Paralympic Swimming Times

 

WALT: Work with timesheets and graphs

One of our home learning activates today was to take this worksheet from the Class site, review it and place in the fastest times from each Pool of Paralympic swimmers, This activity was as simple as it gets, unless there is something I am missing. 

Hope you learned something about the Paralympic swimming times from this spreadsheet, get your teacher to get your class to do this as well if you want, stay safe and keep blogging.

Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed numbers

 

WALT: Learn to convert improper fractions into a mixed number using long division.

As our Maths activity today we were tasked with reviewing a slideshow full of Improper fractions and were told to watch a youtube guide on how to convert said fractions into mixed numbers. This activity was extremely basic and simple once you begin to understand it, it is simple division mixed with addition and multiplication.

This task involves dividing numbers into each other, taking the results and using that to get the correct answer. This activity was challenging at the start, as I had to re watch the video several times during the first 2, but after that I got the hang of it, after that point it was smooth sailing. 

I enjoyed this activity because it introduced me to some new Maths problems, before this I had no idea of what a mixed number even meant, leat alone how to convert one.

Please point out any mistakes or questions I got wrong in the comments and I will be sure to correct them, give it a go for yourself; ask your teacher if you can do a lesson on this.

Happy lockdown.

Making my own AD

 

WALT: Create an advertisement showcasing the staples of an AD.

This was a rushed advertisement I created to advertise Aioli, this is a simple AD, the colour scheme is chosen because it is the colours that make you hungry when put together.

Leave some feedback in the comments to tell me how I did, as well as giving me back some feedback.

Great Walks Brochure

 

WALT: Make a brochure about the 10 great walks in New Zealand.

This slideshow showcases the 10 great walks in New Zealand and a little bit of information about them and why you should go on these walks, these walks are a great way to get out and see the outdoor environment. I found this easy to do since all of the facts were readily available on the DOC website, I did find it a little bit challenging to come up with some showcasing language and explaining words/descriptions about the places. 

Energy Inquiry

WALT: Create a project relating back to our energy inquiry.

We did an inquiry that was based on energy, my friend Harlem and I made a video explaining Wind/Turbine energy with a twist, the video was informative and explained how it works and what turbines do, and what happens when the wind goes through them.

I liked doing this and all the information was readily available so it was easy to achieve, try make your own little project and tell me how it goes in the comments.

My Jackdaw

 

WALT: Create a Jackdaw showing and explaining what you learned whilst reading the book.

As a part of our novel study tasks, we were told to make a jackdaw, taking aspects of the story and different key points and ideas and organizing them in a poster type design. For us to be successful we had to write a bit about the main/important characters, the plot, moral, theme and setting.

I found it easy to do since I remember most of the things we had to put down, it was pretty fun and I recommend you give it a go for your own reading to be able to remember the facts more, and make it more interesting.

Yellow Bellied Sea Snake

 

WALT: Research a Current Event

For our current events today I decided to research the recent discovery of a Venomous sea snake in Taranaki, this was discovered by a 10-year-old boy. I found this easy to do since the facts were there and ready to go. Have a read and see what you think, leave some feedback in the comments.
