Activity 2: Impossible Burgers

For this activity it is your job to read the nutritional facts about these burgers and to work out the difference between the two burgers in the following areas:

On your blog, share your results. You can use the following three sentences as a guide.

1. The new impossible burger has 50% less calories than the original impossible burger.  
2. The new impossible burger has 4% less fat than the original impossible burger.  
3. The new impossible burger has 9% less sodium than the original impossible burger.  

These are the 3 fact that I chose to write about the impossible burger. I find them interesting because I thought that they were all made of meat. I liked this activity because it included meat which I like and because I got to learn about different ingredients in a burger (meat). 

Activity 1: The Social Network

For this activity, please think about what you have learned in class about being cyber smart. 

On your blog provide five rules that people should follow when sharing pictures and/or streaming videos online.

For the first activity for day 5, we were making 5 rules that people should follow when sharing picture or streaming videos online. It is important to stay cyber smart because you might not know what could happen. One of the rules that we had was never share your location while streaming online it is because some random person might come to your door step.

The friendly giant has big ears, big round eyes, yellow teeth, and a big nose. He lives in a dark cave. He has a deep loud voice and he is as tall as the Sky Tower. He is also a kind giant, he doesn't eat people but wants to be friends with humans.

At the age of 13 she was offered to make a record. One interesting fact that learnt was that she was born in New Zealand in Takapuna.  

Blog Post Analysis

Today we were comparing our blog analysis that we made in the beginning of the year to one we made now. My goal was to reach 700 hundred blog post by the end of this year. I didn't reach my goal but I got a good amount of blog post done. The total of blog post that I got altogether was 598. I think I could've done better if I didn't mess around.     

Deadly Measles Outbreak In Samoa

Today for reading we were doing current events. We were learning about the national and international news around the world. Currently, Samoa has been infected with measles as someone from New Zealand with the disease brought it over to Samoa by flight.

Market Day Evaluation

Last week on Friday it was marketing day each class form the school made a variety of items, our class made rainbow crayon. It was good idea because people was buying it and it was on a low price. Also it was easy to make because we don't need to buy any crayon but instead our class went to each other room and ask them for their broken crayons. I would like to change the stand so that it could be on the court so that we don't need to run around to places. We got a gross profit of $96.00 dollar but it cost us $8.00 dollar and our net profit is $88.00 dollar.   

Writing Personification

As my tired, soggy and worn out body slowly scrapes across the muddy concrete floor, I think back to what happened this morning. 

Just as I was about to fall asleep, these 5 wrinkly, cheese smelling things are shoved inside me. Their sharp tips scratch my innards and get caught in my fabric. I angrily chafe this intruder, and it responds by smacking me against a wall. As I’m unwilling to be torn on any sharp objects, I relent and let the smelly thing be. After an hour or so of running, my friend and I are forced to watch as the giant goes straight through a puddle of mud- with us still attached! It only groaned as a huge amount of water started flooding through my skin. 

Boy do I hate being a shoe.

Today for writing Alex and I needed to write a story from a shoes' perspective, the thing is, we couldn't talk. It got confusing at times because we both had ideas but they were nothing alike. We also needed to use the some of the senses to describe what was happening to the shoe. After that, we listened to the other group's stories and then we presented our own.

Transformation

Today we were learning about the 4 types of transformation. After that we made a DLO about the transformations. We did this to understand what the 4 types of transformation are. The transformation that we were learning was rotation, enlargement, reflection and translation.  

Manaiakalani film festival 2019

Yesterday was the 12th manaiakalani film festival. On our way to the bus we partnered up with a little student from room 6 or 7. My partner was Khit he was in room 7, when we got to the cinema we dropped off our partner to their seat. After we dropped our partner off we went to the back seats to watch the movies. The movie that I like was how to learn because it was funny and fun to watch. After the film festival was done we grabbed the same partner and got onto the bus.               

Need And Want

This week for inquiry we had to compare the difference between need and want. This was kind of hard because we can't say need or want in the explanation. We worked into groups so that we can talk to each other and explain something that we don't know.   

Maths

This week we were making a slide about the total lifetime of owning a pet dog and how much it will cost . The dog that we chose was a border collie, in the slide we added the life span, the average wight, food cost, what gender, the food and how much it will cost for the registration.         

The Possum Problem

This week in reading, we read a book about possums and how they were brought to New Zealand. As we were reading we made notes about what we wanted to know, what we already knew and the information we found out. After we read the book, we created a screen castify about possums. We created a DLO and scripts for each person to read.

Writing Explanation

Why would I be an asset to my new school?

When I go to my new school I am going to take everything that I learnt here and take it with me on my journey. For example I am going to take all the maths strategies that I learnt here with me so I use them when I am stuck on a hard question.

I would also take my sportsmanship and teamwork with me when I join a sport team in my new school. I will be a team player and cheer them on, even if I’m not on the field or court. I would also do my best, train hard, try not to let my team down. If we lose I won’t get angry but I will wish the other team good luck.

I would get involved with the learning and sharing ideas if I am in a group. I will listen to what people have to say about the work that we are doing, and if someone is not involved get them involved with the learning. I am also going to join in things that I don’t like and just deal with it.

I am also going to take my respect, kindness and empathy with me. That means I am going to be kind to other people, show respect by listening to the teacher and do as I am told. When someone is upset I will look after them and listen to what they have to say or what is happening.

When I start my next school I am going to wake up earlier everyday and look smart. I will continue to come to school on time and turn on my brain on so I get ready for school work. I am going to meet new friends and try not to be shy to say hello to people I don’t know. I will try my best and will work hard in all my subjects. I am really excited and can’t wait to start my new learning journey.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today for Writing I wrote a explanation about why would I be an asset to my new school. In my explanation it talked about what I am bring with me when I go to a new school. I talked about the strategies that I would use if a am stuck. I also talked about showing sportsmanship, teamwork, respect, kindness and empathy.       

Rugby World Cup

This week for maths our theme was rugby world cup. We had seven question to do, our first question was about what is the different in seating capacity between the largest and the smallest stadiums in Japan. After we were done doing the seven question we made a DLO about one of the question we did.       

Respect The Sea

One day Jack, a little red snapper was swimming around in the sea. His parents had told him to stay away from the boats but as usual Jack didn’t listen. Above the water Alex was looking for a snapper for dinner. He had taken his boat out to the place he knew the fish swam. 

Alex didn’t care about the fish. He just wanted to cook some up for dinner. He didn’t care if the fish he caught were too small. He didn’t care if the fish he caught were too big, he just took them off his hook with his bare hands. Alex only wanted a nice meal.

His friends used to get angry with him because they knew it was important to think about the size of the fish you took from the sea because if they didn’t do this the fish won’t be able to breed. That would mean there would be no fish to catch in the future.

Not using a wet towel to hold a fish will damage its scales which can make them get sick or die.

If Alex remembered to measure the fish he caught he would know it was important to put undersized fish like Jack back in the sea, but he didn’t. Jack had been hungry and had seen the bait but unfortunately he didn’t see the hook. The next thing he knew he was up! Fish don’t do that so he knew he was in trouble.

His scales felt very dry, he couldn’t breathe, why didn’t he listen to his parents. Suddenly he felt a splash of salt water, the splash became bigger and soon all his scales started to cool down and he could breathe again.

Alex had a big grin on his face. He knew he was having fish for dinner that day. Alex didn’t follow many rules but he did know that if he filled the bucket with salt water the fish would stay fresh. Alex was a greedy fisherman and caught way over the limit if seven snapper a day. As he started to make his way back home the fisheries police decided to check how many fish he had caught

Alex went straight to jail because he couldn’t pay the big fine for having too many fish. The police put Jack back in the sea just in time. He knew he had a lucky escape and decided that this would be the last time he ever tried to eat bait.

Tech - MakeBlock

This week for tech we learnt how to move our Makeblock into a square and a circle. The fun thing in robotics is playing around with the Makeblocks and trying to make them follow our algorithms to move in a square or a circle. An algorithm is a set of steps or rules that you build into the code. This was challenging because we had to get the coding and the number right to move it into the right shape by ourselves.
