Daffidols & Lillies Group Notes

In the morning our literacy class has been learning about the different kinds of matter. There are three kind of  states of matter Liquid, Solid & lucky last but not least Gas. Did you know that everything on the earth is made of matter and that is so cool. I hope you enjoy and learn things about matter from our group notes.

Thinking Space

Hello there, as you can see this presentation shows words that I don't know from the story that I just read about. The story that I read about is called Half A Bit Of Butterflies and it is about this girl that has Cerebral Palsy which is a disability and she is part of a dance group that is tour around different places. I hope you enjoy

Tamaki College Experience

This week on Tuesday the year 8 students went down to Tamaki College to experience the life time there and any other college's .  We have learned so much about classes and how their day goes and stuff. Here is some paragraphs to tell you how it went.

Yesterday in the morning the year 8 students from Point England School went down to Tamaki College.  The reason why we went there was because us year 8’s have to know now what we are going to do next year when we go to different college’s.  When we arrived there, there was students that recently attended at our school last year and the year before that but, now they go to Tamaki College. They were our guidance leaders.  

While we were waiting in the auditorium (hall) Mrs Moore one of the deputy principals welcomed us and told us what we were going to do.  After when Mrs Moore welcomed us and everything we went to our first high school classes which was Social Studies & Maths.  In Social Studies we learned about how we get to school and how other kids around the world get to school.  In Maths class we had a teacher called Mrs Dunn.  She was very kind and I liked how she teaches Maths to kids because she explains it very clearly and she waits for us until we get the strategy of something.

During the day we went to some more classes like English and P.E and learnt heaps more of information.  Also they provided morning tea and lunch for us which was pretty nice of them to do.  What we had for morning tea and lunch was a water bottle, a fruit, muesli bar, Subway and burgers, they were so delicious.  We finished the day off with some fun games in the Rex Center (sports hall). I had a fun day at Tamaki learning things about college.

      

Cerebral Palsy

Hi everybody, welcome to my blog. This presentation shows information and any kind of things you want to know about Cerebral Palsy.  Cerebral Palsy is a disability that happens during pregnancy or at the age of 2 - 3 years.  It may be that half of your body cannot use your muscles to move around. I hope you enjoy my presentation. Thank you and good bye.

Ratios

This Week in our Maths class we are learning about Ratios. This presentation is just filled with simple easy questions about Ratios and there is also some videos in the presentation that shows a little bit of information about Ratios. So it's just like a warm up presentation. I'll also publish another presentation that is kind of challenging but I'll try my best to get the right answer for all of the questions. I hope you enjoy my presentation about Ratios. Goodbye.

Algorithm 2

This week our Maths class have been taught by our teacher how to use algorithm. At first I was kind of struggling to use the algorithm strategy, at the end of the week I now know how to use it from the help of my friends. Algorithm helps me to solve problems really quick. My working out is in my maths book if you want to know. I hope you enjoyed this little moment of presentment.

Article

Hello there, as you can see here there is a presentation. The presentation is about an article that my reading group has been reading and the article is talking about a famous Olympian Runner called Brenda Martinez.  If you don't know who Brenda Martinez is you should probably start investigating her more and get some information about her.  So when Brenda Martinez was a young girl she couldn't afford to buy a new pair of running shoes.  The shoes that she wore to school is the same shoes that she wore to her practice (Brenda Martinez was poor when she was little).  Now Brenda Martinez gets running shoes from her sponsor's, New Balance and she also gives free running shoes to young runners. I hope you enjoy my presentation.

Olympics

As you all know that the Rio 2016 Olympics recently finished and I am kind of sad because it was really fun watching the sports and athletes competing with other athletes from different countries. Here is a presentation about the Olympics and other stuff if you read it.

Hiwi The Kiwi

Do you guys know Hiwi the Kiwi? Well, they came to our school yesterday afternoon and taught us about Kai Moana and the important things when you go out to fish for some yummy Kai Moana.  If you don't know what Kai Moana means I can tell you. Kai means food and Moana means sea and if you put it together it is food from the sea or sea food.  Mr and Mrs Minstrel (husband and wife that came and talked to our whole school) gave us heaps of advice, so when we go out fishing we would know what to do if anything bad happens.

Here are some advice:
Take some ice with you to cool the fish and put some salt on it because it is good for the fish or else it would get bad.
When you hold any kind of fish make sure you hold it with an wet towel so their scales don't come off.
If you want to clean your fish you should clean it with salt water so your fish doesn't get rotten.
Always make sure you and whoever your with on the boat wear a LIFE JACKET so if your boat sinks you will be floating and alive because your wearing an LIFE JACKET. That's all I learnt from Hiwi the Kiwi and I hope you enjoyed my blog post about Hiwi the Kiwi today.

Cheering On (My Writing)

This is my writing that I have done about an Olympic Athlete (don't know if he is one). Read my story really carefully and see if there is any mistake that I have done, if there are any mistakes please comment so when I write a story, recount or a narrative I'll remember to use your comments to help my writing better. Have a good day and I hope you enjoy.

Cheering On

At Brazil, Rio de Janeiro (where the Olympic games is held), 5:00 am John’s alarm clock rang repeatedly.  John finally rolled out of his comfortable bed to get ready for his big, first and last boxing game at 5:45 am.  It was 5:30 am, John just finished his light healthy breakfast, got dressed into his uniform.  Now all he needs to do is to go to his game as soon as possible because he was running late.  

Ding Ding Ding! The bell has rang. That means that the boxing game is about to start, but not yet.  The crowd was cheering so loud you couldn’t even hear the referee call out the two players. As the referee told the two competitors to come inside the boxing ring, Luke and John were warming up for their game.

“Welcome everybody to the Rio Olympics- Boxing game, tonight we have Luke from Germany playing against John from France!” Shouted the referee, on the microphone. Now the boxing game just begun, Luke started off with an uppercut to John’s chin which kind of clicked a little and then John fell backwards and knocked his head on the referee’s feet (the referee didn’t mind).  “Yay!” Everybody screaming and shouting for Luke, so John got back up with fierce on his face and he started giving Luke four hard jabs straight in the cheek bones and then with a hook, cross into Luke’s munted face.    

There was silence for 5 seconds (because everybody was blown away by John’s actions) and then every single body in the stadium all cheered and jumped up and down for John because he had won the boxing match for the morning. John received a gold medal after his game and he was so stoked, he couldn’t wait to go back to his home country and show his family and friends his first ever gold medal that he won at the Rio Olympics 2016.

Trip To America, Silicon Valley

Last term these two students and a teacher called Mr Sharma from Tamaki College and Andrew Patterson, came to our Team 5 block to talk to us about how these two students (Saia & Gabe) were picked to go to the United States, Silicon Valley.  At Silicon Valley there was so many company's they went to like Stanford University, Khan Academy, Yelp, Microsoft, Google, Xero, Facebook, Instagram, Apple, Twitter, Ideo, Nasa and Alcatraz.  Before Saia and Gabe went to America they didn't even know some of the company's that they were about to go to, but now after they came back they know a little bit of imformation about those company's.  While they were talking to us about the things they did, I could see that they were so motivated, inspired and full of happiness because they have been to many different places in Silicon Valley and learned heaps about them. When I am a year 11 at Tamaki College and if somebody gave me an opportunity for something so amazingly special to do then I would say yes to it.

Why Do Our Muscles Get Tired

This presentation shows heaps of information about why and how our muscles get tired and what fatigue means. Fatigue means when you exercise really hard, but during your exercise you don't get enough oxygen into our body.  There is more information in the presentation if you look at it then what I have written here.  I hope you enjoy and learn something from my presentation.

Whole Of A Set

This week our maths is learning to find a whole of a set. I hope you like my presentation.

Fraction Of A Set

I have just finished solving these problems by myself. This week we are learning to find the fraction of a set and it is easy for me. sometimes I get confused of finding the fraction of a set and finding the whole of a set so that's what kind of makes it harder. I hope you enjoy my presentation.

Winter Learning Journey- Activity 1

 Hello blog viewers now that the Olympics is coming up this is just a blog post kind of about it. If I was alive in 776 BC I would compete in Boxing because I just like punching people for fun and that I can release all my anger feelings into it. In the 776 BC they didn't have any boxing gloves they had long strips of leather wrapped around their hands. I hope you have learnt a little something from my blog post.

Reading Task

This week our literacy teacher gave us an reading task to work on. Our reading task is about last year's Nesian Fusion performance Road To Teo Reo and there was also Fire dancers performing for us too. Miss Muliausealii made a google drawing and just put questions on it comparing to the performance last year. I have taken a photo of the google drawing as an example to show you guys what it looks like and stuff.

Nesian Fusion- Road To Reo

Intro To Algebra

Good afternoon blog viewers and welcome to my blog. This is a presentation for us children in maths class for a introduction to Algebra. Me and my maths group just met up with our teacher and he was just talking about the basic's of Algebra and he gave us some questions for us to do. For me Algebra is kind of easy. I hope you enjoy this blog post. Goodbye.

Paper Mache - Waka

Good afternoon people, these past few weeks the senior's have been making and creating different kinds of things which connects to our topic for this term in five different classes. The class that I am in is making paper mache waka's (boat). Here are 4 photos of the waka from 4 different angles. I hope you enjoy.

Fraction Practice

Hello visitors, welcome to my blog and thank you for looking and just viewing it. This presentation that I am introducing to you guys has fraction questions on it because our Maths teacher put it on. He says that our knowledge for fraction is very low and we need work on it so that's why he made this presentation (He really wants us to practice and know our fractions before we go to college). I am kind of getting there to where I am supposed to be at fractions, but not quite there. You can also check that if my answers are correct and stuff. I hope you like and enjoy what I have shared with you today and get something out of it. Goodbye everybody and have a good day. Thank you.

My Narrative Writing

This is my Narrative Writing of my Busy Fun Saturday just last week. I hope that you will enjoy my narrative writing and not think of it as a boring dumb narrative writing. Thank you if you like it and enjoyed it. Have a good day and Goodbye.

Busy Fun Saturday

On Saturday morning my grandpa (Lokiuti) woke me up I was so tired and lazy that I didn’t want to do anything, but sleep in. My grandpa had to wake me up so that me, him and my aunty (Fiona) can go to Glen Innes to buy a big bag of potatoes and to get some things payed off and also to get something to eat for breakfast.

After when we bought the bag of potatoes aunty Fiona had some money from somewhere and she shouted us KFC for breakfast. KFC isn’t healthy and good to eat for breakfast, but I still ate it anyways because I was desperately hungry and there was nothing else to eat. We parked outside of the KFC shop and just digged into the KFC like we haven’t ate a single piece of it in our whole entire life. It was delightful and it made me full like a fat pig.

Later on Fiona told me that we were going to watch her nephew (Hopoate) play Rugby at his school field. He and his team were playing against Wesley College. Hopoate is now a year 9 at Tamaki College. When my grandpa dropped us off, we saw that everybody was leaving and the reason was that the Rugby game was finished so yeah. I was laughing a little bit and also Tamaki College had won their Rugby game so that is good and awesome.

The Rugby game was finished, but Hopoate and his team were just doing a little run together and just packing up to go to the Glen Innes Pools and have a feed there. Fiona was just standing there talking to her aunty and sister while I was playing with Hopoate’s brothers ridgeback black puppy and Hopoate’s sister Ana and brother Christian.

My Saturday goes on and on and I don’t want to tell you everything that happened because then it will be boring and lame and you won’t like my narrative writing. My favourite part of the day was when me, Fiona, Fiona’s aunty (Ane Lahi), Ane lahi’s daughter Vea, Ana and Ana’s brother Christian went to Noel Leeming to sign up for Fiona’s new Samsung Galaxy S7 phone and us children were just on the phones, Ipad, Laptops and big huge Imacs playing around on it and that’s why that was the best part of my Busy Fun Saturday. THE END...

Netball Game (Nothern Mystics vs Magics)

This is my narrative showing that our school Netball team, Coach and manager went to watch the Nothern Mystics and the Magics play against eachother at the Trust Arena (Henderson). The game was inspirational for me and I hope you enjoy my narrative.

On Monday night at the Trust Arena at Henderson our school Netball Team, Coach and Manager went to watch a Netball game of the Nothern Mystics play against the Magics. It was my first time watching a live national Netball game. The reason why we went to watch them play was because that our Netball team entered a competition and that is to make a short video or clip showing what Positive Sideline Behavior is so that people watch any kind of game they won't be negative they will be positive. Also we are one out of two video’s that is in the finalist the prize for the competition is that we get to stay in a Hotel and go to a restaurant. (I believe that we can win this competition GO SORORITY!)

When we all found each other there we walked inside, I was feeling so excited. At first I saw people that worked there give out free stuff, people making signs for the Netball Teams and posters of the Nothern Mystics players. As we were making signs and voting for the best video I saw our competition heading inside our direction. They are in college and we are still in Intermediate ("That's not fare").

After that we went into the court area and found ourselves some seats. Before the game started the Magics was warming up on one half of the court and the Nothern Mystics were warming up on the other half of the court. Their Netball drills & skills was so motivating for me to play Netball a little bit harder when I play next time and they gave me some skills and advice to put into practice.

The Netball game was fun to watch. There was even some dangerous crash ups during the game, but they kept on playing which was tough. Every time when it was a break time there would be free awesome gifts and prizes that they just threw towards the crowd.

We did get something to eat there so that was pretty cool. I wish that I can go to every Nothern Mystics game to watch so that will help me with my Netball courier.

   

Introduction To Algebra

This presentation is the introduction for Algebra. This week my Maths Class is learning about Algebra. Algebra is a problem and there is a letter x or y (Just has to be a letter) and it replaces any numbers in to problem or equation. You will know when you look in the presentation. I hope you learn something new and understand a little bit about Algebra. Thank you and I hope you enjoy. Goodbye.

Mixture Of Problems T1

This presentation is my learning. There is three questions on every slide and we have to pick only one and answer it. We also have to show how we solved the problem. This is my learning of Maths. We are learning to use different kind of operation to use in our equation and working out. I Hope you enjoy.

My New Blog

Hi Blog viewers, A few weeks ago I have made my own Blog which is called Jessica's Blog (Just write Peacejessicav28.blogspot.co.nz).

Johnny Angel Padlet

This is a screenshot of my Padlet. If you can see closely the Padlet shows some question and answers from us students and our teacher. The questions are about this artist called Johnny Angel and he sketches Samoan superheros. He really is passionate about sketching and drawing and he now trying to make little movies of his drawing and stuff.

Waka Padlet

This screenshot of a Padlet shows people's (Us students in Literacy Class) meanings about the four waka's. The four waka's are Te Aurere (Red), Hine Moana (Blue), Hikianalia (Yellow) & Hokule'a (Green).  This is part of our work in our literacy class. I hope you get something out of this padlet thing know what the meaning of the four waka's thank you.

Wool & Nail Art

Yesterday Room 1 started making a Wool & Nail Art. Wool & Nail Art is when you have a plank of wood and then you hammer nails down into the plank of wood (You can create any kind of logo or something with the nails). After that you then thread you're piece of art with wool. My partner for this project was my friend May. Here is a picture of us and our Wool & Nail Art. I hope you enjoy it.

Attitude Talk

The week before last week there was this guy that came to the Intermediate block at our school and talked about Attitude and who we are. His name was Nate, he was really funny because he was mocking his mum and talked about himself when he was in college or intermediate. He also talked about these four different animals and their meanings. First there was an otter. The otter is the one that wants to do everything the fun way like he is a clown or a joker. Second was a Lion. The lion is the one that bosses everybody and tells them what to do and that and that person doesn't have any care for others. The third animal is a Dog. The dog is called the The Golden Retriever because when he or she finds someone hurt or feeling sad they won't just leave it there they will go and help them with what they need help with. It also gives peace to the world. The last, but not least is the Beaver. The beaver is the one who is really responsible and good at taking care of things. Like they won't boss and shout at them or they won't be silly they will take things not seriously, but in a way that people would like. So yeah Nate was talking about heaps and loads of things about Attitude and who we are and what we may do to just try and fit in. I hope you got some facts and information from my piece of writing and make sure when you join something new or meet somebody new just be yourself.

Revolution Tour

Last week on Thursday the 12 of May, 2016 the Revolution Tour came to our school for the year 7 and 8's. They came to our school to talk to us about and what life (Past & the Future) is really about who we really are deep down and stuff like that. Little information about them is that they really like singing and dancing so much we had some spare time with them for us to get up and dance and just enjoy the special time with the Revolution Tour. There was a special guest from America that joined in the Revolution Tour too. His name was Reggie Dabbs. He didn't tell us his last name, but when I searched him up his last name came up so Dabbs is his last name (BTW I wasn't stalking him) Reggie first introduced himself to us which was really funny. Reggie had a really sad past of his life when he was young, but I'm not going to tell you because it's too sad. I am the same with Reggie, but I still break through it so that means if I can do it you all can do it. The Revolution Tour gave us some very Important special inspiring things that we will all put into practice even when we still grow old. To me the Revolution Tour are so Inspiring. They have changed a bit in me and part of my understandings.

Iluminate Brainstorm

This is my brainstorm about Iluminate. Iluminate was a team of dancers from America that had came to Point England School to perform for us and so this is my brainstorm of what they did for us. On the brainstorm I tell and show you about who they are what does their costumes look like and other stuff. I hope you enjoy and thank you for visiting my blog.

This Week!

This week has been a blast of inspirational, good fun talking and moving around getting active. On Tuesday Point England School was enjoying and loving the performance that this little group called Iluminate came and danced for us. Iluminate is a team of dancers and they dance, but not only that their costumes are black because it has to be black and on the black clothing is glowing stuff and bright colorful light that shines in the dark. In the hall Point England School was sitting down and when the lights turned off we saw bright colored lights shinning on the stage it was the Iluminate team of the dancers. The Iluminate team of dancers were from America. The team members were Mat, Lisa, Danny and the person the controls the lights and music was Bob. They were dancing really really fantastic I wish I can dance like that.

      

Padlet George Viral

These two screen shots that I have took is about our writing activity. Our writing activity is about this boy at our school that is our new prefect. A prefect is a person that is a leader of the school students. So last week on Friday this new boy called George just attended Point England School last term and he is now is a prefect. In our literacy class our teacher Mrs Muliaumasealii created a new padlet thing that we haven't used before and wrote question on it about George. We have to answer the question and then take a screen shot and post it to our own blog and write something with it describing what the blog post is about. Here are two screen shots of the padlet thingy.

Immersion Assembly Brainstorm

Good Morning there, as you can see this is my Immersion Assembly Brainstorm. My brainstorm is just telling you guys little information about our School Immersion Assembly and that is all I hope you enjoy my brainstorm.

Fiafia Awesome Night

Oh My Gosh. Last night was just a mind blow. On Thursday night (Last night) our school Fiafia was held on the Netball court and partly on the field. When the Tongan Girls (Us) were getting ready to look so fantastically beautiful I was so so excited and nervous at the same time. Mr Burt called from the speaker and announced that we had only five minutes left to go to the Netball courts now.  Five minutes later I was rushing to put my lipstick on and then I ran back to the hall. Now it was that moment when we have to walk to the Netball courts and sit there until Fiafia starts which was on at 7:00 pm.

While we were walking there I saw the Niue group and the Tongan Boys group walking to the same direction as we were going. When the Fiafia started I was cheering and shouting and just screaming my lungs out. The Senior Kapa Haka really performed so amazingly well for the first performance. My favourite performances were us the Tongan Girls, Tongan Boys, Senior Samoan group, Junior Hip Hop, Niue group, Senior Hip Hop, Cook Island and more.

AIM

Today the year 7 & 8’s had two amazing inspirational guest. At 9:15 this morning our first guest took our street away with her amazing incredible gift of aspiration and inspiration. Her name is Arizona Leger and she is really powerful with her words and actions. She first started talking about her full name and what it means. Then she talked about herself and what her culture is. Arizona just came back from her blasting cool adventure from Disney World. “WOW” Isn’t that just so…I can’t describe how awesome that is. Arizona was telling us about her trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. She told us how she got to go there and how she worked really hard there for probably 8 months (That’s what I think I heard). To me Arizona is an Inspirational person. Arizona has a lot of dreams that she had accomplished in a very short time (She even showed us a film from Disney World and the things that she participated in). I would really take that opportunity if somebody offered that to me.

 After Arizona’s speech the other special guest came up and introduced himself to us. His name is Kenese Samia. Kenese talked about himself like how his mother raised him up by herself and how his twin brother past away when he was at a young age. Then Kenese and his mother came to New Zealand because Kenese's mother wanted Kenese to have a good education. He now has a father and he is very pleasured for him to be in his life. Now Kenese is trying to accomplish his dreams like Arizona did.

Term 2 Immersion Assembly

This is a writing of our School Immersion Assembly. Yesterday we had a School Immersion Assembly in the hall for our Topic this new Term. Our topic this Term is As I See It. I hope you like and enjoy my writing.

Point England students and teachers just came back from their two week holiday. Today is the first day of Term 2 and Point England School started the day off with a School Immersion Assembly. We always have a School Immersion Assembly because it is for the Term 2 Topic. Our topic this Term is As I See It. It’s kind of like art.

Team 1 took the stage with what they were learning about. Team 1 is learning about what they’re favourite things are and I think they have to draw their favourite things. Before one of the teachers from Team 1 stood up and talked about what they are about to learn there was a movie showing the Team 1 teachers favourite things. Miss George’s favourite things is her Family, Chocolate,  playing Tennis and her students. Miss Lal’s favourite things is her Culture group (Indian), her son, Chocolate, reading books, Mission Bay’s fountain and her students at school. Miss Peck’s favourite things is her Pandora bracelet and there is some more, but I can’t remember. Miss Wild’s favourite things is her dog Joey, reading books and  her students. Lucky last Miss Dwyer’s favourite things is ballerina and reading books.

Then it was Team 2’s turn. Team 2 are learning about the four seasons and what they are going to make and create from the different seasons and what they are going to look like. Each teacher in Team 2 has a season each and in their class they are going to learn about it and make things for the season. Miss Eadie has Winter to learn about with her class. Miss Szymanik has Summer to learn about with her students which is really Hot! Miss Nalder and her students has Spring to learn about and Miss Tumahi has Autumn to learn about with her kids.

Next up was Team 3. Team 3 are learning about architect. Which means they are looking at different kinds of houses and how they are built and what they are built with. Also they are looking at what shapes and sizes there are on the houses. They are also trying to design some houses.

After Team 3 was obviously Team 4 and it was. Team 4 are looking at Comic Books. This term they are going to look at all the superheroes and look at their costume and how they are designed. They also might be designing their own superheroes and that is all.

My favourite item of all was Team 5. Team 5 are learning about the four waka’s. The four waka’s are all named and here are their names and their meanings. Hine Moana is one waka and it represents the colour blue and the ocean. Hokule’a is another waka and Hokule’a represents the colour Green and its ancestors and the earth. There is another waka and it is called Te Aurere. Te Aurere represents the colour Red and Blood Sweat and Tears. Last, but not least is the waka called Hikianalia. Hikianalia represents the colour Yellow and also the stars. The Team 5 teacher had their speeches and talked about what their waka means and after that they had a race. The race was so funny that’s why Team 5 was my favourite item.  

Week 9/10 Problems

As you can see this is a presentation and on the presentation is some problems from my teacher to us his maths class. This week we have been learning how to use multiplication and division to solve 'Whole Unknown' problems. I am now getting use to it and it is easy for me. I have shown my working out very clearly so you can now try it yourself. Goodbye for today.

Getting Organized For Fiafia

For the past few weeks our whole school has been going to different classes to practice their own dances for Fiafia. The Fiafia is a whole heap of performances made by the Point England students. The Point England students are put into island groups or culture groups and they have their own tutors. The tutors teach them a dance and the students will have to try and learn them off my heart.

I am in the Tongan girls groups and we are learning our way up. We have sized up our costumes and made sure that every single girl has a costume to wear on the night. Me and these other girls hasn't got our costumes yet so we have to wait until somebody buys our costumes. I am feeling so extremely excited about Fiafia because there is heaps of people there (around two thousand or three thousand people) to watch us perform and there is some yummy kai's for you're tummy. We've been practicing very hard on getting on stage and getting off and we've been making sure that we do the right actions at the right time. I hope for us Tongan girls get everything we desperately need.  

Problem Solving Week 8

Every week my maths teacher Mr Wiseman always gives us a presentation. On the presentation there are maths problems for us to solve by our selves. We have to show our working out clearly so that Mr Wiseman knows how we solved the problem and if we understand th what we are learning. Our Walt is multiplication and division to solve part unknown problems. At the end of the presentation is our practice work. The practice work is just for us to get our mind going and for us to help us learn our times table. Thank you for visiting my blog.

Problem Solving Week 6

Down bottom of this piece of information is my presentation. The presentation is about our Week 6 Problems. Our Maths teacher Mr Wiseman told us that we have to work by ourselves, but if we get stuck we can get help from somebody. We also have to show our working out on the presentation so Mr Wiseman knows how we got the answer. He always tells us to show our working out. I have showed my working out for all the problems and I am done. You should try to solve the problems by yourself. Thank you for visiting my Blog and seeing this blog post.

Tinana - Body

   

 Up top is a picture of a man's tinana (tinana in Maori means body). There are arrows that point to a body part and I wrote down what the body parts are called in Maori. Our Maori teacher Matua Whillis was teaching us what our body parts are called in Maori. You will know some body parts in Maori now because of my blog post here. I hope you enjoy and learn this in your own spare time. Thank you and good bye.

Deconstructing & Re-crafting

This is my Deconstructing & Re-crafting writing. My literacy teacher wrote a sentence or two about anything and then we have to destroy the piece of writing she wrote and then re-write it again in a better version. I really like practicing my deconstructing & re-crafting because it helps me write in a better descriptive way. At the bottom is the piece of writing that my literacy teacher wrote and underneath that is my piece of writing. I hope you like my deconstructing & re-crafting writing.

As I sat on the dock, I felt something tugging on my line. I tried to pull it up but it felt like I was being pulled in. I tried to think of what to do. I looked around but there was no-one to help me.

As Kate was enjoying sitting on the beautiful dock, she felt something tugging on her fishing rod. Kate was so frustrated she stood up and tried to pull it up, but it felt like she was being pulled into the freezing ice cold water. She didn’t want that to happen so Kate was thinking very hard of what to do. Nobody was around her so she couldn’t get some help, but she kept looking for somebody.

During she was seeking for help the thing just disappeared into nowhere just like that. Then later on, the thing was back and then it started tugging real hard on her line. Kate was getting very very annoyed of it. Suddenly Kate had a brilliant idea. She slid her hand in her left warm wooly pocket and then dialed her dad’s phone number and rang him. Ring ring ring. In a few seconds later her dad, Phil answered his phone and she was blabbering to him  

Problem Solving

This week our maths teacher gave us some problems to work on and post it to our blog. Instead of  just writing the answer we have to write and work out how we got the answer. When we post our presentation we have to write the walt for our problem solving. Walt- Solve whole unknown problems using multiplication/Division strategies.

Saving Canoes Narrative

This blog post is my Narrative Writing from this week. This week my literacy class have been writing our own Narrative Writing. I have finished my Narrative writing and here it is.

Once upon a time in a mysterious Island called Cabonga there lived two very stupid brothers. One day the two brothers ate this stinky, rotten cheese that their mother told them not to eat. But they ate it and they didn’t know that the cheese they ate had been in the fridge since their little sister was borned. Now she’s 10 years old so basicly they ate an 10 year old, stinky rotten cheese. At that moment their stomach was feeling very very upset. Instead of lying down and chilaxing like normal kids would do when their stomach hurts so bad, they decided to go into the deep mysterious ocean.

A Long long time ago, in the 1800’s there were two siblings that wanted to watch the sun go down from the middle of the ocean, but their mother told them to stay because it was too dangerous. The two siblings didn’t listen so they got their canoes and paddled into the middle of the ocean. Suddenly midnight came by and the siblings mother was looking for them, but she never ever saw them ever again.

The two brothers were too dumb to believe the story so off they went and did the same mistake like the other two siblings did before. When they arrived at the middle of the ocean they just stopped and looked around until suddenly. They were dragged underneath the water by a hand that felt like gooey worms. They both screamed for help, but nobody heard them. After that they just disappeared.

After the two stupid brothers were gone there were these two boys called David and Sean. They had this feeling that something went wrong in the middle of the ocean. These boys weren’t any normal humans they were like spiritual ghosts that knew everything that happened. So they got a canoe and found a wooden stick and paddled fast to the middle of the ocean. When they arrived there, they felt clothes and shoes floating around. The two boys couldn’t see anything because they were blind. The two boys suspected that there was something underwater that needed to rise out from the ocean. So they both took a long deep breath and dived underwater and tried to feel something with their hands and body.

As they were feeling and touching around they found two bodies and they swam up with the bodies above the water. The two boys didn’t know what the bodies looked like, but they brang the bodies and other stuff out of the ocean. It turned out that the two boys that they brang out of the ocean was the two stupid brothers. The two stupid brothers were lucky to be brought back to life. After the two boys saved the two stupid brothers they disappeared into nowhere just like that. Since then, the two stupid brothers didn’t do anything wrong and silly and they were known as the smartest brothers ever known. The End.

Re-crafting

This week our literacy class have been working on re-crafting. It means that we work on a sentence or two and re-write it again, but in a descriptive detail sentence. Here is the presentation that shows what we wrote to make the sentence amazing.

Alphabet Addition

On week one my maths class had to work on our Alphabet Addition. The Alphabet Addition is when every letter equals a number and there are words that you have to find what the whole letters equal.Then you have to add them up and see what it equals. I have finished my Alphabet Addition and here is a photo of it.

About My Class

This year I thought I was starting school with a different teacher, but no I have the same teacher as last year. I like my teacher, but sometimes he's just not himself and that's not pretty. My class mates have been amazing since the last two weeks. They have been working hard to finish off what they started and just focusing on their work. The other thing like about my new class is that we communicate to each other nicely and we treat each other with respect. My favourite thing is how we all get together and do fun things with each other. I hope in the future we will do some more fun things together. This week we started switching into our Literacy and Numeracy classes and that was kinda tricky. Some of our class members are having a little bit of trouble being normal, but the others keep them on track. Here is a picture of my teacher and my class.

Maths Class

Since school has started on February the second our maths class has been learning how to rule our maths books properly. Today we have been learning about Statistics. I have learnt that Statistics means the study of gathering and analysing data. I can't wait for the new things were going to do for maths this year.
