Learn a MAGIC TRICK by watching this video!

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour! How are you? Hope you're doing amazing during the summer or winter break. (depending on where you live). 

This is a Summer Learning Journey activity for the 16th of December even though I am doing it on the 17th. I was so excited to see this on the Summer Learning Journey blog because magic looks so interesting to learn. I did the step it up activity. We had to watch an instructions video on what to do with this slide that we got to put our video in. Then it said that we have to watch this video of someone teaching us magic card tricks. There were three in total and we got to pick one. I choose to do the one that she explains in the middle. I choose it because I didn't want to get salt or crumbs everywhere and the other trick looked like it was going to take too long to record a video to teach. I used Screencastify to record my video and the limit amount on filming time is five/5 minutes. I enjoyed this activity so much because I showed my family and they were confused. This was difficult because I couldn't remember what side was supposed to be flipped on. The right or left side.

I hope you enjoyed :)

Summer Learning Journey - Day 1 activity - Ring Glider

This is the first video to watch. 

This is the second video to watch.

Kia Ora, Bonjour Hello! How are you? Hope you are doing amazing.

This is the first Summer Learning Journey activity. This activity was actually for yesterday but I didn't finish it. I tried making a ring glider yesterday with goose paper (spare paper) so I can know how to do it without wasting expensive paper. The two colours I choose to do were yellow and orange because it reminded me of summer! I choose to do a ring glider because I have never made one before and it looked interesting to make. Today I decided to make a video, teaching other people how to make a ring glider. I found out that if you point the little ring first and the big ring behind then it goes faster than the other way. I enjoyed this activity a lot because I go to make something that can fly out of Paper and we also got to make a video teaching others. This was difficult because I was using Screencastify instead of We video. Screencastify had a limit of 5 minutes recording so that is why I have two videos. 

I hope this video and blog post can teach you how to make something you didn't know existed. (I know I sure did!)

I hope you enjoyed :)

Paralympics - Lesson 9/10

 

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello everyone! Hope you are having an amazing day!

This is another Paralympics lesson. This is the last lesson for this whole Paralympic activity. First, we had to brainstorm ideas of what an ad tries to do and where you can find ads. Then we got to make an ad for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. It was really fun to make and I am really proud of myself. I enjoyed this because it was fun to make the video because I like to make videos and I do it a lot. This was difficult because it was hard to think of places where ads are because I could not really think of that much for it, but I still really enjoyed it.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Katelyn News - Lisa Adams - Quiz

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

Hello, Bonjour, Kia Ora everyone. How are you?

Today we did a quiz. My Mum and I did it. We got 10 out of 19 questions right. It was fun to do the quiz. Miss Farr said that we had to make something out of one of the questions. One of the questions was about Lisa Adams with her winning a gold medal. We got that question right because I just remembered that she won a gold medal, not silver or bronze. I decided to do Lisa Adams because the Paralympics is on right now. I made a Katelyn news video. I decided to do it outside because it was sunny. Max (my dog) was in the video too. It was funny when I was asking him what he thought of this act and he tilted his head. You couldn't really see him do that in the video though. I enjoyed making this video and find stuff about Lisa Adams. 

I hope you enjoyed :)

Paralympics

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown. 

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. How are you?

Miss Farr (our teacher) has given us things to do while we are learning from home. Today`s activity is to do a quiz then pick one of the questions and research about it. We were allowed to do the quiz with our family. I did the quiz with my Mum. We got 14 out of 20 questions right. I choose to research about the Paralympics because at school, we have already researched about the Olympics so I thought that it would be cool to do the other Olympics. I made a video and a google drawing. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to make the video and google drawing. It was also fun to learn about the Paralympics just in general. This was difficult because I could not find that many pictures of Trischa Zorn-Hudson (famous Paralympic athlete).

I hope you enjoyed :)

Ghost Cities - Tianducheng, China, Replica of Paris

 

Hi. In New Zealand, there is a lockdown. Which means that it is online school again. Before lockdown, at school we have been learning about ghost cities. We had to pick a ghost city from this website. I choose tianducheng in China, it is a replica of paris. Then we had to make something to teach others about it too. I made a slide show, News report, Video, Podcast and a website. I am really proud of myself and happy that I have made all of this so that people can learn in different ways about tianducheng. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to learn about something different because in class, we usally do not research about ghost cities. This was difficult because this work was due tommorrow and all I had was a few things on the website and a facts. But I tried my hardest to make all of this. On the website I was trying to put the podcast that I made onto it but it was not working. I hope you learnt something from this. 

Here is my website that I made https://sites.google.com/paroagrey.school.nz/tianducheng-replica-of-paris/home

Start of Olympics - Podcast - Google Drawing - Video

 

Hi! Kia Ora! Bonjour!
How are you today? I hope you feel amazing!
As you know, the Olympics is happening right now in the world. The Olympics is a sporting event. At school, Miss Farr (our teacher) said to research and make something to teach other people about the Olympics. I made a podcast, a video and a google drawing.  I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to make the video and video. It was cool to learn about it when it is going on around the world now. This was difficult because I was trying to get a lot of information about the Olympics so I can teach other people. 

I think you should make something to teach someone about the Olympics.

I hope you enjoyed :)

Max VS Batman - Wevideo

 

Hi! Kia ora! Bonjour!
This morning I made this video because I got this idea of a batman toy vs my dog. I got this idea because I gave Max (my dog) one of my old toys because Max loves to chew stuff and we recently got rid of Max's old toy because it stank and fluff was coming out. I thought that this would be really fun to do, and it was. I enjoyed this because the way Max bit batman's head, it wasn't planned. I was going to have them face off but then Max just took one look at batman and was like, yay toy! This was not difficult, I recorded this on a phone so it was easier to film instead of my Chromebook. I should of tried I bit more so the camera did not see my knees. This was really fun. You should try this one day.
Hope you enjoyed :)

Inquiry - Potential and Kinetic Energy - Podcast - Katelyn Podcast

In class, we have been learning about any type of energy. We got to choose our own type of energy. I choose to do two types, Potential and Kinetic energy. I choose to do Potential and Kinetic energy because I feel really intrested in that kind of stuff. We reaschearched for a while about this topic. When I gathered all my information, I made multiple of different things. One of the things I made was a podcast. I enjoyed making this podcast because I like to make videos about my learning. This was difficult because I thought that it was due Friday but it is due Monday because I was worring a lot but now I am fine. 

I hope you enjoyed :)

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. 
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.

I hope you enjoyed :)

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.
Hope you enjoyed :)

Summer Learning Journey - Pigpen turtioal video

I decided that I wanted to make a video to teach people how to do pigpen writing because I like doing it. This video is getting posted today because I was trying to make it good and it took a while. I enjoyed making this video because it was fun to teach people stuff. It was difficult because I wanted music but you could not really hear my voice.

I hope you enjoyed the video :)

By Katelyn.M

Merry Christmas!

Do you know how to do pigpen?

What is one thing that you learned from my video?

Summer Learning Journey - My Sound Maker

 This activity is when you watch a video about Nanogirl talking about different sounds. Then we had to make our own sound maker. I made a platform then three different sizes in tubes all made out of paper. When I finished making everything, I tested it out to see if it works. It doesn't but at least now I know that it does not work and you do too. We had to make a video about how you make your invention. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to experiment on how to make sounds. It was difficult to think of something that makes sound and to video it because you can barely hear my voice.

I hope you enjoyed it :)

By Katelyn.M

The things you need to make this is:

Four Sheets of Paper

Tape

EK News - T-Shpaed Literacy - Activity Five

 For this activity, we had to make an artwork, dance, song, or whatever about whatever you want but it has to tell a story. I choose to do a video about the environment. The story I did was that we need to take care of the environment more. I did this with Eden because we have a show called EK NEWS which stands for EDEN, KATELYN NEWS. I like doing videos with Eden. When we are older, we hope we can have an actual news show. It will be so much fun.

I enjoyed this activity because I like making videos because it is so much fun. When we were recording this video we messed up and a building was walking past and said that it was good. Eden and I were both embarrassed. 

It was difficult to film the video because we kept on messing up, but it was funny. My favorite part about this video is the bloopers because we had so many because we messed up lots, I had to get rid of some bloopers so the video does not go on for so long.

Hope you enjoyed this video, I certainly did! :)

How to play soccor video

 Hi everyone!

For the past weeks, we have been writing scripts for a game that we want to teach others to play. I chose to do soccer because it is one of my favorite games is soccer. Yes, I know the camera is bleary ut I could not do anything to fix it. If you know how to fix it pls tell me in a comment. 

It was difficult to make this video because people did not listen to me and people were fighting over what roles they wanted to be in. It was a disaster.

I enjoyed this activity because we got to make a video on whatever game we wanted to make it of. 

I think you should try this to it is so much fun. My favourite part is the bloopers.

Hope you enjoyed this video

Capture the flag video

 

Kia ora all!

We had to make a video about a game called capture the flag. Capture the flag is a good game, My class and I have played this game lots of times. We made this video so we can teach others how to play this game. I suggest that you should lay this amazing game.

It was fun to make this video because Eden is such a funny person, she kept on saying that she was a calming referee and that she wanted me to say in the credits that the calming referee was Eden but I didn't I just said that she was the referee. 

It was difficult to make this video because we lost some footage of when you have to do 5-star jumps but that is fine. We just had to make this video with what we had.

I hope you enjoyed the video :)

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 :)

Spider Hedgehog Hunt - For The Juniors

Today Miss Highgate (The principle) had a mission for the seniors. I wanted to do the mission. The mission is, that the seniors had to read a book to the juniors on camera. I read, Spider Hedgehog Hunt. The thing that was the most difficult for me was to see the words in the book and flip the pages. The thing that I enjoyed was getting to kind of read to little kids again. The thing that was the easiest for me was to read the words because I have been reading chapter books all self isolation with hard words.
Questions:
Have you ever read Spider Hedgehog Hunt?
Are you scared of spiders?
