Inchape Rock Poem

This a poem that reads out a verse about the Inhcape Rock, My Verse was about Sir Ralph and his Men traveling across a swelling sea. 
This was our activity then we were told to write down What does the text mean. 
After writing the context we were asked to read out our verse before checking our Verse meaning with the teacher.
We also found out clues to why Sir Ralph Died why he would cut off the Inchape bell.

M&M's presentation

Me,Sanujan,Nickela,Jonathan and Harlem created a presentation researching M&M's.
We created a bar graph and a diagram to show the results of which color was most popular.
To do this we were given instructions to come and get a packet of M&M's and a paper for our graph. We counted out all of the M&M's and ordered them into groups. 
The highest rate was green. There were 16 Green, 11 Orange, 10 Brown, 7 Yellow, 6 Blue and 6 Red.
The next day we made the DLO we took a screenshot of our bar graph we  made and a screen shot of our diagram.
The diagram shows how much in percentage the packet weighs with the amount of M&M's in it.
 For our information about when was the blue M&M made we wrote down the key information because before the Blue M&M existed, they used to sell Tan coloured M&M's but they removed it and replaced it with the blue M&M.
Our next task was to find out the history about the M&M's Which stands for Marrie&Mars which was a company that made mars chocolates.
We also wrote our guesses of how much the packet will weigh everybody in our group chose there guess. We also put down 7 facts about the mars company and chocolate. We popped in a video to explain key information about M&M's. We also wrote a comparison and the video to show the M&M's ad on T.V.

This was cool it was a fantastic day I couldn't wait to make my own animation.

Casey and Jeff animated story

This is an example of an animated story that I recreated in scratch. For this task I used sprites which are cartoon characters for my animated story we used Back drops for the background.
The Components used to create this story include Backdrops CharactersSpeech bubbles Effects The codes that I used to Recreate the story include:

• Events script codes to start the story 
• Looks script to enable the sprites to speak
• Control for the character to move from place to place
• Looks for back drops to appear 

This was fun it was interesting  to make an animation from scratch, Today was our last day to finish our animated stories then we posted them up on our blog.

How do you use a unicycle/Unicycle research

I have learnt about unicycles and how people teach starters how they could ride one.

This was my reading task for today this video is about how to ride a unicycle.This was fun to learn about because I did not know that there were other cycles like a normal bicycle.

About a  Unicycle.

This was the information I found out about unicycles,

A Unicycle is a one wheeled cycle which  is often used for actors like clowns or juggling people. The places they use a unicycle in is a Circus or a talent show.

Unicycles take time to practise because it is hard to pedal on a one wheeled bike.

Heaps of people have talents using a unicycle. It is interesting to ride a unicycle in a show while everybody's watching you.

When were unicycles invented?

Unicycles were invented during 1866, James Stanley evented a unique bicycle & Penny farthing.

I enjoyed learning about unicycles it was something different to learn about. And how people are going to learn how to ride one.

Kiwi Can

This week in Kiwi can we have a new topic called accountability. Today our energizer was copy me we followed instructions on the board it had a variety of actions that we needed to do. First we got into groups of 4 or 6 then we picked a leader for our group. Each leader from each group had to come to Miss Lily to get a card the number on the card was the number of the action we needed to do. This was fun when each team finished there leader had to count all the cards and the team with the most cards wins.

Our next activity was 2 truths 1 lie in this game we had to tell 2 truths and 1 lie then everybody had to think which one was the lie. 

Accountability is keeping your own actions to yourself this shows people the values of keeping out of trouble.
