1. What did you think of softball as an action station?

Well in my opinion I think it was really good that we got the option to play softball.

2.  What did you learn/do in this action station?

I learnt how to run around the bases and catch the ball as I have never played softball before.

3. Did you enjoy/not enjoy it? Why?

I thought it was pretty fun.

4. What did you find challenging?

What I found challenging was when I had to run around the base as fast as I could it made me feel a bit nervous.

5.  What was your favourite part?

My favourite part of softball was when I was in the field and we had to try and catch the ball.

6. Would you choose it again if this was put forward next term?

I’m not to sure.

 

This term we have been learning about persuasive writing and what it means. Persuasive writing is a type of writing that it means to persuade you into doing or buying things. Example a lot of company’s use persuasive writing so more costumers will visit their environment.

So in this post I will have a rhetorical question, a simile, and I will use persuasive writing. Here is my take on it.

Most skills use so much technology, especially to do writing. Does it hurt your eyes when you stare at a screen? I think that schools should use less because, always being on a device is not going to increase your fine motor skills, writing on a computer will make it so you don’t practice handwriting and people get enough screen time at home and if you’re handwriting isn’t clear no one will be able to read it!!!

Constantly writing on a computer is not going to improve your handwriting. However when you write in your book you will be improving your handwriting to make it look neat and professional. Don’t you want to be able to write nice and clear?

Writing in a book will be better for your brain and your fine motor skills, when you’re just typing on a Chromebook your hands only lightly glide across the keyboard! And when you write with a pencil your hand will be tightened and strong and you will be moving your wrist and strengthening it.

At home you get enough screen time and you are damaging your eyes staring at a screen. You need to make sure your eyes are nice and healthy and if  you are always on a screen your eyes will get blurrier and blurrier.

Using technology every day is as bad as binge eating candy!!

So no more technology!!

 

My Spencer Park Camp Goals

My first goal for the camp is to bike 8 km this will be a HUGE challenge for me because when I bike I don’t bike for a long time I only bike small distances.

My second goal is to successfully put up the tent, I think me and my group will be able to if we use teamwork.

My third goal is to be able to cook a delicious dinner with me and my group, we are going to cook noodles and eggs.

My last goal is to make sure I pick up after myself and I make sure I keep the environment tidy.

Thanks for reading.

I made a kahoot question about how much do Pūkekos weigh and the answers were

100-500g

880-1090g

750-920g

100-2500g

Comment what one you think it is.

This is my square I made on scratch. I used some codes to program my sprite. I used rotations and movements to make my bot draw a square.

This is my circle that I made on scratch. I used some codes to program this sprite mostly rotations and movement. This was harder than my square.

This is my hourglass that I made. it was really hard to make because I had to copy it off my math site and I didn’t know what it would make. This was the hardest by far. I also made a little mistake where I coded this on the cat not the beetle and if i tried to change it my whole code would delete.
