Manaiakalani Film Festival Entry - Sportsmanship

Room 6 loves sport! But sometimes it can get out of hand. That is why we learnt about the importance of sportsmanship. At Glen Innes School we play hard but we play fair.  No tantrums, no bullying, no hurting, and no damage is our policy.  Room 6's movie shows that whether you win or lose, there is no fun in being unsportsmanlike. Are you one of these bad sports?

Author's Purpose Battleships

This task is when you read the question and figure out if it's persuade, inform or entertain. The dot is correct and the orange is is wrong. I won two games and lost ones.

In class today my teacher shared with us a link to a battleship reading game.

What you have to do is play normal battleship but when you find there ship,

 you need to answer author's purpose questions (reading questions). I really enjoyed

it because it' a game and it helps us to learn. 

Collaborative Problem Solving

I created a DLO (Digital Learning Object) on how to solve word problems using the best strategy we know. I found my strategy easy because I keep using the strategy so I'm use to it.

Mean, Median, Mode and Range Kahoot!

Today for maths Mrs Donaldson did a Kahoot game about Median,Mean,Mode,and Range for group two.

At first I thought it was going to be hard but just as I saw the question I knew that it was going to be easy. I was changing between coming first and second. At the end I came second because Malae beat me.I really enjoyed the game.

Author's Purpose Game

After inference reading I did this with my friend Sarah. Sarah was player one and I was player two.The game was Author's Purpose game they will give you a story and you have to see if it was Inform or Persuade and Entertain. After you choose the question you have to summit and see if it is right.I found it easy because I already knew some question but I still won.

Inference Game

today we had to play this inference game because it was part of our work to do.

I only got 9.5 because I got one question wrong but I still made it with a good score.

I can read more books to help me improve my inference skill's a bit better.

 I found this pretty easy because I have done similar activities to this.

if you read this thanks for reading. 

Prototec Score

Today for maths we did prototec and I got 33/40 questions right for stage 8 because this is the first time I've done stage 8 so I wasn't that confident. I want to improve on know what is the highest common factor what is the lowest common multiple. Next time I do stage 8 I hope I already know does things.

Problem Solving DLO

Today after morning tea I have done Maths with my class. As you see my DLO you see my problem, WALT, SC and my Problem Solving. This was really easy because it was symbol to put it in places. Thank you for reading my  DLO MATHS.

Recount Quiz

Today I did a recount quiz made by my teacher. I answered all of eleven questions right but they were tricky. Some were asking what connectives you'll use and click on the right one, one even said that what what event would you see in a recount then you click on the correct one. One question also asked what a recount is. It has eleven questions that relates to recount. Thanks for reading and I hope this taught you something.

Recount Tips

Yesterday I made an infographic on my top tips for a recount. I also use these tips a lot myself. These tips help me a lot so I hope it can help you. 

DLO about equivalent fractions

Today I created a DLO about equivalent fractions. To make an equivalent fraction you always have to times the bottom number and top number by the same times table.

Cybersmart: my global audience

My Global Audience. Today we created a infographics about our blogs.

           

Cybersmart: creating a positive digital footprint

In class we made infographics on cybersmart and digital footprints. We made it on canva. I really enjoyed it.

My infographic has three things and that is country's from all around the world, my top best three for what I was writing about and how much people has been on my blogger. These are the three thing that are on my blog history. My infographic was really easy because I went on my blog history just to see what are there for me to see. Thank you for reading my infographic.

Cybersmart: Personal Profile

Today Rm6 was learning about Personal Profile it's about what you do online . For example if you put all of your details online like where you live, bank account, home address, phone number and your family details and thats not cool. This is what I wrote about my self  :

My name is Mahaleah and I’m from New Zealand . I have a dog named Zion and he is a charpain. He likes to play with his bowling ball a lot and  likes to fight over with his toys and also play with his imaginary friends  .My sport that I play is Rugby , Soccer and Basketball.  My favorite sports team is All Blacks .My favorite band are  House of shem .Third my favorite food are  Wendy's,  Burger King and KFC  .My subjects at school are writing and reading . For my goals I must be on task and listen to the teacher more often .

This is all you need to write about you can use your first name just not your last name because you don't want a creepy man stalking you. Remember that you have to be at a older age  to have Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. And don't use all of your details thats kind dumb. Think before you do. 

Basic Facts - Prototec

In this maths test I got 87 percent on stage 7 and I found it quite difficult when it came to the part where I had to solve the fractions, percentages and decimals. I want to improve on knowing my fractions and percentages and to find the best strategy to solve them.

Author's Purpose: PIE

In room 6 we learnt about author's purpose.
author's purpose is about the three structural letters
and those are P.I.E . P is for persuade, I is for inform, and E is for entertain. persuade is the author trying to change your opinion.  

next inform something that is trying to teach you something. and last entertain something that is trying to make you laugh.

Recount Quiz

I did a recount quiz on BBC Bitesize. This task is to read the question and answer it afterwards. I found this task very easy and also I was impressed with my score. I improve all my question and got ten out of ten.

Author's Purpose: PIE

We have been learning about Author's Purpose the last two weeks. We can use PIE to help us. P stands for Persuade, I stands for Inform and E stands for Entertain.

Writing our own word problems

Problem Solving

This week in maths we were focussing on word problems. To help us understand if a question is addition and subtraction, we wrote our own word problems. This helped us to think about the keywords. We then swapped our problems with a friend and tried to solve their problems using the strategies we have learnt.

Problem Solving DLO

For problem solving we had to subtract numbers with decimals.  I used an algorithm to solve this problem.

Switch Writing: The Polluted Stream

 Today we did switch writing. We took turns writing sentences about a polluted river. We were given a list of words we had to include in our writing.

Switch Writing: The Two Dragonflies

Stormwater Pollution

It is really important to take care of our community and environment, because if we don't there will be some harmful consequences that may happen to some creatures, or people. Let's take care of our community starting now.

Problem Solving

I done this work with my group. Today I have learnt solving 47 plus 26. The answer was  73. This work was very easy for me to do with my group.Why? Because this is the work I have done with my teacher. This work is helping me out. This is helping my brain so I can get better at this work.

Problem Solving

I found this very easy because all you have to do is add the tens and the ones.

Stormwater Pollution

We were learning about stormwater runoff and how it affects animals, people and the environment 

Problem Solving DLO

WALT: use different strategies to solve addition problems.

I used two different strategies to solve this addition problem with tenths.

Problem Solving DLO

WALT: use different strategies to solve addition problems

I solved this problem by using the tidy numbers and algorithm strategy.

Our Last Swimming Lesson with our Swimming Coaches

Today was the last day with our coaches and it was fun with them. We learnt how to float on our backs and control our breathing in case you  get in trouble in the boat’s. We also learnt how to do backstroke and freestyle with the one arm and on board.With the coaches I liked it when we played  games and had races in the pool. Something I want to improve is my breathing because sometimes I forget to breath and I get tired really fast.

Room 6 Site Treasure Hunt

WALT: easily find our learning on our class site.

We did a treasure hunt on our class site. We did it to become familiar with the site. We did it so it can be easier for us to find what we need to do if we need to find something on the class site. We did it so we know what to do if Miss D gives us a task.

How we found it:

1. Ferri: I found it Quite easy because we were on the class site and Miss Donaldson mostly shows us where it is.
2. Indira: I found it quite easy to find the tasks Miss D gave Ferry and it helped me learn how to do a link.

Creating a Class Contract

Today in room 6 we created a class contract.  First, we collaborated on an AnswerGarden (a word cloud app).  We shared our ideas on "What helps you learn?". The answers that were repeated grew larger.  

What helps you learn? Click here to look at the actual AnswerGarden

Next, we added ideas to another answer garden, asking "What DOESN'T help you learn?"  It turns out that our ideas are pretty similar.

What doesn't help you learn? Click here to look at the actual AnswerGarden

After this, we choose the most important ideas from our AnswerGardens and turned them into some class guidelines. We did this in small groups.

Then we had a class discussion of all our ideas.  We added some together and made them perfect! As a way of showing that we agree to our class contract, we each cut out and decorated a puzzle piece.

We will use the class treaty to create a happy and safe classroom.  A classroom where every one can feel a part of.
