the google hunt

Today we had Cybersmart and we did a thing called the Google Hunt., The Goggle Hunt is a thing where you have to find out things using Google (eg: when was the last picture of Beauden Barrett taken in the last 24hrs?). I think it was fun experimenting what else Google can do.I think i did an awesome job but maybe next time i could time myself.

Here is my Google Hunt slideshow.

Ned show

Hi bloggrs, we had the NED show come to our school. The NED show is a show that teaches you to:

• Never give up 
• Encourage others  
• Do the right thing

Also, while doing that he does cool yo-yo tricks and when it comes to your school there is a yo-yo sale and the money made from the yo-yo sale gets fund raised to go to another school. I enjoyed the NED show and I think the yo-yo sale was a great idea.

New Playground

A NEW playground! Last term we had a new playground come in. 

It had a slide, a mini flying fox, monkey bars, slide and much more. In the morning we had an opening for the playground. The kapa haka preformed and we sang one song. Then we got to go on the playground.here are some photos 

My Map Blog Conections

Hi bloggers today we were making a my map in cybersmart with Gerard. We had to find all of the ako hiko schools and other things. The challenge was finding all of the right places. Alot of the schools were around Auckland.

technology rotation

 Hi bloggers. For previous 3 weeks, we were having a technology rotation. In Waitemata, we had to make a bridge from a side of a table without lying it across to another table. We had to keep it the same height as the table. We also had to keep the bridge the same height as the table so it doesn't drag down on one side and on top of that we had to put a marble to put on weight on the bridge.

Materials used

1. 3 straws 
2. 4 Popsicle sticks 
3. 1 metre of tape 
4. 1 marble 
5. 8 tooth pics 
6. 1 string  
7. 1 cup 

In Manukau we did L.E.D light challenge. We had to use materials to make the light work. We had to put all of the materials on a piece of board.

Materials

1. Battery
2. tin foil 
3. paper clip 
4. split pin 

In Hauraki, we made a geo board. A geo board is a piece of board that has 25 nails hammered in rows. We put coloured rubber bands around it to make some cool shapes.

I loved the technology challenge and my favourite one was the BP Challenge.

I learnt that when you are nailing something in to something, it has to be even.

Here are some photos.

Man Stop Motion Video

Hi there bloggers, today we did a stop motion animation using playdough. Stop motion is an app you can create movies with. You take a picture of your playdough and then you move the play dough and take another picture and do that lots of times. Then when you press play it will play as a movie. I think I made the face well because I can tell by looking at the shape. Next time I would make it stand up because I can make it walk and do other moves.

TIRITIRI MATANGI

 On Thursday the seniers went to an island called Tiritiri Matangi. Tiritiri Matangi is a wildlife Sanctuary you can see native and endemic animals of NZ. You walk around  and you can see feeding stations and birds flying right over top of you. I think that going to Tiritiri Matangi was a great     idea i loved it
