Let's start super, duper, extremely, small...

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking about a really cool man called James Clear.

More information of him will be in the slide.

I will be talking about one of the few tips about making habits and keeping them that James Clear has found out about and made it so we can understand it easier. The tip that I have chosen is to 'start incredibly small'

Do you have some habits? Are they useful?

Is it hard for you to start a habit?

What kind of habit would you like to develop?

Enjoy!

Quality comments are key!

Hello Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be explaining about what we did with Miss Morgan for our Cybersmart activity. For the last two sessions we have been working on quality comments. Firstly, you had to choose whether you were in the beginner, stepping up, or confident group, I went to the confident group. Then, out of the people in your group, choose 2 to 4 people to partner with. I worked with Abby and Grace, here are Abby and Grace's blogs. Here is the instructions on the Uru Mānuka site.

Overall, I thought that this was an engaging activity, although, I honestly though that it was mostly reviewing things that I already knew or have done. I did learn a few things here and there but they were most likely things that I have forgotten.

What do you know about writing quality blog comments?

Do you write comments on people's blogs?

What do you enjoy about writing comments?

Here is one of the comments we improved together.

Nine Stars of Matariki

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking about Matariki, this activity was called The Nine Stars Of Matariki.

We had to draw inside the star what each of the nine stars represent, or what we think represents. Each star has a different name and a different meaning to it.

I didn't know that all the stars had meanings. It was interesting to try to explain what the star means using a visual reference and no words, I had to think about how to represent them.

Have you heard of any of the meaning of the stars?
Do you know the names of them?

What do you think you might draw in some of the stars?

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking about a Marshmallow challenge we did.

We had some certain tools and stuff that we could use to create a tower. I will explain this in the slide. 

Have you done a marshmallow challenge before?

Was it the same one or maybe the rules were slightly different?

What do you think you would've done?

Enjoy!

-7.2 Degrees!? Wow, that's cold...

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

It's the holidays now and so I am doing the Winter Learning Journey (WLJ), although this time, the teachers will not be counting up points so this is merely for some fun over the holidays.

Basically, the Winter Learning Journey is something that you can do over the holidays, there are a set of activities that you can complete, they include Math, Writing and Reading and a spark of creativity.

The activity I chose today from this matrix was...

Which the answer to that is -7.2 degrees, hence the title.

I am sorry that this took so long to make! But I am truly pleased with the results.

Next time, I could probably try to add in some more description and different ways to order the words in my sentences.

Do you think -7.2 degrees is cold?

What do you think you might wear if it was that cold?

Do you like winter?
