For today’s cybersmart challenge we learnt some strategies to help us know what to do when things go wrong online.
Today for cybersmart we had a new challenge (Email Etiquette).
We had to write an email to the Manaiakalani Team about our favourite cybersmart challenge and why I enjoyed it. Now I know how to send positive and more info in my emails, one tip is: Always be polite in your emails.
One day long ago a fox was walking mysteriously in a forest while searching for food. He came across a tree that had vines of grapes that looked ready to burst out with juice and sweetness so he thought to himself that he shall get those grapes no matter what.
He leaped for the grapes feeling very confidently but he missed by a long shot. It took him down a bit that he couldn’t get the grapes so he wanted to take his shot at attempting a different technique and that surely he’d be able to claim his prize by doing so. He stepped back a bit more than his first Attempt and ran towards the tree to leap his highest but once again he missed.
He then gave up and said to himself that those grapes are probably sour and not worth using up my energy.
People that want something but can’t achieve or accomplish tend to say negative things to themselves like the fox did.
For reading I had to make a recount of a fable called the fox and the grapes. While I was reading the story I saw some words that I was unsure of what the definition was so I went on wordhippo.
Google meet Etiquette taught me to be respectful to others and to do the right thing during a meeting. I chose these three people because Mr beast is skibidi, Jamal is in prison & Ronaldo Jr’s dad is the goat.
Summarise a Story
Title: The Dog and it’s reflection
Author:
Read the text and record key words/phrases that answer these questions:
| Who?
The Butcher and the dog |
| What?
The butcher gave the dog a bone and then rushed off happily. |
| When? During one evening |
| Where? At the butcher, at the narrow footbridge and near the river |
| Why? He dropped his bone because he saw his reflection and mistook it for another dog with a bigger bone |
| How? It is very foolish to be greedy |
Summarise the text in 25 words:
| The | dog | saw | his | own |
| reflection | with | a | bigger | bone |
| So | he | dropped | his | bone, |
| jumped | in | the | river | and |
| realised | he | lost | his | bone. |
In reading we were summarizing the main ideas and exploring more about the Moral.
The Moral was “It is foolish to be greedy” The meaning : If your greedy you could lose everything you already had
For inquiry we had to choose our favourite torch from our Olympic torch timeline slides. I chose the Rio De Janeiro torch because of it’s facts & meanings, if you want to look at other torches from the olympics timeline click on the link above that is in bold letters.
My Boring weekend
Last weekend I had 3 days off because there was a public holiday on friday.
During the long holiday all I did was stay in bed and rest because I had sprained my ankle on Thursday while playing soccer. On Friday I just stayed in bed, watched tv and went to sleep early. On Saturday I played some games on my phone and I played for less than an hour cause I fell asleep. On Sunday I didn’t do anything and slept all day. I didn’t go to school the next day cause I needed one more day to rest my ankle but I did go to the doctors to see if it was alright for me to go school the next day and I did not enjoy staying home all weekend.
This is my Matariki Pixel art that I made on Google sheets. I tried to make my stars look detailed with some lighter colours, so that it would give them a glow, although I was making it in Pixels. While making this art piece I did come across a problem, the problem was that white gaps were appearing in between my background and stars so I restarted and pasted the parts that didn’t have a problem and remade my stars.
