Beneifits of Exercise

 

Hi These are the reasons why excersie is good.

That was my caption that I did write. I write such a bad caption because this was actually a timing post. Our class and Taiao (the older kid class) ran the 4Js (a track to a shop and back) then when we all got back we had 25 minutes to research, make and post on our blog about fitness. I fixed it but the title used to be Benfits of Exercise. I spelled it wrong. I enjoyed this because I found out a lot of cool facts like if you do exercise then that makes you sleep better. This was difficult because I was pressured by the time limit.  Maybe next time I could write a better caption. Eden (My friend) and I think Grace (someone from Taiao) both won, The teachers (Miss Read and Miss Farr) could not decide. They got 2 little blues and house points. A little blue is something you get if you did amazing work or showed the 4cs. Connected, Confident, Creative and Caring.

Tokelau Coconut Oil - Katelyn Podcast

We are still learning about energy at school. This is another one of the activities. We had to make a DLO about how Tokelau makes their energy. We had to read two articles and one of them was about Tokelau. A DLO stands for Digital Learning Object, so something that is on your Chromebook. I choose to do a podcast because I have never done one before. It was actually really easy because then I did not have to worry about what I look like. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to try and learn something different. This was difficult because I had to end up having no music because then you could not hear me but that is fine.

Persausive Writing - Postie Plus

 Dear Grey Districted Council,

My name is Katelyn and I think that Greymouth needs a Postie Plus because then we can have more quality clothes. It can be at the place where the old Postie Plus was. Posties Plus has a lot of sizes, make people happy and lots of sales.

Postie Plus has a lot of different sizes. They have women's, men's and kids. They try to have all sorts of different styles in a lot of different sizes so everyone can express themselves with their clothing. Postie Plus will allow you to return clothing if it is not the right size then they will probably have your right size.

A lot of people were really sad that Postie Plus shut down. Then if you open a new Postie Plus is here then it will make lots of people happy and surprised. Postie Plus waves friendly and will serve you wonderfully.

Postie Plus has lots of sales all of the time. They have a lot more stock than other stores. A kid's flannel PJ has been from $20 dollars to $10 dollars. The clothes are 36 percent cheaper than last year. From $12 dollars to $6 dollars. 

That is the end of me explaining why we should get a Postie Plus in Greymouth. I hope you consider my letter to you. And we have to go all the way to Hokitika to go to a Postie Plus.

From Katelyn.

Hello, Kia Ora, Bonjour!

In class, we have been learning to write persuasive writing. We practiced by writing a fake letter to Trish (The PTA Leader) about getting a rock climbing wall. We got to choose what we wanted to write about. I choose to write a letter to the Grey District Council about having a new Postie Plus here in Greymouth. I like to go to clothes shops and Postie Plus is one of the shops that we go to. I enjoyed this activity because I like to write persuasive writing. It was difficult to find benefits about Postie Plus because the links kept on taking me to the shop to buy clothes. But I found some facts.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Adding and Subtracting Video - Katelyn Class

 

Kia Ora Tangata Katoa! Hello everyone! Bonjour tout le monde! 

Kei te pehea koe? How are you going? Comment ça va?

This is one of our activities for maths that we do in class. We had to learn how to add and subtract decimals, then make a video to teach others. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun because I never really knew how to add and subtract decimals but now I do. It was difficult because I did not know that you are not meant to say 89 I thought it was eighty-nine but it is actually eight nine.

Literacy - Brainstorm

 

Kia ora Everyone!
This is another reading activity for literacy. We had to answer these two questions. How do wind and sun affect your daily life and what activities do you do engage the energy of the sun and wind. Then we watched a video as a class and made a brainstorm as a class. The teacher told us to put the things that we writ in the brainstrm to this activity. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to find out a few more things about wind and sun that I did not know from my other classmates.

Energy - Video

 

Kia ora everyone!
This activity is when you had to watch a video about potential and kinetic energy. We watched it as a class but I watched it again because I did not understand it. We had to answer these 4 questions about potential and kinetic energy. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to make notes in my book and to take the picture. I made a picture because I could not find a picture that I was allowed to use. This was difficult because I did not really get it but after a while it was starting to make sense.

Energy Vocabulary Map Task - Positive Feedback Loops

 

Kia ora everyone!
We are learning about energy. This activity is when you had to research about positive feedback loops. We write the things that we found out when we researched. We also have to get a picture. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to learn about positive feedback loops. This was difficult because I could not find a good picture.

Energy Word Map - Negative Feedback Loops

 

Hello everyone!
In class, we have been learning about energy. I am in the Kiwi group and we are reading a book called feedback. Once we have read a bit of the story, Miss Farr (My Teacher) said that we had to make two other energy word maps. One about Negative Feedback loops and one about positive feedback loops. We got to do anyone first then the other one next. I choose to do the negative feedback loop first, I do not have a reason why. I found this activity difficult because I could not find any cold pictures that were available so I had to make it but that is fine. I enjoyed taking notes and reading the book because I like doing it.

Energy Word Map - Solar and Global Warming

 Kia ora everyone!

In class, we are learning about energy for this year. One of the tasks is an energy word map. Next to the goggle drawing, there is a word bank of different energy words. You can pick 1 - 3 words. I choose to do Solar and Global Warming. I enjoyed this because it was fun to make pictures and take notes from websites for information. It was difficult to find information because there was not a lot of information I could find.

Energy - Compare and Contrast chart

 

This term we are learning about energy. For this activity, we had to read two articles about energy. Then write down what is different about them. If both of the articles have the same thing then you put it in the middle. I enjoyed this activity because I like to read. I found this activity difficult because there was not that much information that I could find.
Hope you enjoyed :)

Pool Of Knowledge - Reflection

 

In class, we had to get in your house groups (my house group is yellow) and make a pool of knowledge about what we know about energy. Then we had to make a reflection about what we know, about what we learnt and about what questions we have about energy. I enjoyed doing this activity because it was fun to work as a group and share it with the class. It was hard because I do not know that much about energy.

What Now - EK News

 

My class did a quiz. Miss Farr (my teacher) said that we had to make something about how What Now had their 40th year anniversary lately. Eden and I choose to do another Ek News video. I enjoyed making this video with Eden because it was fun and funny because we are friends. It was difficult because we kept on messing up.

Persausive Writing - Is living in the giant city more lonely then living in the middle of nowhere

 Living in the middle of nowhere is more lonely because then you can't talk to anyone but living in a giant city would be lots of possibilities to make friends. If you live in the middle of nowhere then you can't make new friends because no one is around. You can't stop someone's car if they are driving because you could die if they run you over. That is the reason why living in the middle of nowhere is more lonely.

WALT: Write a persuasive paragraph.
We had to choose a topic about something to write about that is persuasive. I enjoyed this because I like to persuade people. It was difficult because I choose a hard topic.

Maths - Circles

 

In class, we have been learning about circles. for the past two days, we have been looking at the circumference, radius and diameter. Miss Farr (My Teacher) said that we have to measure circles that we can find around the room. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to find circles then measure them. It was difficult because I don't really understand how you get the radius and diameter. I just did half of the circumference for the diameter than half of the diameter for the radius. Eden and I measured the same circle but we got the same answer.

Blogging Contract - My Hobbies.

 Hi Everyone!

On the class site, we have a thing called a blogging contract. This blogging contract has a lot of activities to do. I choose to do My Hobbies. I do not really know if running is a hobby but I do it so I put it as a hobby. It was difficult because it was hard to think about what hobbies I do but it was fun at the same time. I think you should try this blogging contract one day because it is really fun. 

French - New Caledonia

 Kia ora everyone!

On Tuesday every week at school we do Te Reo and french. We do Te Reo for a little bit then we do french. For french we had to learn create and share about a place that speaks French. I choose to do New Caledonia because it is the closest one to New Zealand. I have found out that New Caledonia likes to dance and listen to music on holidays. I enjoyed making this because it was fun to learn about New Caledonia and all the traditions that they do. It was difficult because there was not that many facts that I could find.
