Global Issues
Kia Ora Bloggers,
This week for inquiry we have made some word arts about all the global issues that we could think of. I have made some of these before they were about things I appreciate,my family,and my favorite things.
What Global Issues Can You Think About?

The Lonely Man
Kia ora bloggers,
This week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell. When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences. We want to show them - not tell them.
For example:
Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realised he had just missed the bus. But instead I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away. Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realised that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now” You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated.
Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man. We used Adobe Spark to do this.
Have a look at my video and see if you can you make some inferences about what I have written.
Do you think the elderly man is happy?

The Quest Of The Beebots
Kia ora Bloggers,
For Numeracy this week we have been looking at compass directions. We have worked on reading maps using the 8 main directions - North, South, East, West, North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West and then we moved onto using Beebots and our knowledge of compass directions to get a Beebot through the grid to various locations.
We had to programme the Beebot with our own algorithm, using forwards, backwards, turn right, turn left and N, S, E, W. It was important that we regularly tested our algorithm to check we didn’t need to de-bug (find a problem and fix it).
Here is an example of my algorithm: ⇑ west 2 squares ↶⇑ south 2 squares.
Have you ever written an algorithm for something? Have you ever had to use a compass for something?

The Twits Inferences
Kia ora Bloggers,
This week we have been looking carefully at making inferences when we read or watch something.
An inference is when we take clues from a text or image, and
add them to our thoughts or prior knowledge and make an inference.
For example, when I look at this photo, I might make the inference that
this photo was taken in a food factory as everyone is wearing hair nets and this is required in all food factories.
The text that we read a snippet out of was ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl.
Once we had read the first few chapters where they described the main characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, we then had to make some inferences based on the clues that Roald Dahl had given in the text.
I used Google Draw to create a display of my inferences I have made about Mr and Mrs Twit.
Have you read The Twits before? Do you agree with my inferences? What inferences would you make about the characters?
See you next time!

My last blog post from home!!
Hey Bloggers
This week for math we have been learning volume and capacity like how many cups it takes to hold 250ml out of 2.5L. For my friday task I made My own House on top of an elephant and I had lots of fun making it so enjoy.
If you could live on an animal back what animal would you choose? See you next time I post stay safe,Bye.

Survival
Hey Bloggers
In literacy we have been reading Going Solo by Roald Dahl. It tells his story from where Boy left off.
He went to Africa to work for The Shell Company and he has many adventures there. Some of these are really funny.
He then joined the RAF to fly in WW2.
We have recreated a part of the story where his plane crashes in the desert. He manages to survive although he is blinded by the crash and badly injured. He does get his sight back eventually.
Going Solo is a great novel that I would recommend you read.
Have you ever read Going Solo?see you next time I post,stay safe and stay at home,Bye

Friday 2020 Tasks
Hey Bloggers
This week I have been doing math,literacy and random Friday tasks. For my random Friday tasks I have made some 90 second art pieces using Colour Push so try it and make some cool art. With my math I made my own house using roomstyler. that was really fun to make my house.and finally last but not least literacy. For literacy I had to finish a chapter in our book by guessing what will happen next.
Have you ever made a house? Let me know. See you next time I post and don't forget to stay safe and at home, Bye .

Hey bloggers Today I made a bag from an old pillow case that my Nana had so here it is, Enjoy.
How I made the bag was I cut up a old pillow case and then sewed up the sides then I sewed on the buttons and cut the holes the buttons went through.Have you ever made a bag before? tell me.see you next time I post,Don't forget to stay safe and at home,Bye.
