Here below is my card that I have created, dedicated to the muslim communities and all the people in Christchurch.

Debugging algorithms👑♥

W.A.L.T be debuggers... With this, we are learning to debug algorithms. Bugs are a mistake in a programme. If we fix the bug, the programme will work.
Success criteria:

1. First you have to know where the bug is not.
2. Next, remove the bug, and fix the trouble it caused.
3. Lastly, change the algorithm to make it right.

Here below is my powerpoint about debugging and there are a few examples first and then it shows the bug problem that I created. There is a bug on the slide that I created! I hope you can find it and I hope you enjoy!!

Writing Results!!😍🤩🤪🤯

Today we got our writing results!🤩 I was stoked
as it explains in the piece of writing below. Also
here below is my writing goal. Enjoy !

Today, we got our writing results…. I was
overwhelmed and so very stoked with my
writing piece! These results were some of
the best results that I have ever received in
my school history. I was so happy with myself,
Believe it or not, I actually told my teacher that
I thought I didn't do very well. But the outcome
was ecstatic! My goal for Explanation writing, is
in the first paragraph were I state my subject, it is
to name the subject and then to explain more about
it straight away. My teacher, Whaea Mary explained
to me that if I explained my topic more in my intro,
I would have scored in the 50´s. I am above my
expected level. I am going to need to stay on the
same level until I finish school. To achieve this goal,
it is vital to me to be knowing all about the writing
features that are set for me. By doing this I will stay
on my same level and the only way to go for me is up
and achieving many more goals to come.

Complicating maths... Sike

W.A.L.T: add and subtract decimals using place value partitioning. Yesterday, I started on our new maths work. It was complicating at first, but when whaea gaylene explained the strategy, it became more easy and less complex. This is the start of my maths and I have nearly completed the rest as well. I hope you enjoy!

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little star.

Yesterday, during reading both of our clases had a task to complete. Our task was to rewrite a piece of writing the exact same way that it said on the paper. We also had to find all the mistakes and comment on the side with the correct answer. It took us about 15 minutes to complete the task and most of us got it all correct. One other task that we done was finding figuring out as much words as we could starting with the word star because the name of our reading was Twinkle, Twinkle, Little star. One last thing, All of the highlighted words are mistakes. I hope you enjoy!!

W.A.L.T: find, discuss and explain all punctuation.

              twinkle, twinkle, little stars

You may be suprised to learn that stars actually
never do no twinkling at all! When you look at a
star they are seeing them through the thick layers of air that make up the earths atmosfere. When the
stars light pases threw these layers of air, the light is
bent or ´refracted´ differently by each layer. This is
because of mosturre in the air as well as diffrently air
temperatures and the movement of the air. Together,
it make the starlight seem to be moving, witch we see
as twinkling.

What we done for Te reo today.

Today we have completed a Te reo task that introduced ourselves and said were we come from. We basically started from the beginning as in when we started tautoro school.Sheeandra and I have created different powerpoints. In the powerpoints, it has explained all the things that we have learnt today. Here below is the powerpoint that I created and also the screencastify recording.I hope you enjoy!

He Whakapounamu Kai

For the last few weeks, the year 8ś have been attending technology and we done some cooking and then we had to create something digital to present our process of the whole day. We also had to add some pictures and some questions and answer as well. Sheeandra and I were partners... Here below is our wonderful presentation! Enjoy.

Ki O Rahi training🏆🏁⚾

So this week even though it just started, We have been training up for our Ki O Rahi tournament next friday and it is coming our way extremely faster than what we thought. Yesterday, we were divided into groups of seven and we versed each and every team, there were four groups and the winning group got to verse the other teams waiting on the sideline. We placed first place, but we had a variety of very competitive teams that honestly new how to strategize and utilize their whole team. But yet again we done our best and strived to the end. We have been organised to train all week so that we are prepared for next friday. But of course there is always a catch to going to tournaments and our catch is that we have to be perfect this whole week. Which means we are not allowed to be sent to the pricipalś office, get sent to the white table, be on the teachers bad radar or not listening in general. We will have to strive and try our best to keep on track so that we do not get pulled out of the Ki O Rahi team. How can I do this?, I asked myself... Well my plan is to stay on the teachers ecstatic radar, consistently do my homework and just hope and hope that I get picked to represent Tautoro School at the Ki O rahi tournament, hosted at the Lindvart Park Kaikohe. Thank you for reading!

Coding work...

WE are learning about computational thinking. We have learnt how to write an algorithm to get a pirate to the treasure chest. We made our own coding programme and challenged a friend to solve it.
In order to be successful, I had to remember to make sure that my instructions were specific.
