Explain Everything ( Dividing Using Place Value )

Hi everyone, this is my Explain Everything on using the strategy, dividing using place value. I did do a mistake, but the answer is in where I said 50 remainder 2. I forgot to put the answer in, but it won't stop me from making more impressions for my Explain Everything.  Hopefully, I make a better Explain Everything throughout the year. I hope you enjoy!!!

Planets DLO

Hi everyone, this is my Planets DLO. It took me and my group really long. As long as we collaborated together, we get a good result. I hope you enjoy my DLO. It also includes the Sun and Pluto just to make it really cool, just as if they were apart of the Solar System. I'm also looking forward to seeing my comments on this blog post. Thanks for watching my DLO and Enjoy !!! :)

Space DLO

Hi everyone, this is my Space DLO. My class and I was learning about space this whole week. We learnt that how the world is spherical. Also learning about space investigators like Ptolemy, Alhazen, Copernicus and Galileo. Hope to see you next time on my new post.

ANZAC Thinglink

Hi everyone, I made my thinglink about ANZAC. I had a little bit of trouble, but had the help by Evanjaline. I haven't been posting lately, maybe next time when something is exciting, I will post really good things that happened with me in the weekends.

Term 2 2015 Week 1 Reflection

Hi everyone of the world, Welcome to Term 2 2015. I have enjoyed this full week of school. It has been so fun with fitness and basic facts tests involved. Anyway, this is my reflection on what I've learnt about World War 1 and ANZAC day.

Reflection

What:
I learned that there was vets that came along for the 2,000 horses, making sure they’re not sick. Also the trenches were deep they had to use some ladders to climb over the top. I've learned that maybe some of the enemies weren't bad to the New Zealand and Australian soldiers.

So What:
We learnt a lot of things about ANZAC, because we were thinking and suggesting of all the brave soldiers that fought at war. Also we were learning to get ideas on what ANZAC is all about. ANZAC is the most important day, so we had to search more information on what ANZAC is.

Now What:
What I'm going to do is research on other things that happened in World War 1. Even though, it will be challenging, I’ll still make a presentation or DLO on everything I found out in 1914 World War 1. Also I would probably read a lot of books from a library and learn who took over the no-mans land.  Maybe I could create a dawn parade.

Explanation: How to survive your First Night of Minecraft

In Week 6 of Term 1 our class focussed on how to write great explanations. We wrote about how to survive your first night in Minecraft (the game a lot of us are obsessed with!). 

Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

Hello Everyone, 

This is my word cloud on my explanation. The word cloud is my explanation on HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT OF MINECRAFT. I hope you enjoyed and be in touch for more posts on my learning throughout the year.

Begin Writing Here: HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN MINECRAFT

Have you ever played minecraft and don’t know how to survive your first night? Well it is pretty simple, I will tell you how to survive your first night. Minecraft is a creative game with really cool creatures and figures.

First of all, you need to collect wood from the trees to create oak wood planks. Collect dirt from the ground to create a house with extra blocks. With the oak wood planks create sticks and resources to help you survive though the mobs that come  in through your house. Quickly collect cobblestone to make a furnace and crafting table. Then build your house. Either build your house on a flat surface or on a mountain. Use the dirt that you mined in the beginning to create your house with extra blocks.

Secondly, create wooden tools like swords, pickaxe, axes, shovels and maybe a hoe ( if you want to build a garden) . After that you need to have a crafting table and a furnace so you could create charcoal and cooked food. My first tip for you is to have a chest, crafting table and a furnace at all times to store and create new things. The pickaxe is used to mine cobblestone, coal and many other cave exploration. An Axe is used to mine wood and wood planks of any kind. The sword is used for you to protect yourself from mobs.

your shelter with either your dirt or your oak wood planks. You can build your house where it has a beautiful view from the mountains. Kill 3 sheeps to collect wool, and break more wood to make oak wood planks. Have a bed ready for night to sleep and carry on from the day till morning. Remember to have food ready for your hunger, because if your hunger bar is depressed you will expire and will have to respawn.

Generally be ready for the night and make torches with coal and sticks. Have it ready to have light in your house when it darkens. Make sure you have your sword ready in case the zombies break in through your door. Mine the sand to smelt later for the glass. Add and frame your roof and door to have your house secured when it is night time.

After you have secured and surrounded you house, sleep or take a nap. You have now survived the first night.

2015 Term 1 Week 4 REFLECTION

Hi everyone, This is my Week 4 reflection what I did throughout the week and why I did it. Also saying what are my next steps. I have enjoyed typing a lot and I'm going to see you later.


What:
McCahon Class and I was doing a spelling test on “ing” words. We were going through what we were doing  today. We took a note taking workshop with the whole class, also doing an activity on how to take notes. McCahon Class and I was taking notes on what happens on Chinese New Year. It was easy and fun at the same time because of all of the concentration and chatting. Also we were doing art on putting paper mache all over our koru patterns we did in Week 2. Even though we were doing reading in groups, we were creating a goal for the term. All of us were working on the author’s purpose.


So What:
Well, we were doing a spelling test because it was friday and we had to practise them as our homework. The reason why note taking skills was a workshop for us was because of all the people that were copying and pasting. There is 3 reasons why copying and pasting is bad. One: It is plagiarizing. Two: The work you are plagiarizing on is not yours. And Three: You might not understand any of the words.

Now What:
Looking for clues around the text in case of the high level vocabulary in the text. I can make an educated guess ( Not any random number) . Finding a lot of evidence to support myself with my learning.
