Chromebook Reflection

Question:
How has having a chromebook, connected to the internet, helped my learning this year? 

Having a chromebook has helped my learning this year because we can research faster and easier. Chromebooks are similar to a bunch of books from the library, but netbooks are better because you can type a few keywords and you can find the answer. It helps us because we can learn new things. Another reason why chromebbooks has helped my learning this year is because we can share our work to the whole wide world. It helps us because people can comment on our work and we can improve on what they said. My favourite thing we did with our chromebooks is Google Maps. We made one about our blog posts. It is my favourite thing we did on our chromebooks because it helps us to know what blog post links which country/city.

My Face-a-mazing Persuasive Text About Facebook

WALT persuade people on our view of Facebook for people under 13. I know I have persuaded people on our view of Facebook by making a persuasive text and persuaded somebody. This is my persuasive text of my side of the argument about Facebook for little kids:

I truly, truly, truly agree that Facebook for children under 13 is bad.

The first reason why Facebook is bad is because older people might say bad words to you. Would you want people to swear at you? I believe that if people are swearing at you so much, you might start swearing to other people. 5% of the words people speak each day are swear words. Swearing is bad, swearing is disagreeable, swearing is unpleasant, which means swearing is bad for little kids.

The second reason why Facebook is bad for little children is because you might not be Cybersmart. Cybersmart means you don’t share private things about you. Do you want strangers to visit your house? Most people are bad guys so if they go to your house, they might steal all your stuff! I believe people don’t use Cybersmart on Facebook. Cybersmart is good for everyone that uses computer.

The final reason why Facebook is bad for little children is because big people might bully you. That means you might try to suicide yourself because of your uniqueness. Big people might say you’re too small for Facebook. Do you want big people to tease you, a lot? Teasing is bad, teasing makes us sad, teasing makes us mad. I agree that adults always annoy you because some Facebook members are bullies. Nearly 43% of kids have been bullied online.

Now we know why Facebook is bad for little children. Facebook has swearing, Facebook is not Cybersmart, Facebook is bullying.

Saint Patricks School

Freddie Fletcher

Fletchers Family Food Factories 

Auckland                                                                                                                                    29/08/13

Dear Freddie,

I believe that Fletchers Family Food Factories is fantastic for our school.

Building a factory on our courts would be great because they will give us a contest to create a new playground for Room 4 and 5. We don't need to pay for it. It will have a wooden castle, slides, bridges and other obstacles. Without the playground, we wouldn't exercise and we wouldn't lose weight. Do you want to design the new playground? Designing the playground is awesome, playing in the playground is fun, playing in the playground makes us fit.

Another reason why building a factory on our courts is great because they will give us CCTV. Without CCTV, thieves will steal our things. CCTV is a security camera that has a TV to see if thieves are about to steal our school property. Would you want your things to be stolen? You would be sad and you'll get told off from the teacher. CCTV is cool, CCTV is great, CCTV is the best camera ever!

The final reason why building a factory on the top court is great because there is going to be light traffic.  There is going to be less cars which makes less smoke and less noise. There is going to be a small car park replacing the old playground replacing the bottom court. Would you like the noise level the heavy traffic makes? It will distract your learning your playtime, and your other important learning.  Less cars, less smoke, less noise. 

If we have a factory, we can have a new park for Room 4 and 5, we can have the best security camera and there is going to be less traffic. Fletchers Family Food Factories is fantastic on our courts.

Yours Faithfully,
Greshka

Student

On the top of the pyramid are the fats, sweets and oils. The food that are inside is a piece of cake, pancakes, fudge, a cookie, chocolate, fries, and a lollipop.

Below the Dairy and the Meats are the Fruit and Veges. In the Fruit section there are strawberries, watermelon, a apple, rock-melon, a orange, peaches, a pear, a pineapple, grapes, and a banana.  In the Veges section, there are tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, squash, carrots, corn, potato, broccoli, beets, a pumpkin, and a onion.

Below all of those sections is the Grains. Inside the Grains are donuts, a muffin, bologna, nuts, bread and cereal, brown rice, macaroni, spaghetti, egg, a cupcake, and a pretzel.

My Structure-tastic Persuasive Writing

In this photo, I estimated that 10 counters could fit in the shape, and I was wrong. Only 6 counters could fit in the shape. Kolio also had the same estimation as me and he was wrong too. He got 11 counters that can fit in his shape.

In this photo, I estimated that 20 books can fit in the mat, and I was wrong again. Over 100 books can fit the mat. My classmates estimated 40, 100, and 500.

Our Oblong-some Non-Standard Unit of Measure

WALT use non-standard measures to find the area of a shape. A non-standard unit of measure is something you can use measure the area, but it can be different shapes and sizes. Mrs Richardson told us to draw our own shapes in the playground with chalk.  We drew the shape, then we estimated that 4 students will be able to sit in it, and we were correct. I know when I have used non-standard measures to find the area by estimating it. These are the pictures we took of the chalk and when we were inside:

In this photo we made and made an estimation of how many people could fit sitting inside the shape. We were trying to find out the area of our shape using our bodies. This is a non standard unit of measure. A non standard unit of measure is something that you can use to measure something, but it is a different shapes and sizes. 

We were right! We estimated that 4 students could fit

Fantastic Football

Do you know what sport we are playing this term? Room Five and I played AFL yesterday, on the field. Our coach was Jereum. We played lots of fun games. We were going to learn lots of new skills. We changed into our P.E clothes for the game.

First, we played a warm up game called Continuous Tag. All of us were the taggers and we had to tag everyone! When we tagged someone, we had to sit down on the grass. When the person who tagged you was down, you can get up and tag anyone who is up and running. I tagged lots of people and some people tagged me. Then the game was finished.

Next, we learned a new skill called Drop Punt. There were four tips to achieve the skill. The four tips were laces away from faces, the cross pointing the sky and the ground, hands on lines, and while we are kicking, our shoes are pointing to the front. We had to go in partners to do this. I was with Celeste. She kicks more better than me and I catch it.

Finally, we played a game which had two islands, separated with a river in between, and fighting in a battle. We were split into two teams. Our partners was in the other team.
