Using Canva

Have you used Canva before? Well for our RE this week we had a new focus we were learning about, service. For this task we have also learnt how to use Canva which has made this project even better Because it brightens our posters up and you can make it very eye-catching. After we logged into canva we had to choose a template and write service somewhere on the page so we knew what it poster was about. After we chose our template we had to add on the poster what  service looks like, sounds like, and feels like.

 I think I have successfully completed my poster and I really like it. But I did find it challenging to write in what service feels like. Please comment on what you like about my poster. Matewa

Beatitudes

 This week was social justice and we were learning about the beatitudes. We chose a quote from one of the beatitudes and made a poster with the quote and eye-catching colours and pictures. I really enjoyed this activity because I have never in my life heard of the beatitudes and I found it challenging to  choose which saying to choose because there were SO MANY! To choose from. Please when you comment tell me what you like about my poster and if you have ever heard of the beatitude.

Speaches

 SO this week was speeches . And we were learning in our writing how to write a persuasive piece and write the right sort of  paragraphs for this sort of writing. Obviously we learnt how to do this because we had to say our speech in front of our class. For this task we read our cameo for this week and wrote down the things we thought were most important for our writing. Like emotive language ect. I found it very challenge to write my speech but I enjoyed  presenting it.Please comment if you like speeches or not. Matewa.

Having a growth mindset is best 

Kia ora, ni hou,Malo Lelei,and hello this is my speech about why Having a growth mindset is best

Do you know what a growth mindset is? Or Do you always know you're gonna Come first and smash everyone or know your gonna come last and don't even try in an activity? Or do you even play differently to everyone else Like having goals to reach with things you find hard and being an awesome team player? Well I firmly believe that everyone should have a Growth mindset.

First of all Having a growth mindset is much better when you are trying to Achieve  your goals. Say if I had a fixed mindset And I was trying to fly to the moon If you had a fixed mindset I would say something like “I could never do this and should just give up or instead, if I do this, I will become rich,famous and  own the world. like that's TOO big of an expectation. But if you had a growth mindset you would break it into baby steps and not worry about how famous and rich you get and only enjoy that you have achieved something that was impossible before now. 

Secondly, having a growth mindset is healthy and good for your body. I know that when you have a fixed mindset about, say Maths you become very  confused and lots of pressure is put on you. Sometimes you can even end up throwing a tantrum not just at home but at school too.And I When you do this you're stressed and it is not good for you body and everyone else around you to listen to.

Lastly, having a growth mindset makes everybody happy. You may be wondering how having a growth mindset makes people happy? Well it is very simple. When you have a growth mindset your happy and you bring a good mood . Which is what everybody wants. SO when your happy it makes other people smile

So I think Everybody should strive for a growth mindset because it helps achieve your goals,Makes your brain healthy and puts you and other people in a good mood. I have one question before I leave: what sort of mindset do you think I have?

Is mr wolf guilty?

 I am sure you have heard of the childhood story about a little red riding hood. Do you think Mr Wolf is guilty or do you think he is innocent. This week we have written a persuasive piece of why we think Mr Wolf is guilty and not guilty. I thought he was guilty. For this task has kind of merged between reading and writing. For our reading we had to write our plan on our chromebook.I found this really fun because the hole class had different opinions. I found it challenging to write my plan because I never really thought if he was guilty or not. We are writing in persuasive because speeches are coming up and are learning how to structure it. Please comment if you think he is guilty or not.

LEGO!

Do you have lego?I have LOTS of it. One of today's tasks was about lego and the history behind it. It was SO interesting I will link the videos at the end. For this task we watched the videos and dove deep into when lego was first created. After we had watched the video we got to do the fun stuff, choose our lego challenge and build it. I chose to make a bridge, And this took ages for me because I wanted to make a Big bridge. On the up side it looked cool but on the down side I was very tired. I wanted my bridge to look unique so for my river underneath instead of drawing or just adding a flat boring rivier I chose to dig out all of the blue blocks I could find in my lego box and added two sharks and a jet boat. Here is the links to the video and my colourful lego bridge History Behind lego bricks  History about lego

 

Saint Joseph

 Today For RE we had to draw our school saint (which was for each house colour). Mine is Saint Joseph. Before we got onto the fun stuff we looked at a slide that had all of the school saints on it which told us what they were the patron saints of. I really liked this task because I like drawing /making things on google drawings. I found it challenging to get everything to look human like and it took me multiple time’s to draw the robe and hat. One of the last things we had to do was to add speech bubbles witch answered the questions that the teacher asked us to answer. Please comment on what I did and what you  think I could change.

Some words you can learn in tongan

 One of today's tasks was about tonga because it tongan language week.For this task we had to watch a video teaching us some easy tongan words. Our create was to make a slideshow teaching you some easy tongan words. I really enjoyed learning some new tongan words. Though I already knew how to say Hello because during the role we say hello in different languages. One new thing I learnt was to add a voice recording of me saying the words but I found that very difficult. Please comment if you already know some of these and some that I could maybe add on. Here are my slides.
