My other StopMotion

 I made another stopmotion by my self so I decided to put it on my blog. Here it is.

Cybersmart GIF

 Today Phil taught us how to make a GIF. We had to make one about cybersmart. Here is the one I made.

What I did in the weekend...

 Today for writing I had to write about what i did in the weekend. I had to use similies and the challenge was that we have to write at least 95 and the most words you can write is 105. Here is my writing.

This weekend, I was busy. I had a test on my language on Sunday so on Saturday I had to practice a lot. The whole day from 7:00 am to 10:00 I was doing practicing for the test.  I was tired as a slug. On Sunday, I woke up early and I was ready to do my test. I did my test. I was really confident and I think I have done well in the test. My mum is happy it is over and she gave me some free time. But now I have another test…

Our StopMotion

 Me and Charmy were working on this Stop Motion project for a long time, and we are finally done.  We worked so hard and half of the time it got deleted. We were so happy it was finally finished. This is the stop motion video below.

My Online Colouring Book

Yesterday I was doing some art that Phil had told us to do. It was on a google online colouring book.They had pictures and we had to colour them in. There was a button you have to press to see the original picture and then you can use the colours below to colour it in. Here are some photos of what I coloured in.

(This is a blog I didn't pulish. I did it a long time ago) Marble Run

 On Friday, Marble Run with my dad. He did the drilling for me. We made it with cardboard and an old drawer. I decorated it. It took a long time but it turned out good. It was part of the Art activity for our class.

Here is the photo for it.

Stop Motion animation

 

Yesterday we were working on making a stop motion about Kindness. I was working with Charmy and Reuben. We had lots of fun. Me and Charmy did some work at home. We made dogs and curtains. We planned the whole thing and now we only have to record it.We didn't finish it yet but we will work on it today.

Weaving with Paper

 Last Friday, me and my class were doing science. For science we we were learning how to harvest Harekeke. We watched a video about it. Then we watched a video of how to show kaitiakitanga to our environment. Then we did weaving using strips of paper instead of Harekeke leaves. I used a video to weave. I made a turtle using purple and red paper. First I wove a square. I cut out the circle and glued it on the square I had wove. Then I cut the circle out and glued it on a turtle shape.

The Story of the Sparkler Stick and How it Helped to Give Birth to a Baby Plant (includes a character called Bird Legz) and a video.

On Saturday, when I saw the sparkler sticks that we had used on Diwali, they were lying on the ground. So I thought I could make something out of them. So I got some water and scraped of all the black stuff left with a leaf that smelt nice. I was only using gardening materials for this so I used a leaf. Then I washed the sparkler stick several times. Then I bent the metal stick and made it into a upside down U shape. Then I curved the ends a bit. But then everything didn't turn out that good. So the next day I had an idea. I got a plastic plant pot. I called my sister to help and I knew it would turn out good this time because "Team work does your Dream work".Then she found a stick that looked like a dead bird's leg so we decided to name it Bird Legz. Then I found a shovel and started digging somewhere in the garden. I got as much as soil I could get from there and gave it to my sister so she could put it in the plastic plant pot. Then she put water in the soil and squashed it in using Bird Legz's foot. That kept going till I thought that was enough soil. Then we saw some worms in there which was good. Then I plucked some twigs of a flower plant I had, and put them in the plastic pot. Then I watered it and got the sparkler stick that I had bent. Then I tied it around the pot to make a handle.  Then I hung it on a nail which was somewhere on a mini house in front of our house. It looked pretty good. And what about the holes in the garden? Oh well, I planted the same type of plant in there...

Then I made a video... you guessed it.. on Canva. It was about How to Sa...wait should I tell you... Maybe let's keep it a surprise! The video is down below👇. Watch it to see what it is about.

Happy Diwali!

 Today is the main day of Diwali. I made a song for Diwali. Here it is below.

Happy Diwali!

 This week is Diwali and many Indians will celebrate the victory of good over evil. On Diwali, they light up diyas and make rangoli patterns to welcome the goodes of wealth, MahaLaksmi. They also make mouth watering sweets, which I am sure you will love. Here are some sweets and other foods our family made.

Pasafika Pattern

Today I made a Pasafika Pattern and I drew it on a piece of paper. Here is a photo.👇 The top pattern, represents the shark's teeth which is an important symbol for Pacafic people. The second row represents the waves of the Pacafic Ocean. The third line represents the weaving that they do. The fourth design is and M shape, with a line going down the middle.

Stay home

 I made a video on Canva about staying home. Covid 19 is very dangerous and to be safe, you can try staying home as much as possible. Always check the locations of interest. Here is my video below.

Obstacle Course

 For this week's P.E task our class had to make an Obstacle Course. I made one with my sister . I did the recording and made the video and my sister was doing the obstacle course. My parents were busy so they couldn't help. I promised my sister ice - cream if she helped me, and now she really wants ice - cream. Here is the video below. 

My Chinese Zodiac

 Here is a picture of my Chinese Zodiac. A Dragon!

Cake Again but it's Different!

 Yesterday, my dad made a cake. Well, it wasn't really a cake because he made two! They looked really delicious. I get hungry just by looking at them. 😋😋😋😋 I didn't taste the cakes because the were meant for today. 

Song Maker Guzheng

 Today I made a song in Song Maker that sounds like the traditional instrument of China, The Guzheng. Here is my creation below. I hope you will like it and please give me feedback in the comments. We also listened to someone playing a Guzheng. Here is the link  to the video of the Guzheng.

Maths Problem

I was thinking of what to post on my blog so I thought of a maths problem. This is my maths problem:

                                            Follow these steps.

Do 32 divided by 4 + 2 - 5. Times your number by 21. Your number + 150.  

What is your number? Tell your opinion to me by putting your answer in the comments.

Now I came up with another idea of doing and emoji maths problem. Figure out the emoji problem below.

                                   

                                  👴 + 👴 = 30

                 👴 + 👵 = 23

                 😀 + 👴 = 21

                 😁 + 😀 = 11

                 😁 + 👵 = 13

                 😁 + 👴 x 👵 = ?

Keyboard Lessons

I have been doing Keyboard Lessons for a few weeks now. I have a keyboard and it is fun learning new music. I just started so I don't really know a lot of stuff on it but I always practice. I know how to play Twinkle Twinkle on it. I'll try to learn more songs.

                                                        Bye for now!

My Tent!

 Yesterday I made a tent using stuff in my house. I used a chair, a few pillows, a blanket, and a and put the blanket in the drawers. It was fun in there because I love having a secret place were you can sit and noone knows what you are doing. My sister didn't help me do anything, instead she was watching a funny video while I was doing all the work (I know that because she had her headphones on and was looking in the phone and laughing and I could here some noise coming from there and she always does that), but she is still in the photo. It is kind of fun with your sibling..........but not all the time.

Sorry I was in my PJ's when I took the photo.

Mandarin Juice

 It is weird for me since it is mandarin juice instead of orange juice but in lockdown we actually made it. So why did my family make it? It was because we have a mandarin tree. In lockdown there were so many mandarins on it and we had no idea what to do with them. The second reason was that we wanted to have some orange juice but we couldn't go out shopping in lockdown because it was dangerous. The third reason was because we wanted to experiment it and see how it would taste like. Me and my sister were the taste testers. We had a little sip and it tasted a bit sour. We liked it because most of my family likes sour things. We made it three times but it wasn't really sour because our mandarins were a bit sweeter than last time. We didn't add sugar or anything else. It was just natural.Have you done any cooking during lockdown? If you have, did you like it? Tell me in the comments.

Feeding the Pigeons

Today I was feeding the pigeons. Me and my sister put rice in our hands and sat on the ground while not moving a bit. It was quite hard since we couldn't move. We could talk though with each other because the pigeons didn't care but if we moved they flew away. They were eating from our hands! It was exciting. I could feel their soft beak poking on my hands. Sadly, there were only two pigeons over there. Only one pigeon was eating from our hands (the other one was too busy picking food from the ground). It was funny when the pigeon was staring at you and making grumbling sounds to see if you were moving.

                                                                     ☺😀😁😁😀😀

Cake!

 

Yesterday me and my family worked together to make a cake. We experimented it since we hadn't made one like this before. First we gathered the ingredients. Ingredients: 8 tablespoon self-raising flour, 6 tablespoon  Vegetable Oil, 1 Egg (we used condensed milk instead), 2 tablespoon Cocoa Powder (you can add more according to how much chocolaty you want to make it), Milk 6 tablespoons (but you can add more if necessary), 4 tablespoon Sugar, 1 tablespoon Chocolate Chips (optional), 2 tablespoon Vanilla Essence, Bowl and a Plate. These are the steps. First add 8 tablespoons of self-raising flour. Then, add 4 tablespoons of sugar. Next add 4 tablespoons of Cocoa Powder and mix it altogether. Then add the egg or whatever you are using. Next put in 6 tablespoons of milk, 6 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil, and mix carefully. Next add 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional). Then add the vanilla essence. Stir it carefully. Then get your plate and put it under the bowl and put both of them into the microwave to rise for 3 to 4 mins. You might be wondering why we have the plate. Well it is because it might explode out of the bowl and to make sure your microwave doesn't get all dirty. When it out of the microwave wait for it to cool and then carefully take it out of the bowl. Don't forget to share and enjoy!

Art Is Fun!

On the weekend, I made a paper boat after watching a video of how to make one. I decided to decorate it. I drew patterns on it and it looked good! Then I watched a clip of how to draw a butterfly and drew  one. Then my mum coloured it in for me and helped me put glitter on it. I also made a rocket out of paper rolls. Then I made two puppets  out of old, little socks. I also watched a video for that. Meanwhile, my sister was making a pencil holder out of paper rolls with my dad for help with the printing and the hot glue gun. Then my dad helped me by sticking the eyes, hair and a bow on my puppet. I also made a building out of toothpicks. My whole  family helped, so we also spent family time while doing art. Here are some photos.

Backyard Biodiversity

 Worms, Baby Slugs

 Ladybug

 
Worms, Baby Snails

  Ladybug

Yesterday, I was in the garden doing some science. I was finding insects. I found heaps of worms, baby slugs, ladybugs, centipedes, and more. We looked in the ground but since it was dry we only found centipedes instead of worms. Then me, my sister, and my mum, looked under pots we had grew plants in. And we found heaps of worms and baby slugs! We went looking for ladybugs in our mandarin tree since it was where all the ladybugs came. First I found some ladybugs but we couldn't snap photos of them but then I found one on a nearby leave and then I took photos. Today I also drew a picture of  a praying mantis and made a word art about insects. Here are some photos.

  

A Goldilocks Story

The week before lockdown our class had to remake a  play or a narrative about the Goldilocks story. We could do it in groups or by ourselves. I did it in a group. In my group I had Charmy, Kristin, and Reuben. We worked together to make an awesome play! I set up the sound effects, me and Charmy worked on writing the play while Kristin helped a little and Reuben helped saying it. Here it is! I hope you will enjoy it. ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺   ☺

A Perfect Day for a Sunday

Yesterday, on Sunday my family had to celebrate a cultural festival called Rakshabandhan. We made necklaces out of flowers that me and my sister picked from our garden, and then put them on the statues of our God in our house. We did a red dot on the statue's forehead which is called a "chandlo". Usually you do that on your brother, but since I didn't have a brother, we did on the statues of my God. On Rakshabandhan we tie a special bracelet decorated with some patterns and decorations on our brother's wrist to ask for  protection by the brother and in return, the brother has to give a gift back to the sister.We celebrated it all together and it was fun because having family time isn't usual for us.

 I like lockdown because I love Zoom Meetings and Google Meets, we can still chat with friends, more family time, and I love doing my schoolwork at home! But at the same time, I kind of miss playing games with my friends and our teachers, and our swimming! We had lockdown in the middle of our swimming lessons! 

After that, me and my sister, helped our parents do some work in the garden. Altogether, we mowed the lawn, cut down trees and picked flowers, helped to carry big and heavy branches from the cut down trees, and at last after I was tired, I played a bit with my sister. Then after, me and my sister talked to our dad's cousin sister because she called my dad. Some time later, we had a delicious lunch and I made necklaces and decorations out of beads and my sister helped me. Then I did some crochet. I had a fun doing all those things. Then came the best part of the day, I got my hair cut! me and my sister got our hair cut by our dad since it is lockdown and we can't go out. Everyone thought I looked different. But I don't think so!

Fun with the Juniors

 On Tuesday, the senior classes had the junior classes coming to visit their class. Room 1 came in our classroom and all of us got buddies. The junior class had less students in their class, so some of us had to share a buddy. I was with my friend Anna and a junior called Mariana. She was really playful, smart and fast at doing things. We played at morning tea,play break 1 and play break 2. She even made a game called Find the Ball. In the game there is a hider. The hider hides the tennis ball and hides herself.The hider then calls the rest of the players and they have to find the hider first give them a high five and  then go and find the ball. The first person to do that, gets to have a turn to be the hider. We also made a big Matariki star. We had to go with our buddies and  decorate a diamond shaped piece of yellow paper. Mariana was really fast at it and good at drawing so we got to two of them! At the end of the day, when everyone was tired, we played duck-duck- goose. We also played a game called stuck in the mud. I enjoyed the day and it was really fun.

Alkaline vs Acidic

 On Wednesday we did water analysis. Water analysis means that we have to check what type of water it is. First we got separated into groups. Each group was given a type of water. The different types of water were : Art sink tap water, bathroom sink water, sick bay water, fountain water and bottled water. My table was doing the art sink tap water.We had to test the pH level of the water. We got given pH sticks to test the water.The bathroom sink water's pH level was 7.0 which meant it was neutral, but our water was 6.0 which meant it was acidic.The rest of the group's water was 6.5 which meant it was acidic too but it was almost neutral.After the experiment everyone had questions, so we wrote them down and after the break we did research and answered our questions.

Panikeke

 Today we had a piece of marvellous Panikeke. A Panikeke is actually a Samoan pancake and this is my experience of eating it. It tasted like banana bread.I felt it, and it was warm. It smelled delicious, the beautiful smell filled my nose. I tasted it a little, and it was very crunchy. I liked the taste of the pancake so I bit inside, and the soft middle bit comforted my tongue. It tasted really good and I think you should try it too.

Looking At Bees

 Today we were looking at bees. Each of us received a little container with one dead bumblebee inside,  you could go in pairs if you wanted. I was with Grace and we had to share a container. Each of us got a worksheet. Every person (pairs) got a different type of bumblebee. Me and Grace got a Queen Bee! Each table got a magnifying glass and tweezers. Our bee was fluffy and striped. Its wings were in a flying position. We enjoyed the activity.
