This game is about officer ice cream having to freeze the right shape so it won’t melt from the sun. When you know the name of the shape then it won’t melt. It teaches you about the names of the 3D shapes. You can pause the game whenever you want to also you can unpause the game when you are ready to play. I love playing these games. I learnt about the shames and their names. Good to have fun and revise what I have learnt. Good practice games.

Vocabulary activity by Moana

After reading the text about pandemic in 1918 I created this using wordle. I used new vocabulary from the text. I chose 1918 because the pandemic happened in 1918.

Reading by Janett

I read our story about the pandemic in 1918. I chose the new words and create a word puzzle.

Reading response by Dyzon

Today I choose to write a letter to my friend Pauliasi describing a little bit of what I learnt from the reading. For the first time writing a personal letter. This is what I was able to write. Next time I will do better.

Learning game - Pauliasi

I like the Hex puzzle because it teaches me about shapes and strategy.
First you have to fill up all the blank space with shapes also you can rotate
the puzzle around to put the puzzle in place. It's a 1 player game for children
from 5+years old to 12 years old. You can teach your kids how to play this game
so their future kids can learn as well different shapes and their name. Great
learning game. 

Compare and contrast by Pauliasi and Dyzon

This is what we create to show our understand about what happen during the pandemic in 1918 compared to what is happening now. I hope you enjoy our creation.

Compare and contrast by Moana and Selu

Reading response activity-to show our understanding Selu and I (Moana) create a venn diagram to show the differences and similarities  of what happen during the pandemic in 1918 and what is happening now. We hope that you guys enjoy this.

Learning games by Pauliasi

This game is fun because I can sort out and differentiate 2D from 3D shapes in these boxes.

I love this game because it teaches me about 2D and 3D shapes. Also it tells me that 2D shapes have vertices  and 3D shapes have faces and sides and vertices too. 2D means you can only see it from the front to the back of it, you can’t see it from the side only back to front. 3D shapes means you can see the shape from all directions front, back, left, right. 2D shape is flat as a piece of paper, so 3D shape is like a house or a window.

Recount by Selu

Such a selfish restless shape. What a dissatisfied little creature and always wanted more.
It seems like a little brat. What a call way to learn 2 and 3-dimensional shapes. I enjoyed
learning today and I hope you would too when you read my recount.

The greedy triangle is an ungrateful, dissatisfied and unhappy shape that is always slipping
into peoples and listening to their gossip then soon the triangle will tell its friends. I would be
happy doing that instead of doing work all the time.

Then suddenly the triangle wasn’t satisfied being a triangle then soon it grumbled “ I'm tired
of doing the old same thing” so it trotted to see the local shapeshifter. “How may I help you?”
The triangle cried “ I think I just need one more side and one more angle and my life will be
interesting.” “That’s easy to do,” said the shapeshifter. POOF! The shapeshifter turned the
triangle into an amazing quadrilateral.

 The quadrilateral's life changed in a wonderful way the quadrilateral was happy with all
the new things it could do. The quadrilateral could be the first, second, third base it could be a
baseball diamond too. It could be a lot of things. The quadrilateral's favourite thing was however, it was to be a book I've learned so many interesting stories about the quadrilateral “which I could tell my friends” the quadrilateral friends like hearing the stories. But then the quadrilateral was not happy again “I’m tired of doing the same thing” so it went to see the local shapeshifter again. “How can I help you?” asked the shapeshifter to the quadrilateral mumbled that only if I had one more side and one more angle said quadrilateral that’s easy to do. POOF! The shapeshifter turned the quadrilateral into a pentagon. 

Life really changed in a wonderful way the pentagon could be the home plate and section on
a soccer ball. The Favourite thing, however, was to be the headquarters of the United States
near Washington DC because 

I could hear all the top-secret that way it's too bad I can tell them to my friend the pentagon
was feeling left out so once again it went to the shapeshifter “oh you are here again what
would you like” mmmm only if I had one more side and one more angle that easy to do.
POOF the shapeshifter turned the pentagon into a hexagon life was really good as always
it could do a lot of things it could fit floorboard but the hexagon’s favourite thing was to be a
cell in a beehive “I love watching the bees flying in and out it said the hexagon, the hexagon
spent too much time in the beehive. Its friends missed the hexagon but they couldn’t feel that
they are ignored every time it changes shapes. Again and again, it’s shapes became tense
and as ever dissatisfied shape also this time it’s life wasn’t wonderful ever time it wasn’t happy
it always went to the local ships after for more sides and angles so whatever time it goes to
the shapeshifter, the shapeshifter will always agree to the decisions that the shape will ask for.

• Heptagon 
• Octagon
• Nonagon
• Decagon

And it goes on and on and on. 

 Eventually, the shape had too many sides, too many angles, its sides were too miniature,
the shape had a hard time keeping its shape steady. Its friends felt left out and they couldn’t
tell which side it began to avoid the shapes. One day the shape was walking down a hill
then suddenly the shapes began to roll the hill faster and faster it went, bellowing and
around the corners, lashing into fences also trees, conflicting with bicycles, and petrified
walkways. At last, the shape came to a stop. It felt tired and weak, lonely and sad. “Enough,”
thought the shape “I don't know which side is up. Then the shape went to the shapeshifter “
aren't you happy yet”  the shapeshifter asked “I want to be a triangle again,” said the shape”
I'm not surprised “ said the shape shapeshifter. POOF! The shapeshifter turned this
ungrateful shape back into a triangle. 

The shape has a restless life, always dissatisfied and unhappy. What a life but in the end
it went right back to being a triangle. So just a reminder to all of us not to be ungrateful and
greedy like this triangle shape and always satisfied with what we got. 

I hope you enjoyed my story.
