EL3 Writing Bottle Sprayer

For one of our Writing workshops for early level 3 We found out how the bottle sprayer nozzle works and then Everybody had to write in their own words how it works.This is my writing.We also use a word bank and everytime I use the one of the words I cross it out. The second time I looked at the sprayer I looked closer at the details to understand it better.

The water gets sucked up with the air from the bottle. When the tiny tank at the top of the tube is full the plunger puts pressure on  the water in the tank so it releases and shoots. it comes out the hollow tube then the trigger forces it to spray out of the nozzle because it has nowhere else  to go.

I used a lot of detail in my piece of writing it was better than my usual writing because I took time to look for detail.

Tennis Tournament!!!

On the 23rd of October we left on a big car trip from Gisborne to Napier. The picture on the left is a picture of me on my first game of the tournament.

This is our crew from WBS  waiting for one of our names to be called to play a match.

I was going up higher and higher on the Draw until I got to the final.

In the end and I pulled it off! I was the winner of the social tennis tournament. It felt so good, like so good!

BEDMAS!!!

Bedmas is a way of figuring out complicated math problems.        B: ( brackets ) E: Exponents D: division M: X multiplication          A: + Addition S: - subtraction. I think it is a useful way to figure out a problem like on my video. It's not easy but i think i'm getting it.

Mothers Day card

This is outside and inside of my Mother's Day card. It was really effective my mum loved it.
The first line was alliteration, line 2 was 3 adjectives, line 3 was a nickname, line 4 was a simile, line 5 was a three word statement about my mum.

Reuse and Attributing Images

 In my class we learnt how to reuse and attribute images. I chose a surfing picture because I like surfing.

Be CyberSmart!

Last week we learnt about being CyberSmart and Kawa of Care. We learnt to stay on appropriate websites and carry your chromebook in 2 hands and no cyberbullying!!!

Amazing Timetable!

Every weekend Koka Ngaire or Matua Fergus sends to Moana Learning Hub a google form. We know what level at and how to work towards our goals - this helps us to know what workshops to sign up to.

Once we have signed up for workshops, we go to our timetable and fill in the workshops that we have during the week.   We have some gaps in our timetable, so we then fill these gaps with Links to Learning activities. Some of these activities include: word work, basic fact challenge, read to self, quick write.

I think that the timetable is a new way of learning that I haven't used before.  It is good because you know what you are doing next and it is organised.  You fill out your timetable at the start of the week and you follow it.   My challenge is to remember when my workshops are so that I am not late.   I like the workshops because I am learning something I don't already know or something that I need improving with.
