Tapa Artwork
Hey guys, Today I was doing some Tapa art work on Google Spreadsheets/Drawings. I choose to do it on Google Spreasheets, but during the end I wanted to switch.

Chinese Proverb
Nǐ hǎo, Today we did another Proverb DLO. But this time it was in Chinese/Mandarin because of Chinese language week. This was really hard because it was in another language, but once I got the translation it was a lot easier. The DLO I did was A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with one Step, which meant if you want something or you want to get somewhere you have to take the first step. I hope you like it and you learnt something. Blog You Later
Area of Multiple Shapes
Hey guys, Today I did a DLO on how to find the Area of multiple shapes. First, we looked at our teachers demonstration which looked easy. Then we had to do ourselves, I found that bit a little hard at the Beginning. But I slowly understood and was able to finish it. This will be very useful for me when calculating Area of weird shapes, Because I will be able to cut them up into basic shapes then find the Area. So thank you Mrs Mundy. I hope you like it and remember to comment if you learnt something. Blog You Later.

I hope you like and remember to comment if you found them bit tricky aswell. Blog You Later

Chapter Book Challenge 2
Hey guys, For the past few weeks my teacher has been recording herself reading a book called Ban This Book which by the way is a great book that you should definitely read it. We had to a fill a out a bunch of questions based the book, The only thing I didn't like was that I had to wait till a video is made because for example one of the questions was to write a new ending and to do that I need the ending. But overall I found this to be very fun because I enjoyed the book. Next time I could start a bit earlier because I only started 2 weeks ago while the videos were coming out about 3-4 weeks ago. I hope you like and remember to comment. Blog You Later

Maori Proverbs
Hey guys, Today we did another Early Bird Challenge on Proverbs but this time it was in Maori. I found this to be a little challenging because this was a language that I couldn't speak so this required more searching, but then our Teacher told us where she got them from because one of the students found the site. But even though we found the site I still had to understand it and write it in my own words. Apart from that I really enjoyed everything and it was very fun. Next time I think I could try to add a few examples and better explain it. I hope you like it and comment if there is anything wrong with it. Blog You Later.

The Mystery of Angles
Hey guys, This week for maths we have been looking at angles. This was especially fun for me because love maths so I thought I might make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) on it to explain and show my understanding of it. You can find Angles every wher like Doors can have Acute Angles, while walls have Straight Angles and most commonly Corners have Right angles. I believe that every single thing has an angle. I think something I could do better is practise more so I fully understand it, I hope you like it and if you learn something comment. Blog You Later

Probability Challenge 6
Hey guys, Today we did another Probability Challenge with our whole class on Google Meet. All we had to do was make the greatest number with 7 numbers, but we did know any of them and they were read to us one by one by our teacher. I didn't like this at the beginning because I didn't know we had to make the biggest number, so I was just playing around with the numbers when my teacher told me we had to make the biggest number. Luckily we had another turn and I got the second biggest number. But overall I enjoyed the game, and I hope you like it. Blog You Later.
