Learning Journey Day 7

Today we are still learning about New Zealand. For the first activity we have to write 3 things we could do to help New Zealand and make it beautiful for generations to come. For the second activity we have to take a picture of ourselves doing something we find relaxing. For the bonus activity we have to write a description or make a video about our week and what we enjoyed, what was challenging, what we did, what surprised us and what we learned.

Fun On Design App

Today we had to draw a picture on an app called DesignApp.io. I made my picture using different shapes and colors. I made a tree and a pond using circles and rectangles. I chose this because it was the first thing that came to mind. The most challenging part was changing the colors of the shapes. The easiest part was making the lily pads. The most fun part was making the tree because I got to use all circles for the leaves.

Coding

This term I have been doing coding every Tuesday afternoon. We had to use Scratch to create a maze. We had to learn how to use all the different pieces to make our sprite move. To learn the different tasks each week our teacher Mrs Jack put videos on while we were sitting on the mat, the man explained everything we needed to know in lots of different videos, we watched one video every Tuesday. To get the maze background we had to go on a website called David Bau. Me and my friend Paige made 2 mazes because we went to a student toolkit a couple of weeks ago. The most challenging part was trying to make the maze background PNG from PDF. The easiest part was making our scratch accounts.

 Scratch Link

For the second activity we had to write the three out of four things we would like to do from New Zealand's Matariki festival.

Uru Manuka Student Tool Kits

On Wednesday a group of people went down to Hornby Primary to share our tool kits. My tool kit was on coding.  The thing that went best for me was presenting, because I managed to help all three of the people I was teaching in some way.  I think maybe next time I would like to present in front of more people that three. Maybe next time I could talk a little bit more. My favorite presentation to watch was Voki voice because we got to create our own Voki charactor. The hardest part was creating an animation in the space of 45 minutes.

Our first task is to look at adopting a New Zealand native animal and say what the animal is, what it eats, what its name is and something about the animal. The second task is to say why we should or shouldn't kill possums and give at least 3 reasons why. This is the Moa's foot I created today. We had to draw a life size more foot and make it look as real as possible.

Netiquette Is Nice But Etiquette Is To

1st Steps

Last week in Mr Maddrens class we made a Mind Mup about do's and don'ts for using the internet. This is called netiquette which is net and etiquette combined.

This week In Miss Morgan and Mr Maddens class we added a bit more to the Mind Mup that we have been creating. The first steps were to read the dos and don'ts. The next step was to Think of two reasons why we should or shouldn't do it and why. We watched a video and made a video note from it and then we used the notes to help us create our Mind Mup. The most important part of netiquette is that when you are talking online it is no different than talking to someone face to face.




This is my DLO about netiquette. It has some different things to do with netiquette like being kind online, think before you send and re-read before you send. The most challenging part of this was making the DLO because the internet wasn't working. The easiest part was writing the because's.

Do you have any feedback for me?
Because it will help me make my posts better.
