Trying To Catch A Feisty Kitten

 Kia ora bloggers yesterday on the 29th of August my sister and I caught a kitten because my nan wanted the little kitten, we were aloud to take the kitten because we asked the person that lived at the house if we could try catch the kitten and they said that we could have it if we could catch it ( he even said that he couldn’t even catch it). We tried on saturday the 28th but we didn’t succeed but the we tried the next day and we got it. We used my cats food to trap it so we could get it. It was hard to catch this kitten because it was a very feisty kitten and i got a lot of scratch and bite marks. The kitten is currently living with us and is comfortable with us petting and holding it. Me and my sister also think that it has a twin and we also think that there is another set of twins that is related to our kitten.

Have you ever tried to catch a animal before???

Shrinking Island Taskmaster Challenge

 Kia ora bloggers in Te Ngahere we did a task master challenge called the shrinking island challenge. The way it worked was we had to get into groups of four and one of us had to go to the teacher and gat a piece of newspaper there was two pieces of newspaper tapped together, there would be different rounds and each round we had to fold the paper and we had to try and stand on it for five seconds while the teacher was watching.  We were aloud to do anything as long as we were standing on the newspaper. This was easy at first but when it got challenging was when the newspaper kept getting smaller and smaller. We were aloud in groups of 4-5 and we chose to do 4 people because it would be easier for us to fit in the paper. My group was Mikaila, Tiana, Alexandria and I, we did not win but we thought we did well. We did another round of this but we did it in groups of three and it was a lot easier because w picked people that had small feet , my group was Tiana, Anika and I.

Going Into Lockdown For A Few Days

 Kia ora bloggers we have been put into lockdown until saturday. There has been a case of Covid - 19 so the whole of New Zealand has been put into lockdown some for longer than others and other shorter than others. This means that we will be having classes using google hangouts, my classes are at 10.00am and 2.00pm. I personally love school this morning I was crying because my aunty wouldn’t let me do my school work because I let her watch her show and she didn’t want to give me my chromebook back. When my aunty finally gave me my chromebook the hangouts were over so I decided to do something else. The next hang out was at 2.00pm so i had to wait, at this point it was like 10.55. I had to wait for around 3 and a half hours to go on our next class. This came to me as a shock when I found out that we were going into lockdown.

Have you ever been into lockdown before or how long have you been in lockdown???

Creating A Short 4 Shot Movie

 Kia ora bloggers in Te Ngahere we made 4 shot movies, these movies could be about anything that we wanted it to be about. We had to include these four shots establishing shot which tells you where the story takes place, a long distance shot to show you where the character is placed, a medium shot shows you more detail about what the character is doing and a close up to show you what the character is doing but at a better angle. We did all of our shots but I think that we might have forgot to do the medium shot, I think that we did the establishing shot and the long distance shot well but  I think that we did the medium shot and the close up wrong. I think that my group did well when we were making our film because we done the close up shot really good but when we did the medium shot it wasn’t really a shot of the waist up, it was sort of a shot of the waist up and then the legs. I think that we could have done the medium shot better because like I before said it had her legs in the shot too, also the close up showed more than it was supposed to. I think that this learning will help me with my movie because now I know what shots that I can do and I can also do more shots too. This took us about ten minutes to do the film but when we were editing we found out that we done the wrong establishing shot so we had to retake our establishing shot.

Have you ever made a film before???

Learning About The I Am Hope Charity

 Kia Ora bloggers on Tuesday the 10th of August we had two people from the I Am Hope Charity  come in to Te Ngahere to  and help us understand Mental Health, he was also talking about how his life changed because of a guy named Elliott. Their names are Tai and Trent, Trent  is Tai’s bodyguard, he follows Tai around in order to keep him safe .  It was very interesting when he was talking about his life story because he was saying that he grew up in a family that he was only aloud to speak when spoken to. My favourite part was when he was talking about his dream about being a professional rugby player and that it came true and on tryouts his dad was on the sideline and he felt confident, he said that they had to practice for the whole week before the game. On the day before the game when they had a runthrough  on how they would play the game and he broke his ankle. I learnt that Tai and the I am hope charity give people free counseling meetings

Have you ever heard about the I Am Hope Charity???

The Amazing Great Marble Challenge Take 2

 Kia ora bloggers on the last day of term 2 we did The Great Marble Challenge Take 2. We did it again because at the end of the first one we had to write a reflection about what we would do better next time?,  how many points we got, did you think your ramp was good?. My group was Charlize and Shivam, we could either make a new ramp or modify our old ramp. We were doing this for the science fair because we were learning about the scientific method and The Great Marble Challenge has a small bit of the scientific method in it. When we got to choose if  we wanted to make a new ramp or modify our old ramp we chose to modify it because we got 17 points the first time but it was constantly landing on three points and two points. It made a  difference because we got 16 points this time. I enjoyed testing the ramps because it was fun when we did the drum roll and found out who was the winners.

Have you ever built a marble ramp before???

Interesting Learning About Dot Plot Graphs

Kia ora bloggers this week in Te Ngahere we were learning about dot plot graphs. It was very confusing while doing this because I couldn’t figure out how to do the dot plot graph right but at the end I found out how to do the graph. It was also hard because there was a question and it had the word range in it and I did not know what range ment so I had to go to that mat with some of the other kids in the class. Before I knew what the word rang meant I was stuck on the question. The word range means how far apart so practically the distance between something. How we found out the range is taking the smallest number and the biggest number and subtracting the lowest number from the highest number and the answer is the range of distinct. I think that I could have made my Graph in my book more clear by using pen and not a pencil so it wasn’t hard to read when I took a picture for my DLO. Then we had to make a DLO to explain how we got the answer to the questions and activities. In my DLO I think that I could have used better words in my DLO and explained what the word range ment better because we had a workshop on what the word range ment and we got told how to find the range, but I think I did not explain it very clear. 

Did you know about dot plot graphs???

    

Interesting Learning About The Science Fair

Kia ora bloggers in for a couple weeks in Te Ngahere we have been working on our science fair projects. My group and I were experimenting about the five second rule ( Does the five second rule affect your health). While we were researching I learnt that bacteria can grow in hotter and colder placer than humans some most bacteria can survive in warm places and other bacteria can grow and survive in cold places. For me it was difficult to make a conclusion because we had to wait two days for our results and we only had a couple more days to finish our presentation. Next time we do this I think that I would do the experiment differently because we didn’t have any agar to see the bacteria but we had to use what we had, we needed the agar so we could see the bacteria grow and multiply. We used our hoe of whanaungatanga to help each other complete our work to a high standard. ( When Nanogirl done her show my favourite part was when she held fire in her hand and when she used the leaf blower to blow toilet paper everywhere) Have you ever done a science fair project before???
