CyberSmart - Wordcloud

Yesterday for CyberSmart we were looking at our digital footprint. We decided to make a Word cloud with our history on our Chromebooks. We saw Gerhard's history and we saw a word that looked pretty odd and that word was Proposal. We asked him why he had Proposal on there and it was about him going for a new job. Unfortunately we had no internet so we made them today. There will be an image down below of my World cloud.

It was fun learning about what Gerhard does on his work account and how little cookies in our computers talk to each other and put advertisements on Facebook and other social media sites. He also talked about how are computers are listening to us, Gerhard also showed us that by saying "Hi Siri" and the it replied. We were all in shock. He then showed us his Word cloud then he had to work with another group, It was really fun. Don't forget to comment. 

Yesterday/Today we did CyberSmart on thinglink. We previously made a picture on BeFunky and published that onto thinglink then we used the rule of two. The rule of two is two bits of information about yourself then its two videos that link to yourself finally you add two websites that link to yourself. It was really cool because I got to see myself on YouTube.

The Big Move

On Monday we moved from our old classes into one big classroom called Te Waka Ako. We had a big opening ceremony that the whole school attended. We had a speech from our local MP Michael Wood. Michael Wood came to talk about how privileged we are to be in the new classroom. The Kapa Haka group which I was a part of preformed two songs He Honore and Tu Tere Mai Nga Iwi. To finish it off Michael Wood cut the ribbon for our classroom to be officially open to the students from Waikowhai Primary School. It was a fun experience, the year fives are so lucky that they can be in here next year. I wish I am a year five. But the year sixes still get half a year in the classrooms which is still awesome. We have the coolest furniture like couches and high chairs and more. One end building has a big glass sliding door that is sound resistant, It awesome in here. The building has no walls so it just one big classroom. We also have three teachers that roam around and help us plus we get taught by them as well. We have three home bases Waitemata - Green, Hauraki - Blue and Manukau - Yellow,  mine is Waitemata. Hope you like my post feel free to comment and don't forget to check out the photos.

First Cyber Smart Session

Today we had our first Cyber Smart session this year. We had somebody new, His name was Jerad. He was replacing James because James could only have three years to teach Cyber Smart. It was really fun because we learnt about our digital foot print. Hope you like my post, feel free to comment.

Matariki

This week we have been learning about Matariki. We all had to make our own presentations on what we knew about Matariki. Here is my work, please feel free to comment. 

Swimming Zones

Today certain year five and six students were chosen to be in the Mt Roskill swimming zones. I was one of the students that was chosen, It was so nerve racking once we got there. I was doing freestyle and breaststroke even though I was real bad at breaststroke.  I swam my best in freestyle - 16.50, I was really proud of myself. But in the breaststroke I got 33.30 but yet again it's not my favourite style. We also did a year six boys relay and a year six girls relay and both of our teams came fourth which is awesome. Then every one else did a medley relay bar us because none of us could do butterfly but that's fine. So after all the relays they announced the overall relay winners and of course it was going to be Three Kings School, But overall we had an awesome day.

After we looked at the videos we got some inspiration to write some of our own. Here is my story stater guess what happened at the end, don't forget to comment.

Along the beautiful trimmed bushes, beautiful smooth paint jobs, magnificent polished Audi R8’s along Jam St sits the Troydmurg household. Charles was sound asleep dribbling profusely out of his mouth and nose. His Wife is waffling about herself as per usual. In the meantime his huge black toenail begins to wriggle off…

His toenail has eventually fallen off leaving a revolting odour in the bedroom. Jeremy the toenail started growing bigger and bigger until it was the size of a big baby. Then he begins hopping around the room bashing into everything, but somehow Charles and his wife didn’t wake up. Jeremy hit his head on the wardrobe and some smelly undies fell on his huge jagged toenail head. In the meantime Tom the cat snuck into the room and sat on Charles’s bed, eyeing Jeremy out looking at him like it was his favourite treat. Tom was about to attack when Jeremy ran out the door barely escaping on a journey to find…
