My Gamefroot!

For the past 3 weeks, I've been learning how to use a coding site call Gamefroot. (Check out my unfinished Gamefroot here!)
When I was making my game I felt like throwing my chromebook outside the window but I persevered!
I didn't get to finish my game because I didn't get enough time.
I enjoyed coding my sprite such as making the camera move with the sprite so it doesn't go out of my view.
I found it challenging to code my sprite because I still can't figure out why its keeps doing the wrong action!
Next time I will try and find out why it keeps doing the wrong action!

June Reflection!

Today, my class was doing a June Reflection. We do these so we can reflect on our learning and share it with others.
I enjoyed filling out the reading box because we learned about Matariki and Matariki is Maori which is my culture!
I found it challenging to fill out the maths box because I couldn't think of a maths problem I was learning to solve. We have been learning about Financial Literacy. You can read about it on one of my earlier blog posts.
Next time I would change the selfie because I bet I can take a better one!
My digital learning object shows that I can embed a screenshot.

Financial Literacy (Money)

For 2 days, My class has been learning about financial literacy.
Financial Literacy is when you learn how to earn money in different ways and how to save and budget it.
Early in the morning someone called Callum from ASB get wi$e was telling us about financial literacy.
I enjoyed researching the cost of what im saving up for.
I found it tricky to plan what i'm saving up for.
Next time I would work faster.

Matariki

This week, My class has been learning to compare and contrast.
In my class for this week we've reading about Matariki and comparing the 7 stars from other countries such as Inuit, where the bears chased the maidens.
I enjoyed writing the information down.
I found it tricky to find a background because they didn't seem to look right
Next time I would change the background.

Student Led Conference Invitation

This week my class has been learning how to write an invitation.
Firstly, I had to make an avatar on Avatar Maker. Then I claimed a slide and started writing and decorating my slide, this was for the inside of our invitation. We had to make sure our invitation had where it was, the time, date, who it was going to and who it was from.
I enjoyed making an avatar because it was easy.
I found it very tricky to crop the text box in the slide.
Next time I would make the avatar bigger.

What is bee balling? - Explanation writing

For a few weeks, I've been learning how to write explanations. My success criteria was to use a diagram, label my diagram and explain my diagram. I enjoyed researching information because it was easy. 

I found it challenging to make my writing make sense.

Next time I would work faster on my writing.

What is bee balling?

Bee balling is when the bees surround the imposter or a queen bee that doesn’t lay eggs anymore.

Firstly, the bees slowly form a ball around an imposter or a queen bee that can’t lay eggs. When there are enough bees the ball slowly warms up and the body temperature of the bee inside the ball gets really hot and dies. 

They do this to protect their honey. They also do it because the queen bee doesn’t serve a purpose in the hive anymore.

Lastly, when the queen has died a new queen starts and they go in a continuous life cycle.

Did you know that bees sting other bees and if a queen bee meets another queen they fight to death to see who can survive.

Perseus

This week, I was learning to infer. (Inferring is when the story gives you the clue but not the answer).
I enjoyed writing down the ways to describe Perseus.
I found it challenging to arrange the text boxes.
Next time I would change the colour of the background.
My digital learning shows that I can use Google Drawings.

Tapa Cloth

 This week for Samoan language week, my class did a thing called a Tapa Cloth we didn't properly make one because we didn't have a cloth but, we used cardboard called Sugar Paper instead! I enjoyed dying my Tapa Cloth because it was the easy part. I found it challenging to draw the outline of the lines. Next time I would try make the lines straighter.

Piskel Sprite

Today for Cybersmart, I was learning how to make a sprite using a site called piskel. A sprite is a avatar or virtual object that you can create by using piskel. I enjoyed making my piskel because I could create my own avatar! I found it challenging to get the right skin tone on the colour pallette. Next time I'm going to finish my avatar fully so it looks complete!

 Here's my Sprite!
