Lots of Literacy, Maths, Tech, and Tasks!

Hi readers!

I have been doing a lot this week so I am going to show some of the things I have done, this includes some maths and literacy work, along with my Friday task and tech task!

For my maths work this week I decided to show my favourite task I did. Although a did take a long time it was fun.  I put all my work into a slide. Here it is!

I'm sorry if it is hard to see. We had to make and design our own room, but before we could do any of that we had to find the surface area of each wall in our room, minus the doors and windows from the wall. 

For literacy, every day we learn about a new theme about the book wizard of oz. We are then asked three questions about the theme and we answer it on a slide. I chose to share with you the slide I did on the theme disappointment. 

Here are the questions 

Here were my answers

Next is my tech task. I chose to make a stained glass window with paper. My design was the ocean with a sunset in the background. I used paper, vivid, and crayons. Sadly I didn't have any linseed oil, so I could not get the seethrough effect of the paper.

Here it is

Lastly my Friday task. I decided to design my own cake. My theme was red and white. It has two different flavors. Red velvet and vanilla. I personally don't like a lot of icing on the cake so I didn't put very much icing on it. 

Here it is

What do you think? What have you done this week? What is your favourite flavour cake?

Until next time!

Brilliant Board Game

Hi readers!

Even though we are still at home we still have to do tech! You get given many different options for you to make during the day. Today I chose to make a board game! Although it took a very long time I am happy with how it turned out. I am planning to play with my family tonight! 

Here is what it looks like!

The aim of the game, like many other games, is to reach the end. But you may face some challenges. Roll the dice and the number you get is how many squares you move your piece forward, but if you land on the blue square or in the green lake you have to do a challenge. To do so you must pick up a white card, which you can see on the right. The challenges can be good or bad. Some of the bad cards are to eat hot sauce, move back ten spaces, etc.. Some of the good cards are to go to the nearest ladder, go forward ten spaces, etc. If you land on a space with a ladder, then quite similar to snakes and ladders, you can go up the ladder to get ahead of the other players. 

I used paint for painting the cardboard and the 3d trees. I used paper and tape to make the 3d trees and the dice and drew the challenges onto paper slips with felt. I used the player pieces from a different game for player pieces on my game. My game does not have a name yet. 

What is your favourite game? If you had to make a game what would it be about? Where would it be set?

Until next time!

Amazing Anzac Day!

Hi readers!

Anzac day is coming up and I'm very excited! I have great grandparents who went to war, we have medals and postcards from them, a whole book full!

Today I made a canva artwork about the war. It's three panels, before the war, during the war, and after the war.

Here it is

The first panel is before the war. It shows a peaceful world, clear skies, and everything normal

The second panel is during the war, smoke in the sky, warplanes, and red and orange clouds from bombs and explosions.

The third and final panel is after the war. It is raining, to show sadness and crying, a black balloon flying up to the sky with a medal on the end of the string, to show the bravery of all the men who fought in the war.

What do you think? Do you have any family members who fought in the war?

Until next time!

Lions Courage?

Hi Readers!

Today in literacy we were learning about the lion from the wizard of oz who longs for courage, even though he is the mighty king of the forest he feels he has no courage.

Today we were told to put on a slide what we thought courage was and to give an example as to what courage was.

Here it is

There it is!

What does courage mean to you? Have you read the Wizard of Oz?

Until next time!

Wonderful Western Witch

Hi readers!

In literacy, we have continued with our theme of the wonderful Wizard of Oz! As we all know the antagonist in the book is the wicked witch of the west. A very classic witch may I add.

 We were tasked to make our own wicked witch. Design it, give it a name, and give it a backstory as to how it became evil. Some people chose to draw the witch on paper, while others chose to do it digitally. I chose to do it digitally.

Here it is

What do you think? What would your witch look like if you made one?

Until next time.

The Wizard of Oz!

Hi readers!

The holiday is over which means we are back to doing school work and blogging. How was your holiday, what did you do to keep yourself entertained?

Today I was given the task to describe on a slide what I thought Oz looked like (Keep in mind I have not read the books, nor watched the movies that were based on it.) So I wrote down a semi-detailed description as to what I thought Oz may have looked like.

Here it is!

There it is!

How have you been coping in quarantine? What have you been doing to keep yourself entertained (I desperately need ideas)

Until next time 

Cool coding, reading and tessellation!

Hey readers!

The 3rd day of online school! I was planning on doing some outdoor activities, like a walk. But the weather was not on my side today. So outdoor activities can be saved for another day.

Because of the weather, my activities were once again inside. (I should have done them yesterday). I decided to do: More coding, Reading, and some tessellation art.

I started my morning with some coding. I used a website called Code.org. It was very similar to other coding apps in the sense that it used the same commands, issues, etc... But this time it was themed around Minecraft.

I managed to finish all the levels

I apologize for the blurry image but as you can kinda see I finished all the levels!

Next, I did some tessellation. I remember doing some kind of tessellation in year 4 but I really couldn't remember that much. So after watching the video, I decided to give it a go on google drawings as I knew they had some really good shapes I could use. I ended up making three different designs 

I think if I were to do it again I would add color, it might make it more interesting

Finally, I decided I would do some reading. I do reading often so I decided it could use it as one of my activities, so I did. I read for about thirty minutes. The book I am reading is called "Once upon a dream." from a series called "twisted tales" which is your classic fairy tales but it's the aftermath of the villain winning.

What have you been doing during lockdown? Is there anything you missing because of lockdown? I missing out on a trip do Bali :{

Until next time.
