My T3 Goal Reflections

Today is the end of term 3, so for inquiry we wrote in a google slide our reflections about T3. We were asked to write in goals we wished to master in T1 that we mastered today, goals we wish to master in T4, and our highlight of learning.

Here's my slide 

My Google Drawing Māori Glossary

 Today for reading my class was creating a Māori Glossary using the words from a Kahoot individual quiz we did earlier, I learnt lots of new Māori words like the word "Aihikirīmi" meant "Ice Cream". To create the glossary we needed 5-8 words in Māori that we could recall from the 2 quizzes we did, then type it in English translation.

The part I liked the most was customizing everything in the google drawing, The google drawing was pretty bland but next time I would make it more colourful and bright. Even though I only had five words I could probably add more next time. 

Terrific Filter Feeding Science Experiment!

 Today for reading, my class has been learning about how to "Apply prior knowledge and opinions to a text" the topic was about shellfishes, this was also a science experiment but this was a task after reading though. We had to write in how shellfishes clean the polluted water, what they eat in clean/dirty water. We also had to explain why/why not should we stop consuming shellfish. We took pictures of the science experiment and as you can see, the photos are a little bit small in size and it is found in the right coloumn below the title "What shellfishes eat in clean water". 

To write down our answers we had to research what they eat and watched a video about the task. 

I did find some things challenging about writing down what shellfishes eat, but all in all the task was alot of fun and we learnt alot at the end of the day. 

The Cats VS Dogs Debate!

 Today for Reading, my reading group was learning about "Applying our prior knowledge and opinions to a text". This also connects to what my class has been learning about, "Persuasive Writing" applying our opinions will help us very well with our writing. As you can see here in the slide I have added 3 reasons why Cats are better than Dogs and why it is better than the opposing one. 

I had a lot of inspiration and fun customising and writing in this slide, I didn't find anything much hard while creating the slide. 

My Excellent Blog Exploration!

Today for Cybersmart, my class was exploring on different blogs from different schools and recording it in a slide diagram where we record their Year level, School, Information from their "About me" profile. We also recorded their pageviews, numbers of countries that visitors were from, and lastly their posts from last year, 2019. We also did the similar thing for our own blogs. 

Next we read from these blogs and listed anything we could include in our blogs, we did also list how we could get more people to visit our blog page. 

I did find some things tricky while listing information, but it was mostly fun since I got to know more about these students and about their hobbies and their favourite sports and food.  

My Before & After | Improving My Blog Posts

 Today my class has been learning about a "Quality Blogpost" and how we can edit, extend, and reflect more of our learning. My post includes information and ideas that demonstrate my understanding about quality blogposts, I created a google drawing to show my ideas about my learning for today.

A "Quality Blogpost" is a post that reflects on your learning & what your learning is about, a quality blog post also has correct punctuation and capitals. 

Kawa Of Care

 Last week our class were discussing about how you take care of your chromebook and what damages it.  We used google slides to create our "Kawa of care" presentation.

Kawa of care is about an agreement to protect and respect our chromebooks, it also means that we are a Cybersmart class and we will only use websites for learning and use the language of learning.

To make this presentation I used photos that is non-copyright and safe to use, I typed in the speech bubbles important things you should do.
