Matariki Digital Art – Gian

Kamusta bloggers!

Yesterday, we were learning about the Matariki stars and its origins. The Matariki is all about the nine stars that shine above the sky. It brings people together to celebrate and enjoy. My teacher Alicia gave us some work to do by making a Matariki artwork on google drive. She taught us tools and shapes that we would need to learn like stars, shapes, and the curve tool.

Stuff we needed to do to make the Matariki mountain and sky.

  • Duplicate items instead of making it again.

  • Fill tool, to fill in some colours.

  • Use the corner tools to shape the stars/mountains.

  • Make the stars out of shape and put them in place.

What I liked about this Matariki poster is about how it was fun to make and really simple. Here is my artwork! (I also copied some google images for the moon)

My Maths – Gian

Kamusta, bloggers! Welcome.

Today i’m gonna be blogging about what I did on my maths. This whole term, my teacher Alicia taught us about different strategies to Mathematics. Subtracting methods, addition methods, and even timing stuff! To get started, I went on my Chromebook and Alicia told us what to do. Once she was finished, we finally started on my work and started working on the Mathematics Alicia gave us.

Once we were finally finished, we added some extra details. I showed it to Alicia and we started on some extra work we have to do on paper. I started working on it and using the strategy Alicia gave.

When i was finished, I gave my work to Alicia and started working on my blog.

Inquiry) States of Matter: “Solids!”

States of Matter: Solids!

Kamusta, Welcome bloggers!

  1. Today we are learning about Solids. We read information about solids in a video and here is what I learned. What is a solid? A solid is a type of Matter which can be used in many things like wood, to build stuff, ice, to cool down drinks. These are proof that Solids are important in life.

2. There are 2 types of solids. Crystalline and amorphous. Crystalline has a repeating pattern while Amorphous solids, on the other hand, have a non-repeating arrangement. In easy words, Crystalline has a more              neat pattern but amorphous is sort of messy.

3. These are some of the information I gathered up about all the States of matter! Solids. A hard matter which it can be broken with itself. Liquid. A type of matter. Ice is a great example. Ice is a solid but once                    melted, becomes liquid, which means sloppy and can be moved by anything. Make sure not to touch still water! It carries dangerous bacteria which can be life threatening. Gas. a invisible type of liquid that                     floats up in the air once it evaporates!

4. Here are some facts that me and my team made! Solid is a type of matter. Water can be in all forms of matter. Solid, Liquid, and even gas! Solids can have high melting points. A solid can be broken by another              solid.

Sir Edmund Hillary – Gian

∴Sir Edmund Hillary

Today I read about Sir Edmund Hillary. He is famous for him being the first to climb the mountain with his buddy Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. What makes them super is that they achieved going to Mount Everest, they also never gave up. And, they achieved what other people almost never achieved in their life. Even though it was hard to go to the mountain they still did it.

They are super because when they climbed on the mountain they became famous and opened the school Edmund Hillary School (EHS). People were telling him that he can’t make it to the top and large avalanches ahead while they kept on going. Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, is a friend of his that helped him to Achieve climbing the mountain. He relates to my goal to keep trying and never give up. Once he was done, he opened a school and became famous all over the world. Edmund Hillary reached the summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953. He was part of a British team and was accompanied by Tenzing Norgay. This climb made them the first people known to have reached the summit of Everest. 

What he used

Sir Edmund Hillary used a variety of tools, including Wood-handled Ice axes, Woollen suits, and outdated gear to climb Mount Everest in 1953. They also relied on a canvas kit bag containing essential items like sleeping bags, gloves, and an oxygen set. Enough for him to actually climb Mount Everest. In 1953.

Facts about Sir Edmund Hillary

  • Hikers are often called “trampers” in New Zealand.
  • Sir Edmund was 6 feet 5 inches tall.
  • He was a navigator with the New Zealand Royal Air Force during WWII.
  • He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II after reaching the top of Everest. …
  • Mount Everest is 29,029 feet high.

Edmund Hillary makes me think about my goals, and how I can overcome my goals by never giving up on myself. With enough effort, I can achieve any goal I want to. He achieved his goal by never listening to those who didn’t believe in him. I can also achieve that by listening to good people and believe in myself so that I could achieve my goal.∴∃∀

 

Smart Fish – Gian

Kamusta, Welcome Bloggers!

Today, I will show you how to make your own fish like I did. Fish is an entertaining creature which are in many colours and types. Fishes can be also used as pets.  With Aina, we were learning how to make a smart fish. How I did this, is using the tools in Google drawing. First, I opened up a Google drawing. Aina taught us how to make the fishes by using the shape tool at the top. We followed Aina’s steps following what he did. He is a Cyber smart teacher which helps kids learn how to do all sorts of things on the Chromebook.

We used all kinds of shapes and used the curve tool. We used the Chrome books shortcuts like (Ctrl V Copy and paste) (Ctrl D Copy stuff) (And use the other slide on top that allows you to group stuff.) I did the background by adding different layers doing bottom the darkest and making a gradient to light blue. We finished it off by adding decorations like bubbles, a story, sand castle, and more! Once we were finished, we showed it to Aina and continued with our old work.

If you wanted to do this, what kind of fish would you do? Follow the instructions, This is what I did. But before you comment, take a look on what I wrote of the story they came through.

Two fishes were swimming by looking for some food. “Look food!” the Blue Fish said. As they were swimming they got caught in one of the coral. But magically they both got sent free. When they got there, it was a beautiful place. With a fully built sand castle with a rock to lay on. Coral surrounded it with a hook with a worm to feed on. They both rested on the sand for a while while looking at the sunny morning above them. When they started swimming again, They swam closer and got scared by a person saying “I guess no Fish today.” Once they realised they swam away horrified as bubbles formed at the top. They soon found home and told their fish friends not to go there. (THE END)

Here are some fish facts.

Although there are many different kinds of pup fish, Cyprinodon diabolis has dwindled to between 100-200 s                                                                                                                    pecimens.

My Identity – Gian

Have you ever wondered what is your identity? An Identity is all about who you are and stuff all about you. Like facts about you, and your culture. My identity is this. My name is Gian and my favourite colour is baby blue. My favourite game to do is play tag and hide and seek with my siblings outside, and my hobby is drawing, where I like to draw many doodles and fun stuff. My parents were born in the Philippines but moved to New Zealand to raise their kids and to support my dad’s job.

I was born in New Zealand but my parents are Filipino which makes me Filipino. I like to celebrate my culture by my family dancing different Filipino songs. I understand most of the Filipino language but am currently learning how to speak it. I love to explore everything in the world and I wish to go to the Philippines with my family. I love to explore the world with my family and go to many places.

My family is currently planning that and saving up money to go there. My religion is Catholic Christian and I believe in God. In conclusion, I believe that an Identity is a huge part in life. Like who you are? Where are you from? You would need your identity to identify who you are. You could be kind, or you could be rude, identity is all about who you are.

My Acrostic Name

I made an acrostic poem about who I am and what my letters in my name are. For example, G – Great I – Intelligent A – Awesome N – Nice I made these with my teacher Alicia’s help. She helped make a slide with words that represent all the letters. It was hard at first but got the hang of it. Once I was finished, I went and helped my classmates do theirs also.  a picture of mine.

Gian – My Cookie

My chocolate chip cookie has chocolate chips outside with some cracks coming out of the cookie. It’s a sweet Chocolate Chip Cookie with some melted Milk chocolate dripping inside of the cookie. How I made my cookie is by making a unperfect circle with curve in Google Drawing. I now added chocolate chips and coloured it brown and added some cracks inside. For the inside of it I made it so it looks like there’s drippy chocolate inside with the same tool that I made with the cookie shape. I added the same details on top and I was finished!

Friday Disco

On Friday 13th September, Edmund Hillary School had a Disco. While we were at school a few days before, my teacher Teleise told us we were having a disco. She told us to pick songs for the disco so that she can check if it was appropriate. 2 days later, it was time for the disco.

Me and my classmates were so excited. Teleise set up the disco tested the music. We went back to class and ate our lunches early. Teleise put blue wrist bands on our arms. Once the bell rang we went to the hall. we waited for a while then a teacher Peta let us In with our blue wrist bands.

We danced in the disco and played different songs. We made a train and ran across the hall. When it was over, Peta told us to get out of the hall and go to the playground. We played on there until the bell rang.

My favorite part was when we made a train and ran across the hall because it was fun to be active all the time. The music made me feel happy and excited all at the same time. If I planed the next one I would make it longer and have more decorations.

Internet Safety

Today Aina came into room four to teach us about whats private and whats not private. As you can see in the bottom,he gave us an activity to sort out which is private and which is not.He also played a video of what you can say or what you cant say for example: Your so trash! It sometimes hurts peoples feelings and that’s whats called cyber bullying.
