how to find perimeter and area

 Guten tag, for maths we learnt how to find perimeter and area. Perimeter and area are a type of measurement here is a example for area and perimeter.

In case you don't know which is which here is what area is for example if I had a triangle and these were the sides 5m, 5m and 5m so do 5m x 5m = 25m so 25m is the area. here is a example for perimeter we will use the same triangle 5m, 5m and 5m 5m + 5m + 5m = 15m so 15m is the perimeter.

Thank you for reading my blog, see you later.

STEM week Waikowhai student led Toolkits

 Hello everyone, on STEM week a.k.a science, technology, engineering and math week. The senior and middle block had student led toolkits. The kids who went to the first student led toolkit did a toolkit that they went to and the kids who presented on the first toolkit did the same toolkit. Me and Cole had done spheros last time so we did it again and we got to do it two times! There was 24 presenters and 12 toolkits. here are the toolkits: Drones, Google Form, Word Art, Music Lab, Webcam Toy, Makey Makey, Google Maps, incredibox, Book Creator, Brain Box, Piskel, Slide Animation and Sphero. Here is what I did.

The start went well but some people were putting a hand up in the air and I had to keep saying we will do questions at the end. Half way into the toolkit a different group the drones who were in the other half of the hall came in because the Drones ran out of power so the Spheros were full of people. Here is the slide that we used take a look. 

The next toolkit I went to was Piskel I was a bit late so I had to catch up. I made a dragon not my best piece of art but it's good. I had no idea what to do but the dragon flying slipped into my mind so I got on it fast. Here it is take a look.

Finally the last toolkit most of it was the same the Drones came to Spheros but this time we had the ramp out for everyone to use. I really really enjoyed the day and I hope to do this every year. Goodbye see you next time.

Student Led Toolkits 2021

 This years Toolkits me and my friend Cole got pick to present in it, we did Sphero for our Toolkit for a bonus we got to present two times! The first time I though it would be hard but it kind of easy. The best thing was that we saw a lot of kids in our toolkit! there was no internet so we used a teachers laptop. when it was sandpit time there was a small problem one of the ipads that we had was downloading Sphero? One of them was out of power and there was one group left so I let them use my chromebook.  here is the slide that we used take a look 

Here is how you use Sphero: find Sphero edu, sign up by clicking sign up with google, click your email address, get your parents email, then click the drive button. Here is a small look at what it may look like.

The second part of Toolkits me and Cole went to word art Cole didn't like it but I did. I did one about fire, pink shirt, Mortal Kombat and lord of the rings.

The third part we did Sphero and some bad things happened. The first thing was in sandpit time someone was going to stomp on one but Miss Daly stopped them. The second thing was someone drove it down the deck stairs.

I felt great being a presenter and I hope to do it again.

Amazing Wellbeing

 Amazing Wellbeing

This week on Monday the year sixes went to Spark Arena so year fives had the morning with Miss McGrath. We did Wellbeing for the session because it was pink shirt week a.k.a anti-bullying week. We had a giant talk about the survey about our live in and out of school last term.

 After the talk we did a game called the musical gratitude game. You would walk around and when the music stops you talk to someone about what you are grateful for.

 Next we made a fortune teller which would compliment someone or help you feel better. Here is a video of how to make one. 

Finally we did a compliment circle you would stand in a circle and a teacher would start by giving a compliment to a student. The student would compliment to a second student and it went on like that. I said to pagie "thank you for helping me when I was stuck on the fortune teller".  The day was amazing it was super fun and I hope I can do it again. This is the end of my blog "thank you for reading my blog, see you later."

My Fitness Plan

In week one we made a fitness plan for our inqury. It was not that hard to make one but my fitness plan was hard here is a quick look at my fitness plan and by the way our goal for inqury is fitness.

I really wanted to push myself but the first one I didn't finish. The next one I got a crap and the last one I finished! We also have a Warriors traning diary, the two categorys we are working on, are good mates which is about team work and the second one was shut eyes, eyes wide.  This is about sleep. We write in it every day. Goodbye for now.

A day in the Trenches

Why is the gun fire so annoying. on Wednesday when I arrived one of my friend said were not allowed in even after the 8:30 bell. Then when we were allowed in we had to crawl under a bunch of string and we were going to stay under there for the entire class time. 

The first thing we did was a basic facts test in the trench. it was very hard because the teachers played gun fire in the background. After that we had to do push ups, sit-ups and leg stretches then we ate fruit but the thing was that the fruit was not the best.

Then we did math about Anzac the questions were like how many years did New Zealand fight in the war. Then we were allowed to go outside for play time.

It was easy to get my togs because had to go swimming during it started to hail it hurt but it was fun. When I got back we had to write a letter, this is my one take a look. 

Then we had lunch in the class. Second to last we listened to a book. Last but not least we cleaned up by we had a blindfold and collect a line of string. At the end of it I felt tired and happy. This is the end of my blog, 

goodbye and have a good day.
