Coding

This for the last few weeks we have been doing Hour of Code, which is were our teacher (Whaea Teena) sets courses for us, for example app lab. It teaches us how to use this and what we can do with it and show us videos of what we need to do, but we can do that and then customise it in our own way to make it how we want it.

Also you can make projects which you do by yourself with no help, for example you can make a ping pong game, which is where you need to move the thing that you hit the ball with and try hit the ball and make it go in the goal.

Assembly

Today I hosted assembly in front of the whole school, it was very fun.  Also I got a certificate and I think I did a great job at hosting assembly.This is the script.

Wow ,what amazing  work you all have done.

Could the teachers please take their students back to there class when they are ready .

I am most proud of my writing because I have improved lots and I now can write really descriptive and interesting stories that lots of people like and enjoy listening to.  Also I enjoy listening to my own stories and hearing how good my stories are getting.

My hardest challenge this year was nikau art because it was really hard to get it perfect the way I wanted it, but in the end I got there, just the way I wanted it to look like and it was amazing. We also got to share our awesome nikau art at the assembly which was pretty cool.

Throughout term 3 we did tahi rua toru tech, a challenge to help our school or the community. In my group was Derek, the Seeker, Amber- Jade, the Secretary and me, the leader. We made early math for kids. We made it so kids from age 4-6 or kid's older who struggle with math because some kids don't like math so we made an app so you do 3 math questions then a mini game and there are different math difficulties to make it fun for the kids so they want to learn their math, because if they didn't learn their math, they would have to do tutoring and it would be harder to get a job.

Three of the teams from our class made it into the regional and one team made it into the nationals. Although we didn't make it into the regionals, we are still proud of how we did.

I learned how to work with people who I wouldn't normally work with, but we were resilient, and we worked together, tried our best and had so much fun during this awesome challenge. Also here is a link to our Tahi Rua Toru Tech blog.

Coding

This term we have been starting coding. The all year 5's have to do CS-First in scratch, and the year 6's that also wanted to do it. If you weren't a  doing CS-First and you were a year 6 you get to do tynker. I choose tynker because it's more advanced than scratch and plus you get told what to do in CS-First.

Tahi Rua Toru Tech

This week is the second to last week of tahi rua toru tech because next week  we are going to be judged, and we are confident that we will probably make it in. This is our most recent blog post:

Hi my Name is Amber- Jade  and i am the  Masters Of  Tech  Secretary ,I am going to share you my idea before we chose Early  Math For Kids , My idea was to help the blind and deaf ,  the reason i chose this idea is because most blind people can not pay for expensive glasses that help them  see ,  and for the deaf they have to pay for really special  hearing aids , we had a bit of pivot’s with that idea but then we chose Early Math For Kids   because my brother has special need’s and he need’s to learn math and also for other kids as well  because  they don’t like math, and prefer to muck around , so this is the conclusion of my idea 

comic

Me, Aidan and Amber-Jade are making a comic  business in the nature trail  and will be selling them for maybe 1 or 2 dollars and a full color  is 3 or 4 dollars and  exclusive are 3,4,5 or six dollars.
