We coded the bot again, but this time I coded it to go though a maze I made out of tape. It was difficult but I still managed to get it though. There's only one mistake/problem at the end the bot went onto the line, but next time I think I know how to fix it.

𝔸𝕣𝕥 𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕖𝕩𝕡𝕠 - 𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕞 𝟜 𝕚𝕟𝕢𝕦𝕚𝕣𝕪

On Friday we had the whole school walk around though classes admiring the art for our inquiry theme, art alive. I've never had a school art expo so this was a new experience for me. Every piece of art was beautiful and unique. 

We first went though team 4. Their classes were full of beautiful pacific patterns from Samoa, Niue and a few more islands. After viewing team 4's art works we went towards team 1.

There was a big difference of the art from the year 7's and 8's compared to the year 1's and 2's, team 1 had simple art but they were master pieces of colour. Some of the art they did was better than things I could do at their age. 

Personally my favourite art area was creative space. They did digital art, I always saw them working on bits and pieces of their art and during the expo I finally got to see the full art piece. 

Walking though team 3 we saw lots of admirable art. Like every other team we saw their art was amazing.

In team 2 we saw multiple art works, there were very nicely made hibiscus flowers, more pacific patterns and elephants with Indian patterns scattered on the elephants. I found everything they made beautiful. 

Everyone made great art works, I admired each and every art piece I saw. I loved seeing how much effort people put into their work. Good job everyone! :)

This week we've been focusing on writing cinquains. Cinquains are poems made with only 5 lines and 22 syllables. A cinquain is similar to the Japanese poem called haiku, but a cinquain is american. On the sixth slide is a slide with a few of my cinquains, I made some with the help of a friend.  

Alberto Giacometti

Alberto Giacometti

 

Alberto Giacometti was an artist who made different types of art. He was a sculptor, painter, draftsman and printmaker. At the time he made art most sculptures weren't as thin and skinny as Alberto's sculptures, Alberto made his sculptures skinny so they stood out from others, so there was something more eye catching and different. 

Biodiversity and biodiversity loss - Create task

While learning about biodiversity I made this poster to show what biodiversity is, what some of the causes to biodiversity are and what effects biodiversity loss can have on the world and it's environment. I wrote most of this using information I already knew, but I did have to do a bit of research. 

Loss of Biodiversity

WALT: identify the author’s purpose

This week we are learning about biodiversity and biodiversity loss. Biodiversity is the large variety of living organisms on earth. Unfortunately our biodiversity is decreasing, we have been learning more about how it is decreasing through out the world. During the amount of time we have been learning about this I have found out many things I didn't know before. 

Statistics and Probability

Statistics and Probability

Today for maths we did some slides on something we have already done. It was like a recap on statistics and probability. The maths today was quick and simple but still fun to do. 

Algebra everywhere

Today for maths we did some more algebra, and we graphed it as well. After finishing the slides Mrs Stone gave us a short pop quiz. I found this interesting as I have never actually done a little pop quiz kind of thing in class. 

Georges Seurat

Today we had our art rotations, this time we went to room 3. We learn't about Georges Seurat with Mrs Tele'a. Georges Seurat had a unique and time consuming technique, which was using either dots or short stokes like dashes. Not only that but he wouldn't mix the colours, he would only place the colours next to each other while our eyes mix the colours ourselves.  

Plastic pollution

 WALT: to organise our ideas into paragraphs

We have many environmental problems globally, but one of the most problematic and harmful environmental issues would be plastic pollution. Many people know that plastic pollution is a big problem throughout the world, yet people continue using and making plastic. As most of the world's population uses plastic it’s being made more, and more of that plastic ends up in our beautiful oceans. Those actions are causing plastic pollution to become an even bigger environmental issue that only a few thousand of us are dealing with properly. Plastic pollution in the world is so inferior we have an island of rubbish just floating in the sea. The most disappointing thing is that only a few of us are doing something about plastic pollution, it’s about time we all do something to help the environment. One simple thing you could do to commit to helping the environment is possibly using as many biodegradable plastic objects you can, as it can break down quicker than normal plastic.

Everyone knows how useful and beneficial plastic can be to us, but with those benefits also comes problems, and inconveniences. Plastic is durable, and that's convenient, but it’s also the main problem about plastic. The fact that it’s durable makes it harder to break down. It can take up to 1,000 years at most, and that’s only an estimate, it could possibly take longer. Once the plastic breaks down a bit it’s small enough for marine animals to eat, because of that the fish we eat are likely to have ingested plastic, meaning we are also eating plastic.

Plastic is used a lot in our daily lives. We use plastic so often that it seems like we need it, but we don’t. Instead of using single use plastic you could replace it with something else like maybe replacing a plastic water bottle with a stainless steel bottle. Another thing you could replace would be cosmetics. A lot of people don’t know that there are little pieces of plastic hidden inside a few cosmetic products. Those littles pieces of plastic are called microbeads. Fortunately microbeads have been banned in a few countries. 

Not every piece of plastic is single use. In Fact you can always use it again. Clean the plastic again and use it, don’t throw it away and get the same piece of plastic. If you use it again it doesn’t have to still have the same purpose. You can always repurpose the plastic by turning something like a water bottle into a vase, or pencil holder. Use your mind and be creative. Not only would you be helping the environment, but you could also entertain yourself creating something with the plastic.

Often we buy things with plastic that we don’t need, leaving you with left-over rubbish. You can avoid that necessary waste by refusing to buy the plastic in the first place. Instead of going to a store where things are new and packaged in plastic you can go to a second hand shop. I recommend going to a second hand shop because it’s already unpackaged, you would have no leftover plastic. Not only will it be ridding you of extra waste but it could also save your money. 

If you want to see the world restored to its original beauty, the best thing you could do is follow doing as many of the R’s as you can. Make sure you continue it even if it feels like you're not doing anything helpful, because in reality you are. You shouldn’t do it by yourself so tell your family and friends, so we can save the earth. 

Maths Mixture

Recently we learnt about Probability and Algebra. We had to find the rule in a number pattern we also revised a couple of things like finding the average and 24 hours time. Late this term we are going to have our maths test so its convenient we are practising things like this.

10 facts about Niue

Fakalofa lahi atu This week is Niuean Language Week. This year's theme is Lay the foundations - give rise to Vagahau Niue for generations. We had to create a poster with 10 interesting facts about Niue. Personally I found the one where James Cook called the island 'savage island' most interesting.

2.7 Ko wai ō hoa?

Today while the year 8's where at tech, we had our rotations. For our Te Reo rotation we learn't how to ask who your friends, teachers, and parents are. 

Vincent Van Gogh - Inquiry poster

Today we learnt about Vincent Van Gogh. Here is a poster of him with the information I learned.

Admirable Algebra 2

 

Today for maths our main focus was algebra. We also did a bit of angles for maths. I found this task quite enjoyable because it was difficult and a new thing for me. I'm glad I struggled with this task because I won't have been able to learn and understand it if I didn't make a few mistakes. 

Plastic pollution

For this week we read about plastic pollution, and the effect it has on life, specifically marine life. I quite enjoyed the text that we read, I learned a lot of where the pollution comes from, what it does to us as well as other creatures, and how we can help. Make sure you use the 3 R's it helps more then you think!

Effects of plastic pollution

Create task : Design a poster with appropriate images and captions to highlight the main causes and effects of plastic pollution

 

DLO - Cambodian myth and legend

This picture was the start of my animation of the Cambodian myth and legend of how rain, thunder and lightning came to be. This photo shows Lok Ta before he was about to gather his pupils to challenge them so he knew who to reward.

It is unfortunate that I couldn't finish my DLO on time, but next time I'll try to give you a proper animation.  

Te Reo - Lesson 7 - Kei te pehea te ahua o te rangi?

Today for Te Reo we learnt how to ask "What is the weather like today?" and how to reply to that for example I can reply to that question by saying something like "kei te whiti te ra te ahua o te rangi which means the weather is hot. 

Tuvaluan dance workshop

For the first 2 learning periods of school we learnt a Tuvaluan dance. Not only did we learn a dance but we also learnt facts about the island, and about it's cultural dance clothes and the cultural dances, as well as a few words to say in Tuvaluan. I found all of this interesting because I didn't know much about Tuvalu, I don't know how anyone could say they didn't like the workshop.

As we learnt about Tuvalu a lot of us noticed the it wasn't that much different to other islands like Samoa or Tonga. A lot of the words were quite similar in a way, because it was so similar in ways it was actually easier to understand. The most enjoyable thing for me was doing the dance. At first I got the moves wrong a lot but I got the hang of it and found out that it is actually very fun to do. I would like to do something like this again, soon hopefully. 

Volume - Cuboid

WALT: Calculate the volume of a cuboid.
For today's maths we had to work out the volume of a box without a lid. We got to pick the size of the box and create it, we were trying to find the largest volume.

This is my box. I found out that the volume of my box was 484 cm. The formula I used was height x length x width.

Volume = 484 cm ³
To get 484 as my volume I did 4 x 11= 44 x 11= 484 cm³

As I saw it...

                                                For this task we had to do some research about life on Captain James Cook's ship 'The Endeavour', as well as the life Maori people had on land. As we looked for information we found that there was more information about the British settlers than there was of the Maori people on NZ. This task was influenced by Maori language week. Today we completed the work in buddies! My buddy for today was Zaeeda she did most of the work while I helped out.

My culture - Being African and Samoan

I wouldn't be the person I am today without my culture. I have two different cultures to love and to learn. The Samoan and African blood runs in my blood.Being African and Samoan has given me two different perspectives of how to do things, and different ways to view the world.

Through the Samoan culture I've learn't different foods and cultural dances. From my African side I've learn even more recipes, the next thing for me to do is try making them. I've learn't lots more about life in both of the countries, giving me my own new perspective. 

I'm proud to be Samoan. I'm proud to be African. I'm proud to be me.

Maths warm up - Tapa cloth

This task is about working out dimensions and area of a tapa cloth.

Elisaia is measuring his tapa cloth.

Each small section is about 20cm by 15cm. 

20 x 6 = 120 cm

15 x 7 = 105 cm

120 x 105 = 12600 cm²

Area = 1.26 m ²

Perimeter = 45 cm

Conquering Fractions 1

Today during maths we went back to learning about fractions, decimals, a bit of measurements. We did equivalent fractions as well as adding and subtracting fractions and decimals. During this lesson I was reminded of how to make 2 fractions with different denominator have the same denominator.

Tongan language week

Starting from Sunday this week is Tongan language week. This week about celebrating the Tongan language and culture. The years theme for Tongan language week is Uike Kātoanga'i 'o e Lea Faka-Tonga. 

For people who don't know much about Tonga here a little information. Tonga is it's own little Polynesian kingdom of over 170 South Pacific islands, many of them uninhabited. Most of the islands are lined with beautiful white beaches and coral reefs and covered with tropical rain forest's. The main island of Tonga is Tongatapu. Tongatapu is protected by lagoons and limestone cliffs. Tonga is the home to the rural capital of Nuku'alofa, as well as many beach resorts, plantations and the Ha'amonga ʻa Maui, a monumental coral gate from the 1200s. 

Taha Tinana

Taha Tinana

What is Taha Tinana? 

Taha tinana is your physical wellbeing. This involves taking care of your body. To keep your physical health healthy you need to eat the right food, exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, make sure get enough sleep and stay hydrated. 

How is it affected by lockdown?

Being in lockdown can affect your physical wellbeing in many ways. The most obvious is that you won’t be going outside as often. You can still eat healthy food, drink water and get the right amount of sleep needed. 

How can you support your physical wellbeing?

One way you could support you health is to maintain your diet. If you eat too much junk food you slowly become more unfit. Taking walks or even jogging help build up strength and endurance in your legs.  

Taha whānau

Taha whānau

What is Taha whānau? 

Taha whānau is your social wellbeing. It involves your relationship with other people. You probably talk to at least one person a day which is apart of Taha whānau. Family and friends are often the people we socialise with most making your social wellbeing and bond with them stronger. 

How is it affected by lockdown?

Taha whānau can be affected in multiple ways in lockdown. You become closer with family as you are always with them making a strong connection between you and them. Being closed off in your house also can distance you from your friends, and relatives. During lockdown you can talk to people by phone closing off the distance in your relationship with others. 

How can you support your relationships with others?

Even if you have family overseas or other friends locked in their house you can support your connection with them by texting or calling each other. Don’t get too busy talking to others by phone because you still have your family. 

Before I forget 2.0

Today we had maths and during maths we recapped on the things we had learnt earlier in the year. We recapped Square, Square roots, Ratios, Fractions, and more. 

Famous Mathematicians - Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton

As this week is Maths week we are completing a series of Maths problems. Today was our first challenge we learned about famous mathematician, to solve a few problems. Everyone got split into groups with around 4-5 people. We weren't really with our close friends so this was a good way to talk to other classmates and learn to work together. 

Step Up 2021

This years Step Up Programme was a remarkable time! I'm very grateful that the teachers and staff gave us the opportunity to step up and out of our comfort zone. I feel like the year 7's for next year will find these activities just as fun as we did, but I think it could be better if we did some other activities.

We should definitely keep Mrs Moala's murder mystery, it's fun and mysterious it also gets people using their heads to solve the problem. I think doing the sports is fine but maybe we could do different sports, maybe the year 7's could suggest the sports they want to play a few weeks before so that the teachers can put it in the timetable. The activities are all fun so even if it's still the same next year I'm sure the year 7's will have an amazing three days.

Overall , these three days are really important for both the year 7's and year 8's. It's good for us to work together and have fun during those three days, and learn to step up.

My Highlights from the year 7 Step Up Programme

Last week from Wednesday to Friday the year 8's had camp, leaving the year 7's having a fun step up program at school. This step up programme for the year 7's were very fun and we learned many things, like how to work together even if we aren't the best-est of friends. We played many games and had a very enjoyable three days. I just wanted to say thank you to the teachers who planned all the activity's for the year 7's and 8's we all had a great time and many euphoric moments during that period of time.

I had many highlights but my favourite thing I did that week wasn't really apart of the year 7 Step Up Programme but I thought it would be nice to share that experience.

As the prefect's are year 8's they also went to camp so someone had to step up to fulfil their job of doing assembly. I was chosen to be 1 out of the 8 year 7 fill in prefects. It was a new experience for me where I had to step up. I learned how important it is to work together with others when doing this job. Luckily we all cooperated well and got the job done. Though this experience I also learned to try my best because you never know if you'll do a good job unless you try.

As I saw it... Captain Cook's arrival, crew, and the cause of the deaths.

Today during the morning period all of Room 4 learned about the arrival of Captain Cook and his crew, and how they murdered some people the same day they came. I worked together with my buddy, Madi to complete this task.

“Jackson, what are you doing? It’s past 11, you should be asleep!” Jackson could tell his mother was mad
by the tone of her voice. 

“I’m looking for my toy that I sleep with every night” Jackson’s mother sighs, as she knew that what she
was about to say to Jackson might upset him.

“Look Jackson, you're getting older now aren’t you? You’re already 7, it’s about time you stop sleeping with
that old, worn out toy” 

“NO! I CAN’T SLEEP WITHOUT IT!” His mother was heartbroken seeing him this way. He’s not usually like
that. She didn’t want him to throw a larger tantrum so she told him to look under his bed. With those words,
he ran to his room trying to find the toy he loved more than anything.He dropped himself slowly onto the
ground and leaned forward, head on the ground, only to find his toy and a glowing red, demon-like orb. The
intimidating looking orb didn’t scare Jackson, so instead, he became curious that he reached his arm out
to touch it. Instead of the orb attacking him, it disappeared but not into thin air. Little did he know the orb
disintegrated into small pieces enough to sneak under one of his tiny little wounds. Human blood is usually
blue inside our body but the orb turned his blood red inside and out…Jackson stanches the toy from under the bed, and rushes out of his room to the kitchen quickly but quietly. Nobody in the house seemed to notice him. He opened the second drawer and found a knife, it was a bit blunt so he looked through the other drawers and cabinets. 

“Found it!” He found the knife sharpener, but a knife sharpener isn't exactly quiet when you use it. The loud noise coming from the kitchen seemed to attract his mother’s attention.

“What are you doing?! You should be a-” She stopped herself from continuing to speak the moment she saw the knife Jackson was holding. Jackson walks towards the light switch. Flip! The lights were turned off, the only thing that could be heard throughout the house were her screams. Shortly after the screams the light was switched back on, only to reveal a murderous child and his dead mother with a blanket of blood covering them and the kitchen floor. Next thing that was heard was the ring of a phone, and his crying 4 year old sister… Soon enough sirens were heard. It was the sirens of the police and the ambulance. Jackson was too young to go to prison so got sent to juvenile prison. Jackson wasn’t there long as he was mostly in a mental asylum as he was becoming more of a psychopath as time passed. The reason he was sent to the mental asylum was because they people kept thinking he had a mental issue, but he was just possessed. No one knew Jackson was possessed, even Jackson didn’t know he was possessed, not yet at least. The demon within Jackson wanted to take revenge on Jackson’s father for trapping him inside these walls. 

As the years passed Jackson was losing control over his own actions and his own body, everything he did was everything the demon forced him to do, the demon did all of that out of envy. It was envious of the freedom humans had, it wanted to kill happy families as the demon can’t ever feel happiness. The demon basically trapped Jackson inside a body, his own body but it didn’t feel like it was his to him. After many long years in the asylum Jackson was set free, back into the world he had wished to see years ago. Little did the people know that sending him out was a big mistake. The first place he checked was their old house, but it has been years so they most likely moved, but it was still worth a try. By the time he arrived he realised there were 4 people in the house, when there should only be 2 people. That was a big clue that it wasn’t Jackson's family. He still went in to ask if they knew where his father and sister moved to, but the demon said something different. The demon wanted to kill them out of anger because they didn’t know where they went. For all Jackson knew they could be in Antarctica and he wouldn’t know. The lights went out, and the screams were loud as this was the last moments of their lives. The lights switched back on as Jackson’s job there was done. Many long months passed before Jackson found his surviving family members. Many innocent people were murdered during those long months, all out of frustration. 

Knock! Knock! Knock! 

“Pizza delivery!~” The door opened revealing Jackson’s not so little sister anymore. She opened the pizza box just to find a knife coated in blood. Before she could ask about it, Jackson stabbed her in her stomach and slit her throat unwillingly. Tears rolled down his face, as her blood poured onto the ground, like a spilt drink. One by one his tears flooded down his face from his eyes. He was hesitant but still went upstairs to finish the job. He wipes his tears as he tries to find his father's bedroom.

As I saw it... Mrs Stone's missing cupcake

Today during lunch break we realised Mrs Stone's cupcake went missing. So we are now trying to figure out who the culprit is. This work it to help us see each others perspectives, and hoping help us solve the crime.

Immersion Assembly Term 3

On the first day back at school for term 3, the we found out what our theme for this term's inquiry is. Our theme is 'A World of difference'. At the Immersion Assembly Mr Burt and a few other teachers, like Mr Somervile told us a bit about their culture, or family history. The other teachers, the teachers who didn't share something about themselves (most of the teachers) showed us what each team will be doing for the term. We will basically be learning about different countries, places, culture, foods etc, from all around the world, or from right here in NZ.

Team 1 had a movie to display what they would be doing for A World of difference. It was about children wondering how other kids in the world get to school, or what they eat for lunch, or what they like to do after school.

Team 2 recreated Dora the explorer in New Zealand. Dora and Boots, had to travel though out New Zealand to get to Queensland. Thanks to the help of Dora's handy map they made it to their destination, and went skiing with the ski's backpack gave Dora.

Team 3 had their very own episode of the amazing race. They stopped at each of the seven wonders of the world. I assume that Team 3 are going to be having their own fun little race around the world though their research. 

Team 4's movie had a lot of food involved in it. The movie was about where the food they were eating originally came from, one of the examples was sushi and the fact that is originated from Japan. They had many delicious foods from different places.

Team 5's item was different from the others. The teachers put on a little play. The play was of the legend of Sina and the eel. Mrs Iloa acted as Sina, and Mrs Tele'a played the roll of the eel. They acted that out because we are learning about myths and legends. It was a very entertaining show! That's one of the reasons why it's my favourite item's that day.

Paul Bunyan

We recently looked at another myth. This time we looked at a Tall Tale from America. This story, is about a lumberjack who is really tall and has done many great things. This includes the creation of many great land marks, like the Grand Canyon, Great Lakes and 10,000 lakes! Me and my buddy, Zaeeda worked together to complete this work task, on Paul Bunyan. We found this quite interesting and a bit difficult, but we made it in the end. 

Cambodian Myth - Match 'em up activity

Today we are learning about the Cambodian Myth of lightning, thunder, and rain with Mrs Iloa. We watched a short video about the Myth. Shortly after watching the video we had to put the right picture and words in the box they belong in. Under the match 'em activity I wrote what happened after they got their gifts, and why its the myth of lightning, thunder and rain.

The Myth of Hermes

Today in Inquiry we learnt about myths from ancient Greece. We learnt about the gods, the creation myth and then we learnt the story of Hermes. 

~Term 2 Reflection~

Home experience:

This term wasn't the most normal term, in fact this whole year hasn't been very normal so far. It's been quite the weird year, but to me that's what made this term a bit more interesting than other terms. By a bit more interesting I mean to say that because of the situation the world has been in there were many changes made for us to still be able to learn during that time. One of the changes would be starting the term online, and at home. It was a new experience for not only me but probably other student as well. In my honest opinion I found doing school online quite fun, more fun then I thought it would be, mostly because we had a bit of time to sleep in before joining the google meets. 

School experience:

Coming back to school was different. The desks were apart instead of it being in a cluster which we would call a table, we didn't have assembly's anymore, and we weren't allowed to hug or touch each other. At first it was difficult to not hug my friends when I saw them, but as a few days past by I became accustomed to it. Luckily the covid-19 cases came down and it was level 1. We could get close to each other again! Slowly the desks came closer together, it still isn't that cluster of desks we would consider a table but that's because we as a class choose to share two desks between two people. During this whole term we would work hard and play hard. Because our class work pretty hard during this whole term we played a few games every now and then. We mostly played Kahoot and Silent ball, but we did do more activities like hand soccer. 

Overall experience:

This term was a unique, interesting, weird and fun term. 

Highlights:

I can think of many different highlights, like skateboarding for kiwi sport, or coming back to school and seeing my friends and teacher, or having Joseph Parker speak a few words at our assembly. I think of the whole term as my highlight. The only thing I didn't like was the situation that we had to make the changes for. I wish we made those changes for a different and less sad situation.

Fractions level 2.21

For maths we were doing fractions. We mostly focused on finding equivalent fractions but we did work out mixed and improper fractions as well. I used to take the long way to solve equivalent fractions, but now I know it's just better to just multiply or half it, which is what I have done for this. Honestly I struggled with adding the fractions, but I got the answer with a bit of help from Miss Stone's little lesson.

Fractions level 2.1

Today for maths we were doing fractions. We mostly focused on finding equivalent fractions but we did work out mixed and improper fractions as well. I honestly found this lesson quiet interesting when it came to the equivalent fractions, because I learnt a new way to find the equivalent fraction. Before I would take the long way to solve equivalent fractions, but now I know it's just better to just multiply or half it.

Terrific Transformations

Today during the maths period, we where learning about enlargement, lines and order of symmetry, and reflections. We learn't a bit about each of those transformations.

Naughts and Crosses

This week we have been reading about protests and movements. Today we read two chapters from Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. Check out my slides to learn about my opinion of the text.

Women's Suffrage

Today we looked at protests in New Zealand and different ways that protests happened. We also looked at the few different protests that went on throughout history. Protests are a great way to get attention and stand up for what you believe in.

Great Geometry

Today for the short amount of time we had for maths, we made our own 3D shapes, and looked at some geometry.

This is just to say...

My Cupcake Description.

The sweet taste of the chocolate icing is overwhelming, and the face of the cupcake taste as good as it looks. Everything about the cupcake taste great. When I think about the taste I just keep thinking yum!

Sweets treats advert

This is my advert I made for my sweet chocolate cupcake that I've made in class. This is the first time that I have made an advertisement of mine, so it was very new to me. I still found this to be a fun and new experience. 

Witchcraft and Theories

Ever since we've been back in school and in room 4. We have been working on a inquiry task of our choosing. I worked with Zaeeda on this task and at the end we researched witches, mostly the Salem witch trials. When we finished we presented it to the class and had a pretty entertaining discussion about it. Along with that me and Zaeeda dressed up with a witch hat to show to give attribution to people killed in the salem witch trials because it was a massacre of innocent people.

Te Reo (Days and months)

Today while the year 8's went to tech, I stayed with the rest of the year 7's at school doing Te Reo and sports. This is the Te Reo work I have done today. We learn't how to say the different months and days, and how to use them in a sentence or question.

3D shapes

Today during the maths period we made our own 3D shapes using pipe cleaners and straws. I made a heptagonal prism that has 9 faces, 14 vertices, and 21 edges.It was quite difficult to make the shape but I still had fun and learnt lot's about 3D shapes.

Different triangles

Today we've learn't about right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles, and an reflex angle. I learn't that a right angle is 90 degrees, and an acute angle is less than 90 degrees, if it's more than 90 degrees then it's a obtuse angle. If it goes pass 180 degrees than it's considered a reflex angle. I also learn't about the different triangles, like an Isosceles triangle or a scalene triangle. An Isosceles triangle has only two angles and two equal sides. A scalene triangle has no equal sides nor angles.

The water cycle

Today we've learnt a bit about the water cycle, and what each stage is called. First it's evaporation, next is condensation, after that is precipitation. There's also Sublimation and transpiration.

Washing your hands

This weeks literacy work has been about washing your hands. I've read a text on the best way to wash your hands, and I've done a summary. I wrote my steps on how to wash your hands based on the text I read. This is just some of the work I have done this week, I can't wait to share more!

The Quadrilateral

Today during the maths block we had looked at quadrilaterals, parallel shapes/lines and I bit on angles. We also did a quiz and recap on polygons. I've learnt quite a few things that I didn't know before from this lesson. It was a great way to expand my knowledge.

Healthy Food : How to make sushi

Today we had to share a healthy meal with you guys as it is apart of Taha Tinana (Physical health). This is a simple recipe on how to make sushi, you could try this at home whenever you'd want to. It doesn't take long to make, it's quick and easy. Sushi is one of my favourite foods, so I hope you enjoy as much as I do! :)

Polygon

Today we have used tooth picks to create different shapes like a triangle, pentagons, and more shapes. We also learnt more about what makes a polygon a polygon. After using the tooth picks we had to go and make our own shapes using a dotty grid, in this slide it shows that the shape I made has 5 side, 5 vertices, and 5 angles it's also a convex shape. One of the new things I have learnt today is the meaning of polygon, in Greek poly means many, and gon means angle.

Journal Of A Survivor.

CRASH! The plane has landed but in the roughest way possible, only one person has survived. Questions roam wildly in my head. Where am I? What happened? Is anyone else alive? Is this even real? I aimlessly walk around hoping to find something or someone that could help me survive, or to even get me out of here. Good news I had found some food on the plane, bad news everyone around me was dead, everyone but me. I had to survive all on my own…

I roamed around like an idiot. Scavenging for more food. All on my own, I was having a mental breakdown, but I had many reasons to after all I was in a jungle alone without knowing how to get out, and on top of that I got chased by different animals almost everyday, it was mostly monkeys. They drive me bananas. Once a panther was chasing me I’m just lucky to be alive right now. I was going mental because of these animals, if they couldn’t tell I could have gone mental on my own, but they just had to help go crazy.

This is the one morning I’ve woken up peacefully, and I thought it wasn’t going to stay like that so I didn’t get my hopes high. But today was a quiet day with no animals chasing me for once. At this point I thought today was a dream, and that it couldn’t get any better. That had just proved me wrong. I got much better, in fact I had found a jackpot of food on the plane, and even someone's empty notebook. I decided to use it as my own journal, you know in case someone found this place and I’m dead… At Least they would know someone survived, right?

DAY 1 : Technically it’s not my first day here so I guess it’s actually day 9 :


I know it’s a bit late to start a journal right now but I’m doing it anyway. Today seems like it’s going to be my one lucky day, because so much has happened, for one I found my new journal. I’m also not being chased by a monkey or something like that, and I hit the jackpot on food from the plane. So many more things have happened as well. But it would be too much for me to write, because writing can be tiring. 

After that day I would write in my journal everyday it was the only thing that kept me from going insane. Even if I get found, or escape this place I won’t stop writing in it until all the pages are full. I wrote in my journal everyday whenever I could. It helped me stay sane enough to survive for as long as I did. After around 50-ish days in that jungle my life will never be the same. That’s a once in a lifetime experience.


I wrote this based on my other short story call mental survivor. This has a similar story line to mental survivor expect the main character doesn't go crazy.
