Tech - Graphics: Making A Logo

Today I made a logo and slogan for m made up charity.

Teaching Simple Algebra

Today I created a short slideshow that talks about simple algebra. I hope you will learn from my small talk!

Earbud Art

Technique: I took 5 earbuds and stuck them together, then I dipped them in paint to make dots for the leaves.

Colour: I mixed the colours together to make the different coloured leaves. From the branch out, the colour goes from dark to light, as it is the start of Autumn and the end of Summer.

Success: All the things that were good in my art were....

The way the colour faded from one season to another.

The shape of my tree (it looks like a windy day).

The silhouette tree trunk.

The highlights.

What I need to work on: I think the main thing I need to work on is the way I place my branches, because some of them were just too close to each other.

Cooking With Room 7 & Writing a descriptive paragraph!

WALT write a descriptive paragraph about a muffin

Today in our class, Group 1 (All girls and 1 boy) got to bake muffins with Mrs. Tulumi. We are learning to describe the muffins using our 5 senses, and one paragraph...

Smell - When I was helping to stir the muffins with the electric whisk, I could smell the sweet sensation of cocoa powder, sugar, milk and eggs. It smelt sweet and pleasant

See - The mixture was brown, of course, and it looked creamy and very rich. I could see that the mixture was good looking and attractive.

Taste - Above is a picture (1st one) of my friend Temu and I tasting the mixture. It was sensational! The mixture tasted so scrumptious. And it was very moist and soft as well.

Feel - When the muffins were baked, and we pulled them out, I could feel that the crust was crunchy. The muffins themselves were fluffy and puffy at the same time!

Hear - When the muffins were finished baking, I heard the alarm warning us, so I scurried along to the oven with a bunch of friends and we carefully hoisted the muffin trays out. Outside of the school kitchen, I heard kids running around playing. It was an enjoyable day.

How the Key Competencies Help Us Become Successful Learners

There are 5 different Key Competencies. To remember these 5, you can use the word ‘TRUMP’.

Thinking, Relating to others,Using language, symbols and texts

Managing self, and Participating and contributing.

These things are all important, and they can help anyone to become successful learners.

Thinking helps us to become successful because you can use your mind and your brain to help your succeed in all of your learning areas. You can think when you write, you can think when you read, and you can think when you do math and sport as well. When you think, you focus and concentrate on whatever your task is. Thinking helps you to comprehend more.

Relating to others can help you succeed, too! Relating to others in your classroom can mean making a connection. This means that you can work well with others in group work or teams.

When you relate to others, you are showing them that you can communicate well and work cope with your classmates.You can  relate to something that they have done as well, so this will help you to develop confidence and speech skills.

Using language symbols and texts means to read between the lines and clarify something. In my personal opinion, you can use this strategy to help you achieve good grades in your math areas. It can also mean being a smart and intelligent learner in class. You can confidently share your ideas with your classmates, teammates and especially your teacher. It is also when you can interpret images and understand them fluently and well.

Managing yourself in class can be when you listen to the teacher and show respect for everyone around you in class. This is all about being an honest learner and showing deep responsibility for your own doings and actions. It is about controlling your mind, brain and temper. It also includes setting goals that you will strive to succeed. Managing self can mean being motivated and concentrated.

Participating and contributing at school is important, too. You should always try your best in everything that you do at school. When you participate and contribute, you are actually giving your time to try something you have never done before, or something you have already done. You can use this skill when you are practising a sport. Even if you’re not confident with these skills, you should always try your best, because you’d never know where you might get to and what you might achieve throughout your school-life and onwards.

..

In class, we had to write an explanation on Key Competencies, and how they would help us to succeed academically. I just finished writing mine.. I hope you enjoy.

Bye for now, readers!

Collaborative Learning

Today I grouped up with some of my classmates to solve a problem. The challenge was to find out how many lollies 4 boys had. We all helped to work out each answer to each of the 3 or 4 questions that were asked.

A Good Score

Today I did a maths assessment on a site called Prototec. I used the Timed mode and sat Stage 8.
I always thought that Stage 8 was the most difficult of all, but once I put my mind to it, I knew I could
do it. I ended up having a pretty good score, 52%. I was happy with my score, and even though I
didn’t get 90% or over, I decided to post this on my blog.
