Literacy tumble

Yesterday Te Waka Ako had an update on our crossover! The teachers gave us a sheet that had the time, day and reading and writing groups. We were already in groups before the update so we had to highlight the group that we were in. If our group was not on today or on the time then we had to do a Literacy Tumble! A Literacy Tumble is when the teachers don't have to see my reading and writing group and work on a slideshow that our teachers made for us. They also made a red, blue and green background. The red background means that we MUST get this work finished by Friday. The blue background means that we SHOULD finish this work by Friday. The last background is green. The green background means that we COULD finish this work. Something that I thought was going to be hard for me was finishing my MUST because I really wanted to do technology instead of finishing my slideshow on Friday. Something that was easy for me was doing my SHOULD because there were heaps of cool stuff that I
In Year 6's cyber smart time we got to play a game that will teach you how to be cyber smart and make sure you do the right choices at the right time. When I played the game I needed to think what choices I had to make if this happened in real life. Something that was hard for me was doing the tower of treasure map, because I had to collect all the passwords and other stuff that included cyber smart and also I had to try and dodge the hackers. Something that was easy from me was making the right passwords at the castle. It was the same map but it was really easy at the end because I had to create passwords to save the kingdom and the hackers tried to wreck my passwords. We then had to make a DLO about it interland!   https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en/interland  

Technology work

For the past few weeks we have been in different spaces for technology. Manukau have been in the blue space and the green space while Hauraki and Waitemata have been in the yellow space, blue space and the green space. Why we are doing this is because we have been learning about technology. Manukau (yellow space) is doing electrical circuits, What we had to do in the electrical circuits is making the hardest creations of making a light turn on and off just like a light bulb. Mr Riceman wanted us to be challenged by this. In the green space (Waitemata) had a challenge and it was called a marble challenge. What we had to do for the marble challenge was we had to build a bridge or something to keep the marble away from the table. ( we had to do this in groups of three ) But it could not be lower then the table. I think I failed the marble challenge. And last but not least the blue space! (Hoaraki) This was my favourite technology project of them all! We had to make a geoboard! Something t

Cyber smart blog comment

last term in cyber smart, the year sixes made a blog comment, but we had to pair up with  buddies and go on to each other's blog and to the latest one they have posted. Then after that we had to go on the cyber smart page in the senior syndicate site. We had to SMRF a document of rubrics on comment. Then we had to copy and paste our posted comment on a small box, then on the big box we had to copy and paste the same comment on the other box. And the whole point of posting the comment on two of the boxes is that the bigger box was about making changes to the blog comment. I had to switch around a coma and a full stop to make it make sense. And I also made a link to my address so my viewers can just click on the link when they see my comment. And I also made one last change to my comment. I also made one last change and that change was adding a question!
