Coding fun.

Hey, On minecraft yesterday I did a coding activity on Minecraft. It was really fun and I liked helping the Illagers. I hope you like Minecraft just like me:) It was hard to find the right codes but easy to play with them. I really liked it because you went back to the tree and saw it grow! Here is my certificate:)

My Musical notes

 Hello, I have done 2 tasks today and this was my 2nd one. It was to make a Xylaphone out of paper. It was really easy and quite fun. I found out that if the cup is half full it means that it will make a low pitch sound and if it is quarter way full it means that it will make a high pitch sound. It was tricky when it came to taping them and the easy part was making the noise. I hope you enjoy my song, but what song did I make? Reply in the comments! Thanks, ( hint the song is a X-mas one:) )

Pigpen code.

 Hey bloggers, Pigpen code was really cool and I think it is really fun. I could read it really well. The beach is Piha and it is close to where my uncle lives. He lives in Auckland. The code that I used for the make your own was still pigpen because it was really easy to learn. I hope you start to learn pigpen because it is really cool! Here is my google drawing with the code for you to figre out! Hope you enjoy:)

Summer poems.

 Kia ora, Last week I missed a couple of activities and today I did the Summer Haiku. I did both activities because my teacher taught us how to make them and I thought they were fun! I screencastify-ed my 2nd one A.K.A step it up. It was really fun and I thought it was really cool. Next time I think I could of done it a bit better with the images, but other than that I thought it was pretty good. Have you ever made a Haiku poem? Was it really fun? I hope you enjoy my poems:) Merry X-mas ( 2 days away !) 

Santa's funky clothes.

 Hey,

Today for Summer learning journey 2020 we made a new outfit for Santa and I made one called Santa's Funky outfit. 

It was really fun and I liked how you could design it anyway you wanted.

Here is the image:)

Magnificent Maths!

Kia Ora My Friends,

Today I did a task called "Which one doesn't belong". It was hard at the start but got much more easier.

The end was my favourite part because we got to make our own one. I am going to add in my slide so you can try figure it out in the comments.

My crazy chorus.

Hey bloggers,

This is my 3rd summer learning activity and we had to make a song chorus.

I called it Be nice because it was about being nice. It took me about 10 minutes to create it. My chorus was hard to make because it was not very easy to put all the words in.

The inspiration was from the Mosque shooting here in Chch NZ 18 months ago. What would your chorus be about if you had to make one?

The Pavlova Butterfly.

 Hey bloggers,

This is my Summer Learning journey No.2 Insect Art!  To start with I watched a video about an artist named Raku Inoue.  He makes amazing insect art out of things he finds in his garden and other gardens.

I made a butterfly and with all the white and pink petals from the roses and a variety of summer flowers from our garden. 

My insect has a green body and lots of pink.  This is because they are summer colours in my opinion. The reason I called it the Pavlova Butterfly is because the white reminds me of the cream and the pink also reminds me of strawberrys on a pavlova!

If you had to make a Insect from flowers what types would you use?

See ya later!

Wacky Watermelons!!!

 Hey bloggers,

I have signed up for the Summer learning journey and today I did the teaser activity. 

The task was to use art colouring book and recreate a famous artwork in our own colours. I chose The Watermelons by Diego Rivera. 

The original by Diego Rivera 1957

When painting this he mixed sand in his oil paints.

The Wacky Watermelons by Amelia Osborn 2020

I chose these bright colours because Summer reminds me of brightness.

If you were going to recreate this art what type of colours would you use? 

JELLIE PARK!

 Hello, 

Yesterday we went to Jellie Park. Me and my friends went on the hydroslide together. Me and my friend Mabel were pretending to be rats going down sewers. the line was massive. It took about 3 minutes to get to the top! 

After that we had some food and the we went into the other pool and pretended it was the sewer pipe down into a poop pond. We put things over the rings and looked at the pool discustingly. A little later I went on the diving board, and it was so cool! After all the fun my lips were turning Purple! So me and Izzy hopped out and got changed.

About half an hour later I got changed again and went on the big diving board! It was so cool. I went on it with my friend Ella and did it like 8 or 9 times. Me, Ella and Caleb then went on the hydroslide and we made jokes about it. It was so much fun! Then we did some more diving and even my teacher Miss Smith tryed it out!

Then I got changed again and boarded the bus back to school. Have you been to Jellie Park before? 

Bye.

Speeches 2020

Sup dudes,

This week we had to do our Speeches in our homebase. My speech was about why I think I am like  a Sloth. 

It was way more easy because my teacher wrote my Introduction and 1st paragraph. The speech was easy to research but harder to write.

Have written a speech before? Hope you enjoy!!!!:)                                                                                                                      

NZ Sign Language Week

 Kia ora,

This week in NZ it is Sign language week and in literacy we were doing a task that ment we had to tell everyone the alphabet in Sign language. I did I with Mabel and Aliah. We made a slide with the alphabet. It took us half and hour-ish. 

It was really fun and I enjoyed it. Do you know sign language?  Here is the slide:)

Vocabulary fun!

Hello friends,


In literacy (chapter chat ) one of my yellow tasks are Vocabulary. I do it all on one slide called Vocabulary. All we have to do is find out the meaning of the words that my teacher finds in the book, Wonder. Here is the slide that I have used the past couple of weeks!

Moon Run Fun!!!

Hello,


Last weekend I did a 2km run in Bottle Lake Forest. It took me 10 minutes and 57 seconds. My last time was 12 minutes and 57 seconds, so I was 2 minutes faster than last time! It took lots of determination becuase I set myself a goal of beating my last time.


It was really fun but hard at the end close to the finish line. Hope you enjoy the images :) Have you done a run in the forest at night?

Fibonachi Sequences

Hey,

So this week is Math week and today we were learning about the Fibonachi Sequence. Our task was to make a Fibonachi Spiral and then decorate.

We also had to watch a video and read a couple of storys but rhe internet wasn't working so we could only watch the video.

It was really fun and I enjoyed it. Here is the photo:)

Inquiry (:P

Hey yo,

For Inquiry we are doing Technology and our first task was to find 3 pieces of useful Technology that will help the community in some way.

Me and Ella only did one because we had to find the  way that it was helpful in the community.  It was really fun and I enjoyed.

Have you used a slim card wallet? Hope you enjoy!

Dropping Beats

Hey, This week for Inquiry we were making music so I made a slide with all my work on it.
It is called Dropping beats, and I made a piece of music and an Album cover. I named it Woodlands.
I made it on Chrome Music Lab and used Song Maker. It was really fun and I enjoyed it alot. Here is the slide:)

Chapter chat fun

Hey bloggers,

This week for Literacy we are doing Chapter Chat and I chose to read Wonder.

In my book August is going to school and he has just had hallowen. I have just red Via's perspective and it was really good because she talked about her Grans and August didn't. Next I am reading Summer's perspective. Via has talked about how she sees August and when going home from somewhere like her Grans' house she sees August differently like everyone else sees him.

Next week we are doing Battle of the Books for Book Week. It was hard when we had to answer the questions as it challenged me to think a bit deeper but really easy when we had to do the activities. My favourite activity was the draw one. My least favourite one was the vocabulary.

Have you done Chapter chat before? Hope you enjoy:)

Terrific Timaru

Hey peps, 

This week I visited to Timaru for 4 days, and stayed with our Nana and Poppa and went to heaps of places. 

First we had sushi at a Japenese place. Max had karage chicken and I had sushi. It was really yummy. Then we went to the musem and saw a boat. Max was scared that the Big, Bad wolf would come out but it didn't. 

The next day we went to the pool and swam in the lazy river. Then we played Holiday and Happy Families. 

The next day we went out and had Pizza on the beach. On that day we also did brass rubbings. On the last full day we went to Farmlan and saw a pony that was following us. 

The best part was playing Holiday and Happy families.  We loved staying with our nana and poppa.

 

Here are the pictures...

Frost Run Challenge 2020

Sup dudes, This week I did a 2k run. I came 6th in my gender and 22nd out of 51 kids. My time was 11 minutes and 50 seconds and last time it took my 13 minutes an 57 seconds. Last time my place was 25 out of everyone and 11th out of all the girls. 

I am proud that I came 6th out of all the girls. I had to show determination and perseverance. 

It was really fun an I am going to do it next time for the night run in August. Here is my medal and my number.

 

Have you challenged yourself lately?

Cats with a Catstrophy of dogs...

Sup dudes,

This week we were doing a animtion about Cats on a serious mission and Me, Emily and Lucy made one together. We had to choose the images and then make them without thier disguise on. Me and Emily made the dogs and the cats without thier disguises on. It was really fun . Anyway, I will show you the slide. ENJOY:)

Super Story Board.

Sup dudes, This week I made a story board on StoryBoard That from a book called The Red Ball. It was really easy and I enjoyed it. The hardest part was doing the people and figuring out how to work out the movements and stuff. Do you like StoryBoard That? Have you ever used it? Hope you enjoy!

My favourite foods.

Sup dudes, 

This week for Inquiry I made a poster and a video to help Rowdy kitchen ( as you would already know because I told you in my last post:) The video was made on Adobe and the poster was made on Canva. It was made becuse Rowdy Kitchen is sort of new and they had to stop the food and stuff when we were in lockdown. The hardest part of making the video was finding all the stuff and information to add in and the hardest part on the poster was to find the best reasonsto go to Rowdy Kitchen. Here is the poster and the video.

Helping Rowdy

Sup dudes,
For Inquiry Me and my friend Lilly are doing Community engagement and we chose to help Rowdy Kitchen and we made a slide about it. In this post I am going to share the slide that I made so you can see it! It is not fully fi nished but it will be soon. Do you like Rowdy Kitchen or another cafe/bar?
Hope you enjoy! Have a nice day, See you soon:)

Waiting for writing

Hey,

For writing this week we were doing a slide called Dragon Writing and we have done at least 2 activities. First we had to watch a video and then wrote about it. The next day we looked at the next slide and chose a activitiy to do. I decided to chose the steps on how to care for a dragon and describe the dragon in the video. Have you finished any writing activities or done any writing about a dragon lately? Here is the slide with all the activities I have done.

Super smart saftey

Kia Ora,

For Cybersaftey we were asked to look at either of our teachers, look them up and do a treasure hunt with all the persanal information. We could use the pathway, the slide or a list. Here is the slide that I chose to look through with all the information. Have you done a Cybersmart class before?

Also here is both of my treasure hunts on other people's blogs.

It is a good idea to not tell people your full name, where you live, where you are going, your liscence plate and what day you were born. If you do someone could call your power company and say that they are you and can turn the power off.

My Corny Joke

Hello! For Inquiry we had to make a Adobe video about a real corny joke. Mine is ~ Why do all actors get told to break a leg? Because every play has a cast!!!!!!!!

Here is the video with the joke.                                      What is your corny joke?

Wonderful Writing

Hello bloggers,

In literacy we do some writing starters. First you choose a image from the site and then do a story on it!
I made 2 because we haven't started to do it for long.

The hardest part was to create the animation and find the images. The best part was creating the story.

The scource was slides and google sites. I hope you enjoy!

Awesome animation!

Kia Ora,

For reading me and 2 of friends have been doing a animation a a book called Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney.

We are still working on it so it is not complete. The hardest part was moving the Greg (aka the boy with the hair that is a small tuft) and changing the scenes around. The best part was putting the sunglasses on Manny when he was on the moter bike:)

What is your fave book? Have you read this book yet? Do you like Diary of a wimpy kid?

Here is the animation:)

Super SOL.

Kia Ora,

For Inquiry we were doing a SOL. Our SOL was about rejuvenation and we could present it in an Adobe, poster, slide and Biteable. I choose a Biteable and added some images to it. 

Have you made a Biteable before? Have you done a SOL? 

It was really fun because I like Biteables. The hardest part was fiding the information because it kept coming up with Skin rejuvenation clinic and that is not that helpful.

The source for the images was Classic FM and CCN. The source for the video was Biteable.

Here is the video, hope you enjoy. 

SOL on Biteable.

Name bug.

Greetings,

For my Maths this week we have been learning about co-ordinates, transformation, translation, fotation and reflection.  For one of the extra tasks, we had to watch a drawing tutorial. First we had to fold the paper in half and then write your name. Then we had to trace on the other side and colour it in. It comes out looking like some interesting style of bug!

It was very fun and I enjoyed it.

The hardest part was tracing it because my hands got sore.

 Have you made this art?

Stuff I have been doing.

Greetings,
Yesterday I made some LEGO and drew a picture. The LEGO was made by scratch and the picture was from a tutorial. I drew a Minecraft fox, and my LEGO creation was a Unicorn.

My next drawing will be a pig. The hardest thing with my drawing was that I had to do it lightly.

My next LEGO creation will be a cat. The hardest thing with my LEGO was that I had to find all the same pieces and not have missmatch colours.

What have you made with LEGO? What have you drawn? What have you been doing latley? 

Super Sofia

Hi,
In literacy we have to made another information report and I decided to choose Sofia Carson because she is a really cool actress.

I made it on a Adobe Spark.

It was really fun to make and my fave part was when I got to put it onto the Adobe Spark.

What have you done for writing? What have you done for literacy? Have you made an Adobe Spark before?

Cool cooking!

Hello,

Tonight I asked my Mum if I could help with dinner and she said yes, so I made a pie. The pies that we make in lockdown say thing like COVID-19, and we made one of these lockdown pies.

It said: "Level 2 baby, yay!" 

I cut up the mushrooms and also the onion. I also put them in the pie, and covered the pie in egg to make it golden brown.

 Have you made pie with a message on it? Have you made any pies? Have you made any cooking in lockdown? 

Art Attack!

Hello, Today I did some art and I actually did 2 pieces! One was a flower and the other one was a One point perspective.

The flower was based on a picture and was done in watercolour, and it was based off a tutorial on youtube.

                                                           

The other was made with pastel and acrylic paint.  It is a one point perspective piece of art and I followed another tutorial.

Do you like them? Have you done one of these before? I hope you watch them and then try yourself.

Mr Map.

Hi,

Last week we were doing some Geometry and we made a map with co-ordinates and instructions.

It was really fun making the map and drawing it! Have you made a map? Have you made the same map as me? Here is the slide we had to complete.  Can you follow the instructions to find the treasure?

I hope you enjoy it!
Amelia:)

Art time

Kia ora,

Today I made an piece of art called 'Girl looking into another dimension'. I followed a tutorial - here is the link to the video:) Art! 

I found the smudging of the pastels to make them blend, the hardest bit.  I also had a problem when the pen would not work on top of pastel, but we problem solved that!

I am really proud of my final piece of art.

Have you made something like this before? Have you made some art in lockdown? I hope you like it. 

The wonder of the book Wonder!

Kia Ora bloggers,
In reading we are doing book reviews and I made a Biteable on the book Wonder by R.J Palacio. Have you read Wonder? Did you enjoy it? What was your favourite part?

Wonder Book review. on Biteable.

Slow, Super Sloths - what do you know?

Kia ora,
For literacy we have been learning about information reports and we got to choose a animal. I chose Sloths as I love them an think that they are really fascinating.

I wanted to create this in an exciting way, so I learnt how to use Adobe Slate.

I hope that you learn something new when you read my report.  What was your favourite fact?  Do you have an animal that you really like and know lots about?

 

Beautiful barre

Hey bloggers,

For my dance I have to have barre work, and at the moment all of our lessons are online.  So since I am at home, I have had to use a really high chair! So my clever Grandad made me one and dropped it over today.  I had to sand it down so it was not rough, and then it was my job to paint it all.  I had to two coats and make sure that I did not leave any drips to dry.

I can't wait for it to dry, then I can practise my barre work!

Do you have any other lessons that you have to do online other than school?

See you soon! 

                               

Venice Vibes!

Kia ora,

Today for my blog post I did a drawing and it was called a One point perspective. It was really fun and it wasn't to hard. I thought that I would make it look like it was made in Venice because it had a water road instead of a normal road. Have you made a One point perspective drawing? What was your theme? Did you enjoy it? My one took about an hour because in the middle of making it I went out to go somewhere. I really liked that she told me that you should do a Y for the starting of the tree and then draw other Y's to make it look like a tree, and then thicken it out! 

Ka kite, Bye, See you next time!^﹏^

Special KFC night!

Kia ora,
Welcome back to my blog. Since we have been in lockdown we have not been allowed ANY TAKEAWAYS! So my Mum treated us to some homemade KFC! She worked all afternoon to make her own dinner rolls, she even cut the lid off a box of and drew the KFC sign on to paper, then she sellotaped it on the box. She filled the box with chicken tenders, chicken nuggets and coleslaw (my brother had carrot sticks because he doesn't like coleslaw). It was delicious!

My rating was 10 out of 10. We also watched the movie Desendants 2 while eating the KFC.

Have you had homemade takeaways since being in lockdown?
Bye see you next time!

Mighty Mary-Anne.

Welcome back bloggers,
My fave activity to to at home is reading, and this lockdown I have done SO MUCH reading!
I am living the dream! I am also doing a book review on The Babysitters Club, Mary-Anne saves the day written by Ann M. Martin and illustrated by Riana Telgemeier. I love this book because the text is in a style that a lot of people can read it with out having to ask a Parent or Caregiver to help them read it better. I dislike that it has a lot of problems that Mary-Anne has to figure out. My fave part was when Mary-Anne has to babysit a girl called Jenny Prezzioso and Jenny gets sick. Mary-Anne is kind and it is not surprising that she makes a new friend. My rating for this book is a 5 out of 5. I have a link that you can preview the book so here it is! Mary-Anne saves the day!

Amazing ANZAC.

Hi again bloggers,

Today is the day before ANZAC day and we have to do some activities about it.

So I did a diary page of a soldiers day at war and built a bunker for some miniature army men to survive in.

Have you done a ANZAC task yet?

ANZAC day lanterns!

Hi, 

Today me and my brother and me made a lantern.

First we kept the milk bottle and cut it in half, then we drew some poppys and then copied them onto the milk bottle, After that we put in the candles and we lit them!

Have you made a ANZAC lantern?

In the photo there is also a picture of my reusable poppy!
