HHS 2021

Today we are doing blog posts about any positive thing that has happened to us this year at school. Inside or outside the classroom. Also some recommendations.

One positive thing I did was making some food in cooking. Because some of the food we made I hadn't had before.

Another is probably doing PE because we got to learn some different sports that some people probably didn't know the rules to. I didn't know somethings about the sports we did.

Next is doing science because I got to do a lot of fun things. Like making Hokey Pokey and lighting our hands on fire. We also learned about some cool things.

If you are coming to hornby high next year then there is a lot of people that you can get help from if your lost. So don't be affraid to go up and ask someone for directions. You can make friends really easily.

What I did in the holidays.

 In hurumanu we did some wrting about what we did in the holidays. We did this off of the word SPILES. Here is what the words mean and what I did in the holidays.

S: Social, P: Physical, I: Intellectual, L: Likes, E: Emotional.

During the holidays I went to Kaikoura for 4 days and had a day break before I went to the West Coast for 6 days and ended up having 2 days to rest before going back to school.

While I was in Kaikoura I walked around with my mother and sister. But while I was at the coast I walked down the beach and walked down the road to the dairy to get their really nice boneless chicken. At some point I did my first volleyball practice with some friends.

I played a strategy game with my friends and I also did some reading. I also watched some youtube videos on something that I wanted to learn or do.

I liked eating the boneless chicken because they tasted really good and if I could I would have them again. I was excited to see the other people in the volleyball team because then I know who they are and what they know.

I felt really tired after being away for most of the holidays.

Making water

I Hur 3 Science we tried making water by burning hydrogen. We had a one small test tube one bigger one to go upside down over the smaller one. We also had a plastic beaker to put the tubes in. First we put a piece of Magnesium in the small one and then we did a decent amount of Hydrochloride acid to melt the metal so the Hydrogen came out. Once you put the acid in the quickly put the bigger tube upside down over it. After a minute or two we took it off and kept it upside down so the Hydrogen didn't escape. We were in groups so each of us did this we moved the bigger tube still upside down and put the tip of the tub in the flame of the burner. Here's what we had to do after.

Broken: Rock, Paper, Scissors

In writing we have been writing about one of the characters in the story/movie Broken. It's about three people a fairy who is paper, a golem who is rock and a metal person who is scissors. I chose scissors because I like how they are so useful. The hard part was the writing but the easy part was making this blog post.

The dawn came I jumped and went for a creepy walk. I was walking chopping down trees and chopping everything in my path. Once I chopped at least sixteen trees I saw a fairy, it was paper! I walked fast and fast after her but out of nowhere rock rolled from the mountain. He tried to make her come with him to get away from my but she didn’t budge. By then I was half why to them he grabbed her hand and yanked her but he immediately let go because paper bets rock so he whispered to her,
 “Come on, he's going to get you.” so she ran with him.  I was starting to get more angry so I sliced and diced everything and anything. They ran all the way through the forest but they came to a stop because there was a huge mountain in front of them. They were not thinking that I was right behind them, dragging my sword along the ground. I was right behind two trees I got my fingers and put them on two sides of a flower and I snipped it off and sliced the two trees what I was hiding behind and walked towards the two. Paper looked at me for a second I thought she was going to give up but she flew at like a fighter jet but I sliced her wings in half and paper crashed to the ground and rock ran over to see if she was okay. I tried to chop rock but he was too hard he got really angry so he tried to punch me two times I dodged both so he jumped up, up into the air and crushed me into a metal pancake lying on the floor. And that was the end of the life of me but it’s not over…

Who am I?

For the past few days in literacy we have been writing a who am I about yourself. We had to use as many similes and metaphors as possible, for example They've got brown eyes brown as oiled wood. First we wrote the Guess who then we printed it and last we drew a picture and stuck a piece of paper over it. I found easy was writing things about me and the hard part was drawing a picture.

The cover and the back cover of my book

Today we have been making book cover what is going to be the front and back of a pobble book. Mine is about a white seals adventure and the seals name is Glen. The name of the book is Glen the white seals adventure! If you want to use a picture from pobble just search pobble 365. It's has so much things to do and you can use it when ever you want! That the best part the hard part is...     ...Nothing! If you want to make something off of  a picture it's for you. This slide show has the ideas for my front and back of my book. The hard part was probable the seal for the front and the easy part is the snow. You can be really creative with it you can go from a dragon to a horse to a white seal what I'm doing.

Book Creator

These two days we have been doing Literacy. If we finish doing are thing we need to do. After we finished we got to do can do's. The can I did was a writing one. The site what I went on is book Creator. Book Creator is a site where you can join a library or make one. You can make a comic to a book but only thing is make it yours. My one is called If you find a book pick it up and read it. It's about a circle what finds a book laying on the ground and wants the circle to read it. It's was really easy to make but the hard part was thinking of ideas.

How the create a fortune teller.

For the last few weeks we have been learning how to make a fortune teller and making instructions to make one. Mine might not be correct just comment and tell me please and I'll change it. Making this is really fun and easy but the hard part is doing the instructions correctly.

How to make a fortune teller.

1. Get your square piece of paper and fold it in half and then undo it so it’s flat and fold it in half the other way, the undo that so there’s two lines through the middle.
2. Next you want to fold it diagonal so it’s a triangle then undo that then fold it the other way so it’s a triangle then undo that again the other way.
3. Now you want to fold the corners into the middle and then flip it over and fold the corners into the middle again.
4. From here flip it over and fold it in half. Now put your fingers in the flaps and push them together. Now you are done!
   

Prediction

For the last few weeks we have had to do a challenge to do a hide and seek writing and and this prediction. We have to do it before Friday this week so I just got this post in time. For the prediction we had to predict what was going to happen, what happened, what is happening. Once we did that we had to show a friend and they would check if they said it was okay and you didn't need fix anything you go and show the teacher. Now here is my work.

Biteable All About Me

In the past few weeks in cybersmart we have been using Biteable instead of slides to show all about me. Biteable is a site that you can make scenes with moving pictures. You type your sentience in what can only be 80 letters and spaces so you have a limit but you can make a new scene with a new picture. It's really fun and the easiest was making it but the hardest part was probable putting it on my blog. Now here's my Biteable. Next will be my South Hornby School one.
All About Me on Biteable.

Hide and Seek

This week we have been picking a hiding spot and someone else took a photo of the spot we were in. Then we had to inform or to instruct or to entertain who ever reads it. So I decided to instruct the ready to my spot in the classroom. We also needed to make a map so I made a quick and easy one with shapes. When I finished this is what I ended up with.

Hide and seek outside

This week in Mr Breaches literacy we found a hiding spot outside and we wrote to either inform, entertain or make a map to show where to find your hiding spot. I found it easy to find my hiding spot but I found it hard to use describing words.

In literacy we have been learning about vocabulary for impact. We used lots of reflective questions to think about the picture. I found the writing challenging because it started to get loud.
