Animation Slide Show

Today we worked with Mrs Minehan. She showed us how to make an animation on a slide show. I decided to use a picture of a lake, and a boat going over the top. 

Insect Statistic Report

                            Living Insects 

How many Living insects (including birds) are found from the letter box to the first Cabbage tree on
the bank? 

We are going to collect our Data on a Tally chart.

Living Insects	Tally	Frequency
Birds	11111	5
Worms	0	0
Ants	1	1
Spiders	0	0
Snail	111	3
other	1 (cockroach shell)	1

     

                      

Aimee and I found 5 Birds, 1 Ant , 0 Worms, 0 Spiders, 3 Snails, and 1 Cockroach shell. Next time we could've looked for the Insects on a sunny day as there could be more insects that would be surfacing.  The most common insect was a Bird because the Birds would have been eating the insects that lie on the ground.

Embedding Screencastify

Today we worked with Ms Minehan. We had to find a piece of work that we could screencastify and then put on our blogs. I decided to put a poem on my blog, I chose My Selfie Poem. We were learning how to embed a screencastify video and put it on our blogs. We are also learning how to make a quality blog post. I thought that embedding the screencastify was easier than downloading it.

Jake Bailey Recount

On Wednesday the 31st of July Jake Bailey came to Karoro school to
talk to rooms 7, 1, and 8, about his battle with cancer and the life lessons
he learnt. 

Jake Bailey came to Greymouth with the life education trust. Jake talked
about his battle with cancer. He had Burkitt's Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma,
which is the fastest growing cancer in the world, and he survived.
Then after telling the story about his battle with cancer he talked about the
life lessons he learned when going through cancer. He said that if you are
always resilient, kind respectful then you will know that you are a good person.
Then he said that you can fake being brave as long as you don’t show how
you feel on the inside and keep moving forward.

After he talked about being brave he talked about happiness.
Jake said that ‘happiness is a skill you have to learn’. He also talked about
worries. He said ‘don't worry about the small things in life focus on the bigger
issues’. As well as talking about the worries in life he also talked about the
fears he had before cancer and how he overcame them. 

His message to us was ‘we have a responsibility to live our lives not only for
us but for the children who can’t’. I think that Jake Bailey is an amazing person.
After his speech, it changed how I thought of worrying about the smaller things.
