My School Report

My Reflection

I was doing a school report  to show how much I think that I have learnt in year 6.
It's a bit strange that I have to write a school report because my teacher usually does it.
It was fun saying nice things about myself.

Auckland landscape art work

Auckland landscape is a art work of Auckland city. We paint the sunset with 3 colours Red Orange and Yellow. And the sea 2 colours blue and white. And we did the grass with 1 or 2 colours gold and green. also we tried our best to cut out a paper of auckland city and glue it on tight enough to stop it from coming down or falling down. And we did some painting that we did was very well. And very good and clever also it was a lot of hard work.

We always wash our hands after we finish painting and dry them when we are done washing our hands

The solar system

The Planets circle around the sun . They orbit only 1 way. There used to be 9 planets but one is smaller and it is a dwarf planet called Pluto. Now there are 8 planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. We can't live on Mercury because at day time it is too hot.
We can't live on Neptune because it is made of ice. Ice makes it cold

Biosphere Diorama

How our Biosphere Caters for Human Needs

Our trees give us oxygen and our water room cleans water for the trees, the plants, the animals and for humans. We get our food from the chickens and the garden, as well as milk from the goats. We sleep in the bedroom and socialise in the living room. We need to keep warm, so we have wool from sheep to make blankets, clothes, etc. Our bathroom is for cleaning ourselves and for some privacy. The storage room is for all the food and materials. Cooking is for the kitchen, where part of the food is for cooking.

My Reflection:

I enjoyed making my biosphere. We used milk boxes to make our biosphere

and we folded the milk boxes to make a four level biosphere with a garden. We made double trees. Our diorama showed where the water was coming from.

It also show's where everything goes.

It was tricky to cut out small plants.

Painting the outside of the biosphere was fun.

I am proud of my biosphere

I was in a group with Teryn and Rodolfo.

Treasure chest net

                                                                Net's are 2-d shape's. When we fold the 2-D shapes they are 3-D shapes.

I started by making a cube out of clicker squares.   Then I unfolded the cube until it was a 2-d shape.

To make the treasure chest, we used paper, protractor, ruler, pencil, scissors, and glue.

We had to draw a net for the chest and  one for the lid. Then we cut them out and folded them. Then we glued them together.
                     
                                                         My Reflection

                                               
 I have learned about nets. I've learned
 to use a protractor and ruler to make correct angles.
I found it tricky to rule the correct angles.
I found it all hard because the paper at the top kept bending.
I liked folding up the squares to make a 3-D shape.

Mikey the Frog

We are learning how to write a ballad. A ballad is a poem with a special rhyming pattern. The rhyming pattern on this ballad is ABCB. This means that the second and the fourth line rhyme with each other. There should be four lines in each stanza, or paragraph. This ballad was about Mikey the frog.  I enjoyed writing this ballad.

Landing a job

I was in a play called Landing A Job. It was about a parrot who doesn't like working for the Pirate Chief. We were learning to speak out to the audience on stage. I had to speak nice and loud. I had to act like a pirate. Or a parrot or a seagull there like birds who lives in the sea. I want to act like a pirate chief. Pirates can hunt for treasure. Treasure is a shiny peace of gold coins. If they found gold treasure they are rich.

Repeated Adition

Diary post T2 W8

The last fortnight I have been learning about football you can  kick the ball and pick up the ball and throw the ball when someone from the other team kicks the ball I throw the ball back to the other team they kick it back to you. And the other team kicks the ball back to you. And if you're team  is out they win. If the other them is out you're team wins.

And I think that were the champion's for a while. And if we lost than the other team were the champion's for a while and they get a prize and they win forever and if they lose then we win forever.
And if it is a tie that means both teams are the champions for a while.

And only one team wins that is my team I am so proud of my self. And my Mum and Dad was so proud of me.

On Tuesday we have Terrific Tuesday.  Every Tuesday we go to different classes for stuff for Terrific Tuesday. We go to vintage games, science or art and other things. At vintage games we can play any game, like connect 4 or Chinese checkers or twister or monopoly.  Connect 4  is a challenge  and you have to put 4 in a row up  and down, sideways or diagonal and if you're done one game , you go to another game and a new game  When Terrific Tuesday ends we go back to our own class.  I enjoyed this Terrific Tuesday because it is a fun day and I enjoyed games.

Grid Value Portrait

WAL about value in art which is how light and dark something is.

Process;

We learnt about the artist Chuck Close whose pictures were made up of tiny squares.
First I took my pencil for a walk. Next I filled the space with patterns to show dark and light. If I put patterns far apart it looked light. If they were close it looked dark.
Next I had to learn how to enlarge. We practised enlarging a picture using squares.To make a picture bigger I had to make the squares bigger.
I had a photo of myself and I drew squares on it. Next I drew big squares on a big piece of paper.
I had to follow the squares to draw myself then I had to shade to show dark and light.

The tricky part was to draw different patterns.

My favourite part was when I could see my face coming.

persuasive techniques in commercials

I was learning how to use persuasive techniques.
 

We had to work as a group to plan a script for an ad for parents  convincing them to get their children active in the holidays. Then we did an animation  using  powtoon to record our voices on the ad.
step1 On Monday we began by talking about our holidays to get some ideas.
step 2 Then we did a brainstorm.
step 3 We had to write a script. We decided to give everyone a part.
step 4 Then we had to read our lines or parts to create the animation. To make our advert appealing to the audience we recorded our voices and Artemas was the expert.

We learnt about six persuasive techniques  ;
1.slogan
2 . repetition
3 .testimonial
4. expert opinion
5. emotional appeal
6. band wagon
In our ad we used expert opinion so we could convince  parents to get their children active and playing outside in the holidays.

We could improve the background so that we could have a better video.
We could include other persuasive techniques so that our ad becomes more appealing to parents.

Easter egg Hunt

                                              We went to the auditorium for the easter egg hunt on
                                                wednesday then we had to take a clue that was paper and some teams                                                       have a bit of trouble finding an egg that was gold with letters behind
                                                    it can be any letter behind an golden egg that is made of cardboard
                                                       it can take longer to be finish and you can pear up with teams

                                                           from other year 6 classes. And at the end we each got a                                                                               chocolate egg each.

Peer Mediator Video

WALT use the Peer Mediator Process

My Reflection

In our movie clip Keiran was fighting with Mikey for the ball. I was the Peer Mediator and I listened to the problem. We decided to share the ball and play together. We shook hands and the problem was solved.
I learned that sometimes another person can help solve problems.

Term 1 week 5

I have been learning lots over the last three weeks at school.

I have been learning how to make music with our bodies.  We use our hands to slap our body and that makes music.  It is fun.  I can tap on the ground using my feet and that makes music.

I have enjoyed Youthtown because it is exercise and keeps me fit.  Megatron and Brad are two guys that come and do sport with us.  I have learnt to play capture the flag, this is when each team has to tag you. If someone from your team help's you to get out from the other team's capture area then the other team doesn't tag you.  You have to run fast and try not to let the other team catch you.

I have been learning how to make a portrait of myself. I started to draw myself and I have been drawing patterns using a chequer board. And i have done some dark colour it is called shouting with your pencil. Then a whispering pencil is light coulor.

It was a bit tricky because it took me a long time to write some words correctly.
