Challenge Cards - Perimeter

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown. 

Miss Farr (our teacher) has given us a lot of challenge cards to work our skills of perimeters. I took a screenshot of the challenge cards and put them on a slide so that I can put them on my blog. Most of this was easy in my opinion but one question I did not even read it probably, I was thinking too much of multiplying instead of adding.

I hope you enjoyed :)

Paralympics - Lesson 2 - History of the Paralympics movement to Japan

 

New Zealand is still in Lockdown.

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. How are you today? Hope you are all so amazing.

The New Zealand Paralympics team made this slide for schools around New Zealand for kids to complete. It has questions and articles and videos and lots of cool stuff. It teaches us about the Paralympics in different and fun ways. Yesterday I did the first lesson. Today I did the second lesson. This lesson is all about the history of the Paralympics and the movement to Japan. We had to think of three things that are different compared to the 1964 Tokyo Paralympics and the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. Then we had to read this article. We had to find words that we didn't really understand and didn't know what it meant. We had to google it to find out. The words that I did not get were Impairment and Rehabilitation. It made a table that had a box for the word, a box for what I think it means and a box of what it actually means. After that, there were some questions to answer. I am not so sure that I think I got all the answers right but I tried. When all the questions were answered, we had to choose one from the bottom questions and explain why we choose to do disagree or agree. Then we had to make a paragraph on how the Paralympic Games were set up. I enjoyed this activity because I learnt a lot of interesting facts. This was difficult because it took a while and one of the activities was to have a class discussion. We are in level 4 at the moment so when it is level 2 then we can have class discussions again. 

I hope you enjoyed :)

Paralympics - Lesson 1 - 1964 vs 2020

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

The New Zealand Paralympic team has made a slide for schools in New Zealand that kids can complete. They have sent our school this slide. It has 10 lessons about the Paralympics. This is the first lesson. We had to write down 5 things that we know about Japan. Then we had to watch these 3 videos. Video 1 Video 2 Video 3. We had to take notes to answer the then and now questions. I wrote these two activities on paper then put them on a google doc. I took a screenshot of it and put it on a google drawing. The next thing I had to do for this lesson was to create an infographic. I made a bar graph explaining how many people are in the Paralympics in the two different years, 1964 and 2020. The purple bar graph is the year 2020 Paralympics and the yellow bar graph is the 1964 Paralympics. 1964 Paralympics had 378 people competing and the 2020 Paralympics is 4,537. I wrote it on top of the bar so people would know too. I enjoyed this lesson because it was really fun to do everything in this lesson. This was difficult because I was going to make the bar graph on my Chromebook but I couldn't remember how. I emailed Miss Farr (our teacher) saying that I could not remember how to make it on my Chromebook. She said that I could do it on paper so that solved that problem.

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 :)

Basic Fact Challenge Cards

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. How has your day been?

Miss Farr (our teacher) has sent us a maths slide to fill out. I tried really hard to get the right answers right, I am not sure if I got all of them right. This was difficult because some of the questions were really hard. 

I hope you enjoyed:)

Key Word hunt - Boy on a bike

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

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

Miss Farr (our teacher) has sent us stuff to do while we are in lockdown. For Thursday, we have to read this online book about a nine-year-old boy who biked the length of New Zealand. He raised $7,000 for St Johns. This book is really cool and it is such a nice thing to do. After we read the book, we have to summarise the story. Summarising means that you are retelling the important parts of the story/book. Then we have to think of keywords/phrases of the book. After that, we have to use those keywords/phrases to write a brief summary. This was enjoyable because it was fun to read the book and to write a brief summary. This was difficult because I could not think of that many keywords/phrases. I think you should do something like this too because it is really fun and it is teaching you how to summerise.

I hope you enjoyed :)

History of dogs

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. I hope you are all having an amazing day.

Miss Farr (our teacher) has sent us stuff that we need to do this week. If we have finished all our work for the day, then we can do a can-do. The can-do for today is to research about the history of dogs and to make a slide to teach other people about the history of dogs. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to watch the video (the video that Miss Farr told us to watch) and actually find out about the history of dogs. My second favoutite animal is a dog. What is your favourite animal? This was difficult because I could not find that many good pictures, but that is fine. I think you should try this. Pick an animal of your chocie and research about it.

I hope you enjoyed :)
