Whitebait Media! There's no whitebait sorry :(

 

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking about Whitebait Media. It is a tv show company, they film shows like What Now.

Sorry, we asked, but there is no whitebait at Whitebait Media :(

Yesterday we visited Whitebait Media to do some singing, to record the song for our year 8 leavers video! How exciting! The five of us, Nikita, Grace, Abby, Maddie and me went.

It was an interesting experience!

Have you done recording before?

What does it feel like? Scary? Exciting? Relaxing? 

Which do you prefer, being filmed? or recorded by voice only?

Enjoy!

Puzzling over what to give as a gift to someone?

 

Hello Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog!

It feels like I haven't posted for while, probably because I haven't. So, sorry for the delay!

Today's blog is a homework blog.

This blog is all about choosing a gift that the receiver will  appreciate!

For me, I appreciate all my gifts, because all my gifts have really thought about. I think that it's important to think of how they would feel receiving the gift. I think that it's also important for the receiver to appreciate the gift as well.

What has been one of your favorite gifts? Why?

How do you choose gifts for others?

What do you think people appreciate about gifts?

Enjoy!

Thank you! (To who...?)

 

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog!

Today's blog post is another homework one.

It is about 'How to write a thank-you note'

I never really thought about this to deeply, mostly because I've never needed to write one (although I have received a few). I think it's mostly because I say my thank you verbally. So it was interesting to look into this a bit more.

Have you written a thank you note? What for?

Why would you write a thank you note? Who to?

When do you think you might use it?

Enjoy!

Everyone's a builder... somehow

 

Hey Viewers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking about our Cybersmart session with Miss Morgan. Today we learnt about what kind of internet media is fake and why it is fake. Then, we went to finding a quote (that is actually said by the person) and illustrate it. Here is the instructions for this on the Uru Manuka Site.

I chose a quote by Milton Berle, and American comedian and actor.

What do you think we need to look out for when looking at media?

What kind of tips can you give about images and text?

How can you find proof?

Enjoy!

Read. This. Sentence. Very. Slowly

 

Hello Viewers!

Welcome back to my blog!

How long did it take you to read that sentence?

Probably not that long right?

Reading fast is good, it's smooth and feels good.

But!

Reading slow is really good practice too. So today, for my homework, I chose to do how to read slowly. I think that this was a HUGE challenge for me, since my typical speed is 300 words per minute. Which is above average. So reading slowly for me is quite challenging. But, I also think that I need to be able to do it more often.

Are you a fast reader?

Do you like reading? Why?

Why do you think reading slowly helps?

Enjoy!

Let's write an article!

 

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking about one of our Cybersmart session with Miss Morgan, you can see what we did on the Uru Manuka site.

We had to make our own article about Athletics Day this year.

Creating an article is not too hard, you just have to make it engaging and have the key points. Headline, Date, Image or video and of course the article itself! I found it fun, but the hardest bit for me was actually writing the article itself.

Have you written an article before?

What did you write it about?

Where do you see articles? Do you read them?

Enjoy!

Where would we be shouting and cheering really loudly? At NYLD of course!

 

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking about NYLD.

I'm sorry this came out late.

A few weeks ago on Friday, we went to NYLD, National Young Leaders Day. The year 7 and 8's and a few year 6's attended fro the day at Horncastle Arena. We all really enjoyed it, and found it entertaining and a good learning experience. We played games, listened and did a fair amount of shouting and cheering.

Have you been to NYLD before?

If yes, what was your favorite part of going? If no, then would you like to go and why?

What do you know about being a leader?

Enjoy!
