Using the power of netiquette..... dat - da - da - da.

W.A.L.T: interact online in a kind, positive and helpful way. 

For the past few weeks we have been working on cyber smart, means we are learning on how to be cyber smart so what were doing is we are learning about net etiquette.  I will explain to you what net etiquette means.  Net etiquette means the rules of the behavior that apply's while using the internet. Netetiquette comes from the word net and etiquette.  Our teacher for cyber  smart made a mindmup for us to fill in, it is about the dos and don'ts of net etiquette.

We also looked at a video about netiquette click this link if you want to see.

Big Question
How does netiquette affect our relationship?
It will affect your relationship online, means that if you say something good online like "Hey, I really like your blog post, it is really cool and amazing." and maybe they will like you.  But if you say something nasty like "Hey, you stink , your a horrible person." the person who is talking to you might be very sad so then they might not want to be your friend.  As the old saying goes "Treat Other People The Way You Want To Be Treated"

Hope you like reading the dos and don'ts of net etiquette. 

  

I have also got another one if you don'r really understand the meaning of net etiquette.
There is also some netiquette rules so you know more information about the compulsive netiquette. 

                     

Among The Hidden (That means hide!!!!!!)

It is almost the end of the term, so we are wrapping up our novel studies for reading.  Our teacher set up a little activity for us to do, we also had the choice if we wanted to go with a buddy.  My buddies were, Jolly-Rose, Skyler and I.  The activity that we did was a "Character Collection", that means that we are going to be thinking of one or two characters, to describe their personality.  Like, the special things that they bring or use.  So my group decided that we would do a poster, with some clay models, for the collection.  (P.S  the book that my group was reading was among the hidden)

Focus: Thinking critically about what we have read and using our inferring skills.

Refelctive Comment: I think we all did very well, maybe next time we will improve on describing what we have made.

The clay model probably took 2 to 3 day to finish but we finished it, and the deadline was on the last day of the term.  Her is a picture of my group creating our clay models.

And here is our finale product.

I hope you like reading our poster. 

If you spot anything that I need to work on please leave a comment for some feedback for next time.  

Solve Percent Equations from larger numbers.

For this weeks maths we learnt how to solve percent equations from larger numbers.  It is easy once you get it, it is kinda complicated, but once you get it you will surely use it a lot.  So I made a DLO to show you how to use it.  I hope will learn it easily and use through your time at school.  Have a great day.

Was the clouds infected???

For this weeks writing we are doing a story about a cloud, the title was Partly cloudy.  It was a story about a sad little cloud.  I really like this story because it s very inspiring.  It inspired me to write a full story about this story.  

Reflective Comment: It is very inspiring and also a very sad story, what I coukd do next time is to put more descriptive words.  

Partly Cloudy

Let me tell you about the story of the lonely cloud, which is me.  This story is about storks and clouds, but there is more stuff to add to that.  

The day was about to start, the sun was as bright as a sparkling star.  The cloud looked like big pink fluffy cotton candy.  The sun was reflecting through the blue sky, now the sky looked like pink cotton candy.   Storks were flying above the colourful town.  The house were coloured with beautiful bright colours such as green and light green.  The storks was delivering a lots of babies and some pets.  

One of the storks delivered to a house, inside a bag was 2 adorable kitties.  They had ginger fur, it was as soft as a bunny's fur.  After they delivered, they went back up to the clouds.  They were flying through the other clouds, I pack of them flew into a cloud, it wasn’t just a cloud it was a big one.  They went through the cloud but when they got to the other side they were in the other side.  A miracle came true, there were like living clouds everywhere.  If you're asking how I know that that's because I am  a lonely cloud, not happy, sad and lonely.

All the other clouds was making cool things like, babies, pets and more.  Oh, I forgot to introduce myself I so caught in my story, so my name is Gus.  I wanted to be the same like the other clouds but I couldn’t, make any of their amazing living things.  Just looking at the happy clouds was making me sadder.  I was below the happy clouds waiting for my stork to arrive, he took a really long time.  So I practiced to use my cloud powers, I tried making something like an animal.  But which animal, so I tried rolling a piece of cloud out.  As I was rolling I added more cloud dough.   So now I knew what I was making I was making a crocodile.

I took made 4 little holes in the middle of my creation, to make the little legs, for my creation or should I call it a crocodile.  I flashed it with some of my powerful lightning, with a flash of light the crocodile was alive.  It had razor sharp teeth, with rough, hard scales.  Instantaneously, he opened his mouth and bites me and he chipped a bit of my hand.  I growed my hand again, and told off the little crocodile.  I placed it down on my working space and looked if my stork was coming.  I saw him his name was Peck, once he arrive at my cloud.  He looked really tired, but I didn’t think that he wouldn’t feel that way.  

He raised his wing and looked like a military guy or something like that. I hug him in surprised and rub on his head.  Fred made me so happy, that he poked my nose with his sharp beak.  

He looked like he wanted to deliver something, so I turned my back on him and grabbed my creation.  So then I showed him, he was a little bit surprised\ about my creation or should I call it a crocodile.  He tried to touch it but the crocodile bites his head, but don’t worry he wasn’t injured.  Peck couldn't see anything  because the crocodile was still in his head, I mean biting his head.

I took the little baby crocodile out of his head,  I put the baby crocodile on my working space made a little bag to put the crocodile on.  I gave it to him and Peck flew away with a very annoying crocodile.  I waved goodbye to my little friend, until tomorrow I knew he would come back.  The next day I made a big horn sheep, but it was a baby bighorn sheep, she was really cute.  But she was also very rough, not just rough very, very rough.  Now that was just a thought of the bighorn sheep being rough or being gentle.  A few minuted later, Peck arrived, he stood next to me.  Peck showed out his wings but the feather below all ripped off .  I was surprised so I decided to pat him and give him a run through of his body.   So then I showed him my creation, with a flash of light the bighorn sheep came to life.  

Peck looked up to the sky, he saw one of the white clouds making a little cute puppy, I knew he was thinking about quiting me.  Peck was looking very happy, I looked on what I made gave it to him.  Peck flew away with the rough bighorn sheep, I felt so bad for him.  

The next day he flew in and I was making a porcupine, the flashed it with lighting.  The hedgehog came to life.  Peck touched the hedgehog and when it came to life, his wings got pricked by the sharp prickles of the hedgehog.  He was getting prickled everywhere so I took the hedgehog and wrapped it inside a bag.  Then he flew away, when we came back he had the prickles all over his head.  I took it out piece by piece, and removed the feathers from the prickles.  I hugged and and let showed him it was a little baby shark.  He was scared out of his feathers.  

He looked up into the other clouds,  the other clouds made little chicks.  So he flew to the other clouds, and landed on one of the girl clouds.  She took him in and made him, I got so angry that a grew larger.  And made a lightning bolt, Peck was given something.  And he came and delivered the eel that I made.  So we lived happily every after.

Replay, Again and again

For this week's writing we watched a video called Replay and it is about a apocalyptic world.  There were a sister and brother who survived the tragic thing.  So we had to write a story about the story, the story was very very sad.  I hope you will like reading my story, have a great day and Bye!

W.A.L.T: To write a story in the eyes of one character.

Dear Diary,

Day 12 of survival.

I was just waiting here, in my bedroom.  The name was Daniel, we lived in a mephitic town.  Our town was in an apocolypse. None of us can breathe through the deadly air.  But I was lucky, lucky I was living in a little underground house.  My sister always used to go out into that deadly world, to collect stuff to keep.  In our little house we kept some devices left around, some food and my sister got a coffee machine.

 My mum and my dad, sadly didn’t survive the apocalypse, so they saved us instead of them.  That’s when my sister learned how to go outside and collect stuff that we need.  She also learned how to turn the oxygen button on her machine.  Hopefully some other people survived, as we are the only ones living here.  

Writing in my diary was the only way to not get bored from waiting, waiting for my sister to arrive.  As I heard footsteps arriving, I then got excited, she was back, I kept saying in my head.  She opened the door, I rushed to her.

Her name was Rose.  “Rose you're here!” I said.  Rose took out her bag and dipped her hand inside she showed this cool thing, I didn’t know what it was or what to do with it.  “Now I think this will excite you.” She said.  Then she gave me it,  it was like a flashlight, it flashes of this amazing tune of light.  I was playing with it, when she had something in her hand what was it? She played it, it looked like some tape recorder.  It said “Do you want to play with us?”  I asked her to play it again, “Show me! Lend it to me! Turn it on again!” I begged.  “Next time I will go with you.”   

She put the tape recorder in the top shelf of the cabinet, that way I couldn’t reach it.  “Isn’t time for you to go to bed?” Rose asked.  “Alright.” I said.  I walked up to the bed sad and anxious.  While the night was rolling I started to plan how to get the tape recorder and get outside in that deadly place.  I will see how we go, tomorrow.

Date: 5th October 3025

Time: 5:00 am

Dear Diary,

Day 13 of survival.

I just woke up from the aesthetic sleep, it was now time, Rose will be probably be still asleep.  I grabbed the spare machine and carefully walked up the stairs.  As I was walking I put on the machine I didn't really know what it was, but I learnt how to use it.  

I was know ready, ready to go in the frightening world.  But I remembered the tape recorder, I forgot to get it.  I hurried since my sister was about to wake up, I climbed up the table and got the tape recorder.  I then rushed, up the stairs and through the breathing compact.  That’s when my journey started.

Walking through the depths of the apocalyptic road, the road was sandy and I knew the air was deadly.  Walking through the neglected town, it was like walking through ghost town.  The town looked as if there were zombies that visited.  I walked around the town, the town was empty if I could, I could call it a wasteland.  I looked around the place, holding the tape recorder.  I played it and walked up to a pool or something like that.  

Then the tape recorder made some car sound, I saw the car, it was broken down and torn apart.  Secondly I heard a loud dinging and donging sound from the lanky tower.  I was hoping my sister wouldn’t find out that I have gone here.  I was walking through the empty streets, looking around I walked.  I went straight into this school gate, in front was a torn down  playground.  

Looking around the playground, it felt as if all the kids died.  Walking around the frayed playground was a pain, just remembering all the good memories.  I was walking towards the wrecked Mary-go-round.  I touched it and spun it, I decided to sit down as I was going to play the tape recorder.  I was hearing all sorts of sounds, I can hear laughs and kids playing around.

I spun the merry go round around, then something amazing happened, there were kids that was playing in the nearby tree.  I looked at the, it seems as they are making a paper airplane.  They were finished with it, they were mumbling, they stood up and the girl throwed it up into the air. It flowed into the baby blue sky, I tried to touch it but I couldn’t seems like I was a ghost.  It crashed into a window, Looked at them and they were huddling like a team talk.  

I touched my goggle and my mask, thinking about taking it off.  The suddenly it hit me, I took my goggles off.  Looking at them, I threw my goggles on the ground and…..  started to take my mask off, I took it off and breathed in the deadly air.  Now I felt my leg which was cut off, return, everything was turning colourful and brand new.  The trees was turning into luscious green leaves and the buildings was turning into shiny, glossy walls.

Then I heard this “Do you want to play with us?” They both said.  I smiled and I ran to the window where that crashed airplane was.  Ran back to them, I was so excited.  Then with a flash of light…..  Now I think I am in the world of dead, it seemed so good.  How would my sister react to this? Well I guess this is the end…

Solve whole unknown problems

Now for this weeks maths we are learning how to solve whole unknown problems, it is juts like solving part unknown problems with multiplication and division.  Just like my other post, I posted last week, we are going to be doing the same thing except different questions.  I hope you learn and enjoy my DLO. 

After Resulted (Of The SLIMEEE)

After making  the slime, for the first slime it didn't really work, her was the ingredient on the first one.

• Water                 We had to put the water (hot water) in first before the glue and borax, which we 
• Glue                   know wouldn't work.  So we tried out another recipe, the recipe was.
• Borax                 Some Cornstarch and some dish soap.  It sorta made a playdoh kind of type. 

 This was the finished result. 

SLIMEEEEEE!

Today at class we are making some SLIMEEEE, we earned this because we filed up our marble jar, we had 100 marbles.  We earned this marble day because we were doing the right thing at the right time.  It took us probably about 2 weeks to fill it up.  This afternoon before we make the slime we had to decide which recipe we are doing so we got planning, we got into groups, in my group I had Keyana, Nature, Mikayla and I.  We voted on a range of different kinds of slime.  But we mostly liked fluffy slime.

So we picked some ingredient for the fluffy slime and these are:

• Borax - Added with water
• 1/4 cup of glue
• Half a cup of shaving foam 
• Foaming Hand wash
• Lotion 
• Cornstarch 

Those were the ingredients that we found.   

Solve part unknown problems using multiplication and division.

This week for maths I learn't how to solve part unknown problems using multiplication and division, I know it is pretty long but it is really easy.  So it took probably a few minutes to get a hang of it, but I am sure that you will quickly learn it.  So I whipped up a DLO that will show you how to solve part unknown problems using multiplication and division.  I hope you enjoy.

The Piano......

Our extravaganza is finished so this week we were focusing on a video called The Piano.  The Piano is about this Grandpa he is playing a sad tune, and throughout the video, what I am saying is the the story is really sad.  It is also a inspiring story, I almost cried, I also only watched 1 time, it made me to sad.  So I hope you like reading my story.  

Reflective Comment: I think I did pretty, I don't really know what to work on. 

W.A.L.T: Recall again what is happening in the story.

Success Criteria

• Re-call what is happening in the video.
• Use adjectives and experiment with language features.
• Use paragraphs correctly.
• Begin sentences with different/ interesting sentence starters.

The Piano

I was alone in this inconsolable house.  As I started playing the grand piano, I started playing a sorrow, crestfallen and forlorn tune, just like as a river flows to the soiled dirt.  Just playing the grand piano makes my heart feel like it's melting into millions of pieces.  The piano keys were are white as the fluffy clouds, floating up in the sky. I was starting to remember the memorable things that I had.  As time goes the more things you lose or is it the more things you get…...

I remember playing this crestfallen song with my lovely wife, it seems like my wife was right next to me.  It felt like happy times, she kissed in my cracked, dry cheek, but a flash of light she was gone.  Now I seemed so sad, what had happened to her?  Where was she gone to?  It seems now that I lost her, a few minutes had past I had just remembered the first world war.  It was as woebegone as a broken hearted person.  I heard a range of fire bomb hitting the trenches our trenches only my friend and I survived KAPOW!  After a few minutes passed I just realized that my friend had already got out of the trenches and sacrificed his life.  He was gone too.

I continued playing the despondent tune.  Crying feels good but the I will keep the pain inside not to let out a single word, for as the pain you may not know how to take.  I had just remembered the time that my parent had given me a horse head toy it was my 8th birthday.  I had for a long time, now I had given it to my lovely grandson.  For that he will remember and we both continued the wretched tune together.

 

Trying out Voki....

This Wednesday the Hornby Cluster came to out school for our school summit, a lot of people volunteered to be in the summit.  We did some session about our Chromebook we did some cool activities and we also learnt lots of things.  What I did first was learning to make a google site next was making voki.

Fathers Day

"Happy Fathers Day, To all Dads."  It is fathers day!  This Sunday me and my sister celebrated fathers day with my Dad and my mum.  We went to Samurai Bowl to eat some yummy noodles and some teriyaki chicken with some rice.  After we ate we went to Papanui High School to watch my dad play basketball.  Unfortunately my dad's team didn't win, the score was 42 - 49.  After the game we went back home to rest.  

I also took some pictures of my Dad, my sister and I.  Here are the photos....

Have a Great Fathers Day and be nice to your parents. 💖
