Blog Post Analysis Reflection

Since May

The beginning of the year. 

This year, everyone in LS2 had a goal to achieve before the end of this year. My goal was to get too 1,100 blog post. Sadly, I haven't achieve my goal. I think its because I've been leaving it as a DRAFT and not posting it. The highest amount of blog post this year was January ( during the summer learning journey). The lowest amount of blog posts this year was this month (2 blog posts). The first year I started blogging was on 2015. I have been blogging for 4 years. 

Tesselations

This week during Maths, we have been working on Tesselations. We were given 3 or more different shapes to make as a pattern. I decided to go with the T shape. I made 3 or 2 patterns. I decided to go with a mix of dark and bright colors. During Maths, we have been working on rotation, translation, enlargement and so on. 

Instagram advertising

This week LS2 have created on Instagram of advertising our rainbow crayons. Today is our school gala day that starts at 2:00pm - 3:00pm. Each class in our school is selling a item between 1 - 3 dollars. And this is not a real instagram post. If you were wondering how we made this look so real, we used a template but changed it too make it look real. 

Athletics day 2019

This week was our Interschool Athletics Day. Lots of students from different schools took part. It was a really fun day on Wednesday and competitive day at the same time. We had some good results from each person, that was doing Athletics. If some people were confuse about what time to go to there event we had 2 posts on each side, with the times. I took part in the 100 meter sprints and came 2nd in heats and 1st in finals. I was really nervous on the day, because I was going against fast people that won alot of sprint events this year and last year. In the morning block the boys had there sprints events and, the girls were doing the field events. In the afternoon we switched ( boys to field events and girls to sprints).

Show dont tell

Small pieces of rocks, grass and stones stuck in me isn’t such a pleasant feeling. The pain being inflicted on my body hurts badly. Stepping on poop smells DISGUSTING and UNCOMFORTABLE!!! At this point I couldn’t bare to breathe with the unbearable scents surrounding me. Falling into a nasty, smelly, puddle made me soaked and smelly!! I’m starting to think that my only source of food is the stale bubblegum stuck to the floor with each step my owner took on them. Gross…  Does my owner even have eyes? Each step my owner took was on one of the most disgusting parts on the ground (puddles, poop, bubble gum and rocks). I’m yearning for the day when I get brought back to the shoe store...

Written by | Nyjah and Chavda

This week during Writing Nyjah and I have been on show no tell. Our story was based on shoes that were about the 5 senses. As a peer we were pretending to be a peer of shoes that had those 5 senses. During this challenge, LS2 were given a challenge to sit back to back with our partner. In our peers we wrote 7 sentences or more. I found it really easy to do this because Nyjah and I had similar ideas for this topic. 

Reading Presentation | The Great Plague

This week I have been working with Joel on The Great plague. Today each peer or group presented there presentation in front of the class with a DLO, slideshow or a Kahoot. What I found interesting about my topic is, once a person passes away a red cross is drawn on there door ( if someone or people have passed). In our slideshow we did a timeline, summary, video ( as an example) and drawings of what it looked like back in the day. I felt really nervous presenting in front of the class while talking, but I tried my best to get over that fear. What I enjoy the most in this presentation was creating the drawing ( slide 5 ).

This week during Maths we have been learning Transformation. As a class we were able too choose a 3 shapes in google drawing to put together. I decided to choose a circle, square and rounded rectangle. With the 3 shapes we chose we did Symmetry, enlargement, rotation, reflection and translation. For translation I made it into a gif that made my shape move to a different spot. 

Foodprint

This week in the afternoon Michal the owner of Food print business has been active for 6 months. She came in to talk to LS1 and LS2 about enterprise, for our Inquiry topic. Did you know, that 20 million bread is wasted every year in New Zealand (more than NZ's population)? Before she created food print she planned on the logo/ name. For her name, it took her for months to figure out a name that was short and bold. For the logo/colors and the designs her team created 4 choices for her. 

If you would like to download the app, remember to write down: Food print.

To know the rules we were given Instructions to read carefully, here is a reminder: to always check your inventory and the price list. We were given two dices to use for this game. One of the dices were blank White. In vivid we wrote J for Juggling balls. B for bungy sacks and H for hacky sacks.

Woodwork | Tech 2019

This week during Tech we have been working on our Woodwork designs. For my design I decided to go with a piano. I am still working on getting the correct measurement for my design. What I find hard to doing at wood work is getting the correct measurements because if we don't do the correct measurements our wood work design is going to fail.

This week I have been working with Angela, on the 2019 RWC Stadium Capacities DLO. Before we started our DLO's, we were able to work in peers or in a Trio. As a class we were able to choose, a question that was solved in our Maths books. We chose 49,970 of 3/4 question. How we solved this problem: 49,970 ፥ 4 = 12,493.5 then 12,493 + .5 = 12,494 x 3 = 37,478 (that's how we got our answer) .. The question was (If International Stadium Yokohama only half filled. How many spare seats would there be)?

Early Maori Enterprise

This week during Inquiry I worked with Florence, Fui and Victoria. As a class each group had a chance to say there syllables out loud that had 5 sentences. I found it so scary presenting my syllables to the class. The first text at the top was our original one, but then changed the sentences into 5 sentences and the syllables into 10.
