Family koru art

Hey Bloggers!!
This is my koru design made out of play-dough, I did three designs and had to make each one out of play after that I then had to show it to the teachers, after that I had to choose only one of my koru designs to make and I choose this one the four korus represent my family like my mom, dad, brother and me.


As you know I used play dough it was hard to make the shape of each koru but it all worked out. This design is the one that I'm going to use to make my nickels and once it's finished I will have a big smile. Have you ever made one of these? And it's called bone carving but were not using bones and don't forget to comment down below.

See you next time

Climate nightmare

Hey Bloggers!!
Climate change it's real it's serious and only we can solve it this is my global problems slide, we first had to make a word art and we had to add global problems in it we needed to make the word art look like a global problem, on the next day we had to make a slide and put our word art in it after that we needed to have at least 4-5 videos but I only have four for the videos we also had to take notes of every video we did but we first had to choose only one global problem and have videos about what those problems are and I did my slide on Climate change.


For my videos, I choose four types that are part of climate change like fossil fuels, global warming, climate change  and warming oceans and I found these videos on youtube. Have you tried changing things that can be eco harmful? if you have then please comment down below and I will hopefully respond to your answer.

See you next time guys and stay eco friendly. 

Lonely man

Hey Bloggers!!!

This week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell.  When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences. We want to show them - not tell them.

For example, Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realized he had just missed the bus.  But instead, I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away.  Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realized that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now”  You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated.


Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man.  We used Adobe Spark to do this. 

Have a look at my video and see if you can make some inferences about what I have written.
Do you think the elderly man is happy?

See you next time!!!

#HappyMathsDay!!

Hey Bloggers!!!

For numeracy this week, we have been learning about grid references and we have been working on 4 and 6 digit grid references.

We learned that we read across the bottom of the grid first (Eastlings) and then up the side second (Northlings).  

Our task today was to look at an aerial map of our school, write down the 6 digit grid references for the letters that our teacher had put on it, and then go in hunt of those points.  At each point there was 1 or 2 letters.  Once we had them all, we had to come back into the hub and unscramble the letters to figure out what it spelt.  The secret sentence was ‘Happy Birthday Zoe’ and we came fourth in the race yay.

I really enjoyed the task.  Have you ever had to use grid references before in real life?  What was it for?

See you next time guys!!!

The Cranky family show

Hey Bloggers!!

This week we have been looking carefully at making inferences when we read or watch something. 

An inference is when we take clues from a text or image, and add them to our thoughts or prior knowledge and make an inference. 
What’s going on in this picture? Look closely at the image above or view it in a <a href="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/04/17/learning/VTS04-20-20LN/VTS04-20-20LN-superJumbo.jpg">larger size</a>, then tell us what you see by posting a comment. On Thursday afternoon, we will reveal more about the image and its origins at the bottom of this post.
For example,  when I look at this photo, I might make the inference that
this photo was taken in a food factory as everyone is wearing hair
nets and this is required in all food factories.



The text that we read a snippet out of was ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl.
Once we had read the first few chapters where they described the main characters, Mr. and Mrs. Twit, we then had to make some inferences based on the clues that Roald Dahl had given in the text.

I used Google Draw to create a display of my inferences I have made about Mr. and Mrs. Twit.  

Have you read The Twits before?  Do you agree with my inferences? What inferences would you make about the characters?

See you next time!




Tommy bee maths!!

Hey Bloggers!!


For Numeracy this week we have been looking at compass directions.  We have worked on reading maps using the 8 main directions - North, South, East, West, North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West and then we moved onto using Beebots and our knowledge of compass directions to get a Beebot through the grid to various locations I had to fix some problems but It works now.




We had to program the Beebot with our own algorithm, using forwards, backward, turn right, turn left and N, S, E, W.  It was important that we regularly tested our algorithm to check we didn’t need to debug (find a problem and fix it).

Here is an example of my algorithm:

Have you ever written an algorithm for something?  Have you ever had to use a compass for something?

See you next time!!!

The wild

Hey Bloggers!!!
This is my weird-looking tiger as you can see it has stripes and it is round, this is a Friday task called Rollin wild you probably have seen the videos now I am going to be telling you all the part and what can or can't this animal do, This tiger has a round body covered in strip It has a long tail with no stripes my tiger has chubby legs the tiger would have a hard time hunting for food if it was round and wouldn't be able to drink water but my tiger would be able to land on it back instead of legs.


Yes, I know what you're thinking it is weird but I still like and this took a while to make I very glad it's good and not an egg. I used Sketchpad to make this drawing it's a website where you can get stamps or make shapes it can be hard though coloring things. Have you seen or draw something from the video rolling wild? Then please let me know by commenting down below and have a wonderful day bye.

Maths attack

Hey Bloggers!!!
For maths, we have been learning about volume and capacity volume mean how much space an object takes up and capacity means the total amount of liquid in an object so their both different things, So the first thing I did was volume what we did was we measured the length, height and the width of an object form our house and then we add up measurements until we get the answer, for capacity all we did was we got around an object that can hold liquid like a bottle or a bucket when we measure volume we would put 3 at the end of the measurement the three means cube if we did capacity we would use milliliters or ml for short.


I am proud of what I have done I now understand what capacity is and volume I got confused at first but now I understand alot. For my object to measure I used my crystal growing box which still hasn't been used. Have you done volume vs capacity? then please comment down below and I will respond when I have time bye.

See you next time!1



Literacy - Beware of the bio video

Hey Bloggers!!
This is a bio video on Roald dahl for literacy we were doing a biography on Roald Dahl we had some choices of how to make our biographies like a video, poster or a website when we choose the one we wanted, we then had to add facts about Roald Dahl and they had to be true we had to have one image of him but I have two and we had to include, at least 1 quote from the book going solo and then we added why you should read going solo.



This was my first time doing a bio video I think, but I am proud of what I have made and achieved. The website I used making this video is render forest because you can add more words in it then Biteable. Have you ever done a biography on one of Roald dahls books? Then please comment down below and enjoy the video bye. 

See you next time!!

Roald Dahls - great survival

Hey Bloggers
I have an amazing animation for you let's get started in literacy we have been reading a book called going solo by the one and only Roald Dahl, the chapter we have been reading is called survival were he crashed a plane he survived but he did have really bad injuries. He went to South Africa for the shell company and of course his many adventures to come like the planes, In the first chapter of the book it was funny and weird, and then out of nowhere came an officer who made him join the RAF to fly in WW2!!!!!.



I have recreated the part of when he crashed the plane in animation I could've made a comic but animations are easier. have you read the chapter survival of going solo by Roald Dahl? The please feel welcomed to comment whenever you like bye.

Goats In the City!!!!

Hey Bloggers!!!
Have you seen goats in the city? Well, 5 goats have been spotted in the city of  Llandudno the goats were mountain goats which are supposed to be on the mountains but came into the city in lockdown, this is my video that I made about the goats in the city so enjoy.



I did have some words that don't make science but I did fix all of that so it's all good. I made this video using Biteable a website where you can make videos. Have you seen any animals in the city? Then please type a comment down below and I will hopefully respond soon.

See you, next time Bloggers.



The crazy city

Hey Bloggers!!!
This numeracy work yay this is my city that I made using the area as you can see I have a fire station and police on too I also have a church, 4 sky scrappers and more on each building there will be numbers to show you the area of that building and I had to make sure I put them in the right places.


The tall buildings were hard to do mostly because I didn't have space to put the text box and also because they needed to be 4m2 and I didn't have much space but I did well after that. I used google slides to do this Mrs Osborn made this slide called the accountability slide witch is cool. have you made you own city using the area? Then please leave a comment before you go.

Have a wonderful day Bloggers!!!

What lies in the darkness

Hey Boggers!!!
Have you ever heard of the black mamba? well then come and have a look on this slide were you will learn about this snake, if you are afraid of snakes then I am guessing you won't be looking on this slide but trust me you may soon like snakes for those of you that do like snakes I'm guessing you will be looking on this slide to learn about this snake. This was literacy work and we were reading a chapter book called going solo the chapter with the black mamba was chapter 2 I think, so we had some choices of what we could number one was I could do report number two I could do animation and number three where I could do a drawing but I choose number one the report.



It was hard for me to find the information and also to find websites I can trust but I hope this is all true and not fake at all. I didn't get this information from any websites except for one but I don't remember what the website was called. Have you seen or done an information report on the black mamba? Then please comment down below and I will answer your questions soon.

See you next time!!!!

The sea tiger

Hi Bloggers
Today I have been doing a lot of things like this art piece which is mine. The task was about making up an animal by drawing what you want and then we had to name it, but I just drew an animal that does exist called the tiger shark and it doesn't look like this one in real life I didn't draw this by myself I did this by watching a how-to video of making a great white but I changed the shark into a tiger.


I would try and change this into something like a loch ness monster or squid but I feel happy for what I've done and I hope you guys like this piece of art too. To make this I used paper, a pencil, coloring pencils a rubber and a how-to-draw video and that's how I made this. Have you drawn a made-up animal and named it? then please comment down below and let me know if you have any questions just ask me thanks bye.

See you next time!!!
