Room 7, 8 and 9's Where were you born map

Today for Cybersmart we did a map with room 9 and 7 on where we were born. Take a look at my map, my questions and my answers.

How far have some students travelled in their lifetime to reach WPS?
8,881km
17.5Km
2,703Km
 !,842Km
 Why do people make the choice to move to different countries?

• Start a new chapter to their life
• To get a job
• Stay and see their relatives
• Travel the world one by one
• Explore and experience other countries

 Is this a trend in NZ society? What does the media tell us?
Yes in different parts of NZ. I think it's a trend because when I go out with my family I see heaps of different people from lot's of different countries. They don't all have the same skin colour and that is not a bad thing at all.

This is an amazing video about people judging other people about their skin colour and how they look. Definitely watch this and comment about what you think and what you feel about this video.Listen carefully. Click on The Lie. This might even make you cry.

The Lie from Untitled Productions on Vimeo.

This made me feel sad because people are saying bad things and judging people. I believe  that  we should stop every single lie. This has never happened to me before but I think I know what it feels like to be judged and it's not good at all. This nearly made me cry.

Today in cybersmart room 8 had to create a map of where they were born. Then we chose a relative and wrote were they were born. Take a look at y map and be sure to comment.

Mean social-media scenario's / cybersmart

Today in cybersmart we have been talking about mean scenario's around social-media that might happen in real life. My scenario was about Facebook because I had a really good idea. Read on and please leave comment about what you would do in this case.

What I would do is:

-Report the person
-Tell my parents because I can trust them.
-Delete my account and make another one with a different password.

Glamorous Gymnastics

 Gymnastics 

This term over the past 8 weeks, every Wednesday we do gymnastics in the school hall. We had two coaches one boy named Kane and one girl named Kylie. We even had a guest coach called Teddy. Room 8 learned 7 different skills and technique about gymnastics. My favourite part was everything.

These are the things that we learned:

Statics:Staying still or keeping your balance.


Landing:Landing safely in a motorbike.

Swing and spring: The playground is swing because it has monkey bars. A spring board is spring because you can jump on it.

Rotation: When you do a half turn and full turn.

Locomotion: Moving around in different ways.

Manipulation: Moving things with your body.

The Art Festival

Last week our school had an art festival. Every one in the school had a piece of art to present. Our class made photo joiners to present with QR codes at the bottom. The QR codes linked to this presentation at the bottom for everyone to see how we made our joiners both physical and digital. The other presentation is about David Hockney. David Hockney is the person who inspired us. We also did some re-search on his art work. Check out my presentations. I would love to see lots of comments on my blog. Thanks for reading! BYE

Week 4 Cybersmart Improving a comment

Today in cybersmart our goal was to change an okay blog comment and make it an outstanding one. We copied the comment and pasted it into a google drawing and started to change it. There were lots of options but I chose this one because I thought I could make it better. We looked back at our learning padlet from last week that was all about what makes a great blog comment and saw what people had and what they missed. This is the average comment and my comment above. I think this activity was helpful because now I know what is a good comment and an amazing comment and if I see a comment like this on my blog I can tell them how to make it better.
Feel free to leave a comment!
