Special Olympics Advertising

2009-12-04T11:52:00.005+13:00

Walt: create an advertisement persuading people to go to the Special Olympics here in Palmerston North.

I used MS Publisher to create this poster.

To make my poster stand out and grab the reader’s attention I used bright colours that go with the back ground and have pictures that go with the event.
I found making the words stand out challenging because there were no good colours to go with the background.
Something I enjoyed was learning how to use a new program to do my work on.
In my poster I used pictures off Clip art and I used eyecatching colours and words.

Special Olympics Movie

2009-11-23T13:23:00.003+13:00

WALT: follow an inquiry process and present out inquiry learning about the Special Olympics using MS Movie maker.

Before making this movie, I looked over the feedback I received last term for my movie about China. Some of the things I took into consideration and tried to improve on when making this movie were to use a loud and clear voice and use different background.

Something interesting I have learnt about the Special Olympics during this inquiry is that you have to be 5 or over to compete and over 1million people participate.

A challenge I found in this inquiry was having to remember the words before we were on camera, I maneged to solve this by trying to make scenes where the person behind the camera could hold the script or make some scenes have to have the script.

Walt: Identify how Special Olympians use SUPER values to overcome challenges and be the best they can be.

2009-09-16T13:29:00.002+12:00

WALT:Follow an inquiry process.

This term we have been learning about China, we have continued building on the inquiry skills we have learnt in term 2. We brainstormed open questions as a class and then delegated these out to pairs.

The part of China Simone and I were finding out more about was China's Traditions, Beliefs and Religions. We found our information on the Internet and from books. We used a data chart to make sure we triangulated all our information so we knew it was true. We then used Movie Maker to present our inquiry.

Something I enjoyed was working with my best friend an learning how to use a new programme. An interesting fact I found out was that the Chinese light off fire crackers to scare off the bad spirits for the New Year also if Yin and Yang are balanced people are happy. My next learning step in inquiry is to try and find more information on my triangulated sheet.

2009-08-19T12:33:00.002+12:00

School Journal, Part 3, Number 3, 2006

Today in reading we were using our Key Word strategy to find out more information about China. Something I found really interesting was that they had to eat a Salted Duck Egg and Cold Prawns.

Cindys Dads VISIT

2009-08-14T10:33:00.003+12:00

Walt: find out more about China to help us in our Dance Performance.

Last week Cindy's Dad came to share with us all about China. He gave us Moon Cake because Moon Cakes are a special Chinese Dessert and they eat them at their Autumn Celebration which is this time of year . An interesting fact I learnt was that Chinese people write differently to us and they have a Traditional writing and a Simplified writing. I really enjoyed the part when we got to eat the Moon Cakes because they were really yummy.

Famous people in early Christian Communities.

2009-07-28T09:50:00.005+12:00

Walt: develop and understanding of the early Christian Church.
In the early Christian communities there were many outstanding people among the Apostles and believers. This person is St Peter. He carried out the Churches mission by caring for Christians and spreading the word about Jesus and God even though it was a threat.
I used Blabberize to present this information.

Anitmoto of Participating and Contributing.

2009-07-21T12:24:00.005+12:00

As part of the Church Strand we are learning about the Key Competency, Participating and Contributing. Showing this Key Competency helps us to be more like Jesus because we can carry out the Churches mission of service and share our gifts and talents with others. I used Animoto to present these photo's of people Participating and Contributing around St James school.

Names and Images of God.

2009-07-21T10:38:00.003+12:00

Walt: Identify different names and images of God.

I used Webspiration to do this double bubble map comparing the names and images of God in the Old Testament to the names and images of God in the New Testament.
Some of the differences I noticed that in the New Testament there are more names and images for God than in the Old Testament.
The main idea I get from looking at scriptures about God is that God looks after his people, loves for them and cares for them.

St Peters Open day!!

2009-06-25T10:50:00.001+12:00

Walt:Use bubble share to share photos.
Yesterday the Year 6's went to St Peters open day. During the day we played Sport, the Drums and I went to Science Class.I learnt that St Peters is a very good school.The part I liked best was going to the Tuck shop because we don't have one at school and it was a special treat.

I used animoto to create this slideshow.

The highlight of Camp for me was Caving because it was a challenge and gave us a chance to overcome our fears.

Memory Drawing of the TUI!!

2009-05-22T12:07:00.002+12:00

Walt:access our prior knowledge.
I used Voicethread to share my drawing of a Tui. This is my drawing at the start of my inquiry. I will do another drawing near the end of my inquiry and it will hopefully show all the new learning I will have done.

Walt: compare and contrast different programes.

This double bubble shows the differencne between to brainstorming programs on the internet, Bubbl.us and Webspiration.

The programme I like to use best is Webspiration because you can add pictures and can make the boxes and lines bigger.

Questioning

2009-05-15T11:28:00.002+12:00

Walt:ask open questions.
I used Webspiration to brainstorm questions that will guide me in my inquiry on the Tui Bird!

Tui Bird New Zealand.

2009-05-15T09:46:00.004+12:00

Walt:Follow an inquiry process.
The Bird I want to learn about is the Tui. I chose it because the Tui is a native New Zealand Bird and it looks interesting.

Jesus calls us to live.

2009-04-07T14:35:00.004+12:00

WALA:how Jesus was one of love for God and people.

As part of RE and Holy Week, we have been learning about how Jesus lived a life of love-Aroha for God and people.

Jesus callls us to live a life of love just like he did. This comic life shows ways we can be Jesus example of Love.
The first photo shows someone returning a camera to a Teacher. The second photo shows a big peson helping a little person across the monkey bars. The third picture shows a different big person helping a little person up the wooden playground. The last picture shows people working in unity to solve a maths problem.

What Helps Us Learn?

2009-04-01T12:31:00.003+13:00

Walt:use Comic Life to create a page about what helps us learn.

The first photo shows our teacher modeling something on the projector. The second photo shows a pair a talking buddies trying to figure something out together. The next photo shows someone working something out of the text maths book. The next picture shows some mind maps that help me learn and organize ideas on paper instead of in my head. Computers and laptops help me learn by reading and sharing my work with others to get ideas.

What helps me to learn?

2009-03-12T13:59:00.005+13:00

Walt:Explain practices that help me to learn.
This wordle shows what I use to help me learn. I used Wordle to create this.

JESUS ON THE CROSS

2009-03-10T09:43:00.007+13:00

WALA:Jesus-the fullness of Gods revelation.

This picture shows that Jesus gave up his life for us,so our sins would be forgiven.

To me this means we should be kind and give up things for others,like money in our class mission box.

The brainy Brain

2008-12-01T10:35:00.001+13:00

The Brainy Brain.

The Brain is a control center that sends and receives messages. The control center controls breathing, thinking and moving. The Brain also stores memories.

Inside the Brain.
The Brain has 3 main parts. The 1st part is the Cerebrum that helps you think and feel. Plus the Cerebrum helps your muscles to move. It is divided into two parts called Hemispheres. The 2nd part is the Cerebellum that helps you to keep your balance.
And the last part is the Brain Stem which controls autmatic actions such as breathing and blinking. Those are the 3 main parts of the brain.
What Does It Do?
The Brain helps you to move and keep your balance in sports and riding your bike.
How do you think your Nervous System Works?
Your Brain sends a message through your spinal cord and Nervous and it tells you it hurts. Your Nervous System is made up of your spine, Brain and Nerves.
Do You Keep Your Brain Healthy?
When you are riding your bike or rollerblading ect. Wear a helmet to protect your brain and skull.

You can exercise your Brain by doing puzzles and thinking activites.
One VERY inportant thing to keep your Brain healthy is sleep and healthy food.

So remeber the Brain is a EXTREMELY inportant part of the Body. Look After It.
