Wonder the wonderful book

Hey bloggers,

for literacy today we were doing Genre we had to pick a book and write the different genre in it as you can see I chose the book wonder.  If you don't know, Wonder is a heartwarming story about a boy who is born with some skin problems and his face looks a bit different. He starts school and everybody is talking about him and makes fun of him. But he finds a friend and warms up to everyone. 

 This is my work,  

I hope you like it, have a great day!

Do you Know what ASCII is?

Today we are learning about Binary and ASCII. 

Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers.  You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it for yourself!  Try watching this video to give it a go yourself!

ASCII is a set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard).  I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code!  Using colours to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image below! 




What do you think?  Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII?  Could you have a try for yourself?  Can you work out how to write my initials in ASCII from the pattern above?

Have a great day

Do you want to know who the real Superheros are?

Kia Ora Bloggers,

I hope you are having a great day!!

For inquiry, we were looking  at images that had a global issue behind them I chose this one, we had to write what we thought is meant here is mine:  

Everybody knows that there is a global pandemic going on in the world at the moment and this art totally represents our unspoken heroes at the moment. This photo to me looks like a nurse/ doctor wearing a superhero mask.  I can tell because of the scrub and the way she has tided her hair up. I think that this image has a clear reminder to all people that some people are work even harder than them but some get paid less.  What do you think this picture is trying to tell you?

Have a great day

Billy is sooo Ironic

Hey bloggers,

We have been learning as a hub about irony there are 3 types of Irony, Situational Irony, dramatic Irony and Verbal Irony. Situational Irony is when something happens but it is unexpected, you would expect to see a human walking a dog but instead, you saw the dog walking a human that would be Situational Irony.

 Dramatic Irony: for example, you go to the cinema and you watch a movie where the audience knows that the character is going to die but the character and their friends don't know that. Lastly Verbal Irony is when the character says the opposite of what is actually happening, for example, let's say there is a thunderstorm outside and a person says in a sarcastic tone 

"What a lovely day!"      

This is mine, what type of irony do you think me and my friend used?

Have a lovely day!

Marvellous Mathematics

Literacy

For math this week we did algebra. For algebra, we did sequences we were to investigate the rule. Work out the differences between each term and the next, explore the patterns and list the nest few terms. Some of them were challenging but most of them were easy. I think I did well with this task next time I think I could challenge myself to do the task a bit quicker.
