Cook Island Art

Cook Island Tivaevae Art

To celebrate and acknowledge Cook Island Language Week, we did some Cook Island art for a Fun Friday activity.  We used stencils and folded paper to make these beautiful pieces and are looking forward to having them on display in our learning space.

Digital Ignition

Digital Ignition

Today we had our first session with Lyn from Digital Ignition Māpura Matihiko. We started learning about Binary Code.  

Beginning to learn about Binary Code.  

Binary code used to communicate with the robot.

Lyn tells the robot what to do.

Cute little guy.

Sussing out the code to spell out HELLO!

We are looking forward to our next session where we will work with iPads, robots and code.

Our challenge for the week is to see if we can spell out our names.

Tables Test

Time for Times Tables

Today I had a look to see how fast I could do my times tables.  I used Tables Test. Here is how I went:

This was pretty good but it was hard for me to find the actual answer even though I knew the answer quickly.

 Next step: I want to learn my 6x Tables so I am faster.

Week 3 Times tables

My Times tables So Far

This is an example of our blog posts to share our times tables progress.

Today I am doing my 2x tables using Timestable.co.nz

These are my results for each activity.

I used Timestables.co.nz to help learn my 2x tables.  

So far so good.

Yay! I received a diploma for knowing my 2x tables. 

I don't think I need to do any more 2x table learning because I got all of these right.  Next time I will do my 5x tables.
