Week In Review

This week was the first week back at school and I had so much fun with my classmates and seeing them again!

Be safe!

Back To School Activities!

Today, Auckland is back into Level 2 and that means that Glen Taylor students are back at school! This diagram shows the difference and similarities of having real life lessons and lock down lessons.
I also have other difference like, when I am at school I get outside more often and run around but when we were in lockd own all I did was sit on my bed or the couch doing work or eating!

STEM Cards - Plane Creation & Cup Pyramid

For this weeks STEM Cards Challenges, I chose to do a Plane Creation which is made from a plastic bottle and two cardboard wings, and the other challenge I chose to do was a Cup Pyramid Challenge, where I used 10 cups and tried to make a Pyramid in under 30 seconds.

Both my Challenges were hard and successful, I made my Pyramid with only 1 second left and my Plane flew very well.

Daily 5 - Work On Writing

For Daily 5 today, I did Work On Writing, Word Work and Independent Reading. 

This is my Work On Writing work which is from Once Upon A Picture. 

I chose this picture to do because when I saw this picture, I already had a story in mind and I loved the setting in this picture.

Interview With Marc Lepage Reflection!

A good friend of Mr Niks came into our Morning Class Call and talked to us about his condition and his job! Marc Lepage is a Game Developer and his specialty is with the Sound in games. He has a terrible condition called Cystic Fibrosis which affects the lungs. 

Marc Lepage has helped with a whole lot of games and he is a very very successful person in my eyes!

TED Talk - Social Media

This TED Talk was all about Social Media and how some random videos that people posted not expecting anything, went viral just by 1 famous person tweeting about it. 

Allocca works with YouTube and he looks after the trending side of YouTube, his job is too watch a whole lot of YouTube videos and figure out what it trending everyday.

STEM Cards - Small Umbrella & Egg Drop

This week we have started doing STEM Cards. STEM stands for - Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. There are over 54 activities to choose from! 

I chose to do the Small Umbrella and Egg Drop activities. I learnt that art and crafts can be very very hard especially when you have to use your imagination and no instructions or video to learn from.

I chose these activities because I had the materials to do them and they looked very interesting!
