The turtle and the shark

 
This is the slideshow that my partner Joey and I made. This slideshow is on a legend called the Turtle and the Shark It is mainly about 2 women whose family is running out of food so they get to work and make it themselves. Shortly after they find a new island and the owner even decided to let them live under the ocean in the form of a Turtle and a Shark. 

Prodigy

Not that long ago we started this new online maths game called Prodigy. Here's 

a basic summary of the game: it's basically Pokemon but you have to answer 

maths questions to use your special moves in battles. Playing this game is a real challenge and anyone who plays it is guaranteed to learn a thing or two.  I like it because I have learned more about symmetry and fractions.

Chess tournament

last week on Wednesday Me and a whole group of chess players went to represent our school at the Auckland chess championship. I guess that we all got cocky especially after the first round where all of us won our games. But as the day goes on I managed to lose 2 games in a row. For me all hope was lost until the 4th round where I managed to power through and win a short while later I was on a winning streak. Everything changed our team ended up coming 3rd and individually for my board I somehow ended up coming second. Even though I wasn't at school to learn I learned one thing and that was teamwork.

Maths Poster

This is the maths poster that my friend Nathaniel and I made together. It is all about addition so instead of just simply giving you math questions straight, we used some vocabulary and we made some rather challenging math questions to give the students in Room 8 a nice challenge for their minds.
I enjoyed this because I taught myself some new things about addition vocabulary.

Mary Mackillop

This is the painting I created by myself for the feast of St Mary Mackillop. She is the founder of our school and a person who will be remembered in the history of Good Shepherd . She was born on the 15th of January 1842 and she lived a happy long life. Sadly she passed away on the 8th of August 1909 in North Sydney Australia. From just this simple painting I learned so much about her and her life. She was really an amazing woman. R.I.P Mary Mackillop.

Animal classification

Today we learnt about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates (which means they have a spine) or invertebrates (which don't have a spine).

Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects and octopus. Vertebrates are put into five groups. They are mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and amphibians. Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are cold blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breathe through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins.



5 examples of each type:

Mammals: dog, cat, human, seal, walrus

Birds: peacock, sparrow, raven, pigeon, kiwi

Fish: gold fish, tuna, snapper, shark, sea horse

Reptiles: chameleon, crocodile, alligator, snake, turtle

Amphibians: newt, frog, toad, salamander, caecilian

Math Poster

This is my math's poster that I have worked on.
It has taken me a while to create this poster. So if you are wondering the process I had to go through to make this poster then let me tell you.
First I complete the worksheet for this subject.
Then I analyse the data and put it on a poster. From making this poster I have learnt how to add and subtract 6 digit numbers.
