Be Inspired...

 Welcome back everyone! This week for reading we learnt about what it means to be in a community. We looked at the good and bad things about being in a community. A man lived alone on an island for 30 years! 

We all made a poem inspired by the beatitudes, here is mine:

I hope you enjoyed reading my be poem. 

Thank you so much for reading my blog this week.

emotional literacy

hello  everybody! i hope your all well.  emotional literacy is being able to identify your emotions and being able to tell people about it. I found this task a challenge but i got there in the end. we had to do an emotional literacy task. here is the task for this week.

what makes you happy?

spiritual, social, physical and mental walls.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. This blog is about reading!

We have been reading about all of the different types of health. The different types are: Mental/emotional, social, physical and spiritual. These are also known as your 'health walls'. Your 'health walls' build a 'house' in your head, if one of your walls are knocked down (not going so well) then your whole house will be knocked over.

I made a poster about all the things that make me happy. It has snow, because I love snow. It has rain and lightning because I love it when it is stormy. It has the words friends and family because I have lots of friends that are really kind to me and I put my family because I love my family. It has a phone with the spotify loading screen because I love music. It has a plane because I travel a lot. It has two cats and a dog to represent my pets. I added in a paintbrush because i love painting!

Here is a reminder of the walls: Spiritual, social, physical and mental/emotional. The wall that I am most at peace at is spiritual. I need to work on my mental, social and physical.

Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you enjoyed.

What walls are you most at peace with and what ones do you need to work on?

A Feisty Feline Cancels Plane Trip!!!

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!! the goal for reading this week is 'revise and rework writing for clarity, impact and purpose'.  We had to choose 3 articles from Kiwi Kids News. I chose the following three: 

• Cats forces aeroplane to cancel trip
• Medsafe approves Covid-19 vaccine for over 12-year-olds
• China announces new three child policy

The first one is about a kitten who somehow managed to get into the cockpit. it attacked the pilots and the plane had to turn around.

The second one is about how Jacinda Ardern is most likely going to let 12 year olds get Covid Vaccines. 

The third one is about how China is making a 3 child limit. So parents are only allowed 3 children.

Here is my reading task:

I hope you enjoyed!

Thank you so much for reading my blog for this week and i hope you enjoyed every bit of it!! see you later!

Have you ever read off of Kiwi Kids News?

Do you think 12 year olds should get Covid-19 vaccines?

Would you want a 3 child policy?

What are your thoughts on the cats incident?

Map Making!

 Hello bloggers! The goal for this weeks math is 'communicate and interpret locations and directions, using compass directions, distances, and grid references.'

For this we had to choose a location on google maps and screenshot it. I chose margaret mahy playground. Then we put a grid over top of it and share it with one other class mate. I shared mine with Charlie Lingard. He had to find the locations I chose for him and write the coordinates down. Here is my create

He got all of them correct! 

I hope you enjoyed my blog and I will see you in the next post!

Whats your favourite place in your country?

If you had to choose one place in the world, what would it be?

Have you ever been to margaret mahy playground?

place value (multiplication)

hello everybody!

this week for math i had to do place value, but it was different. it was multiplication!

here is my create:

so we had to create two word problems, and mine were about animals because i couldn't think of anything else to do...

what was your favourite word problem? 

have you ever done place value?

What´s your favorite animal in New Zealand?

 Hello everyone! This week for math I had to do a statistical investigation. My question is What´s your favorite animal in New Zealand?

I got 26 people to answer the question. Here is my graph :)

i made it big so you can see it

i hope you enjoyed my graph.

I also made a slide so you can see more of it and what ´place' the animals came. 

if your wondering what a statistical investigation is, you think up a question (e.g what is your favourite cake flavour) and you write down your choices (e.g chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, other). you then go around and ask your question to people. you can have an aim, like i did. my aim was 25 and i asked 26 people. after you collect all your data, make a graph and customize it. 

I hope you liked my blog.

QUESTIONS

If you had to create a statistical investigation, what would your question be?

If you had one question, and the question was what is your favourite cake flavour, what would your flavours be?

Rescue Mission Ōnawe Pa!

Hello everyone. How are you? This week for maths we had to make a map and find Christchurch City Central, Ōnawe Pa and Kaiapoi Pa. We also had to measure the distance from the Kaiapoi Pa to Christchurch City Central, to the Ōnawe Pa. Here is a screenshot of my map measuring. 

The distance from Kaiapoi Pa to Ōnawe Pa is 70.2km. 

The coordinates for the Kaiapoi Pa is 43.225 south, and 172.392 east. For the Ōnawe Pa it is 43.774 south, and 172.925 east.

The reason the distance is so long is because we had to go through Christchurch City Central. We also had to make it realistic, so we couldn´t be floating through the water the whole time, or climbing up and down mountains and then going through water. 

The next thing we had to do was look at a map around Christchurch and try and figure out the coordinates to places. Miss Henderson gave us a location and we had to find it and then figure out the coordinates. I worked with Tash, make sure you check out her blog too!

Thank you for reading my blog. 

Have you ever visited a Pa before?

moving into Kaupeka (year 7 - 8)

 Moving into Kaupeka

hi guys! This year I moved into year seven. Now I am a real senior. I am in a new hub and I have never been in this hub before so it was rather scary. I am going to tell you how I got ready for school and how kaupeka is going so far. 

So on the first day of school I woke up at 6:09 A.M on the dot. I woke up and realized it was the first day of school. I opened my eyes as soon as I woke up. I sprung out of bed and woke up my twin sister. I then ran out to the kitchen and started to make my peanut butter bread. After I ate my peanut butter bread, I ran to my phone and got Clock set up. I sprinted to the bathroom and started my timer for 2 minutes. I brushed my teeth so hard because I wanted my breath to smell nice. Now the time was 6:14 I think. Then I got some spearmint flavored gum to make my breath smell even better. After that I got changed into my school uniform and I was vibing to Ariana Grande. After I got changed, I ran out to the kitchen to make my lunch. Now the time was 6:30. I made my lunch by about 6:45. Then my dad woke up. I was really anxious about going to school. I really didn't want to go. I could play on my phone until mom woke up. Mom woke up at around 7:30. I took the dog around the block and then I went right back on my phone. We left at around 8:00. I was so nervous.

In kaupeka, there is way more work than i expected. I usually can't finish my work by the end of the week.

pā week! :-)

hello everyone! this week at school it was pā week. you might be wondering what a pā is. a pā is a village type thing that your tribe lives in. it can also be a house. it is kind of like a fighting arena. 

we had to make an advertisement for a pā, like a home. here's my advertisement :). i also had to make a second advertisement with my buddy, Mimi. 

advertisement

i hope you enjoyed my ads.  

i have also completed my own pā. i did it with my friend Mimi. make sure you check out her blog too! we made views from the top and the side for extra detail and so it makes more sense.

top view

side view

we hope you liked our pā.

it was really hard to create the pā from the top. we had to add a lot of detail. i created the pā from the side on my own. i struggled at first, but then i got the hang of it. 

thanks so much for reading my blog.

The Mirror That Takes Us Back...

Hello! This week for writing i had to make a narrative. Our learning goal is: use a range of written features to engage the audience.

We had a selection of stories to write. Here are the links to the stories:

The Mirror In The Attic, Left Behind, Lightning Never Strikes Twice, Creature From The Deep.

Here is my narrative for this week:

The Mirror That Takes Us Back

It was the evening, just after dinner and Kate and Jess were going to their hideout in the attic. They dashed up the stairs and ran to their corner. Their attic was huge! Kate walked over to a corner and found a weird looking mirror. She called Jess over. They investigated it together. The floor had a thick layer of dust and the mirror had not one bit of dust. Not one tiny itty bitty piece of dust had landed on it. Hm, weird Jess thought to herself. 

Kate had an obsession of touching stuff when she was curious. So she touched the mirror. Then she got teleported to a new world. Then Jess touched the mirror and got teleported to the same world that Kate teleported to. 

Kate and Jess watch movies from the eighteen forties, and it looked like they were actually in the eighteen forties. Kate and Jess were stuck in the eighteen forties. They had to find a place to stay for the night. They tried calling their family but did they have phones in the eighteen forties? No. 

The girls walked around the neighborhood and found a shop. They realized, maybe they could go back to where they teleported and see if the mirror was there. There was no mirror It started getting dark and the city didn't have many houses. The girls gathered some wood from underneath a tree and made a tree house. That house broke. They decided to stay in a barn for the night. 

The next morning, the girls went to look around. After 3 hours of searching for a mirror, they found it. In a ditch. They kicked the mirror gently, at the same time and teleported back to their own world. Their parents were worried sick about them.

The End

i hope you liked my narrative. I had a limit of words, and that limit was 250 - 300 words. 

I hope you liked my blog and see you next time!

Did you like my narrative?

If you had to write a narrative out of the selections, what one would it be?
