Homeschooled for three days!!!

 Hello I am a year 5 at wainui beach school but this week I have been sick  Monday,  Tuesday and Wednesday. I've been doing my work from home. It was kind of like being in level 4 again to be honest.  But I loved lock down because I could wake up whenever I wanted and stay in my pjs however long I wanted as well. So it was pretty good if you ask me.  This is some of the work I've been doing at home...

First I wanted to get my quick writes done on Monday so I could have time to write this blog today or Tuesday. Me and my mum have been going on a walk every day when I've been home and we've just been going to the beach and back. The walk only takes about 10 minutes but yesterday me went down the steps to the beach and the bottom step was very slippery... As we walked down I SLIPPED luckily mum caught me. Then when the waves were building up we ran up the beach. I hope today we don't get spayed.

There is a down side though. Today me and my class were going to make automata and I was really EXCITED but, then I got sick so I had to stay home. The thing is I've been home since Monday and I've been doing all of my work from home too. I hope my team enjoys making our automata today. Me and my team were going to just use one cam, the cam that we were going to use was the circle cam because we're new to this stuff too. Me and my team were going to put a tornado on top.

Writing instructions

Hello this week I have been learning about how to write detailed instructions. We last focused in on graffiti. Me and my friend Millie made our presentation together. Now we've started instructional writing and so far I am enjoying it. I think I enjoy it because it's kind of like I'm coding a robot and that I need to make it exact or the robot will do something else. When  Millie, Cornelia and I tried to directed each other it didn't work out so well.

Today Koka Terri read my writing group (Room on the Broom.) After that we all had to  group up  and write a set of instructions. The three rolls were the bot,  the writer and the debugger. I was the debugger, Millie was the bot and Cornelia was the person who write the set of instructions. The debugger also read out of the instructions. I the debugger also has to underline anything that doesn't go to plane.

All the other teams did great and one team even accomplished the task that we had to do. The task was, koka terri placed the witches hat on the painted  snacks and ladders. She also put the witches bow on the ground. It was very difficult but I loved being the debugger because I got to tell Millie what to do and  I think that Cornelia  did a great job writing instructions. Even though we didn't succeed I still enjoyed it .  

 

Maths

 Hello, this week i'm writing about math and how I had a wow moment in my math workshop. Yesterday I helped my teacher. I helped Alice, Rio and Charlotte A. In my group we've been focusing in on algorithms. I think that we're all sussed with our addition algorithms but I think that i'm good at subtraction algorithms too.  Koka Terri said that its way easier to use algorithms to figure out a question and I think that it is too.

I found myself in the learning pit when my group started figuring out questions with zeros. So I asked koka Terri how to figure out the question and after she explained it to me that was when I had my wow moment. I felt like it all made sense now but it took time and when I got a piece of paper with some questions. When I checked my questions with addition (which koka Terri taught me how to do) I GOT THEM ALL CORRECT!!!!!!  

So now i'll talk about how she taught me to check my work. I thought that it was going to be very complicated but it actually isn't. All you have to do is you see if you answer whatever you are taking away or adding together and if they equal the same as the top column. So I hope you liked my blog this week and please write a comment or some feedback.  

NETBALL!!!

 Hello, I love playing netball with my friends and classmates. Two weeks  ago my team had our practice on wednesday Charlotte's mum Jennine and I found it super fun and I've learnt alot scene then. My preferred position is center because I have to run around and pass it to the attack players that are in my team. I'm very happy with my team and I hope this week we win. I think that were playing kaiti school.

In week one my team faced Awapuni school and I played 3 quarters out of four. In that game I play C, C and D. The score was 6, 11 and they won but I still had a great time. I even got in the newspaper and I was defending a very good shouter from Awapuni school. I think it was a great game to play because we got a taste of what were up against. Our shouters where Tillie, Dillen and Charlotte M.

These are my teammates Kayla, Millie, Tillie, Nina, Charlotte A, Charlotte M, Rio, Alice,Dillen, Amber, Keylane and me. I think that was it but who knows ? In my opinion I think that Tillie and Kayla are great shooters but everybody has a tallent . I love netball  because it gets my adrenaline up and its my favorite sport.  I hope you liked reading my blog and have a good rest of the week.
