Masters of Noise

Hey Bloggers!!

When reading a book, have you ever been curious about something you were reading, and wanted to find out more to help you understand what you were reading better?  We have been learning about how important this is this week in Literacy.

When we read The Magic School Bus inside the human body’ I formed some advanced questions using ‘how’ and ‘why’.  I made sure they were open-ended questions that would help me understand the book more.  An example of one of my questions was “Why are intestines coiled up?’ and I then researched and found out that an adult's intestine is 7.5m long, so it needs to coil up so that it fits in the body.

Next, we got to chose our own book to read out of our virtual library and we had to form 3 advanced questions about it.  Ours create task this week was to share these in a creative way.  I chose to do it with Renderforest and it was about a book called ‘cicada

I really enjoyed this task as it made me realize how important it is to do this when reading to understand the text better.

Do you ever do further research when you are reading a book to deepen your understanding?

See you next time!

The Maths bot

Hey Bloggers!!
Watch out thiers a maths robot that will teach you about angles, this is my robot what we did was we needed to make a robot and it had to have all the angles and we needed to have 8 of them, the types of angles are Obtuse angles higher than 90, acute angles lower than 90, strait angles 180, right angles 90 and reflex angles but we couldn't have straight angles.

I hope you like this because I think my robot is cool. I used Google drawings to make my robot. Have you made a robot ever before? Then please comment down below and I will soon respond bye.

Secret code - ASCII

Hey Bloggers!!

Today we are learning about Binary and ASCII. 

Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers.  You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it for yourself!  Try watching this video to give it a go yourself!

ASCII is a set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard).  I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code!  Using colors to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image below!

What do you think?  Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII?  Could you have a try for yourself?  Can you work out how to write my initials in ASCII from the pattern above?

See you next time!!

Hide and seek with windows

Hey Bloggers!!!
Can you see what I see there trying to hide the destruction of pollution, what we did was we had to look at these pictures witch is are made from people we had to be in a group of three and needed to write something that would say what this is about, the teacher would tell us when to swap and write about the picture again and again after that we needed to blog it and write our own description about it.

 

I think that this picture is about how people are trying to hide away the pollution and adding windows that look like they may have been what use to be there, but it would be impossible to hide away all the pollution because it’s everywhere and only we can deal with it.






That was my description this will also be on my slide. Have you ever done one of these? Then please comment down below and I will respond back soon bye.

I am very proud of what I have accomplished today. have you ever made your name out of angles? Then please comment down below and I will soon respond bye.

The flower of life or O le fugalaʻau o le ola

Hey Bloggers!!
This is my Samoan Siapo art or cloth it is one of the oldest and most important traditions of Samoa is the Siapo or Tapa.  It is a type of cloth made from the bark of the mulberry tree.  It is very time-consuming because the bark must be harvested, stripped, separated, scraped, and beaten before it can be used.  It is then laid out in the sun to dry.

The artist uses natural dyes, created from items such as berries, bark, and nuts to make patterns on the cloth.  

There are 13 traditional patterns used on siapo that represent things common to Samoan culture such as nets, coconut leaves, shells and flowers. Have you ever made one of these before? Then please comment down below and I will reply back to you soon bye.

See you next time!!

It's so hot!!

Hey Bloggers!!
For numeracy, we have started to learn about angles.

We learned about 3 different angles today - acute (less than 90°), right angle (90°), and obtuse (larger than 90° but smaller than 180°).  We also learned how to use a protractor to measure angles.  We know that we need to measure an angle from a vertice (a corner where two straight lines meet).

For our create a task, we had to measure three different angles on the first letter of our name - can you figure out if they are acute, right angle, or obtuse?
