What can we do with eleven random things?

Kia Ora,

This Term we have been focused on brain training, so basically we have this spreadsheet, it has all these things we have to finish each week before friday, so there is maths on there, spelling and reading all sorts of things, we have to do all of the work before school starts.

There is the flow basics which is just all the things we need to complete, and then there is flow fundamental, this is each week we have a poster and there is like the prime number of the week and all different things, and then in our scrap books we recreate but not just do it word for word, you do so you say the prime number of the week is 7 you could put the meaning of a prime number. 

That's what the blog post is going to be about, it's going to be about the poster and then my recreation of it, I will show the poster and then the picture.

I will be showing you the spreadsheet so its not too confusing:


And then the fundamentals is just like, a box says whats the prime number of the week and then you put 7,

Anyways, here's the picture of the poster that our teacher made:



Here's mine:

This week we just started with this, its a bit interesting and new to everyone in the class, I think it could like a bit hard doing it all in the morning and also having other work to do, but I think we all can do it. 
I hope you enjoyed,
I will have another blog about this but the same next week.

Do you know about flow?
If so what do you thinks flow?
Have you ever been in flow?

How To Hammer A Nail ~ Home Learning Term 4 - Week 1

 Kia Ora,

Today I will be doing Home Learning for Term 4, we haven't done Home Learning for while actually, the Home Learning is optional but our teacher remmonds it, whoever does the most until the end of the year wins a prize, 


But what the Home Learning is based off this term is... Old fashion Skills, there is 40 things we need to relearn to learn and make a blog post about, for example my one I will be doing today is: How to Hammer a Nail, but there is like how to introduce yourself and how to make cheques and all that type of stuff, I chose to do a animation and how you how to hammer a nail in wood.

The List is on Rimu Site but I don't know if I'm allowed to show you that.

I will be making a blog post about one of them each week for the rest of Term 4, some people might do t everyday or every second day, but I don't have the most time after school I will still try to do at least one.

It Was super fun to do this, I think it was a good way to teach others and yourself, I already knew how to do this but, others might not and you might know how to hammer too but its good to relearn, I will have to learn myself for some of the different things in the list... Enjoy!

Do you know how to Hammer a Nail?

If so who taught you?

What things do you want to learn about but just haven't got the time to do it yet?

Until Next time BYE!

Here is How To Hammer A Nail:

Arthur's Pass Camp

                                                                              Kia Ora,

Today I will be showing you my camp experience, for the class we had to make episodes, but since I was in student summit and others were too, we couldn't do all the different blog posts, so I made a DLO with all of the activities and photos.

As well what I didn't explain in the slide deck, that we got campers cash, basically our Teacher designed this pieces of paper and had the word campers cash, you got them when you did something like, try something new and do all different types of things, and the parent helpers gave some ot too, and then we got to collect them, and then today 23rd september we do a auction on all different types of toys or things that you can buy with your campers cash,  Here's the slidedeck .

Overall, My feelings for camp: I think that camp was so much camp, last years camp I went to Wellington, this camp was so different, in wellington it was more relaxed I guess I could say but not in a bad way, at Arthur's Pass we did so many cool and fun activities (We did in Wellington too) but Arthur's Pass was so much outdoor, and was super good. It was one of the best camps ever I have been to.

Have you been to Arthur's Pass?

Have you been on camp?

What's your favourite camp you have been to? Why?

If you got to chose to go to anywhere for a camp where would you go? Why?

Until next time,

Online Student Summit?!

Kia Ora,
Today was Student Summit,
It was online!
If you don't know student summit is where you get a website and present it to others, and normally do it at South Hornby School, but this year was on a google meet,
We still had teams presenting but all the other students get to go on the google meet links and join their meets and go o the website as they explain.

I got to present we my friend Abby. 
Then I got to join 3 others, so I will be explaining the sessions I got to do.
Here it is:

Session one:
Pear Deck
It was sort of confusing, it was because my microphone was glitching I little bit so it glitched out some of them, so I didn't get to finish the slide, the only thing I got to do was make the front cover and then a second slide with only a little bit, pear deck is just a add on, on google slides, So this one I won't be inserting anything

Session two:
Easel.ly (My presentation) 
I think my one went well, I think that it was pretty good because most of the people got the hang of it and didn't get too confused but some other people did too, and then some people had issues with the their microphone.


Session three:
Miro
I think this one was better than the first because I actually get to mke it, but they had to go because they went a bit off track and then they couldn't finish because the time ran out.
They explained it well with the time being.
But here is it

Session four:
Biteable (Last session)
This one was super good, although some people were singing and not doing ht they were told, I have used biteable a lot and I used it for my website last year for the Student Summit, and I chose to see if there is anything else I could learn about it, I made a biteable about otters because they said make it about anything you want to.
Here it is
Overall thoughts:
I think this year was very different, it was online, it was hard to explain and like helping and not being able to explain in real life, it was a challenge but a good challenge to do, it helped me with if this happened again say we went into lockdown, it helped me with presenting if I needed to. 
Overall it was different but super fun to have a go at.

Until next time,
Bye.

I have a dream...

Namaste bloggers, 
This month is speeches in Rimu...
When I heard we were going to do speeches, I was excited, but then I was worried but I didn't know of any topics to do.

In rimu before we started to do planning/practicing the speeches, we got to do an activity (which is the will be the DLO below)
The activity is to do a picture of ourselves in a google drawing and then go into our mental toughness slide, in that slide there was lots of headings ( 5 mental toughness toolkits) , and then the picture that we made went into the middle, then we put the 5 mental toughness tool kit headings and went words that we thought went with it and things we want to achieve. 
The DLO is called I have a dream because of the speech that Martin Luther presented in 1963.
The 5 mental toughness toolkits are
Positive thinking
Attention control
Self Awareness
Goal setting
Anxiety control
Here is the DLO:
In this DLO I was thinking about my performance last year and how I can take it to the next step up and be better and stronger than last year.
The hardest thing for me in speeches are being confident and talking loud and clear plus choosing a good entertaining topic, I normally go fast and quiet, but this year I will try and give it my all as its my last year.
The easiest is probably writing it, although it can get hard sometimes writing, it depends on the topic, because if you do like a very big topic its hard to some of it down.

Have you ever wrote/present a speech? If so how did it go?
Do you have any tips?
What do think the easiest and hardest thing is when writing/presenting a speech?

If you are writing a comment on here, here is a helpful sentence starters
Positive - I loved this because.....
Thoughtful - This reminded me of when.....
Helpful - Maybe you could....

Until next time...

A voice recording on a comment!?!?!?!??!

Namaste Bloggers,

Last Tuesday we moved onto the next lesson in the Uru Manuka sessions,
This was about commenting on others blogs...

My group the Confident one, we did learning how to put a URL on a comment.... The link takes you to a video or voice recording...

So in this blog post I will be showing you how to do that...
This week lesson was working individually and not in a group this time.

This took a few times for me to do, the first time it didn't work so well, and the second time it worked out perfectly and anyone can click the link and go and listen to my voice recording.....

We also could do a video but I will be explaining today how to do the voice recording one instead of the screencastify.

Here is my DLO:
Thanks for watching!

Will you put a voice recording on this blog post?
Did you learn something new?
Did you like it?

Until next time,
BYE
