Super Sign Language!

 Kia Ora bloggers, 

This week is national sign language week, sign language is an official language of New Zealand so it is important that we new zealanders know how to at least sign our names. This wednesday before tec we learned a bit about sign language and went onto a website where we can learn all about sign language but in a fun way here is a link to the website, Ninja sing language. We learned how to sign different things like colours, fruit, drinks, family members (e.g mother, father, brother, sister), numbers and the elphebet. We also had to make a video of us signing our names, here is my video. Do you know how to sign your name?

Bye, bloggers.

Movie Maths!

 Kia Ora bloggers, 

We have been learning about 24 hour time and how to convert AM/PM, I found this not too challenging and quite easy, our task yesterday and today was to pick 3 movies and convert the running time into minutes instead of hours, then we had to write the time the movie starts and get a buddie to answer the questions on our slide (when the movie will finish), here is my slide with the questions and answers on it. Have you ever thought about what times would be in 24 hour time?

Minecraft Maths!

Kia Ora bloggers,

Last week for maths we have been doing revision on clocks/24 hour time, I found this quite easy as I already knew how to do it. On Friday our task was to make a digital and analog clock on Minecraft, the digital clock had to say in 24 hour time what the analog clock says mine is 3:00pm but in 24 hour time it is 15:00 or 1500, but if I had chosen AM the 24 hour time would be 03:00 or 0300.

 

Awesome Literacy!

 Kia Ora bloggers, 

For the past couple of weeks in literacy we have been planning and beginning to make our video essays, to do this we had many genre study sessions in literacy and then we got to pick a genre from what we had been studying, I chose to do horror because I enjoy watching horror films and the adrenaline you get from watching them, first, we had to make write our scripts using the TEXAS format, which are basically just essays but a slight difference, now most of us are to actually make a video, for our video, we have to put clips and pictures from the genre, we are doing and speak over the video using our essay script. Since I have not yet finished my video essay here are some screenshots of the process so far. Have you ever made a video essay?

Bye, everyone!

Spin Wheel Outcomes!

Kia ora bloggers,

For the past few weeks in maths, we have been working on how many outcomes there can be when flipping a coin, first, we did this using a diagram which took a long time, then we learned how to do it the quick way only using an equation, after doing the coin-flipping outcomes we moved onto doing a spin wheel with 4 sides instead of only 2, once we had learned everything we had to make a voice-over animation on how to do it the quick way, here is my video. Have you ever learned how to do this before?

Bye, everyone!

 

PSA - Coding!

 Kia Ora bloggers,

For the past couple of weeks, we have been learning how to code our own PSA's, for my PSA I chose to do littering as it has become a huge problem within our community, for my interactable animation you have to click on a sprite to put it in the bin, unfortunately, we can't embed our animation/codes, so here are a few screenshots of my code and animation. Have you ever done coding before?

Bye, everyone!
