How to write a good comment

 Hi there blogging world and For cyber smart we learnt about writing a smart comment. First we had to go to the Ako Hiko website and pick an individual blog as an example. I chose Essa from Owairaka District School. Next we had to  fill in the slideshow template. Then we had to make a screen-castify explaining  the slideshow and explaining how to write a good comment. I hope you learn something from my video because every Friday we have to write a comment so I  think that I am very good at commenting and hopefully I helped you too so you can use those skills to write a comment on my blog. Here is my video:

Crazy science magic show

 Hi there blogging world! On Monday we had a magical experience because the crazy science show came to our school. The science people were called Richard and Robin. Robin was the D.J and Richard was the scientist. Before the show started he did a few magic tricks. Richard asked us if we thought it was magic or science most of the people thought it was magic. Then Richard explained that magic is science. So I guess science is the new cool😎.  My favourite part was when he threw the grain in the air and it made fire. The reason he made fire is because to make fire you need heat, oxygen and some sort of flammable thing. With grain when it is packed tightly and you add heat there is no fire. Why? because there is no oxygen but if you added heat to the grain and throw it in the air it makes fire.  We also did an experiment with nappies. Richard poured the powder out of a nappy and put it into a cup the powder is called polymer. Then he got yellow water that looked like pee and added it to the polymer and when he decided to pour it out it was a solid and not a liquid. I really liked having the crazy science show come to our school I hope they come again. One question I would ask Richard was why after he threw the grain in the air the fire  faded away after a second? When I go home I am going to put a ping pong ball on top of my hair dryer and turn the air cold and blow it to see if it will stay even when I move my hair dryer.

Forlorn song

HI there blogging world. In week five we went on a ski camp. I then wrote a couplet poem about the snow mountains and about how I hardly see snow since I live in Auckland.  I all so drew and coloured an illustration. A couplet poem is a poem when the last two words of the sentence rhyme.  First we planned our poem in our literacy book. Then we planned our illustrations in our art books. Then we did our good copy and we also coloured it in. My poem is called Forlorn song here is a picture of my poem and it's illustration. 

                             Forlorn song                               

The big blue sky

Lies above the mountain so high

Snow so white and pale

Just like a fairy tale

The air lies cold 

While I wait to be told

The breeze so mild

The kids go wild 

A layer of frost so thin

My face forms a grin

For once I feel like I belong 

In this forlorn song

Mt Ruapehu camp

Hi there blogging world, I recently just went on  a school camp. For school camp we went skiing and snow boarding  at Mount Ruapehu. I had so much fun. We also had lots of stops. This slide show contains every detail about my trip please read it through. The challenges of camp were skiing. On the first day I couldn't quite pick it up but on the second day I was whizzing up and down the mountain. There was plenty of other activities to do  on the mountain other then skiing and snowboarding. I also went sight seeing on the chairlift and I went tobogganing. The dinner was also quite yum I loved the lasagna . During the long bus rides me and my friend Joyce learnt the universal alphabet we also made our own alphabets. My name in the universal alphabet is  Delta Oscar Romeo Alpha. Another challenge was getting off the chairlift I fell two times but after I could get off the chairlift properly. 

In the process of skiing I fell down a lot and I mean a lot. From my camp experience I learnt to not give up and I learnt to persevere and when I persevered I learnt how to ski.
Please comment down below telling me a time when you had to persevere too Blog ya later

Ako Hiko student led toolkits

On Thursday some people from Waikowhai Primary School went to New Windsor primary school. I was one of them. We went of New Windsor Primary school for Ako Hiko Student Led toolkit. There was lots of fun activities here is a video of what I liked about my experience on Thursday and what I learnt.



  It was really fun first we had to check in and we got a name badge saying what sessions we were in. Then we all assembled in the auditorium. We then had a coding competition we used little rolling robots controlled by an I pad and we had to complete a course I did not do it but Lily and Max did. Here is a photo.

We also did a problem solving challenge  and we did a prize draw some one from our school won a chromecast. Here are some photos of the problem solving challenge.

We also did sessions I chose to do powtoon and prodigy  I already know how to use prodigy but I don't know how to use powtoon so I learnt how to do that. Also all the sessions were student led. It was really fun. Here are some photos of my super fun experience.

It was very fun, sadly I will not be able to go next year because I will be in intermediate. But it was really fun interacting with other people from the Ako Hiko cluster .

suffixes

Hi there blogging world, this week for literacy I made a suffixes poster. My poster is very simple but it tells you what a suffix is. Next time I would add more detail to my poster. I did not find anything challenging because I watched a suffix video and it tells you some suffix examples and what suffixes mean. I tried to make my poster as appealing as possible so it can attract people to read my suffixes poster. Please comment what you liked and didn't like about my suffixes poster. I hope that if you didn't know what a suffix is that by reading my poster you now know. Blog ya later

Procedure

This is a procedure I did in writing time. I included strong verbs and specific nouns. Feel free to try the recipe and give me some feedback if you made it. Our writing teacher said for each step in a procedure it needs to start with a bossy or strong verb. There is a success criteria and I have tried to complete everything on the criteria. This work was fun and fairly easy to write because I already know the recipe because my mum makes lots of things from scratch. Please comment on my blog work.

How to make thick noodles from scratch

The ingredients you will need are:

Flour

Water

Chopped up vegetables (of your choice)

Oil

The equipment you will need is :

Frying pan

Kettle

Sauce pan

Chopping board

Really big bowl/ basin bowl

Rolling pin

stove

Step one

Pour your flour into a large bowl or basin bowl. There are no correct measurements you just have to eyeball it. Pour as much flour as you want the more flour the more dough.

Step two

Pour some water and mix the water and flour with your hands. Keep on kneading the dough till it is at the consistency you would like if it is too sticky add more flour, if it is too dry add more water.

Step three

sprinkle some flour over the chopping board and plop your dough on the chopping board. With a rolling pin roll your dough on the chopping board till it is flat. Then chop it into strips.

Step four

Stretch the the strips of dough you have made  until they are very long. A tip to make them long is to move it like it  is a skipping rope but not too fast. Then boil some water in your kettle. Pour your boiling water into a saucepan place the saucepan on your stove wait until water is boiling then place your long strips of dough in the saucepan wait till all the noodles are fully cooked.

Step five

Pour some oil into a fry pan then add your vegetables then mix it a round and you have a stir fry add the stir fry to your freshly made noodles and there you have it it’s done.
