Four ways to look after your Chromebook

In Cypersmart this week, we had got into small groups and created videos, posters, animations etc, about how to look after you Chromebook.

Hannah & I made a  poster but turned it into a video, using iMovie. Here is the video, hope you enjoy!

Here is the original poster:

First post of 2017 - Being a YMS HERO

This week we have been revisiting on how to be a YMS HERO. HERO stands for: H-Healthy Individuals, E-Enthusiastic Learner, R-Responsible, O-Open Minded Explorer. These are the values we follow and obey. We had the task of making a drama with our group.

Our group chose the playground, and Healthy Individuals. We chose to be sun smart. We show someone not wearing a hat and gets told off because they didn’t have a hat on so a ‘teacher’ comes along and gives her a hat. Here is the video:

And we hope you enjoyed our video, and it taught how to be sun smart.

Raft Building And Last Post Of The Year

On Friday, Rimu class went to Bridal Path for a short hike. The start was kinda hard but it got easier as we went. I liked the hike because of it's amazing views but the thing that I didn't like was how hot it was. I was exhausted by the time we got to the top of the mountain.

After a quick photo we started heading down the other side to go back to the cars. Going down the hill was way easier than going up, but I had to be careful going down because I nearly face-planted. Finally we got to the bottom and started heading to the cars to go to Corsair bay for Raft Building!

Eventually we could put our water proof jackets on and life jackets on and start building our rafts. We had to build our rafts out of rubber tyres and rope. It was really fun making it, but it was way more fun using them in the water. In our groups we had to go to the floating platform in the water and get everyone from our team on the platform.

Have a great Christmas, bye!

Here are some photos from our trip:

Tic Tac Toe DLO

For the past two weeks, the year 7 & 8's have been doing a tic tac toe for our Arthur's Pass Camp. In my slide I have everything that I did for the tic tac toe, I have a 3D map of our lodge made on Minecraft, a picture of a Stoat using Google Drawing and a book about New Zealand Alpine Birds using Storybird.

Hope you enjoy!

    

Novel Study!

For the past few weeks, Rimu Class has been doing Novel Study. I chose the book 'Billionaire Boy' By David Walliams. Next time we do this I want to finish it on time. Here is my slide with all the Novel Study activities I did. Hope you enjoy.

Prototec Graph

On the first week of Term 4

Rimu Class have been using Prototec to help us with our maths and we have been recording our results on google drawing. I have been working on Stage Six, I think Stage Six is good for me because it’s not too hard and it’s not too easy. This is important because you will need to use it all the time. You will use maths everywhere like for example if you are sewing you will need to use maths.

Here is a picture of my Prototec graph that I made.

A horrible birthday present

Today for 100WC the prompt is   '…as the smoke cleared…' I really like this prompt because it really made me think of what I could do for 100WC. Hope you enjoy my 100WC feel free to leave a positive comment!

I was on a plane to Hawaii. I was feeling uneasy because of how high up we were. I was sitting next my older sister, she was staring out the window. We were going to Hawaii for her birthday I was hoping that this trip would not be a disaster.

All of a sudden, CRASH! I could smell fire and all I could see was smoke.

Finally as the smoke cleared I saw everyone on the ground. I started searching for my sister. Finally I found her, she was still breathing. I picked her up and started looking for shelter...
