Stop motion animation

 Today's reading task is making a stop motion. I try to aim for a 10-40 second animation but mine is only 10 sec. I use a new animating tool to make my stop motion which is called "stop motion animator" on chrome. Below is my animation (I tried recording sound so it makes sense)

This was one of my favourite tasks, animating is fun and im happy to experience it.

What did you think I could do to improve on it? should I have made it longer or should I add more characters?

 Today for maths I have been learning about fractions, decimals, and percentages. I learn how to convert fractions into percentages and percentages into fractions.

1000 piece puzzle finished!

 Yesterday on Sunday I finished the puzzle which took about a month. My siblings helped too but I did most of it. It was a second handed puzzle so that's why we are missing a few pieces, but maybe I lost some puzzle pieces.

Homemade bird feeder

 Today's task was to create a bird feeder made out of recycled materials, I have token pictures of the process  to show you how to make this easy bird feeder.

First I used scissors to cut an area of the egg cartoon.

Next, I used a hole puncher to make holes in the sides.

After, I cut two even pieces of string that will go in the holes.

Here is a video showing me putting the string in the holes.

Story writing - If my toys came alive

 Today's task was to use all that we learned and create a story with the idea, "if your toys came alive" and so I used descriptive writing and paragraphs to create my story.

This was a great learning and creating experience, which I enjoyed because I get to learn and experience different types of writing. 

Tonga language week - Classroom

 This week is Tonga language week, and my task for today was to learn about a category on how to say it in Tongan. 

I choose classroom, and I have learnt some interesting things about Tonga like how it is also called the "Friendly island."

It is also a bit different to New Zealand as in Tonga they have a lot of traditions and celebrations while New Zealand doesn't.

Reading - Does the point of view matter?

 This task is all about perspective, and how different perspectives can change how you look at a character.

In this slide, I show and explain why perspectives matter in stories.

I like this task because it shows me that not every bad character my actually be bad and that everything my not be as it seems.

What do you think? After reading my slide, do you think perspectives matter or not?

Father's Day

 Today I made a card for my father for father's day, I write a short paragraph about how much he means to me, and drew a picture of him and me.

Fitness routine

 One of my class tasks was to design a fitness routine, which included a warm up and a cool down. This was so my class could get away from their chrome books and have a break.

Lockdown Meme

 Today's task was to write a comparison between in lock down and out of lock down. We also did a meme which you can find below in the slides.

The in lock down meme represents that I fight with my siblings for the computer to play games on, and the out of lock down is where I get to see my class mates and do collaborating activities.
