Statistical Investigation

This is a Google Presentation of my statistical Investigation with my buddy Rebekah. We did a statistical Investigation with room 7. We followed a statistical process to help us complete our Investigation successfully. 

Netbooks Reflect

WALT reflect on our journey with netbooks this year.

      Netbook Reflect

This year I have learned to use Google presentation, Document, Spreadsheet and many things.Working online and publishing  our work on our blog, using tux paint to draw and post online and using popplet to brainstorm our work and writing creatively. I learned how to use a spreadsheet, a spreadsheet is use only like a tally chart it also used with lots of other chart. A document is used like you write a story and if you have a internet at home you can write your homework on it. I can create a lucidchart, drawing, spreadsheet, wordle and a popplet. We share our work and knowledge with our teachers and buddies everyday.

Sometime when we go on our netbooks the Internet goes slow, even when we try to open our document, spreadsheet, drawing and our presentation it didn’t show up on the screen. Also when we try to get on popplet to brainstorm our work and  post it on our blog it stills didn’t show up. When our Internet goes slow we sometime restart it or press ctrl R to reload.

I find out something interesting was that how to use a popplet, how to type fast, how to chat to people in our classroom, how to use a spreadsheet, how to change our password and publishing our work on our blog. Also we learned how to use a wordle, a wordle is like you have to type your topic words that you are learning about this year. But we only have to write 7 or 5 because if you write 7 time it will go big. I learned how to use some learning games they were easy to play but some of them were hard.

This year I learned lots of things about netbook and its only use as a learning tools. Next year I wish we still have them next year. Before it was hard to work on our books because we have to write too much and make up a story.

Scary Halloween Night

Scary Halloween Night

It was a hot sunny day and there were two kids playing outside,Tiere and Willy, and they were playing tiggy. They lived in a house that was next to a graveyard and their house was haunted but they didn’t mind at all . Tiere looked like a star. She had eyes the colour of the ocean and had brown hair that swayed in the fresh air and she always wore a hibiscus flower in her hair. Willy on the other hand, had green eyes and black hair that always sparkled in the sun. He is trendy with the way he dresses as he like to wear hats that go with his outfits.

Then one day Tiere shouted, “ It’s halloween so we can go out to see the graveyard!”  So they went inside to get their costumes on. Tiere dressed up like a angel and Willy dressed up like a zombie. When they had finished dressing, they got their pumpkins and headed out to the graveyard. They did not know that every night two ghosts would come out of their  grave. When Tiere and Willy reached the graveyard they heard a loud “BOO!” Tiere nor Willy noticed  but took no notice of what was going to happen. Then suddenly, two ghosts came out of their graves and gave the two kids a tremendous fright as if they had never seen a ghost before. The kids were so frightened that they screamed “Arrrgh!” The ghost chased the kids round and round and round until  they were exhausted. Tiere said “I will not give up so we are going to fight back!”. So they did with speed and skill. The ghosts did not know what they were doing until  it was too late. Willy and Tiere were too fast and too quick. They cowardly went back to their graves and never came out again.
Tiere and Willy were so happy that they went off to go trick or treating.

When they had come home the ghosts were still in their grave and the kids never saw them again. Tiere, Willy and their family moved house and they had a wonderful life together.

And never again did Tiere and Willy go out to a grave at night ever again.

The boy who ate the worm

One summers day in a little village in Tonga, where the sun always set, there was a little boy named Sam.Sam loves apples!! He liked them raw, cooked and even skinned. He used to like to go to the shops with his mum to buy fruit. Sam likes his his mum but sometimes not his dad doesn't take him shopping and never takes him to the park.

One morning Sam decided to take a walk in the park. As Sam went past an apple tree, he picked one. He picked the juiciest, reddest one he could see. He opened his mouth wide and took a humongous bite from this delicious apple. As Sam took and was starting to swallow the juiciest, reddest apple he had ever seen, he looked down and to his absolute horror , there was a small slimy slug like thing starting back at him. Sam couldn't believe it!! He was absolutely disgusted! He quickly spat out all of the apple, threw the rest of it on the ground and ran all the way home. Sam was terrified of  slimy sludgy looking things.

When Sam went home he told his dad about the worm. He told his dad that he ate the worm. When Sam's
Dad looked at him, he started to laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.His dad said while he was laughing, "That will teach you not to take things that don't belong to you Sam!"
