Canta Maths Preparing for 2017

Hi Bloggers,

This is just a quick post showing what I have made for the Canta Maths Exhibition this year in preparation for next year:

We should all Travel!

Hi everyone, I'm sure most of you know that this Term is all about Speeches! 

I struggled to come up with a topic and then struggled to write it, but with some help and google search I have managed to create an amazing speech about why we all should travel!

(Click here to get to my speech)

2 days ago on the 21st, a librarian came to our school to judge the top 3 in each year groups speeches. 

I was chosen to be in the top 3 and came 2nd out of the Year 8's. (Yay!) 

Have you written a speech?

Did you go to a speech compitition?

Have you won anything? 

I'd like to know more about how your speeches went and also have those questions answered if you can! 

See you next blog post! 

Term 3 Time Table

Hi Bloggers, here is my timetable for Term 3:
Every Monday we sit down and plan what we do for the week using this google sheet.

I find it a very good way to learn how to become a 'Self Managing Learner' and also have voice in what I do at school. 

If you have any questions about my timetable or this way of learning then feel free to ask me!

It's all about books!

Hey Bloggers, today is about novels!
That's right books!

For reading this term everyone in the class was instructed to do a novel study.
We could chose any way to present it eg; paper, google apps...ect.

I chose a simple google slide to present my novel study, so please have a look at what I have done:

(Please keep in mind that I am still adding some more photos.)



Thanks for taking a look, I hope you can take the time to comment, and maybe give me some pointers of what I can do better for future work!

What is 'Netiquette'?

Hi everyone, 

 Todays post is about Digital Etiquette; or Netiquette. 

 Do you know what Netiquette is? 

Netiquette is the do's & dont's of online communication; or anything Digital really. 

 Watch this video which explains very clearly the do's & dont's of Digital Communication:

So... what do you think?

Have you been using Netiquette?

What were the main points highlighted in that video?

If we all use Netiquette the digital world will be a better safer place, and we will have a very clean and positive digital footprint.

Calling all bloggers... Welcome to A Special Quote!

This is a blog that my friend and I Bella have been working on since Week 3 this Term for the Digi Awards. 

Digi Awards is a competition for kids, that gets them to chose from different categories and use your brain power to create and amazing digital presentation.  

Every year there is a different theme to work of; this year the theme was to 'Be the Change'. 

So with that introduction in mind please watch this brief Screencastify which give you a small tour around our blog:

So the video pretty much sums what we have done.
I encourage you to take a look at the link here: (Click Here) and also check out the Canterbury Digi Awards Site (Click Here) if you want to.

Bye for now!
