School Prizegiving

On Monday 6 of December our school had prize giving. I think this prize giving was one of the best 

prize givings  I have been to because I got my first prize and a few other prizes. As you can see in this picture me, my teacher and some of my classmates took a photo after prize giving. (I am the one with a huge book in the front if you didn't know)

In this picture me and some of my friends were chosen to be the year 8 prefects next year. When I went home and showed my family all of my prizes they were so proud and they were even prouder when I told them I was a prefect because I am the only one who got prefect in my whole family.

Coming back to school

I wore my mask to protect myself and others from getting covid, however, it wasn't big enough to hide the smile on my face while I was walking through the school gates and towards my classroom. 

As soon as I saw my friends and my teacher, I was filled with excitement and happiness. I looked around  my classroom and it felt like I hadn't been to school in a year. 

Yesterday was better than all of the days in lockdown combined because I got away from my siblings for a couple of hours and it felt nice to play with different people other than my family. 

While I was playing on the vortex with my friends I realized that my body felt sick after a few spins because I haven't been on it for months.   

Week 4 reflection

 My win for this week was getting to watch lots of movies because it was too hot to go outside and play. 

My greatest learning achievement this week was my hangi writing because I put a lot of effort into it and I have nearly finished it.  

I am super excited that we get to go back to school because I am sick of looking at a screen all day.

When I tell my parents that we are going back to school. My parents:

When I tell my siblings that we are going to school again

Cooking breakfast this morning with my class

Today some of my classmates, teacher and I cooked our selves some breakfast. As you can see in the picture I cooked scrambled eggs, ham and mushrooms. I made that much food because my family and I were going to eat it. I ate it with bread and avocados. Even though I was the first person to start cooking I finished last.  

Explanation writing for hangi

Here is an explanation about a hangi. There is only one paragraph because it is not finished and

because I just started on it but I am going to add one paragraph. If you are wondering what all of the other writings are they are just some bullet points and ideas. I have never tried hangi before but I think it tastes nice. My class and I did this because one of our teachers wanted one for her class to explain what a hangi is

 

Term 4 week 2 reflection

My win this week was getting to see my friends at their house and no I didn't go inside. We just had a BBQ and play two very loud games: Get rich quick and king of the jungle. We played these two games until somewhere around 10 or 11 at night. 

This week was challenging because I was still very tired. This meant for the first few days I was slow and sleepy in online calls and learning but I did really well not to show it. 

My goals next week are to sleep early and maybe drink some coffee to wake me up if I am still sleepy.

Wordle

This is a wordle about me and the BEST characteristics which make up my personality. I enjoyed making this wordle because it was a fun way to play with words and learn some new words about myself.

It is good to have a positive view of ourselves because if you're happy, then you are more likely to push yourself to do things which are fun or can be challenging. For example last week's Cybersmart challenge was very challenging but we all learned something new and how to cope if things don't go your way.

 

Term 4 week 1 reflection

I was so excited when I realized school was near but I was sad because it didn't start until Wednesday, but then I saw that the online meetings starts on Monday so then I started counting the days until Monday.    

I was excited because I could finally do something, it felt really good doing school again because for most of the holidays we just did nothing. The hardest thing was getting ready for it because I was still in holiday mode so I was very sleepy and tired. The thing I enjoyed was seeing my teacher and friends on the online meetings.

Niue posters

 

Today for Niue language week we made our own posters, as you can see I am

in like a kina of beach. The words at the top means  "Hello My name is Malachi" 

Cybersmart challenge 25: Attributing images

 

Welcome back to term 4. Today for home learning we did our cybersmart challenge.

If you don't know what an attribute is here are some ideas. 

A attribute is when you use someone else's images or work as part of your 

own presentations  

Attributing someone else’s work that we use is important. If

you do not attribute the original source, that means  

you are basically claiming the image or work as your own.   

Images which are free to use should still be attributed because it

shows that we have good manners.

If you are having trouble with finding pictures with the google search or explorer tool, type in

"wiki.media" or "wiki.commons" and then your search term. 

Wall of fame

Today for our school it is the last day for term three then holidays!!! Here is a

quick recap from term 3 we had to say like what were we grateful for and other

things on the slide.By the way I did not create the slide my teacher did and I only 

wrote on it and made some edits.

 

Cybersmart challenge 24 - Replying to a comment

 

Today I completed cybersmart challenge number 24. Today we learnt how to reply a 

comment on our blog and at the last task we had put a conversation we ourselves and someone else.

This is important to me because this task reminds me how I should reply to some online and

maybe face to face like in a actual conversation.      

Art : weave skin

If you are wondering what this is it this is art I made on a site called weave skin.

If you want to create some art like this here is the link. I got like 10 different pictures like this because

I spent hours making art.(it was so satisfying).

 

Reading home learning slide deck

 

This is my home learning slide deck. This is like my writing and maths slide deck

but for reading. This is my favourite slide because I like the way I have done

the layout and because three weeks worth of work is on this slide. (This is my 100th blog post)

Art

If you didn't know this is Captain america, Iron man and Thor but pixel art

version. I made this art a long time ago before the deadpool art if you still

remember that blog post. I remember that I made this in the night time and

I made art for hours. I made this before we went into lock down.

 

Writing slide deck

 

This is my term three home learning writing slide.This is like my maths slide but

only for writing.In here is school work or just normal writing.I think the best

writing I have done in this slide is How Maui Slowed the Sun because I put lots of effort. 

Cybersmart challenge 24:Scams and phishing

 

Today I did the cybersmart challenge about scams and phishing.I learnt

how to identify real scams and phishing.I loved this task because

we had to figure out if it was a scam or not, and because the front of

 slide made me laugh.

Maths learning slide

 

This slide is my maths learning slide.I am going to use this one

slide for the whole term and only for maths and I have other slides for other 

subjects like reading and writing.I think I started this maths slide two weeks ago so that

means I have only two weeks worth of work on this slide.It has lots of different maths activities

like kahoot, prototec, transum, and home learning.   

Fried chicken

On Tuesday my mum made some fried chicken.The fried chicken that my mum made

was the closest we could get to KFC, but to me it was better than KFC.There was

big and little chickens, I like the little chickens because it tasted like chicken nibbles.

If you are wondering what that bowl at the back is it is the batter for the chicken.
