Hey guys, welcome back to another blog!
In this blog, I will be telling you about Creativity in my blog.
I will be answering questions about Creativity.
On my last blog, I answered questions about Collaboration.

We also had two other tasks and we had to use our creative thinking for them. One of the tasks was that we had to think of 100 ways to use a paper clip. And the other, we had to turn 4 circles and 4 squares into real life objects.

5 ways to use a paper clip:
1. Accessories for your doll
2. A bookmark
3. Cord holders
4. Lock pick
5. Key chain

Self:
What kind of thinker am I?
I, myself, think that I am a creative thinker, I can also think of creative things quite quickly and sometimes, I get told that I'm really creative. I get creative by things that are around me and I can draw something that can resemble it or maybe turn it into something useful than it was before. Sometimes, when I'm stuck on what I should draw, I look around the things that are around me and then I draw that.

What creative thinking skills do I have and which could I work on and why?
I think pretty fast and get ideas pretty well. I can be really creative. I get REALLY creative when I'm tired, but when I'm not, I can't really think of what to do or draw or write. I'm a night person.

What aspects of creative thinking do I find find the hardest?
Sometimes I can't think of some things when I really need to. But when I just relax and look around, I find what I'm looking for. I sometimes find it hard to focus.

Hey guys! Welcome back to another blog.

In this blog, it will be about PBL and Collaboration. For PBL this term, we are doing a School Fair, and we have been put in groups of 4 to create a game for the fair. Feel free to come this Sunday, 8th of March to our School Fair.

- Work highly effectively and interdependently, identifying and using each other's strengths and skills.
I think that I worked well by putting some ideas onto a document and then deciding which one we will be doing for our game. I also helped them paint and cut the boxes.

- Respectfully raise and explore different options and are able to move forward in the direction the team identifies.
I personally think that I worked well with my team by supporting their own ideas and opinions instead of just going with my own one and showing the work I have done and asking for their opinions if they like the design or asking if they like the colours.

- Take active responsibility for the way the group works together to create a quality product.
I helped my group quite a lot but I think I can still do a bit more. My group is a really good group so we are all working on our Fair project.

My goal is to improve these more so that we can make an awesome Fair project.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this blog. Byeeeee!!!!

3D, 2D and Square Nets!

Hey guys, welcome back to another blog! This blog will be about Maths. I have gone to a workshop and my goal in that workshop is "Relate three-dimensional models to two-dimensional representations, and vice versa."

I have created a google drawing including a 3D picture of that shape, a 2D version and a Square Net.


And one of our tasks was to fold the square nets to see if they would make a square.

For the net, you can print it out and fold it to see of it makes that shape.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this blog. Byeee!!!

Question: Have you ever done something like this? Or similar to this?

How to Wash your Hands!~

Hey guys, welcome back to another blog. This blog, I will be sharing instructions on how to wash your hands! The reason why I made this is because it's for my Writing workshop.

My goal for my Writing workshop is "Use a variety of sentence structures, beginnings and lengths to give effect." Then I had to choose out of these 2, I had to either write how to wash hands or how to tie shoe laces. So I chose how to wash hands, since it seemed a lot easier. The video was about showing kids why it's important to wash your hands with soap.

~{:} How to wash your hands {:}~

Anyways, I hope you learned how to wash your hands (your probably already know.)

Byee!!!

Papau New Guinea ~

Hey guys, welcome back to another blog! This week, I have been working on Making Connections in my Reading workshop.

We read about Papua New Guinea and I made a mind map about it. I wrote 4 stories from the website and then I made connections with them. I will be showing you my mind map!

Story 1: They catch fish, my connection is that I've gone fishing with my family.

Story 2: People constantly tried to steal their land, my connection is that I read about the Treaty of Waitangi's timeline and people tried to steal their land.

Story 3: They collected sand and then turned it into glass, my connection is that when I played games and I had to turn sand into glass.

Story 4: The water wasn't very safe, and if you drank it, you would get sick. My connection was the water in the Philippines wasn't safe and their rivers were full of pollution and trash.

Anyways, I hope you learned a thing or two in this blog. Byeee!!!

Question: What connections do you have with Papau New Guinea in this blog?

Hello! I'm Katrina just in case you didn't know. I'm so excited for what 2020 will bring to me and this school, whether it's bad or it's good or it's bad. My goals are for this year are:

- Get a Silver and a Gold Literature Badge.
- Make the correct choices wherever I am.
- Complete a lot of goals on LINC-Ed.
- Step up and volunteer more.
- Do something and help the school more.

For the holidays, I didn't really go to many places, I didn't go to any other countries either. But I did go to Hamner Springs for the first time! It was kind of crowded so honestly, my visit was okay. We also got a holiday home with some of my family friends. It was really fun! It was 2 stories and I got to sleep on a bunk bed! I mostly either played on my laptop or watched Netflix, heh. I'm that type of person. Before our trip to Hamner, we kept on changing it, we went from going to Little River to going to Hamner, the mountains and hills and animals were amazing! I loved seeing the mountains and the hills. I also went camping with my family friends too, it was fun. I got to sleep in a tent with another family friend, and it was kind of big! I also got more interested with my skin care and how I took care of myself. This holiday honestly helped me a LOT.

I hope you had an AMAZING holiday, I would really like to know where you went. Bye!!
