MegaSpeed (Beta) 1&2!

 Learning - Blocks

Description: Kia ora today I was bored at home so I decided to make a scratch game called MegaSpeed. There are three level's so far. The reason I wasn't this good before is because I thought blocks were really hard to use, but yesterday I learnt that its really easy to use. One of the hardest things for me to use now is just the variable. You can play the game if you want. I made the game easy to beat on purpose because I wanted the lower levels to be easy so when someone reaches for explain lvl 5 I make the hardest level on earth to beat. The game is not finished yet so this is just the beta. If you want you can play the game and after that comment how I can improve on. Here is the link to the game. 

I deleted the game by accident 

Full game coming soon...

I made MegaSpeed 2 (Beta)

May have a few bugs in the game so comment if you find one.

There is three levels so far.

Equivalent Fractions

 WALT: write equivalent fractions.

Task Description: Kia ora, today at home I learnt about equivalent fractions. A little of the question were hard to do since I had no teacher to explain to me what a the numbers meant. But I did some research on google and tried to do my best! If I did do anything wrong please correct me. I defiantly think that fractions is the most confusing basic operation for me so far. I'd like to give this a try again at school. Hopefully next time I'm better than me now. Thanks, Please leave a positive comment on my blog!

Mars Information Report

By Rae Jae

Mars interesting facts 

Mars is such a fascinating planet because Mars has the biggest and most significant mountain in the solar system called olympus mons. Olympus Mons is 3 times bigger than Earth. Mars is almost inheritable by humans, that's because Mars is on the edge of the goldilocks zone. Overall, Mars is cold, its average global temperature is around -80 degrees Fahrenheit. It has a much thinner atmosphere than Earth.

Mars temperature

Mars does look hot but its temperature is actually very cold.The average temperature on Mars is minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit. In orbit, Mars is about 50 million miles farther away from the Sun than Earth.  Mars might reach 20 °C (293 K; 68 °F) at noon, at the equator, and a low of about −153 °C (120 K; −243 °F) at the tops and bottoms. 

Is Mars inhabitable yet? 

Mars is the closest planet we’re got to a backup planet. Reason is it's on the edge of the goldilocks zone. Mars isn’t too hot or too cold, This is one of the things needed for humans to survive. Mars needs terraforming (Terraforming means transforming mars to become a similar planet to earth) because if we did not have air we could not live.  Mars has systems of air, water, ice, and geology that all interact to produce the Martian environment, which is good because we do need the Atmosphere and hydrosphere. Mars is almost habitable for humans; we just need much more complex things. (Here’s a link further investigation) 

Conclusion

Mars looks hot because of its red and rusty colour but it's actually cold ( Don’t judge a book by its cover?). The planet is the closest to being habitable. What does this mean for us? We could have an extra backup planet for humans to live on. Mars is an interesting planet so have a go at learning more about Mars because someday it might be habitable!

The four spheres

 

Task Description: Hello today I learnt about the four spheres which contain Geosphere, Biosphere, Atmosphere,  Hydrosphere. I learnt a lot about the sphere last year so I was a expert. I'd like to learn more in the furture.

I didn't have enough to write a better Description because I had to go home so I rushed

Fresh Fractions 1

 WALT: We are learning to find fractions of a whole and set. We are learning to add and subtract fractions with different denominators.

Task Description: Hello today I learnt more about Fractions! I hard some trouble with some of them but I got through it. The hardest section was the ending section. One of the things that helped me the most with this task was concentration because I needed to focus on each separate question. I enjoyed doing this and I'm gonna be doing more recaps in the future.     

Fresh Fractions 2

 

Task Description: Hello today I did some fractions, Fractions are really confusing for me thats why I got most of the questions wrong. I did learn a lot but I'll learn more soon. Hopefully I can improve. Have a good day! 

BeepBox Creation!

 

Description: This project I have been working on took 1 hour and  30 mins.

The ending part took the most because I really tried my best. I really like creating this beepbox. I probably had to listen to the song about 15 times to see if it was good. I couldn't make it sound any better I don't know why. Have a good day!

I'm working on a really good one It might come in 1 or 2 weeks!

Also this is my 600th post yay!

Maths Olympics!!!

 

Task Description: Hello, Today me and my maths class did a maths tournament type of thing. You had to figure out the answers to the maths questions, Every answer you get you also get points. I think my group which had Myself, Aaron, Nina, Valessa and Kiarah won ( The reason I think my group won is because I got sick and went home but before I went home I check the leader board and we were 200 points ahead everyone, 200 is a lot of points )  . In the question above me we had to figure out a answer that had no numbers that the question had. My friend Aaron solved it. In this maths session we had to cooperate and use active listening. Please leave a positive comment and stay positive!

BeepBox Creations!

 

Description: Hello today I was sick so I decided to create some music. It took me about 30 minutes to created all of these music above me. You can have a listen to it if you want, or when your done listening please tell me what I can improve on. I created all of these on BeepBox.co. You could try creating music yourself if you'd like. I had a lot of fun creating all of the different songs. I had a few problems but manage to fix them all using time. I can continue creating these little doodle's if you want. Please leave a positive comment and have a good day/night!   

If the music is lagging then use these links: BeepBox 1  BeepBox 2 BeepBox 3

Also take a look at my friends Kauri and Austin

Have a go!

Fractions Recap

 

Task Description: Today me and my class did a fraction recap. I forgot most of the things because last time I did fraction were 1 and a half years ago. We used a lot of think because we did not know what a improper was. I learnt how fractions are similar to decimals. I also worked with my friend Bradley. One of the things that made me confused was the improper. Have a good day!

Sideways Stories From Wayside School (SSFWS) Prediction (Home learning)

 Sideways Stories From Wayside School (SSFWS) Prediction

Book by Louis Sachar 

Hello I’m reading this book called Sideways Stories From Wayside School and im am going to make a prediction of what will happen next ( It's very obvious ). Sideways Stories From Wayside School is just a weird school that was supposed to be built horizontally, but  it was built vertically. I'm up to chapter 10 which is Paul. The book explains all the weird characters. It’s really good. I can’t really make a prediction because it's just explaining all the characters. I think that paul is gonna be really weird and loud.

Immersion Assembly!

Term 2 Immersion Assembly!

Today me and team 5 got ready for immersion. How did we get ready? Mrs Tele’a told us that team 1 teachers are gonna be targeting the little aged audience members rather than the team 5 students, they will be trying to make team 1 laugh not us. After that we got in Boy girl lines and walked to assembly.

Mr Burt explained that this term team five is going to be learning about the galaxy. We might be learning a lot of facts about planets temperatures or the all of the planets. I hope we have fun!

Then we watched the teachers act/movies. They were all great but I think that team 5 won for sure ( not because i’m part of team five) . The reason is because they were embarrassing themselves and at the same time they acted. They had a really good idea, All of the teachers were on a magic school bus. And the Magic School Bus was a teleporter that teleported around the galaxy. My favorite teacher that acted is Mrs Tele
’a. When the planet was hot she rolled up her sleeves and acted hot, And when it was cold she had a scarf and sang the ice song.

All of the teams did this : Team 1 - where does the sun go at night? Team 2 - the earth, the sun and the moon, Team 3 -Rona and the moon Team 4 - the 4 earth systems, Team 5 - on the magic school bus, travelling between planets. This year's term 2 is probably one of the best Immersion Assembly so far.
