Solar Kiwi Book Review

We were learning about solar energy and solar power. Solar power is energy generated from the sun. People put solar panels on there roof to generate electricity for their house. I found it easy to find my favourite parts of the book. So do you know when you're learning something new that you like, you get really invested and interested? Well that happens with every book for me. I could be reading about nearly anything and I would enjoy it. I enjoyed learning about solar energy. It is so interesting that the sun can generate enough energy to power a house or two. I think that solar power could benefit so many lives. I mean yeah they are crazy expensive, but It could also save quite a lot of money for families in need.  I found it hard to make my way through the book. Sometimes with books I'm reading it takes me a little wile to get going, so instead of it taking me five minutes to read the book, it can take me ten minutes. I get lost in the words, and lose my place, but once I regain some balance... Im off. Next time I will try to use my other resources for research. I was only limiting myself to only the books I was assigned. But I also had the science learning hub (Link to the document about solar power below) that I read AFTER doing my follow up activities. I should of done it the other way round so I didn't have to continuously open the slide to add more info that I had learnt. So next time I will read ALL of the sites and books I had been given BEFORE doing my follow up activities.

This has been Toby and bye bye.

Kauri Group Collaborative Creture.

We were learning about working online in our co-operative groups, and all agreeing as a team. I found it easy to think of my mythical part of our creature. I thought that everyone would do dragon wings, and we thought having wings would be cool, so we chose angel wings instead.  I found it hard to even out the work to everyone. I was helping out everyone in the group with everything. I enjoyed having fun with my awesome group. we just work so well and decide on everything together. Next time I will be less helpful and focus on the task my group has given me.

This was made with Toby, Jade, Uma and Lilly.

Sunflower Environmental Poem

 Hello everyone! How has your New Year been? Mine has been great. First Post of 2021! Yay!

We were learning about sunflowers. I learnt that sunflowers follow the sun (hence the name). Mrs.Bava brought in a sunflower from her garden for us to feel and look at.   

I found it easy to do my brain storming. We always do a brainstorming before any writing, so the words are already in my head, or in my writing book next to me.

I found it challenging to 

Next time I will try to give my writing more descriptive words, and to personify it. To personify means to give something that doesn't have emotion or isn't alive, a human function. e.g The Trees Danced In The Wind.

Fixing code

We were learning about fixing code on scratch. I found it easy to make the person. I found it hard to share it to my blog. I really enjoyed making the person. Next time I need to not stress out. (This was made on october 29th 2019, I was still learning about blogger, just thought I would re-upload it!)

12 Days Of Kiwi Christmas.

We were learning about kiwi things we use, and do for christmas. This may include jandals, pavlova, barbeques and lots more.

I found it hard to agree with what we would include with our 12 things for christmas. 

I found it easy to find the perfect images from the explore tool to put on my slides.

Next time I will not argue with my group about our backgrounds.

What Does Christmas Mean To Me?

 I was learning about what the true meaning of christmas is to me. And I say its family.

I found it easy to write my letter to the Gisborne Herald, and to transfer my work to a colourful slide.

I found it hard to polyline my characters, and find the right images for the slide.

Next time I will use the explore tool for my images. I forgot. 

My Media Graphic

We were learning about what is real and what is fake, and how to tell if something is real or fake.

I found it easy to think of a famous person to do my quote on, so I chose the legend himself, Stan Lee.

I found it hard to find a good quote to use because there are so many, so I went with "Sooner Or Later, If A Man Is Ever To Be Worthy Of His Destiny, We Must Fill Our Hearts With Tolerance"

Next time I will try a bit more to blend the picture of my hero into the background a bit, so it looks a bit more real.
