Easter Island Speech

W.A.L.T:
To write a speech about my mystery.
  • Firstly, introduce yourself – people need to know who is talking to them
  • Then ask for their attention – you are trying to convince people of something.  Be polite!
  • Then state your position.  What do you believe?
  • Now make a point – then ELABORATE on it.  Saying what you believe is not enough. You must say WHY you believe it and WHY other people should believe it.
  • Rhetorical Questions:  questions that do not require an answer.

For the past 2 weeks I have been working on a speech for the Easter Island mystery.  My speech has a lot of theories and also a few facts.  
Reflective Comment: I think I did a greate job because I spoke a little bit more louder, it think my next step is to tell what I am doing.

Easter Island DLO

For the past weeks in Term 2, me and my buddy have been working on a DLO about the mysterious Easter Island.  I have made this video with my buddy, this video is all about Easter Island's big  Moai/statues, and theories of how they were moved.  I hope you enjoy my video.

Winter 2017

It's finally winter!  This winter we went to Mount Hutt,  it is a mountain in New Zealand where you can ski, snowboard and play with the snow, it has cable rides for the snowboarders and skies.  
                    Check This Out!                                                                               



I also did some ski which was a really fun experience, It was also quite hard to ski on the top of the mountain because it was really high.  I also went up the escalator to go up the ski stage 1 mountain.  It was really hard to walk with the ski because it is really slippery and If I had to walk, I had to walk sideways, it was also very heavy.








Good thing that my uncle was there to help me ski.  He looked really cool when he was ski.

I really like this view because you can see the view of the field lands and other mountains.




I found lots and lots of soft ice that you can sculpt, in the parking lot I took a picture of the mountain because it looked really pretty.




Near the parking lot I found a little hill and I decided to play there because the hill looked like a slide and the snow was really soft.
 
I was trying to climb the little hill and then slide down, I tried a few times and it was really fun.
Back in the main place I threw a bunch of snow up and it looked really cool in reality but you can't see it in the camera.

Solve multiplication problems using powers, Part 2

This week I have been learning how to solve multiplication problems using powers, I have already done a post on this strategy, but this time it is by using multiplication and division with the powers.  In that video I will  be showing you can solve the problems. I understand this strategy very well and can use whenever there is a power.

Reflective comment: I like how I spoke clear enough and the way I explained it, I think my next step is to figure the question out quicker and faster.

Solve multiplication problems with powers, Part 1

This week in my class I have been learning to solve multiplication problems with powers. It is a kind of complicated strategy but once you get it you'll get the hang of it.  I understand this strategy very well.  This is easy questions and an easy strategy to work with.

Reflective Comment:I liked how I worked it out and how I settled the template, I think what I need to work of next time is to explain it a little bit more clearer.
