Angles

 This week I have been learning about different types of angles. Learning this
tasks was a bit difficult for me because I don't understand the differents between
each angle.

Facial Expressions

In Inquiry class we have been learning about Facial emotions. Our task today
was to use the 6 emotions and finds music that goes with those emotions.
                  This presentation explains what we did today.

Math Problem 2

WALT: Solve measurement, algebra and fraction. This week we have been
solving different equations about Addition squares, Perimeter, Measurement,
Algebra, Fractions and Bedmas. The task was solve in many different ways.
The easiest equation was all of them because I am familiar with these equations.

Maths Problems

This week we have been learning about B.E.D.M.A.S which means Brackets,
Exponents,Division,Multiplication,Addition and Subtraction. When solving
a B.E.D.M.A.S equation, you have to follow the steps of Bedmas. That's how
                                    you solve your answer.

Athletics day

Last week on Friday the 10th of November we had our school Athletics held on the school field. We were lined up in girls and boys line in years 1 - 8 ready to start off our day. Everyone was dressed in their team colours, even the teachers were dressed. To start of the day we started with a prayer then a korero. After a couple of minutes waiting we were dismiss to go and start our first station.

First the year 8 girls attended the javillian station. Everyone tried their personal best. Watching all the other girls have a try made me have the chills. Waiting anxiously for my turn. Eventually it was my turn to have a go. The javillian didn’t go as far as I wanted but at least I did my personal best. Time went on and the hooter went for us to move stations.  

My least favourite station was the tug-o-war because the green team which I’m in kept on losing from the other teams. Plus it’s sore when you pull the rope towards you when you're playing against other teams.

My Favourite highlight of the day was the relay which we had at the end. The first relay we had was against all the team colours, Hokule'a green, Hikianalia yellow, Hine moana blue and Te Aurere red. The yellow team came 1st, blue 2nd, green 3rd and red 4th. The second relay was against the students, teachers and parents. Us students were the champion of that relay followed by the parents and then teachers. We ended the day off well. After watching the relay I was breath less because it was a close game.

This year’s Athletics was really fun and memorable. Even tho I didn’t places anything I still did my personal best. This was my final athletics at Pt England school and it turned out to be wonderful. No matter what keep on going.

Guy Fawkes Poster

This is the second part of my task for my reading work. It is a poster about
                                          Guy Fawkes day.

Guy Fawkes day

I have been learning information about Guy Fawkes day and why we celebrate it.
For more information check out this presentation.

Fractions

We are learning to use different strategies to solve maths problem.

Fraction problems

WALT: identify fractions: part of a whole. I have been learning about fraction
equations. The shaded boxes tells you the amount of numbers that are in the
numerator. The amount of boxes in the line all together is the amount that
gives you the answers to the denominator of the fractions.

Hearty Facts W3 & 4

I have been learning to find information from the text to find the answers.

Launching your Future

Today we had a guest speaker, Mr Patterson come and talk to us about launching your future. He talked about the word A + I = M which stands for aspiration, Inspiration and motivation. This means Aim for success. We learnt to be a giver instead of being the person who likes to take and think about themselves.

One of the story Mr Patterson discuss with us was about a 11 year old student from Manurewa Intermediate who found a homeless man crying beside the Lea bank shop. He stopped by to see if he was okay. The homeless man respond saying that he lost he's job, his marriage and had no where to stay.  Uili the 11 year old student gave the homeless man his lunch money and lunch for two weeks without telling anyone. Everyday Uili would visit the homeless man. One day the homeless man walked to school with Uili and told the school about the kindness he had been doing. Uili was rewarded with a golden certificate which is only handed out once a year for the kid who does the most kindest thing. 

We talked about what our dream job would be in the future. You have to set a goal for you to succeed. If you want something you have to work hard and earn it. What do you want to be in the future?

Multiplication and division

We are learning to multiply in parts (using larger numbers). This week I have
 been solving Multiplication and division problem. This presentation examples

Piper In The sand Wk1 & 2

WALT: I can condense the ideas and paraphrase in my own 
words. This task is to learn how to explain what we read. 

Add decimals

This task is about adding decimals into a whole number. I worked this out in
my maths book to show my working out.

Problem solving

This week tasks we learnt about word problem. I solved this by using Addition,
                      Multiplication, Subtraction and Division.

Room 5’s Review - Cybersmart

Room 5’s Review - Cybersmart

This is a movie about Pt england student from Room 5 being cybersmart . The key message behind the scene is to be cybersmart at all time and being on the right site on our devices. This is also a message to students to not bring their phones to school. This isn’t appropriate for student  being it will be a distraction towards school learning. This movie is about simon being dodge on his phone during school. Simon, Tamauri, Henry and Taiaha where caught by a group of girls ( Presayus, Rowana, Koula and Allahazy) and  been sent to the teacher Mrs Fosita (Uli) They were put on Rethink. The lesson behind the scene was to be cybersmart.  

The lighting in the film was not consistent because some parts of the scene was dark and some were light. The camera shots were  appropriate because the shot were low and the some shots were fast forward so that it can be more entertaining. The type of camera they used was a video camera. They should've of used a drone because it will look more like a real movie.

We could hear the dialogue of 11 different characters in the scene. The script did not help describe the story well. I think if there was no tile the it won’t describe the script because younger kids won’t understand words like ‘ Gap it eah and

Facing my Fear

                               Facing my fear

OMG!! As I watched the Stratosfear ride swing back and forth I was terrified and entertained at the same time. I was in the line to have my turn  when I saw the ride flip upside down. I was anxious at the same time I wanted to face my fear. It was my turn to go on so I quickly hopped on and buckled my seat belt.

The ride began starting with a slow pace. All of a sudden something bad, really bad made a loud rumble. I was going to explode. The ride went higher and higher in slow motion when, I spewed out colorful things which you don’t need to know. I felt so sorry for the people who were watching. Ohh my gosh!! I noticed that I was upside down. I panicked and screamed then panicked and screamed.

My friend’s mum was also on the ride and made sure If was scared I would hold her hand really like really tight.  I felt sorry because I was squeezing her hand so tight her veins were popping out.  My blood was rushing down to my head as it felt like it was going to explode.  The ride was starting to go slower and slower. It was finally done. My legs were like jelly that was going to collapse. I really didn’t want to go back again.

Word Problem W8 Term 4

This task is about word problem. The strategy I used to solve the questions were
                            Timetable, Division and subtraction.

Week 6 Think borad Term 4

This week's task we are learning about decimals by using any kind of way to solve it.
                    I used partitioning to solve this problem.

Hauora - Attitude talk

This term we had the opportunity to have Paula to come and talk about Attitude.
One of the main part I picked up from the talk was Assume the Best until you're
 proven wrong. This mean's think more of positive things then negative. For
example if your friend ignore you for the whole day then it may mean there
planing a surprise for you. Think more of the positive!!!
