Welcome back to another great day of the summer learning journey let's get started!

Activtiy 1: Bee Informed

The Word (bumble bee) is a compound word (Bumble + Bee). The word (bumble) means to hum, buzz or drone.

Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).

Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90% percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.

Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do up to 50 times as much work as a normal honeybee.

The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factour including the removal of wildflowers and flowing trees, habitat loss and extensive use of pesticides.

Activity 1: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

If I could explore Milford sound I would do it on foot. I would do it on foot because if we walk it then we can stop and study things like what type rock you found and also feel and touch it too. I would'nt go on the helicopter because I am afraid of heights and boat make be nervous so yeah. I would enjoy exploring Milford sound because it sound like a wonderful tourist destination and I think that seeing it in person sound wonderful and we can get in some exercise 

So That is why I would go on foot.

Activity 3: Picture Perfect

Here is what I think is happening in the Selfie #3

A few Tourist we walking down a wonderful city. Everyone was in aw of how beautiful the city look they snapped picture along the way. They kept walking until they came across a beautiful veiw they stopped there and took a break. The guide talke about what this place and how long ago it was built but no one was really paying attention they were just taking photos. The breath taking veiw was beautiful the gleaming water the joyful town they just had to take a photo. So while everyone was taking picture with there friends and family one lady was looking for someone to take photo of her. After failing to find some one willing to do it she decided to take it herself. She climbs up on the wall everyone looks at her in panic while the tourist guide try to tell her not to She doesn't listen. She looks for the perfect angle but starts to loose her balance so she quickly snaps the photo and jumps down to safe ground. Sadly the picture was blurry oh well maybe next time.

The Mural of the story is watch were you take Selfies ;)

I hope you enjoyed we enjoyed this task and having the whole space to ourself. I also enjoyed how the class was so calm and we could do things and not have problems with it and our timetable was what ever goes.

Mini light houses

Task Description: I have made this presentations because we have been doing some pretty cool things this year in Makerspace and I post my animations which I make in creative space so what about Makespace. This year we have been printing our very own mini housesn we designed the  small houses using tinkercad then we put L.E.D light in and lighting it up with watch batteries. My favourite part of this was seeing what Pla works best on the printer. I used clear pla for my house  my house had to be printed twice and because something happened we haven't quite figured out what it was but yeah the second time it was perfect.

Cave Art

Walt: Tell a story that you wrote through an animation using hyperstudio.

Once not long ago there lived a tribe. They ate berries and fish this tribe like to preserve there animas. But over time it got harder to find berries and their supplies didn’t last long. When the last of the berries were finished the tribe went and hunted for more berries. They came across a berry patch but it was guarded by 2 fierce crocodile. The tribe charged at animals while some of them got some berries they decided to spare the animals life because they were happy to have more berries. They returned to their cave and had a celebration the End!

Task Description: Here is my task description I worked pretty hard on this movie it may not look like it but yeah I did work hard on it. I wrote the voice over using the story the pictures show and below the presentation I have the script I used for the voice over because the voice over wasn't very clear. I drew the pictures with hyperstudio and put it into Imovie to make it and actual movie. Along the way I did have to keep in mind that this is a cave art and they didn't have paint brushes and things like that back then and I tried to make the picture look like I make them using my figure ENJOY!

Haunted Hazard

Walt: Get excited to about year 6 camp

It was the day me and my friends were going to see Kawau Island and it’s wonderful inhabitants, so was all the year 6’s for 2018 at Pt England school. But nothing is as is seems at Kawau Island Four campers from the group will find a dark side of this Mysterious Island. Will they survive this Crazy Camp?

“Yay! I can’t wait to arrive at camp” I exclaimed not knowing what was waiting for us on the Island “I know right” Jedida replied as she pulled her suitcase onto the ferry. They found to seats next to Tha-zin and Roshaan “ Hey Tha-zin I heard the Mansion on Kawau Island is Haunted by the ghost of Governor Hobson” Roshaan said as she saw Jedida and Zaeeda sit down “maybe we invite the ghost to have candy with us at night when everyone's asleep” Zaeeda said pulling a block of cadbury M&M chocolates from her bag. They ferry stopped and they walked onto the docks of Kawau island, “Okay team quite down” said 2 loud and clear voices from in front of us. “Welcome to Kawau Island at this camp we will be doing team building activities this may be hard but I don’t want any complaining and in case you didn’t know my name is Erin” said the tall figure standing in front of us “ and my name is Peter but now we are going to hike up killer hill so get ready” He said grinning. “ I am so excited” I whisper jedida as we start walking in a line “Me too” she whispers back.

Once we finished hiking and spent the rest of the day doing fun activities but nightfall came and we were exhausted. “Today's activities were so much fun”  Tha-zin says as Me and her walk back to our cabin “yeah fun right’’ I say sarcastically “ I am exhausted” I say back to her.  They walked into the cabin and I pulled out my block of chocolate ready for a midnight feast “YEAH” they all shierked together “SSSSHHHHH” I hissed “remember Mr Somerville's talk about 10% of the candy” Roshaan whispers Quietly.  The Next day they had did kayaking, hiking ,swimming and heaps of other cool activities with Peter and Erin. “I really wish we could do today over again it was so much fun” Jedida said to Roshaan and I  walked to lunch together “yeah it was so much fun but did you notice the teachers are acting weird today” I  said looking over her behind her and seeing Miss Parrant half asleep and Mr Goodwin with his eighth cup of coffee “I agree” Roshaan replied “ let’s ask them why they are so jumpy and asleep today” Jedida suggested “ok” Me and Roshaan replied together.

After lunch they walked up to Mr Goodwin who was sitting on a standing up talking to some boys about fortnite, Once he finished I decided to try and be polite and ask “ Mr Goodwin why are you and the other teachers so jumpy and half asleep today?” “ Me and the other teacher kept hearing noises in the Mansion it kept us awake all night” He replied then going back to the topic of fortnite with the boys. The girls walked away in silence and in deep thought “Maybe it was the ghost of Governor Hobson” Jedida joked “Actually you might be right” Zaeeda exclaimed.

That evening Zaeeda and Tha-zin walked into there cabin together only to find Jedida and Roshaan giggling and chatting in the corner “What’s up”? I asked suspiciously “you know how we were talking about the inviting the ghost of Governor Hobson to eat candy well” Jedida says allowing me and Tha-zin to build up some suspense Roshaan continued “ We did some research and found out that Governor Hobson isn’t dead yet he’s but he did go last week” Roshaan said mysteriously “ OOOOHhhhh I get it  now, you guys want to go and find out why there is a ghost roaming the mansion” Tha-zin says brightly with wide eyes “good Idea I want In” Me and Tha-zin literally yelled they both agreed and found jobs to do. It was 10:00 pm and Jedida was sitting on a tree branch Roshaan was sneaking to the front door of the mansion. Tha-zin was sitting on the roof of the cabin keeping an eye out for any campers our teacher about to bust us and I was sittin inside the cabin looking through binoculars giving instructions on the plan and  eating more M&M chocolate. Roshaan snuck into the Mansion and unlocked the door for back door for Jedida they snuck into they waited for 2 hours straight, when the clock struck twelve a tall pale figure came out of a from a secret cupboard that faded away into the walls of the mansion. 



The figure walked towards the kitchen and grabbed out a really big knife the light of the kitchen was on and the only thing visible to the girls was his shadow and some type of thick liquid type of juice that bounced everywhere when he brought the knife down.  The girl screamed in horror so I sent Tha-zin over to see if they were alright “Tha-zin Tha-zin please come in we need you to report to Haunted scene (Mansion) ” I screeched as I took another bite of the delicious goodness into the walkie talkie “Roger that” a voice said. Tha-zin soon arrived at the scene and walked into the kitchen by accident and saw that the ghost was dicing a tomato “but why Tha-zin wondered. Roshaan noticed something weird on the ground we the ghost had been she crawled over to it and got a sample into to a bag she then alerted me and I was already on my way I had got a backup agent to stay at home base. I ran over there and when I arrived all my friend were hiding in the living room staring at the shadow in fascination, I looked at the sample of white powder Roshaan had collected I took one look at it and thanks to the baking lessons my mom had been giving me I immediately said “it’s flour you know the type you put in cakes and stuff” I said to the others.

 In horror Jedida yelled he’s on a move we followed him into a room where we heard shrieks, shrieks of Mr Goodwin they were of both laughter and fear. We peeked through the door and saw the ghost running around trying to scare Mr Goodwin but he is to intrigued in his game of fortnite he see the ghost and laughs but shrieked when he starts to lose in fortnite. “What should we do” Roshaan whispered desperately “I don’t know” Tha-zin replied “I know” a voice behind them said It was Amira and she was holding sponges and a bucket of water “Remember that time we threw sponges at our teacher for our writing  test well we could do the same to the ghost to get the flour of him and reveals the true identity of this so called ghost. We each took turns loading up our sponges and throwing them at the ghost it took some time but we finally got the flour off Governor Hobson.

It turned out he was sleepwalking and woke him up by throwing wet sponges at him he told us that had took a sleeping pill before cause he couldn’t fall asleep but it didn’t work for a while he  soon forgot about it and started baking a cake for his wife he was baking a cake for his wife when he fell asleep. “So that explains the flour” I say not very surprised “but what explains the sleep walking”? Roshaan stated “Hahaha I do that every night since I was a wee boy” The Governor replied with a cheesy grin “ok now I better get tidying up and you better get to back to your cabin and as for your teacher I will be turning off the mansions power no more fortnite for him” The Governor said will a sweet smile the girls giggled and returned to their cabin. “Wow we had such a crazy night” Amira exclaimed climbing back into bed “Amira you do know that it’s 4:00 am  and we better get up now” I says trying not to offend her “Dang it” Roshaan said standing back up “we should keep this on a down low” I say “I agree replied Jedida “okay come on we better head out” Tha-zin yauwned reaching for the door.

The rest of the day the girls we really tired and this time the teachers asked them why we were all half asleep. The day to return back to school came and we were cleaning out our cabin we walked into the cabin and saw on the wall by the window there was writing on it PLEASED\ TO HAUNT YOU! The girls looked at each other and where silent for quite a while. “Do you think it was for real”? Tha-zin asked me “probably not” I replied uncomfortably but in my head I knew that it probably was for real and one day it would return and not to Kawau Island but to Pt England School BUT THAT’S A STORY FOR ANOTHER DAY!

Task Description: For this task we got given three story startes and we had to come up with the rest of the story. This story was based on the camp the year 6's are going on soon. I enjoyed this task however I did consider not being in it and just talking to the character on a walkie talkie but I kinda would kinda be hard to see how my friends act when I am not around so yeah. Anyway I hope you enjoyed!

Tricky Decimals Problems 2

Walt: use add/ sub strategies to solve tricky decimal problems.

Task Description: For this task we had to add and subtract decimals. I this task was not too hard but I think I and do more practice on this. I hope we do more on deciamls and I want to learn further on decimals. I didn't work with anyone for this task because I didn't find it too hard, here is the gold medal problems there is still the silver and bronze so check them out and leave me a comment THANKS!

Start Of A New Term

Walt: use correct sentences to help structure our writing.

Today is the first day back at school and already so much has happened. I  caught up with my friends, we also had a CRAZY immersion assembly. It was really something!

We have heaps of events coming up this term, I can hardly wait. My favourite would be the Manaiakalani Film Festival , you know when the whole school goes to the cinemas in sylvia park pretty cool right. Another would be athletic day my goal for that would be to come at least top three or four in shot put.

My goals for this term it to improve my sketching skills a little bit more because I am super close. Another goal I want to reach would be to finish my silent reading book by Roald dahl Charlie and the chocolate factory, I am up to the bit where they meet the ompa lompas and a boy falls into the chocolate river.

I am hoping to do more on decimals and fractions, in maths. I also want to do water painting like Tha Zin and tie dying because when you tie dye you it so colourful and bright. I also want to use pastel colours to colour things, because when you blend pastel colour it is very beautiful!

Overall term 4 will be an enthusiastic term. I am siked about this term and just I can’t wait till athletics day, I hope I reach all my goals, I also hope we learn about art I just can’t wait. I can’t wait to blog some more.

Task Description
