Student Toolkits! 👦👧

                                             👬Hi blogging audience! My post is all about...👭
                                                         Student Toolkits! Yes you guessed it!

24 people got chosen to go to the Student Toolkits on Thursday 17th August (obviously) 2017. Some of the people included me, Dora and Joyce, my friends. It was held at New Windsor School. When we first entered we went to the auditorium and got our name badges with our sessions and names on them. There was this SUPER cool coding challenge at first, (I thought it was going to be one of those boring coding challenges, but turns out it wasn't) it was to get Sphero balls around cones and come back, it was a race. Sphero balls are these small robots that light up different colours. I've played with Sphero balls before at MOTAT in Auckland New Zealand. Afterwards we got to go to our first session, it was Powtoon. Powtoon is when you have a slideshow and get to decorate, it is very fun and cool. I might have my slideshow put at the bottom. Our second session was Prodigy. We have already played Prodigy before, I taught my friends how to get a home account because apparently Joyce (who introduced the game to me) doesn't even have a account, why you might ask is because her sister has a account! Joyce is currently level 35 and I am level 26. It was so much fun! After lunch we had a problem solving challenge, it was very boring to watch so I decided to work on my Powtoon. Then we put our name card/ID into a box for the draw, one person from each school got a chromecast, Stevie-lee got it from our school. Then it was time to do the draw for the presenters, you got lots of cool stuff if you were one of the three people to get a goody bag, you got some tape, decorative tape, a photo album and a sphere-o ball!🔮

I felt super excited about it that day, it was so fun! I didn't have any difficulties with anything even when the presenters from Christ the King School didn't lead us through the process and so we did most of the learning. It was very self explanatory.👑

Here are some videos of our feedback, there may be some from other schools!👦👧👨👩

Kahoot it! 😕

💗Hello online world! This is a exclusive post, it's about my Kahoot slide I made with my friends, Joyce and Dora. 💟

I hope that you will learn how to make a Kahoot by the end of this, unless you already have!
The other day, when I was just doing my work, One of our teacher Mr Riceman, called some names and told them to come to the yellow area of our new building, it is quiet space. That is where Mr Riceman told us that we could choose to present either of these two things, Kahoot making or Google slides animation. We chose Kahoot. We had to sort of 'audition' for the presentation part. This is what we call student Toolkits. I hope we get in! Don't you? Anyways, Mr Riceman begged and pleaded Ms Sands to let us work on our presentation in this block, Mr Riceman 'knows'  we'll catch up. So the we made it and colour coded it. (it wasn't much help, but at least I got to decorate the slide!) And as you can see, this post is to make up for the blogging sessions we missed, but it's also because I thought that it would be a good idea. Now this slide was NOT hard to make, BUT it did take a while. I hope you like it! (and the Kahoot about general knowledge on New Zealand and Australia, since we live in New Zealand, that Dora made!)👸👧👩

Learn your Suffixes! 💭 💬

Hi Everyone! Today my post is about Suffixes! I hope you learn something new!

We had a literacy task board and we were allowed to choose a task to do ( unless your teacher tells you to do a task on there) I chose to do a suffixes poster. The poster has some examples of suffixes in it, if it is not enough then there will be a video underneath my work.  I thought that it was quiet easy to do this task, it's just that I needed help from the SUPER annoying song. Otherwise it was completely fine. I hope you don't find the song annoying as much as I do.
An example is a worker, a person who works.

My Very Creative Writing: Watchwood Forest👀🌲

Hi everyone! Today my blog post is about my creative writing I did, it is called: 🌲The girl of the forest

What I did was go onto Pobble 365 and my image was called Watchwood Forest. I found that deciding the title was kind of hard because I didn't know whether to do The girl who survived or The girl who lived, but in the end I decided to do The girl of the forest. I really liked what I wrote and I hope you do too. Also don't forget to check out my other posts and don't forget to comment!

The girl of the forest

Eyes. They lay there, staring at her, deep into her soul.

It was just the most beautiful thing Rose had ever seen, yet not many humans lived long enough to see it. You see, Rose only the most well behaved girl you’d ever seen. It’s not likely for a girl like her to go there right? I mean, the teachers and all the adults tell the kids to never enter the forest, for if you do, you won’t live to see another day. But luckily for Rose that did not happen to her.

Rose was a kind girl, and then and now she always wondered if the so called ‘gruesome creatures of the deadly forest’ could actually be kind. She lay in her bed thinking about the thought, then, suddenly a thought struck her. She knew what she had to do, she slowly crept out of bed and made her way to the hanger where her coat lay. She was ready.

Smart Choices Comic Strip 😎

                         💭Hi Everyone! Today my blog post is about making smart choices online. 💬
I made a comic strip about making smart choices online with my friends, Joyce and Dora, we shared the document so that we could edit and do it together. I was the first baddy😈 ( the one with the messy hair), Dora was the second baddy👹 ( she was the one with the 'beard') and Joyce was the goody two shoes. We were being mean to Joyce (not actually though) and in the end the consequences were grave (not actually going to end up in jail unless you're an adult of course or a fine and if you're a kid then you get a serious telling off, please don't cyberbully!) because we ended up in cyber jail, but we said sorry and we never did it again.😄
I hope you get the message in here. 😃

Here are some links to my friends blogs:
Joyce: http://wpsjoycew.blogspot.co.nz/
Dora: http://wpsdoras.blogspot.co.nz/

I thought it was really easy in the making but, we mucked around a bit and in the end we hurried up do the writing!

My Kahoot! 🌍 Template

                                         😊Hi Everyone! Today my post is about Yuri Gagarin!🌎
Last week in reading, I caught up with my reading group because I wasn't at school for a week or more! I made my Kahoot! template and wrote some questions and I even started my Kahoot!, but sadly I didn't finish it😞, but I did finish my Kahoot! Template. If you can, try to answer some of these questions. ❓

I think I did pretty good seeing as I missed out on a lot. I think that when I try to do something random for my answers, it's actually pretty hard! The questions were easy to think of but the answers weren't.
Please have a look at my other posts and please comment!😃

De bono Thinking Hats used for New classrooms! 🎩

🍩Hey Everyone! This is a special edition 💎 post. By the way it is Hilary 😊 (even though you already know)😁


WALT use de Bono Thinking Hats to show understanding. We had to write a paragraph about the classroom in each of these speech bubbles. 🗨 My thinking hats have lots of information about what I like about the new classroom, what I don't like, what is creative, what are the facts ('cause after all the facts are facts, you just gotta face them) , what you should do know. Have a look at the information below! By the way if you don't understand what is going on, we are moving ( or rather already moved ) to a new building called Te Waka Ako ( as you can see in the embedded photo which means ), it has very cool furniture and we work together as a Syndicate sometimes, we mostly work in the Hauraki space (which is my space) which is biggest but we can also work in the Red Room. Our classroom is the coolest!!!!👾😎

I learnt what the blue and red hat means and ( I think ) how to use them. Here are some photos of the new classrooms and also a link that is relevant to my work.
