Cybersmart

Hello and welcome back to my blog, 

For this blog I'm going to be talking to you about cybersmart. For cybersmart we have been learning about what a quality blog post and comment is. We have been learning this so we know the difference between a good and bad blog post and comment. We need to know this so when we post a blog or comment we know what's right to say and what's wrong. For our task we had to make a copy of a doc and complet what was on it. We had to do this task in pairs. My pair was Jorja. We had to read all the different comments that was on the doc than we needed to put a thumbs up or down next to the comment and than we had to say why we put it thumbs up or down there. 

Here is what we did,

Writing week 3

Hello and welcome back to my blog, 

For this weeks blog I"m going to talk to you about what I've been doing for writing this week. 

Out goal this week was: Understand the purposes for writing and how to achieve those purposes

Select and explore significant ideas, developing main points with specific detail. For our create task this week we had to pick a goal that was out of 4 different goals. For each different goal we had to pick one to write about. The four goals were, 1.No Poverty, 2.Zero Hunger, 3.Good health and well being and last but not least, 4. Quality Education. Once we picked a goal we had to find information about the subject we picked than we had to write down facts that we found out about. We had to include rhetorical questions in our writing. Rhetorical questions are when you asking a question but not expecting a answer.

Here is my writing.

Maths Week 2

Hello and welcome back to my blog, 

For this weeks blog I'll be talking to about Maths for this week. For this week for Maths we didn't do any workshops. Instead of doing workshops we did, Cantamath. Cantamaths is a maths race. You have a team and you have one runner. Everyone is in a team and we all have to sit in a circle. We all start off with one first question. After figuring out the question your runner in your team has to run around everyone to the ground to were the teachers are. The teachers hold the questions and have to answers to the questions. If you get it wrong you have to run back to where your team is sitting and try to figure it out again. If you get it right you get given another question and run back to figure it out. You do this until you answer as many question you can before we have to stop. If your stuck on one question you can skip the question and move on to the next one. After doing this race our hub year 7/8 have entered a competition. The competition is optional for us to enter of not. The competition is Cantamath. This is way different than the race. There are different categories that you can enter in. You have to make something that involves in the categories. Than after you make it you send it off to a competition. At the competition there will judges that will judge our creations and pick a 1st place 2nd place and 3rd place. over the years the year 7/8 we have placed a couple of times. The theme for this year is Maths in Entertainment.
