Scratch Animation

To create this scratch project, I used 4 different sprites(characters), different commands and some sound effects. The commands I used were switching back drops and many more.

Burger model plan

For writing, my writing group had to come up with narrative using a burger model. The burger model plan helps us order the different parts of the narrative so that I know what order to write it in.

Kauri Island

Here is the link to a presentation that Linda Kiki and I made using animations. I thought using this app(Pow Toon) was a very creative way to present our work for this weeks reading work.
This weeks reading work was about how Kauri trees were chopped down so we had to create a creative way to present what we have learnt from the story "Kauri Island".

Mathgicians

Today in Mrs.Tofa's Mathematics group we spent a wonderful  time discussing different strategies we had used for our maths problems. Like Place Value, doubling and halving, rounding and compensating, using proportional adjustments and splitting factors multiplicatively which I found very difficult. 

Fruits/Vegetables

Today for inquiry my group had to identify where the certain fruits/vegetables came from. For example a onion grows from the root of tree.

Strong Earthquake Hits Christchurch

Just eight days after the anniversary of the 2011 Christchurch massacre, a terrifying earthquake shocked the whole of Christchurch. No harm was done to the residents but the earthquake caused cliffs to collapse in several places and spreading large clouds of dust across the sea and hills. There were to be at least more than 40 after shocks and signs of liquefaction.

Judging on what happened 5 years ago, I can imagine that the residents living in Christchurch would be feeling terrified, anxious and for some traumatized by the experience. For others it brought back a lot of feelings and memories of those lost or those who were effected by the earthquake.

This event happened at exactly 1:13 pm on Sunday the 14th of February 2016.
