Procedural writing.

 Talofa lava bloggers,

During writing we have been working on a procedural writing text about a game. I chose Snakes and ladders because it is a nice and simple thing to write about. I learnt how to make things that I am writing, make sense. We did this by following each others instructions exactly to see if they worked out with the steps and rules that were written. I think I did well because I am the only one in my class that has properly finished yet. Follow my instructions below if you would like to play.

STEM week Waikowhai Student led toolkits.

 Waikowhai toolkit.

On the 11th of June Waikowhai Primary School had a school toolkits with the seniors and middle school. During STEM week witch means science technology engineering mathematics week. There were 24 presenters and 12 toolkits to opt into. We used a survey to choose our first second and third choices for our toolkit on Friday. I was only allowed to pick one thing because I was presenting Incredibox twice to the middle school and seniors mixed up.

My first toolkit was Word Art in Waitemata. It was presented by Vivian and Hazel. This is a really cool and fun app to play with. Once they had finished the slideshow we got to have sandpit time. That was when we all got to make whatever we wanted. I made 3 that I am going to show you down below. Word Art is like art but on a devise where you have to put lots of word into a shape that looks really cool. Maybe you could have a try on this app. You can do whatever you like use your imagination with Word Art.

They second toolkit I was presenting in Kaiwhare with 12 people. I was nervous at this point it was like being a teacher having to look after so many children. I was presenting with Kiani. We had to make a slideshow on how to use Incredibox. Incredibox is an app that you can make your own music in. When you join Incredibox you have to drag little icons onto men to create some music. I really like Incredibox because it gives you a chance to be creative because there is different styles of music that you can create your own music with. The slideshow had to include some sandpit time for them like 15 minutes. I had fun because I had to present again. And I would then know what I needed to do on my next time presenting in a different class. I had fun as well as some frustration from all of the noise the kids in the class were making. At least I had a teacher there to help if me and Kiani could not handle it.

My third toolkit I was presenting again. This time it was easier because Me and Kiani knew what we were doing We also had a a teacher in this class but he played with Incredibox so we had to handle a lot of noise in the class with almost 20 children. Again we were presenting Incredibox just in a different classroom. This time the class had more sandpit time playing with Incredibox.

After all I had a amazing day teaching different children how to use Incredibox as well as them making music. If we do this again I would love to carry on being a presenter just maybe with a different app.
