Prim and Proper Paper Planes

Kia Ora bloggers!

In Literacy we have been doing various Science Experiments.

For this test we had to do something involving Flight, and mainly Paper Planes. 

Me and Olivia I decided we'd do the question; "Which model of paper air-plane allows it to travel the most distance?"

We used five planes (Two of which were our own original models)  

How do you make your paper planes? Have a nice day!

Samoan Classroom

  Talofa bloggers,

Since the start of the year we have been learning Samoan.  This is my virtual classroom where I have put all my learning for you to also learn from.  If you hover over items in my classroom, a hyperlink will pop up for you to click on.

In my classroom you will learn about:

Samoa as a country

Link to a traditional dance video

Basic greetings

The alphabet

How to count 1-10 

Information about Siapo - how it is created, some examples

An animation showing a simple conversation in Samoan

MY CLASSROOM

Samoan Greetings (With Herb and Toastie!)

Talofa bloggers!

In class we've been learning some basic Samoan greetings, and were challenged to make an animation explaining the greetings. (With translation of course!)

---

I used Scratch and drew all the sprites and backgrounds with my mouse-pad! I used the character I always use for Scratch (Their name is Herb) and a new character I made called Toastie.

The embed link wouldn't work so I added a link under the image :)

 

Here's the link to my project (dur dur durh durr)

Have you ever used Scratch? What did you make?

Cya!

PARACHUTE, OH PARACHUTE

  Hiya Bloggers! 

How are you today? I'm going to give you a quick rundown on what we are doing at the moment.

We had to make parachutes out of some scrap fabric, string, paper and other materials leftover from previous crafts.We had to lower nuts (The screw kind, not the food!) down on the parachute and try to get the slowest time possible. Me and my group got 2.01s which was really good! We also had really great air control, the teachers said our parachute at least hat the straightest landing! Although we didn't win we did really well.

What materials would you use to make a parachute? We mainly used purple fabric and paper towels.

Have a lovely day/night! 

Magnificent Mashup (Inquiry Edition!)

Kia Ora Bloggers!

This is another Mashup of various things I've been doing during class.

The first one is from Inquiry, we had to use a word art website to make a piece of art with a ton of Global Issues in it, things like: Inequality, Pollution, Animal Cruelty, War, Discrimination, Etc.

This is my art, I chose to make it a globe because, well, Global Issues are all around the world.

Another thing we've been doing in Inquiry is a ton of stuff relating to Mātariki. We had a ton of options of stuff we could do, consisting of Poems, Animation and more. Me, Felix and Isabella decided to make a sock puppet show, only we're animating it and not using real sock puppets. So far Felix has finished the script and Me and Isabella are gonna start animating as soon as possible, although the voice lines I need to animate aren't recorded yet.

When we finish the animation I'll be sure to make a blog post about it! :)

What Global Issue would you be most interested in, and have you ever made sock puppets?

Have an awesome day! :D
