Gamefroot

 For the past 3 weeks my class has been coding our own games I have still not finished my game but I have almost finished my first level. I found it hard to code the gravity because of when I jumped it was like there was an invisible barrier. but then some one in my class called james showed me way It was happening.I found It easy to code the background because you did not have to code that much on it.The next time I code the game I am going to add things that you can die from. In the future when I have finished my game I hope there will be 4 or 5 levels in it and I will hopefully make another game.,click here to try my game out: here

June Refection

To day we were doing our june reflections. we had to write what our favorite bits of this month were and write what we were doing for reading,writing,and maths.We put a self of what we look like from this month.I found it hard to do my game fruit and my mathas. I found it easy to write what we were doing for reading.Next time I would change the background.here is my work.

Financial literacy

 This week for mathas we  were learning about Financial literacy. A man called callum came in and he talked about money and what types of things we could do to get it .he said that most kids my age get a round 15 dollars a week. he was part of the asb get wise group. he talked about a thing that is called the 3 sss they stand for strengths,solve and start. then he said you can get in groups that go up to 3 people. I got in a group with two of my friends there names were jake and michael. we thought of an idea were we would do youtube about gaming cause we are quit good at it.But then the teacher said that you have to be 13 or have an adult with you.  so we could do our idea but there was no time to do a new idea.Then calum said put up your hand if you want to show your idea to the class.Then after that his time was done in our class.

here's my work from this week.

matariki

 This week for reading we about matariki in new zealand and in one more country. And then we had to write what are different things and what are the same things about the two country.I chose a story that is called the onion wives it is about 9 wives that ate to many onions so there husbands   kicked them out and but then they regretted there decisions but they had disappeared in to the sky. 

here is my work. 

Student-led conference invintation

This week we were making student-led conference invitations I gave my invitation to my mum and dad.they are coming So they can  see what I'm learning about I am going to show them my blog and some other things that I have done in term 1 and term 2. This week we were learning to shape the text. we made our own avatar  we had to make it look like us. we had to put in what times they can book how they can book and where they would come.It was easy to do the writing because of we just did almost the exact  same stuff as what the teacher did. but I found it hard to put the card together.

here's the inside.

Art

 This week for art we were doing some of tom ferdos work. we were learning to use both sides of the paint brush, long brush strokes, bright colours, bold lines and tints and direction. we were blending lots of the colours with white to make them look real. for the hair we mixed the orange and the red together.we could make the eyes green,blue or brown. I picked blue because it looks the best to me. I found it hard to stay in the lines and blend the colours together. I found it easy to draw the lips and colour them in with the paint brush.  next time I would do some different colors because lots of them were the same as what the teacher used or the same as tom fedro. The last step of the art is to do the black lines.

Here is my art for this week.

Maths - Measurement

 This week for maths we were learning to  do measurements. We had to measure how long our desks were, how tall the window was, how tall the door was, how tall we were and our buddies. My buddy's name was Baxter.. My buddy was taller than me and his feet were bigger than my ones were. Some things we used to measure were a metre ruler, cm rulers and a measuring tape. We used the metre ruler more than the other rulers. 

here my work is.

The Minotaur.

 This week for reading we had to read a story about a prince and a monster called the minotaur. The king was sacrificing people to the minotaur so a prince wanted to kill the Minotaur because he did not want any one to get sacrificed any more. When he had finished the maze he sar the minotaur. It was a big battle but then he killed the minotaur. But he jumped off into the ocean. 

We also had to do a wanted poster, I had a buddy that did it with me his name is Michael. We made our own person and his name is Snake Eye. He has weakness and strengths. We stared to do a maze but we did not want to finish it because was to hard. We also did one more thing did - a slide that my whole group worked on but some were away. Willow was only there for one day so she did not finish in time. we are learning to infer. Infer means to found the answer to a question that is not in the text necessarily. Here is the wanted poster. 

 

and here's the slide.

how honey is made

This week for writing we were doing explanation writing you got to pick a topic of what you want to explain I wanted to explain how honey is made. we had to make a diagram and show the different parts of the think we were doing  we had buddys to pear assessment with my buddys name was michael. There was a sheet that your buddy would write on there were two things they think you did good on and one they think you need to work on.And then you do that to them  his topic was about why giraffes have purple tongues.

this is the diagram I used.

  

                                                    How honey is made

Honey starts as flower nectar.that bees get that gets broken down into simple bits of  sugar bees get nectar by sucking plants and flowers they store the nectar in a place called the honey stomach and then when the bees get a full load they go back to the hive. A bee can take two minutes to do all that.

christmas time in samoa

 This week for reading we had to write what we do in zealand ,samoa and  scotland for christmas. we were learning how to infer I found it hard to infer and I found it easy to write what me and my family do at christmas time. In scotland they sing christmas carols and in samoa they go to church to see there families.

my tapa cloth

This week is samoa week so we did some samoa art the teacher showed us some different patterns that they do. Then we draw the patterns on a piece of paper we had to do two patterns each  then color in some of it with crayon. And in the last little bits we dyed. This only took me like one day.  

sketch

 This week we did sketchings I stared to do a kitten but it was to hard so then i tried one more time but i did not like it so I did a  wolf and that took me one try. There were lots of things you could do here are some you could pick a kitten,wolf a penguin, gorilla,a seal and a dolphin and some other ones.  

My Piskel Spirte

This week Mrs Torrie came into our class and showed us how to use Piskel Sprite, we were making our own sprite so that we could use it if we ever coded a game. My spirits name is Jet man, he is not finished yet as I ran out of class time. I like the piskel app because you can make a lot of different things. My first spirit was way to small and the next ones face I did too big. If you do this remember to save it and change the sizes to both 128.I will add the finished one to my blog when I finish 

Here is my Sprite, Jet Man.
