The Nose Know's.

 Last week we were doing our Stem challenge was doing The Nose know's with Mrs Parsons ( AKA our teacher. ) Mrs Parsons gave us a sheet with instructions on what to do. All the bottles were labelled in letters. We had to grab one of the tiny bottles and smell them and try find the matching scent to it and we had found the two that match we would look at the letters and write them down side by side and write what the scent was. After that Mrs Parsons gave us the slide we had to do and post it on our blog.

I really thought doing it was a fun experiment and if I could, I would love to do it again.

Making sherbert.

 Last week with one of our teachers, Matua Axel, for our Stem challenge we were making sherbert here in New Zealand, Sherbert isn't ice cream, it's something completely different.

I enjoyed making it the most because it involved a lot of experimental science, our teachers said to complete it we needed to think like scientists so we had to use some of our senses, Taste, smell and sight I think, and I thought it was fun.

I found hard doing the measurements because I'm not a maths lover and neither am I good at it, but I think I added more citric acid then the rest of the ingredients because I felt a sting at the back of my throat when I tasted it.

Good Friend Potion.

Last week we had to do an activity that our teachers gave us which was our Good friend potions.

I enjoyed writing down the things that had to be in my good friend potion and sadly I could only put in the words that were on the white board and it didn't have funny which I was really sad about, but it's fine.

I found hard knowing what to do at first because I had just come back from Netball the day we were doing it and I had no idea what to do until the teacher put and S.C up.

I found easy getting it done quick because I thought I was on task and I was in the zone just straight on trying to get it finished and my tactic worked so I use it most of the time now.

My paper helicopter.


Today I was learning I was learning how to make a paper helicopter that actually works!
I enjoyed the folding the most because it was satisfying and it was the easiest.
My digital learning object shows I can replace images, use the camera app, change text and backgrounds and embed my DLO in my blog.

My paper rocket.


Today I was learning how to make a paper rocket out of 1 sheet of paper, tape, scissors, glue, and black and white felt tips.
I enjoyed drawing the rocket because drawing it is my favorite thing to do out of this whole entire thing as you can tell by looking at my blog I do a lot of drawing and that's because I want to be and artist when I grow up.
I found it challenging to make the straw because we don't have any straws through out our house so I made the straw out of tape and paper. The hardest part about was forming it into a circle because the paper kept on folding instead of doing what I wanted it to do.
My digital learning object shows I can replace images, use the camera app, change text and backgrounds and embed my DLO in my blog.
Next time I would change the colors and shape of my rocket and maybe by some straws to make it easier.

My post about me.


Today I was learning replace an image and how to change the background color easier.
I enjoyed knowing how to change the back ground color easier just by clicking the slide with 2 fingers and going to background and it makes it easier and writing a little bit about me was little bit fun.
I found it challenging to understand on how to replace the image because I didn't know how I would fit the picture of me in the circle until I read the information on the side to know how to do it.
My digital learning object shows I can replace images, use the camera app, change text and backgrounds and embed my DLO in my blog.
Next time I would change my picture and the font and maybe put a bit more details about me and who I am.

My distance learning reflections.


This term my teachers have given me a slide about my distance learning from at home or school and they put 5 questions for us to answer.
I enjoyed answering the questions because it makes me think back on my learning and what I did.
My digital learning object shows my reflections on what I liked about distance learning and other stuff.
Next time I might change the fonts and the color of the bubbles to give it a bit more color.

My S.T.E.M challenge.


This was really fun but extremely tiring. This in total took around 5 hours or more to draw and that's because I every detail takes a lot of work to do when coming to drawing, and I had to take breaks because I wanted and my mum said to take him out for a play and stuff. And also I didn't finish my daily challenge or art challenge because this one took way to long and I was getting really tired, and I didn't want to stuff up the rest of my work.
Today I was learning how to make a Tessalation using colored pencils or felts, a pencil, an black sharpie or felt or even an ink pen, paper and tape.
I enjoyed the coloring the most because I could play around with them and it's the funnest part when coming to a rainbow drawing.
I found it challenging to perverse and keep going because on how tired I was and how my hands were starting to hurt.
My digital learning object shows my artwork and about what happened and how I felt doing it.
Next time I would change it by putting the colors in a different order and maybe make a different shape.

10 really cool facts you might want to know.


This week was interesting but fun. The part I liked the most was learning and writing all the facts because they were just really interesting and I learnt more, but I only wanted to put a certain amount of facts so I could fit 3 pictures on the side.
Today I was learning different and really cool facts that were mind blowing, interesting and some were a bit weird but cool to know at the same time.
I enjoyed everything it was super fun and I was learning too, but at home and it's online learning.
I found it challenging to put it in my own words because I just felt like copying but I know that's wrong to do.
My digital learning object shows 10 different facts and what I have been learning at home.

The School Triathlon.


This Term was full of Sports and fun but the one that was a challenge for me was the School Triathlon.
The School Triathlon was a bit hard but I tried, because this is my last year and I didn't want it to be like I didn't try at all.
The part I liked was the swimming because it was the less hardest and it was more fun then then the rest even though it was freezing cold, and it felt like I grew up in an iceberg.
The part that was hardest was the running because I started getting tired and exhausted after the third lap.
The part that was easiest was the swimming because I got a break from the running and biking and it also cooled me off because I was really hot.

Titanic.

 This Term, We were reading about the Titanic and it has one of the most interesting things like having a whole entire room to yourself and having a luxury with 2 staircases and a little balcony inside to look over and watch people dance. The most interesting thing is that it has the length of 3 Football fields! Overall I liked it because it had interesting facts that will blow your mind!

about at school,and what I will learn through the year.The hardest part was thinking about the things that I really wanted to learn.
The easiest part was coloring the shapes and background.

Grace Vanderwaal and Simone Biles.

Today I writ down my favorite singer and my favorite gymnast I have done this because I wanted to express a little bit of myself and tell you who my favorite singer and gymnast was. The hardest part was clicking and dragging because every time I dragged my fingers they started to hurt.But the easiest part was doing the pictures and the typing but I think I done really well in my slide and it was fun.By River.

Today I learnt what it is like to be a powerful learner in Rimu. How to be a powerful learner.You need to be a Thinker,Collaborator,communicator also being connected with your team. And be confident also you have to persevere.What I found hard was getting the star bullet points that was hard but what was easy was getting the kind of bullet point I wanted to have on my slide.And getting the background.

MY Racoon slide.

I have been learning about Racoons what they do and what they eat. I chose an animal and made slides about it. I have facts and information that I found and wrote on my slides. I went to to this site to help me get all the info and facts I needed to make my slides interesting to look at.I found easy was getting pictures and writing all of my info and facts and doing the color. I found really frustrating was one of my slides deleting but I managed to get my slides back.
