Orana Wildlife Park Trip
Kia ora Everyone on Monday we went on a field trip to Orana Wildlife Park. We went there to learn about animals and some facts about the animals in the park, the animals that were in the park that we saw were a Turkey, Cockatoo, Peacock, Reptiles, Lions, Rhinos, Spider Monkeys, Bunnies, Ducks, Ostritchies, Gorillas and more.
We checked out a lot of animals in the park/zoo but my favorite animal that I saw there was the Giraffe. Giraffe feeding is a memorable moment that I will never forget. I was terrifed to feed the Giraffe's because I thougth it could bite my hand of if I tried to feed it but luckliy it didn't bite my hand since it actually doesn't have teeth at the top.
Here is a video of me and other students feeding a Giraffe's.
Did you know that a Giraffes tongue is purple

What is Scratch? Scratch is an online block-based programming language and an online community primarly at children. Users of the site cn create an online projects using a block-like interface. Users can create stories, games, animations. Users can also play other peoples games in Scratch that they made.
What is Sphero? Sphero is an American robotics and toy company based in Boulder, Colorado. Their first project is the Sphero. The Sphero is a white spherical robot launched in 2011 capable of rolling around areas under control of a smartphone or a tablet. A remastared version of the Sphero 2.0, was released in August 2013. The founders of the Sphero was Ian Bernstein and Adam Willson.
What do they both have in common? Scratch and sphero do have some common things that are the same. They both are a Programming commpany's and they both can be used in devices. They can both be used in programming.
Which "app " do you prefer to use? Why? I would prefer to use Sphero since it is in real life and it's pretty cool to see a robot moving around in your control.
Can you use that app to solve your problem? Not really since we don't really use robots in our school that much but maybe someday it will help you solve your problems like if your making a project using robots.

Maths DLO
Today I will be showing you how to use the spillting stratedgy using Mulitplication. it's kinda like using the columns stratedgy but different.
The splitting stratedgy is when we multiply numbers into 2 pairs nd then add the parts.
For example: 25 x 4 =
25 x 4 ===> 20 x 4 = 80 + 5 x 4 = 20
80 + 20
So, 25 x 4 = 100
1) first split 25 into 20 and 6.
2) then multiply each part of it.
3) Lastly add the annswers together.
For my first time doing this it was pretty hard since I didn't really understand it then I figured it out, using this stratedgy is easier to do hard muitplication equations.
Please give me feedback on what I should improve next time
Maths Challenge
Today we had to do a challenge and make story using math equations that we were given. We were teamed up in pairs and we had to answer eachothers question in their blog here is what we did.
1) Yuna has 72 piecies of candy and she will share all of her candy to 8 of her friends. How many will each of her friends will get?
2) Ginger the cat has 81 fishes ad is wanting to share all of his fish to 9 of his friends. How many will each of his friends get?
Recycle DLO
Today in CIP we were finishing some of our work from last week. This blog post is about recycling pens we find and giving them to Terracycle. we also had to answer some questions on what we are planning to do for this project. our group prepared a DLO for this project and answered some question on what we are going to do.
- How are we going to spread our message to the community? We will spread this project by doing some posters, include in notices, inform the parents by writing a letter or sending a message through emails.
-Who do you think will get involved? I think all of the students that are doing this project are gonna get involved in this and also our teachers and the people that participate in this.
- How many kgs do you predict we will collect? All students are encourage to bring their empty pens in their class and to have at least 3kgs per week so it will be $3.
- What should we do with the donation money we recieve from TerraCycle? The donation that we will have could be going to Kids Can charity and buy some stationery items.
Here is our DLO for this project.
I really enjoyed making this with my group and we got to finish our project at the end. Please give me feedback on what I should improve on my blogposts.
