making the ecosystem because I am doing something new! It was difficult finding the animals. The thing I did to solve this problem was, to put my ecosystem outside for the animals to come. (It worked!) I went outside and saw a snail going to my ecosystem, I thought about how snails are slow, so I got 2 leaves to help it out.

Changes in Ecosystems

Today for literacy I had to watch a video then we answered these questions. I added something else for fun. There is a website about the Great Ocean Clean Up. The thing that felt the difficulty was to answer the question, how have people influences the pacific ocean. I felt proud of myself when I finished this activity.

Comparing Aquatic Ecosystems

Watch this video
A quiz
Today for literacy we had to watch a video, then we had to fill in this activity. When we were finished we took this quiz to make sure that I have learned something. I got 6/7, comment how many you got.
I enjoyed taking the quiz. The thing that felt the most difficult for me was to finish it in time.

Possums

Today for literacy I had to read a book about possums. I could either draw or create something with possums. I choose to draw the things that eat possums and a possum. When I took a picture of my drawings you can't see the writing so I had to write over it. This is the second time of me drawing a possum before in my life because once at school I had to draw a possum for my activity, the possum was on a tree. Sorry, I can't show you a picture because I don't know where the picture is, it was years ago.
Questions:
Have you ever drawn a possum before?

Hoverboard

 I am so happy! You might be wondering why I am so happy. I am happy because I got a hoverboard! I was so excited when it came in the mail. I saved up for a long time for this. We ordered it a week ago and got it a week later. I thought It was going to take months to get here. But NOPE.

Questions:

Do you have a hoverboard?

If you do, What color is it? 

Ecosystem

Today for literacy I learned about ecosystems. I enjoyed this activity because I didn't know what an ecosystem was but now I do, you do too. The thing that felt the most difficult for me was the three last questions. Hope you learned something.
Questions:
Before you read this did you know what an ecosystem was?

Squaring Numbers

Today for maths, I learned how to solve problems like this 5²
People think that 5² is 5x2 but it is not, It means it's 5x5. The thing that felt the most difficult for me was to write this caption. The thing that I enjoyed the most was the questions I knew because they were easy.
Questions:
Has your teacher (or parent if homeschooled) given this question?

New Zealand Puzzle

My Mum and Dad brought this New Zealand puzzle from the Warehouse. We did it in one day. The puzzle is 500 hundred pieces. The thing that I enjoyed the most was at the start when Jason and I tried to find where we have lived. The thing that was the most challenging for me was doing the puzzle.
Hope you enjoy :)
