Summer Learning Journey

Today in Cybersmart we are doing another Summer Learning Journey activity. A few weeks back in Cybersmart, I have made a blog post about me leaving to England, so today I will be searching up what is like in England school. 

In England school, some children would rather be home schooled instead of going to public school. Children's education in England is normally divided in to two separate stages. They begin with primary at age to five and lasts until age eleven. England school starts normally around 8:30 - 9am and then around 3-4pm ends. 

England school celebrates new years day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, early may, spring bank holiday, summer bank holiday and Christmas holiday. 

The England school names: Slough girls leadership academy, Spalding Bilingaul free school, St Mary's Church of England Primary School and Steiner Academy Bristol.   

Summer learning journey

Today for the Summer Learning Journey, curious kiwi and I were leaving on a trip to England and curious kiwi forgot his book. So I think this kiwi should go and read dairy of the wimpy kid (ugly truth). This would be great for curious kiwi because it has drawings/pictures to look at.

Through out this term I have been reading this book called the Diary of the Wimpy kid (ugly truth). The book was interesting and also had funny parts in there. It was about a boy named Greg Heffley who had a big fight with his ex best friend Rowley Jefferson. 

I loved reading this book and I think you will enjoy it when you read it. I haven't read all of it yet but I love how the story was written. 

 

The author of the book is Jeff Kinney.


The characters in the story:
Main - Greg Heffley
Brother - Rodrick Heffley
Mum - Susan Heffley
Great grandmother- Gammie
Ex best friend - Rowley Jefferson

I love this book because it looks like a comic, and I like comics. It has cool different kind of pictures and some parts of the story is funny and interesting. It is a book that I would recommend to read.   

Reflection - Cybersmart

Today in Cybersmart I will be reflecting on my Cybersmart journey. My teacher Miss Morgan has asked us to do a reflection about what we have been doing for the past terms in Cybersmart.

In term one we started on smart learner. We had four lessons and they are how to look after our Chromebooks, How to create a unique and strong password for your google account, what are the short cuts/which shortcut are the most effective and who owns the images online. We also had to create a DLO explaining what it means and what you have to put in it. DLO stands for digital learning object.

In term two we did a Smart footprint. We learnt how to find out information about someone else, Private information, How to vlog, Who is social media for, Steps to make a quality blog post and what is a purpose of a blog post.   

Term three we learnt about our smart relationships. Lesson 1 blog comment sentence starters. Lesson 2 we are learning to reply to blog comments. Lesson 3 tips on how to be positive, power of words, dealing with haters and trolls and color your world with kindness.

Term four we are being smart users. For the first few weeks we done the research challenge. Then we moved onto scratch coding and that was a game of drawing and coding. For the last few weeks, we have learnt about the summer learning journey.

My favourite part about Cybersmart was learning all the different things about being safe online/social media and doing so many blog posts.

My favourite thing about Cybersmart this year was that we got to make so many blog posts and getting to work in groups with our friends.

What I didn't enjoy about Cybersmart was that we didn't have a amount of time to finish our work/blog posts and staying in for lunch until we do what we have to do.

What my Cybersmart teacher did well on giving us fun work to do and explaining on what we have to do.

What I think my teacher could do better at is give enough time to finish our work and make a descent blog post.

Summer learning journey - Cybersmart

Talofa my name is Anneleise and I am a year 7 and I attend in Hornby High School. My culture is Samoan and part Chinese. Next year I will become a year 8 and I am kind of looking forward. I love to play my favourite sports with my friends and that is Netball and sometimes Volleyball. I would love to try out for a netball club or a volleyball club because I am very good at both sports.

 

I will be committed to do the summer learning journey activities during the school holidays and sometimes in my free time. I will try my best to get points and win a prize. If I won a prize at the summer learning journey, I would pick a Bluetooth speaker for myself.

The search bar is where you search something up and find information or photos about what you were discovering about. It is a long rectangle at the top or middle of your screen.  

The Filter:

You might think that a filter is from snapchat or a filter that changes color of your screen, but its not. The filter is under the search bar that says all, images, videos, news, maps, setting, tools and more. The filter bar is handy.

Exploring Blogs

We are learning to create a positive digital footprint.

We often share personal information when we are online. The people we share with could be our friends and family or people we don't know. We need to make smart decisions about what personal information we share online.
