Favorite things to do

Hi, Welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you a bit more about what I like to do while I'm in quarantine. As I said in my previous blog post I love to read. Right now I am reading book 4 of the Twilight series and I am really enjoying reading the book. I love to read about any mythical creatures and vampires are my favorite type of 'monster'.  In between having my " nose in my book " as my Mum likes to say, I like to dance. Yesterday I had my first two online dance classes. It was really nice seeing everyone from my dance class, but it came as a bit of a shock when I found out how inflexible I had become within 5 days. I think that it is really nice how the dance school is trying to still keep up the lessons, but still I wish that my ballet school would put up dance classes online. I thought that the online class when really well considering how much space most people had. We learnt the rest of the syllabus for contemporary and learnt a combo to a Billie Eilish song - Everything I wanted. I also got to do some work in my pointe shoes. ( It is my first year with pointe shoes so I am super excited to use them )

My Pointe shoes

That's what I like to do in quarantine. What do you like to do and why?

Quarantine

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about what I have been doing in quarantine, what I like about it and what I don't like. When I first heard that school would be shutting down I was quite nervous because that meant that Covid-19 was in the community, but it was not that bad.  This is day 8 of quarantine and I am still alive. We are allowed to go outside for walks around our area as long as we keep two meters from other people and don't play or touch playgrounds. At home I have to still do maths, reading and writing but I can also play a lot more and I have more time to myself. One of my favorite things to do while in quarantine is to read. I love reading and now I have a whole lot more time to read. I am a bit disappointed because I cannot go to my dance class and even though I can dance at home I still have a LOT of things that I can improve on, that my dance teacher could help me with if I could go to dance class.  I  have a online class with my contemporary and lyrical dance teacher today but it will be different and I wish I could have a class with my ballet teacher too.  something else that I enjoy is sewing and knitting and I have had the chance to finishes a unicorn pillow that I have had for ages.

That is what I have been doing in quarantine I am now of to bake a cake. Have you been in quarantine before and if so how was or is it.

Reading task

Hi,welcome back to my blog. This week for reading my reading goal is to: Identify some text events and what they make the reader think about. For this goal we had to read a story and then list what the author did and why then we had to make a summary of the story on a poster.

That was my poster. Do you think about why the book is laid out the way it is and of so why. 

Hady burger writing

Hi, welcome back to my blog. This week for writing I have made a writing template for the Tumu hub.

That was my template. What hub would you choose and why?

Tidy numbers

Hi,welcome back to my blog today I will showing you my maths task for this week. The strategy that we have been working on is Tidy numbers/ Rounding and Compensating.

That was my poster. Do you know any other strategies for addition and/or subtraction.

Maths

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my independent maths task that I did on a diamond mat for week 3.

That was my maths task.
Do you do independent maths tasks?

Creativity

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about how I used creativity in making my fair project. As you probably already know this term we are having a fair and the year 7-8s are making games for the fun zone in assigned P.B.L groups and we had to focus on 3 of the 6 C's. Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. I think that one of the ways we showed creativity was when we thought about how we cloud make that game and keep the costs down. Another thing that we did that I thought was creative was when we made the certificates for the fair and how we thought about what to put on them. Something else that I thought that we did well was with the poster and how we make the theme to fit the game. Something that I think that I come work on is taking the game to the next level and making it better and better.

That was my fair poster.
Have you helped with a fair before?

Collaborating

Hi , welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about how well my group for the fair has worked together. This term we are having a fair and the year 7-8s are making games for the fun zone in assigned P.B.L groups and we had to focus on 3 of the 6 C's. Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. I think that one of the things that we did well was that at the beginning we where good at contributing ideas for possible fair games and thinking about how we would create them. Another thing that I think that we where good at was thinking about what the game would look like and how we would set it up.  Something else that we where good at was prioritising out tasks and getting our work done on task completion so that we could help more with making the game. I think that in the future that I could work more on talking to the group more before making it so we all know why we are doing or not doing something.

My Prototype picture.

That was what I think I did well in my group and what I think I could improve on.  Do you think that you work well in a team?
