Cybersmart Gamefroot

For Cybersmart we have been creating a game on Gamefroot. We are learning to code, I had to get some help from James as I had coded it wrong. I had coded my player into the background code, instead of putting my player into it's own coded folder. I am enjoying creating a game, I think I am doing quite well so far, I have called my game The Ultimate Survivor. Here is my game so far,

My June Reflection

Today for writing we were doing our June Reflection's, I am learning how to reflect on my learning in June, we do this every month to look back on what we have learnt and to see what learning we can improve on next month.  This is my first full month I have been at St Mary's School, I enjoy being at this school. I have made some new friends in my class. 

I enjoyed reflecting on what I have been learning this month. My digital object shows I can take a selfie, add it to my work and screenshot my work to upload it on my blog.

Student-Led Conference

This week in writing we are learning to understand how to shape texts for different purposes and audiences, we have been working on creating our Student-Led Conference invitations. We had to make sure our invitations included who it was for, what it was for, the date of the event which is our Student-Led Conference, the Instructions on how to book a time and who it is from.

Firstly, we made an avatar it had to look like me. Then we had to claim a slide to type our invitation on, once we typed out our invitation we changed the background and added our avatar. Here is the inside of my invitation. 

it was hard to make my invitation 

Wanted Poster

 This week for reading we were reading Odysseus and the Cyclops.  I had to make a Character profile on Odysseus and a Wanted poster for Cyclops incase he escapes the cave. I am still learning how to infer, inferring means when there is clues in a story but you have to figure out the answers.

How do caterpillars transform into Butterfly

 How do caterpillars transform into a butterfly?

A caterpillar is the wormlike larva of an insect and usually turns into a butterfly or a moth. Did you know that caterpillars turn into butterflies? 

They shed their skin four to five times in their life. The female butterfly lays eggs.  Caterpillars grow and hatch in a few weeks. Then the caterpillars hatch out of the eggs. A caterpillar eats a lot to get ready for hibernation. A caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. They find a safe place to make a cocoon. The spot they need needs lots of twigs to make a cocoon. Then the cocoon hardens to stop predators and bad weather. Then the caterpillar goes in the cocoon. The caterpillar slowly forms into a butterfly. The cocoon splits in half and the butterfly goes on top of the cocoon and sits there to dry its wings. Then it kicks the cocoon and flies away and goes to eat flowers. Then it goes and lays eggs and repeats the cycle. There are lots of different  caterpillars species and lots of different species of butterflies.  

Reading tasks week 6

 This week for reading I was learning to infer. Inferring is when the author puts clues in a book and you have to work it out by reading the text to find the clues. 

I enjoyed reading The Adventures of Cleo the homing cow. I liked the parts when she won the cow contest, how she ran away and then when they caught her and put her in the trailer.

                                                                  

                 

Tapa Cloth

This week is Samoan Language week, we have been learning patterns to make our own Tapa cloth. It is made out of card, brown crayons and dye. First I marked out the patterns with my pencil, then I coloured in the patterns with the brown crayon and finally I put the dye onto the Tapa cloth. 

Here is my Tapa cloth design

Pixel Art

This week I have been learning how to draw a sprite art using a website called Piskel. We learnt this in our Cybersmart class. This is my first time using this website, we were making the Sprite to upload onto Scratch to create our very own game.

I enjoyed learning how to use the tools and it was easy and I had fun designing him, I choose to recreate a octopus with a hat. I have finished him, I  hope we get to do it again.
