Participating and contributing

 


Today when the year 7s were at tech, Miss Farr said that we had to pick one of the key competencies We had the choice of relating to others, managing self or participating and contracting. I choose participating and contributing because it sounded like the most interesting one to me. Then we had to make a DLO about what we choose. A DLO stands for digital learning object. 
I enjoyed this activity because I got to choose what I was going to make, I made a slide show.
It was difficult to do this because there were no photos about participating and contributing that can be used.
I hope you enjoyed :)

A green dog named pistacchio

 


Today we did a quiz. My group got 6 out of 20. The quiz is really hard. After the whole class did the quiz Miss Farr (our teacher) said we have to research and put it on our blog about one of the questions. I choose to do the mysterious green dog because I love animals and it is crazy that a dog can turn colors in the wound.
I enjoyed this activity because it wasn't how we do the quiz thing because Miss Farr usually picks one of the questions from the quiz and pick one that is interesting to her. 
It was difficult because we only had 30 minutes to do this.
I really hope you enjoyed it :)

Reading - Task 1

 

Hi all!
Miss Farr said that we have to learn about what sportsmanship means for three weeks. There is some websites about sportsmanship on the class site, here is the link https://sites.google.com/paroagrey.school.nz/whenua-2020/literacy-te-reo-matatini/term-4-reading just in case you want to see what else we are doing.
I enjoyed this activity because I thought if I was a bad or a good sports player. I found out I was a bit of both because sometimes I get out of control.
It was difficult because think of ideas for what is a good and bad sportsmanship.
Hope you enjoyed :)

Exploring the setting - Novel - Under The Mountain

 

Hi everyone!

This is another novel study activity. You have to write the place and time the story was in. And some other questions that are at the very top of the picture.

I enjoyed this activity because it was easy when I looked at other peoples blogs because at first I had no clue what I had to do but I couldn't ask for help because these activities are homework so I just had to go look at other people in my class that are in my group blogs.

I hope you enjoyed :)

Exploring the Plot - Novel - Under the mountain

 


Kia ora, Hola everyone

This is another one of our novel study activities. This activity is when you have to write all the important parts of the story.

 I enjoyed this activity because it made me think of the important parts of the story.

 It was difficult for me to remember what happened in the story because I have started a new book so I am getting mixed up of what story is what.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Exploring the Theme - Novel - Under the mountain

 


Kia ora all!

This activity was one of my activities to do for our novel. You had to answer the two questions that are at the top of this picture.

I enjoyed this activity because it was easy and fun because it made me think about the book more, and how much time Maurice Gee (the author) spent on this story.

It was difficult to make the questions in our own words but it was easy to make the answer our own words because there wasn't even anything that we could copy.

I hope you enjoyed :)

EK News Video About The Ohau Fire

 


Kia ora all!
Today we had to do 20 questions about what is happening in the news. After that Miss Farr (my teacher) chose one of the questions that sounded interesting. She said we had found everything about the Ohau fire. After we got all our research we could either make a news report or be a news reporter with a buddy or not. I did a news video with Eden. Which one would you pick?
I enjoyed this activity because it was funny because we kept on messing up in funny ways.
It was difficult to decide where we were sitting and when we found where we were sitting, we had to bring the table and chairs. Miss Farr said that whoever has the best video or news report gets 10 minutes of free time, she said if you work with another person you both get 10 minutes free time so Eden and I worked together.
This activity was so much fun.
I think other classes should do this as well.
Hope you like the video :)

Exploring the character - under the moutain - novel study

 




Kia Ora all. 

In term 3 Miss Farr (my teacher) said we had to read this novel called under the mountain by Maurice Gee. She gave us a list of things to do will we read or have finished this book. This activity is when you have to create pictures of the main characters, which are Rachel and Theo. Then write information about the main characters. 

I enjoyed this activity because I got to make a picture that looked like the main characters.

I thought getting information was hard because I forgot some information in the book so I had to find the right information about what I want to write.

I hope you enjoyed :)
