My Advice For The Year 6's Next Year

This is my advice for Cybersmart Learners In 2016. Next Year the Year 5's need to learn how to do these things at the begging of the year so they're ready for the other three terms.

Relays With The Seniors

This is what my class and I did about two weeks ago. We did relays against Rooms 10, 11 and 12. Sometimes we win, sometimes Room 11 wins and sometimes we tie with Room 11.

First Day Doing Homework On My Chromebook

This is the homework I did last week. This is my first homework on my Chromebook. It was really fun and interesting. Take a look what I did.

Touch Rugby

For the past few weeks we have been doing touch practice. Here is a little bit more information.

My Comic Evaluation

This is My Comic Evaluation. Before I did a comic with James and Sylvia.

Snagit Reflections

This is my reflection on my Snagit. On here it shows the steps, the great things etc.

First Day!

Yesterday some parents came to Room 9 to look at the learning we did on our chromebooks. We created a WeVideo which basically shows what we know how to do. It was fun taking our chromebooks home. I’m looking forward to taking it home today again.

The Film Festival

This is my recount of the film festival last Wednesday. It was really fun. I hope we're going next year too. If we do, I hope we make a movie in Room 11.

Don't Be A Bully (A Comic For Bullies)

I created a comic with my classmates James and Sylvia. It is based on bullying.

Snagit Time

This is my Snagit that I have created with Henry from Room 10. The classes Rooms 9 and 10 from Ruapotaka school created Snagits for our favourite movie/s, our movie we created and our class sites. 

We Video

This is my We Video. It shows some of the things that I know how to do in my learning.

24 hours after the world cup, Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Ma'a Nonu, Tony Woodcock, Conrad Smith and Kevin Mealamu of the All Blacks retired. Dan Carter retired after his one hundred and eleventh test, Richie McCaw retired after his one hundred and forty fifth test, Ma'a Nonu had one hundred and three tests after he retired, Conrad Smith had ninety four matches when he retired, Tony Woodcock had one hundred and eighteen tests after he retired and Kevin Mealamu had one hundred and thirty two tests after he retired.  

My Book Reviews

I did a book review of some of the books that I read. It has a contents page and pages with the author, illustrator, a plot summary and some other things.   

The Mad Scientists

Last Wednesday we created some science using cups, water, shaving foam and food colouring. It was basicly an experiment. First we filled the cup a little taller than half way. Then you fill the cup up with some shaving foam. Make sure there are no gaps. Then you put some food colouring on top of the shaving foam and it will look like it is raining. The shaving foam was the clouds, the water was the air and the food colouring was the rain drops. This experiment was based on the water cycle.

The Special Guest

This morning we had a special assembly. It was a Duffy assembly with a little twist. This man named Myron Simpson came to our assembly. Myron is a Duffy role model but also a New Zealand cyclist. He stated riding bikes when he was 3 years old. He went to the junior cycling cup when he was 8. The fastest speed he has ever gone on his cycle is 110 km an hour.

Compare and Contrasting Blogs

In room nine we had to compare and contrast 2 people's blog. I did Jayden and Harry's blog.

My Awesome Blog Comments And Tips.

RONALD MCDONALD

Yesterday Ronald McDonald came to Ruapotaka School. He sang a song about crossing the road safely and wearing a seatbelt whenever you go in a car. He couldn't find his red and white sock, so we helped him find it. We had to go on a journey to school and hopefully find the sock. We walked across the streets carefully by looking and listening.

How the Water Cycle Works

WATER CYCLE

How does the water cycle work? Well firstly water comes from a tap or river. Then it evaporates and goes up into the clouds. When it reaches the clouds it turns into clouds. After that it turns into a raindrop or hail. It only turns into hail when it is a storm rain. Then it falls down until it lands somewhere.

There are three types of water. They are gas, solid and liquid.

DID YOU KNOW?

When the water vapours it cleans through drains and sewers.

AND ALSO DID YOU KNOW?

When water evaporates it could be frozen from the clouds and turn into hail.

And once the water cycle starts it never stops. Only in the desert and some places in the Pacific Islands.

Secure Passwords

We Are Learning To create strong passwords and make our Google account secure. Every time you log in to your account make sure no one looks over your shoulder. Don't make your password too easy because people can easily hack into your account. If you log in to your account on another computer always log out of the computer. Always have a different password for each account you have. If someone already knows about you don't put too much about your identity. You could do a line from a song like Jack and Jill went up the hill. You could do only the first letters of the words like J&JwUtH.

Being a Cybersmart Learner By Jack Daniel

We have been learning keyboard shortcuts on our chromebooks. We want to become smart users so we can be Cybersmart digital learners. My top tip is based on a keyboard shortcut that I use because I always make mistakes. So I use this keyboard shortcut. 

Letters From Home

Gallipoli Peninsula

Turkey

28 April 1915

Dear Mum, Dad and Siblings

We have arrived here at Gallipoli and with our big army ships. I can smell the blood everywhere I turn. I follow my team mates to avoid being shot at. Luckily there are a lot of us so that gives me an advantage of staying alive. Every time a team mate has died it feels like I've lost a person in my family.

Everywhere I look all I see around me is blood and dead bodies. I use the bullets that are dropped to shoot the other team. I stay in the trenchers to hide.  

I am enjoying the soup you sent from home it is better than the food we eat here. I am so happy to be surviving and I am trying to protect my team mates. One of my team mates pushed me out of the way and he got blowed up by a tank. I tried to save him but he said go and survive so I left him behind and he broke his body in half.

From Brian O‘Conner

I miss you so much son and I can not be more prouder of you. I'm glad your surviving. Please don’t go out into the battle to much. I can’t stop crying but I’ll bet you’ll be fine. If you come home I have a surprise for you. Write a letter back to find out what the surprise is.

Love From Your Lovely Parents and Siblings
