🕷️~!Spiders Are Very Fascinating!~🕷️

Spiders Info!

Have you ever seen an insect with 8 legs? Well if you have, you might have seen a spider!! Spiders are insects who can be in different colours and sizes with some of these spiders being huge enough to eat a little young baby bird.

Spiders can be a huge terror for some people (For me I’m one of these people!) Spiders are really harmless but only a few in the world could be a bit dangerous as some have venom across their body.   Here are some facts about some of my favourite kinds of spiders! Jumping Spider, I find these spiders very very Fascinating as it was said to be the cutest spider in the world, but it is more uglier than other kinds to be honest. Daddy long legs, These kind of spiders are very chill they would just chill on top of the corner in your room most times and would basically do nothing. COOL!!!

Thank you for listening to me and my response about a book about spiders.

How Me And My Group Created Ice Cream😛 pt 1

Kia orana, I will begin talking about How Me And My Group Created Ice Cream.

First of all what is ice cream?

Ice cream is a frozen dessert typically made from milk or cream that has been flavored with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit, such as strawberries or peaches. Food coloring is sometimes added in addition to stabilizers. The mixture is cooled below the freezing point of water and stirred to incorporate air spaces and prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. It can also be made by whisking a flavored cream base and liquid nitrogen together. The result is a smooth, semisolid foam that is solid at very low temperatures. It becomes more malleable as its temperature increases.

So, my class and two others had been taken to the hall to start doing experiments. What were the experiments about? ICE CREAM!!!!! everyone who was in the hall was very excited. Especially me because I began liking ice cream around that time. As everyone was getting ready our first instruction was to wash our hands which me and my class have already done. Once those who haven’t washed their hand washed them we were told what we needed and what we needed them for. But before any of that, we actually had to decide on two recipes for each ice cream one for a creamy ice cream and one for just dairy we had to choose a plant based or dairy and of course my group chosen dairy! So once every group got the items they needed everyone zoomed looking for spots to make their ice cream.  First we had to fill a small zip lock bag with 1/4 of water(Same with the other bag.) Then add about 1/4 of milk powder for both bags. pt 2 tomorrow!

Real Or Fake!?!?

Real Or Fake?

What do you think of when  you are looking at a real life image on the internet? Like what if you are looking at a table holding five cars would you believe it? “Since it is an image from real life its got to be real.” WRONG! You can’t just believe things on the internet even if it’s from a real life image it could have been photo shopped. People now are super gullible especially when it is from the internet. This makes people less smart, causing them to believe and spread fake rumors. So without further ado let’s show you what I have done with our teacher for this afternoon, Matua Aina.

Aina is a cyber smart teacher who teaches students all over Papakura. He shows kids how to create images and use technology we use for our learning journey.

So he had shown us a slide show full of images and we would either have to guess if the image was real or fake! The first image that was projected on the televison was a pilot taking a selfie while steering a plane out the window, could that be possible? The answer would be No, It would be hard to take a selfie up in the air because of the high altitude and wind speed. Instead if part of it was real then that would mean the photo  that was taken was a photo shopped photo. Photo shopped is something where you’d take a part of the photo and take it to a background of a different image, And that was what we had to do. I began going crazy from excitement. first we took images of ourselves somewhere and removed the background and placed ourselves in another setting. I found this easy as I had done this before various amounts of time to decorate some slide shows I create for my work. After this lesson I felt joy.

What Makes A Great Teacher! pt 1

What Makes A Great Teacher!?!?🤔

Teachers play important roles in life because they are people who teach and show us how to do things correctly! Teachers turn students into amazing doctors, plumbers, lawyers. To get any job you must have a teacher. How are you supposed to be a police officer if you had no teacher to teach you knowledge and skills fit for a superintendent? Exactly, so what makes a great teacher?

Firstly, if you want to be a teacher, you would have to go through at least 3 years in university to get your teaching degree. Becoming a teacher is building enough strength to go through with “annoying kids.”  To become a high school teacher you have to at least have a bachelor’s degree in a specialized subject or the subject you want to teach. Such as Physical Education, History, Mathematics and many more. You would also have to apply for a teaching position, as you wouldn’t want to get a teaching degree to not be able to teach in a school. So always make sure you contact a school during your journey.

Red thinking hat- Feelings

How Did I Feel While Reading?

So at the start of this book I was a bit confused on Why a Cat was on Dragon’s Door steps. Dragon let the Cat inside and decided to be the Cat’s owner I was fascinated that the Dragon decided to care for it. I had faith that Dragon would be a great owner But, he was a very terrible

Cat owner not knowing what to do. A Mail Mouse came to deliver something and I felt embarrassed for the Dragon after all it was very messy and the mouse did not like it and got told to get a litter box. But he grabbed a box and put litter inside of it I was upset because he took it too seriously. So the next day he decided to go to the Cat shop and learnt all about caring for cats I felt relived that he now understands on how to take care of a Cat Dragon Left But He Left the cat behind I felt sad For Cat Because he had to survive out in the cold but Dragon Notice that Cat is no longer with him. He rushes everywhere I felt heartbroken but there was a Meow! He heard. and he finds cat and a bunch of kitten’s I was gleeful that this was the ending.

✩!Making A Storybook With Gemini!✩

Greetings, I will tell you how me and my class made a storybook

So we have been instructed to go on a site called Gemini and we had to go get our writing and plop it into Gemini and we had to ask it to create a story book with what we have written. We waited for a few minutes and once it was done we had to download the story and put it in a google slide in our writing folder. I found my book quite funny with Inanimate ingredients helping the chef to make themselves into ice cream. The book is really cool and enjoyable.  This was  a really  cool  experience  making AI  Storybooks and I hope you could too! Thank you for reading my blog! Kasaina. Link for story

 

 

Swimming Time!!!!🌊🌊🌊

Kia Ora, Readers!

Today we went swimming. My class and some others were first to hop in the van It was very crowded! Finally we got there! I was already in my togs because I was prepared. My group only had 3 people because many of the others didn’t Want to go! My team were first up to the cliff I was terrified because it looked very little but once you get up there you will be frighten It was so high so I waited for the first two to go and as I saw them jump I gathered the courage to jump and it was FUN!! Sadly I failed to touch the bottom,  just inches away.

Then we were told to swap coaches. My group moved to the next lesson. We had to go in the lazy river and race each other I was zooming with the help of the push that the lazy river was doing! But then came the hard part, We had to go backwards. A friend became an enemy (The Pushing part in the lazy river.) I struggled trying to keep my balance because one wrong move would end with me going the wrong way.

(There was meant to be  another part but I couldn’t remember!)

Once again we had to swap lessons. This was our last one we had to jump off a smaller cliff as the other 2 made waves, then we’d have to pretend as if we were drowning. Then one of us had to grab a rope and throw it in the drowning person’s direction. Once we have done that we have to instruct them to lay on their back while holding the rope then pull them to safety, and grab their hands and wait for safety, then we would do it again but with different people.

We had finished all our lessons and it was time to get changed. I felt relieved that we had finished. I was super uneasy during changing though cause the others were too loud but I ignored them and got changed and rushed out the bathrooms. Then I waited with 2 others for the next van and that was what was going during our swimming day!(!Reminder that  this is day 1 out of 6 days so I will blog more about swimming!)

Dragons Fat Cat!

Black thinking hat- Judgement

The way feel about this book is quite weird. Before I read this book I thought it would be a simple story about a dragon struggling to take care of his pet cat but more stuff happened than just that. When I started reading it was what I thought it would be but the Dragon talks to the Mail Mouse and a Pig. and he learns all about how to look after a cat but he focused more the things a cat needs. I felt stunned to see that the Dragon forgot about his Cat. I felt sorry for the Dragon And Cat Because of that. But in The end I was delighted to see that the Cat was found and gave birth to five Kitten’s.

*!Sports Explosion!*

Greetings and salutations!
I will begin talking about what I have done on Wednesday this week! We had a really cool SPORTS DAY!!!! So, I will now begin discussing how this day went.
So…. The bell rang and everyone went to class, and when my class got to class, we had to pack up as if it was the end of the day…. It’s 8:50 am. But luckily, it was for a good reason that we were going to have sports!!! So we quickly got outside and prepared the field to make it look like a room full of sports! There was Ki O Rahi, Track running, Netball, Lape, Volleyball, and so much more. We had Track running first since our teacher, Peta, was running it. I wasn’t a big fan of it, though, because after that, my foot and back were sore. I really enjoyed Ki O Rahi. It was fun, especially with the new rules! I had a blast in Lape as well. I enjoyed getting to the 4 home bases, but for some reason THEY KEPT TACKLING ME WHEN IT WASN’T APART OF THE GAME!!! Volleyball was easy when we were practicing, but when we were competing, I wasn’t that good. Next, we learnt about rakau’s! We learnt about many things with the rakau, and the game we played with the rakau was very fun. We played Maui Matou. We had to grab the rakau from someone else, either to our left or right. Our last game to end off the day was Netball. Well, I didn’t really like Netball much as they never passed the ball to me. Although I found this day really joyful!
Kind regards, Kasaina!

~!!Thank You Pied Piper Cast!!~

Thank you guys so much for putting on a really amazing Play for our whole school! I cannot imagine how long it has taken you to complete this. I will now discuss the five people who stood out the most. Junior L., your acting skills have impressed me very much. I really liked what you have been saying, Poching. Poching, I was very interested in what you were saying as you were being loud and clear, Marion. You were very confident and patient waiting for others to finish their speech. But I cannot forget about Naomi and Shirley-Anne, who created such an incredible play.

Thank you.
