Oxford place value
Task description : In this task we used Oxford maths to look at numbers in the 1 million place value. We took 4 screenshots of the different values of each number. on the first screenshot we only screenshot the number with no other value . On the next 3 screenshots we show the value of one number. In this activity I learned that the value of one number isn’t actually how many ones, tens or hundreds are in the number. Oxford maths is a website you can go and practice your maths several different ways. Or your teacher can sign you up to Oxford maths and assign you digital worksheets and tests to practice your maths.

Ko wai au 2
Task description : We learned to use my maps to coordinate special places or places we have travelled to in the past . we have added markers to the places that are special to us like our home country, our school and more places . This task was fun to do since we could have a loom around in other countries such as Greenland , Iceland or Australia .I added lines from my special places to new Zealand . the marker with an adult and a child is school and the other places are places where I visited or my home country .As I was doing this lots of memories flooded back , like the time I went to Hong Kong Disney land as a child . Or that one time I went to Singapore with my grandparents and family members. Using my maps you can add places where you wanna go or places you already have been to for memories .

Kawa of care -Smart learner
Task description :Kia ora! we are learning to care for our Chromebook and make sure our Chromebooks stay safe . I learnt that no food or drink is allowed near Chromebook or else it could get our Chromebooks broken . I also learnt that slamming your Chromebook can damage your screen or even break it. Never hold your Chromebook by the screen , but always hold it with two arms and by the base or the bottom of your Chromebook to avoid dropping and breaking .when charging you must be working near the plug , because if block a path way with your cord someones could trip over the cord . When leaving at home or in a classroom make sure your Chromebook is out of sight and is hidden in a proper and safe location to avoid theft . don’t forget to make sure that it is fully charged when coming to school .In this activity we matched up sentences to make the rules I talked to you about . We also had to answer yes or now questions for example , should you drink or eat near your Chromebook? that would be a no. this activity taught me a lot about how to be cyber smart with my computer to make sure my Chromebook stays safe at all costs .I am really happy that I know know Kawa of care so my Chromebook stays safe from all harm .
