Attributing Images.

Lately in Te Ngahere we have been  learning about attributing images.

We had to learn how to  make sure we are allowed use images online.

I learnt how to make sure I am allowed use images online without paying a

lot of money or getting sued for using them.

To make sure we are allowed use images online  we have to push three

battens tools, usage rights and creative commons. After you pushed all those

things it will come up with the photos you are allowed to use.

I see myself in the future using this technique to make sure I dont get

sued for using other people images or have to pay to use them .

Do you know how to attribute images?

Phishing And Scamming Learning

In Te Ngahere we have been learning to identify phishing and scams online.  If you don't know what phishing and scamming is it is someone who is trying to phish for your personal information and scamming is when someone is trying to  scam you for your money  I learnt how to identify if a site is safe or not. If a site isn't secure  it will have a red line across the search bar. To keep yourself safe online make sure not to share personal information on any site. 

Have you ever learnt about staying safe online?

Special Person Bio Poem

Today 30th of August Te Ngahere had to write a poem about one of  our family members I decided to write a poem about my mum. We had to follow the steps of this PDF. ( PDF )

 At the start it was hard for me to write down what my mum inspires me to do it was also hard for me to write the end phrase. 

I ended up skipping them and then I went back to them at the end.

What I found easy was answering what she likes and what she doesn't like also  4 words she says all the time. 

Have you ever done a poem before?

Learning The 4 Different Shots

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about 4 different shots.   We are  doing this to help us when we do our proper Imovie. To make sure we understand each shot we had to create an Imovie that shows all of the shots we learnt. The shots we learnt were   establishing shot,  long shot, medium  shot and  close  up shot. Establishing shot is the shot that tells you  where the story will take place. The long shot  is the shot that tells you how many characters  are in the Imovie. The medium shot is the shot that shows more detail and the  close up shot is the shot that tells you what the characters are doing or what they can see. I think my groups plan went well. We could of wrote the words bigger on the close up shot at the end . I think this learning  will help me with my proper Imovie because I now know all of those shots and it will be easy for me when I start my Imovie.

Do know what another shot is called?

Sience Fair Reflection

 In Te Ngahere we have been doing science fair. For my science fair project we were trying to find out which highlighter last the longest and to see if the cheapest highlighter last longer then the most expensive.  

The things I learnt was about fair testing a science experiment, fair testing a science experiment is when you only changed one variable. I also learnt about a control variable,  dependant variable and a independent variable. I learnt that a control variable is the variables that doesn’t change, the dependant variable is a variable  you can use to measure something and a independent variables are the variables that change. 

What I found hard was trying to find the topic at the start. Another thing I found hard about  my experiment was trying to figure out the best way to measure how long each brand of highlighter lasted.

We found  out if we had a wooden  meter ruler and a big piece of paper that was longer than a meter ruler we could rule meter  lines until all the ink runs out, Then we can count the lines at the end.

  The ink was going onto the ruler so we thought next time we can change the meter ruler into a plastic ruler or a metel ruler. The highlighters we were testing  were  Stabilo Boss, Office Max and Bic Marking. 

We found out that Stabilo Boss lasted the longest and Officemax and Bic Marking lasted the least.

The hoe I think I used the most was Kaha because when it was hard I didn’t give up and I kept going and I ended up finishing my science project.

Have you ever had a science fair?

Learning New Ways Of A Dot Plot

 Kia Ora lately In Te Ngahere we have been learning to analyze and create a  dot plot. The reason why we did this was so it could help us with the graphing in our science fair.  I learnt how to create a dot plot in my book and how to analyze a dot plot.

We had to look at a dot plot that had the data of how far the kids in room 1 and 2 threw a tennis ball. Then we had to make statements about the tennis balls hoom 2 and Room 1 threw were clustered.

For example by looking at the dot plot from room 1 I could see that the majority of the class threw between 14 and 19 metres. 

The next thing we did was create a dot plot using the data of room 2’s throws. Something I can tell from this dot plot is that more than half of the class threw the tennis ball 10m or more.  I was confused at first because it was new to me.  Also I was confused  how to share my learning using Google Slides. I used to think that a Dot Plot was like a graph and now I know that a Dot Plot and a Graph are different things.  What I think I could of done better in my DLO is explain the range better.


Most powerful Technology

 Yesterday the 4th of May the year sevens and eights went to Morewa, technology. We had to travel on bus from Paihia School to Morewa School. Once we got there we had to separate in year groups because the year sevens had to go to the cooking class with Whaea Dot and the years eights went to woodwork with Mr E. Because I am a year seven I went to cooking class with Whaea Dot. We were making Pizza.(How we made it) We first started by grabbing a big bowl so we can put 2 tsp of sugar and 2 tsp of yeast. Next we put half a cup of warm water into the bowl. Then we had to let it set in the warming draw for 10 to 15 minutes. While we were waiting we had to put ½  cup flour into a utility plate also a big table spoon of milk powder and  ¼  tsp of salt. Next  we finished by putting all the ingredients into the utility plate. We had to grab the bowl out of the warming draw and put  all of those ingredients from the utility plate into the bowl that had the yeast in it then we  mixed  them together. Then we  rolled it into a circle. Also we had to cut up all of our ingredients witch was onion, bacon, cheese, Tomato Paste, Garlic salt and Garlic Once we were finished cutting up all of our ingredients we had to put it onto the pizza and put it in the oven. We had to put it in the oven for 20 minutes till it is cooked. The thing that was hard for me is when I had to cut up the onions because it was making me cry. The thing I think I can get better at next time is learn how to use the oven properly. Once it was out of the oven Mahana and I decided to give eachother a piece and they were both delicious.

 Have you made homemade pizza?
