the maths that we had to do (beware, mine is VERY bad!!)

The maths that we had to do (beware, mine is VERY bad!!)

Today my class and I, had to share our maths to each other. Our goal was to make a poster or a 

screencastify about rounding to 1000. I do not like my one but here it is:


I know, it's kind of confusing. Dont read the pink part,   that part is really really confusing,   but you

know  what I  mean, right?? Anyways so we  had to do   a poster or a  screencastify, as you can see, I

chose the  poster! My  poster is worse than some  others  but that  is  because I  completely forgot so I
 
only  had like 10 minutes to do it. Oh  well, let's just forget  about  that.  I  honestly  dont  even  give.

Anyways, so as you know we  got to do a poster or a  screencastify, (I know, I have mentioned  that 1

to many times) my one is BY FAR the worst one, because mine wasn't very clear, I should of done a

screencastify to  demonstrate. But overall,  I think I did  decently good. Thanks  for reading my blog!

Questions:

have you ever done a screencastify? 

was my poster clear or easy to read?

how long did it take you to read my blog?

THANK YOU FOR READING MY BLOG! I APPRECIATE IT :)

my information report on toucans.

here is another thing about toucans. it is my information report. don't judge me, its bad...

Today I am going to be telling you some information about toucans. Toucans are very cool birds and there are about 40 different species of them. 

Have you ever wondered what toucans can do with such long beaks? It seems like they can't do anything because of its size. Well really they can. Here are 2 things that you should probably know about what toucans can do with their beaks: it's very useful as a feeding tool and they are also good to reach fruit from trees that are too small or too weak to support them. An average toucans beak is about 8 inches (20 cm).   

Have you looked in Central America or South America? Did you find any toucans? Because toucans actually live in Central America and South America! Anyways, what do toucans look like? Well they have nice black bodys and perfectly white throats but the most colourful part on their body is the beak! The beak is very colourful, it has lots of rainbows and very bright colours. Did you know that a toucan has a serrated beak? That means that it is jagged, easy to cut through fruit and it has an awesome grip! A toucan should be the height of 29 cm! The lightest a toucan is: 120 g! That species is the ‘lettered aracari toucan’. Quite the mouthful! Haha! There are 2 heavy toucans that weigh the same and those two are the yellow throated toucan and the white throated toucan. They both weigh 600 g! 

For a toucan, you can't just laze around and throw fruit at each other, you have to watch out for predators. Here are 5 predators that toucans have to watch out for: forest eagles, hawks, owls, boas and jaguars. 
What do toucans eat? Well a toucan eats stuff like: Fruit and insects but some species eat: small birds, snakes, lizards, other reptiles, and grill. You may be wondering where toucans eat. They eat at their home and feed their children. What is an average toucans favourite meal? The answer to that question is: fruit. They love fruit! I hope you do too! It is very healthy. 

Now it's time for some FUN FACTS! Did you know that toucans have narrow tongues. That means they can slide them into the fruit, grab seeds and then take them out! Toucans live up to 40 years! That's eleven years younger than my mother! She could have had a toucan as a pet and kept it till she turned 40! Did you know that in India they actually have toucans as pets!

As you can see the toucan is a very cool bird. Their beaks are very cool because of how long and colourful they are. There are many different species of toucan. Toucans don't like to fly.  They fly very short distances. If they do fly, they only fly from treetop to treetop. Can you imagine how long that would take?

if i had a family mascot it would be...

If I had a family mascot it would be... A DOG! 

Why would my family mascot be a dog?? Well my family mascot would be a dog because; we always need to eat, we are very active and sometimes we just want to go to sleep. We actually have a dog named Trevor. Here is a picture of him:
He is quite cute but really annoying and naughty, he is a bad dog but brings so much joy to our house!

Oh well anyways. So, the goal that I am working on is what my family mascot is. Here is link to my mascot google drawing. So I asked my mum if she liked the idea and she said she did. Hopefully you liked my extremely short blog post. 


Questions:
Do you have any pets, if so what kind?
If you had a mascot what would it be?

covid-19 lockdown

Hello, its me and today and I want to tell you how my lockdown is going so far. So we are currently in lockdown for covid-19. We are in alert level 4 and I am really scared of the virus. I only have three of my friends email so i can not email or FaceTime the other two. At my house it is really boring and all we can do is: walk our dog, play with our dog, take care of our dog, play on devices, watch TV, and play board games. There is nothing really to do other that the other stuff that I just listed. Oh! I almost forgot, we have another thing to do which is something that Elise and I do to make people happy, and that is: So we write down a list of 5, 10, 15, or 20 things for people to do, then we put them in mailboxes and wait for them to get it, once they get it they will have a list of stuff to do. Eventually when they are done they put it back in our mailbox for us to see. Here is a picture of one that was passed into somebody's mailbox who passed it back;
10 things to do at home
1. Go for a walk
2. Draw
3. Color in
4. Write a poem
5. Play tag
6. Have fun
7. Play dress ups
8. Do sports
9. Eat

School Fair Jolly Jars

Jolly Jars


This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.

Here is a link to my instructions.
I learnt that instructions need to be very specific or else people will not understand.

Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group did origami

I contributed to my group by writing down all the ideas and putting our jars out on the table and writing instructions for my group to read them.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because it mostly includes paper, we used heaps of paper and pencils and we were very creative with our DIY ideas.

What I learned about working with others was that you can get stuff done quicker and there are lots of ideas coming in.

How did we build community through our actions? We made cute things to do when you are bored, on a plane flight or even at home when you are sick. You can put them up on a windowsill, a dresser, blu tack them onto your door at home or just give them to a friend or family member.


QUESTIONS:

Has your school ever had a school fair?
Do you do PBL at your school?
