Attitude talk - Puberty

Earlier today we had attitude talk about puberty. The special person who had talked to us girls was Jannah. Thanks to her short stories and fun games we all enjoyed this experience and learnt a lot. I hope the year 7's and 8's of next year can meet Jannah and have fun with her attitude talks. Jannah also told us to always believe in ourselves and that we have value so let that stick with you because I know I will always remember that.

Thanks Jannah for giving us and entertaining yet informational puberty talk, I'm sure all the year 7 and 8 girls enjoyed it! :)

Mrs Stone and baby Ruby :)

 Earlier this morning all of Team 5 had a meet with a special guest. Mrs Stone and her beautiful baby Ruby had joined a meet with us. She was so cute! :)

Each class got to talk to Mrs Stone and ask as many questions as we wanted. Since Mrs Stone was originally Room 4's teacher we got to spend extra time with her. It was fun to see her again and with her baby. Room 3 even sang Ruby 'twinkle twinkle little star'. I think it was a great way to start the day, I'm sure everyone was happy to she Mrs Stone again. 

DIMIC task - Cycling

 Hello, welcome or welcome back to my blog. 

Although today we didn't have a maths meet I decided to do this short and quick little DIMIC task. I solved them differently but with the same thinking, just doubling the number (as he goes twice on the same route) and multiplying it by the amount of days. 

Bryde's whales

Hello! Welcome or welcome back to my blog.

Today we had an extension meet where we continued talking about one of the endangered whale species in NZ, the Bryde's whale.

I found 3 interesting facts on the whales to share with you along with a few things we can do to stop their population numbers going down. I found out that one of the main causes of death are collisions with big ships, plus some of them get impaled on a ship's bow and dragged into port. With less ships around they would be in less danger. A more simple solution that anyone and everyone can do is to keep our environment clean by doing little things like picking up rubbish.

5 Facts about Tuvalu's history

Talofa, this week is Tuvalu language week so I've been doing some short and simple tasks based on Tuvalu. Today I did some research on the history of Tuvalu and found these interesting facts to share with you all.  

Phone advert - literacy poster

During a recent literacy meet, we were given the task to make simple and persuasive advertisements in the form of a poster. I had to pick an object of person in my house to advertise, I choose to use my phone for this task. 

I hope you like the poster and leave a positive comment. :)

All about me poster

Earlier this week we made a cybersmart challenge. Everyone in Room 4 each made a poster about themselves with things like their culture, pets, family and their favourite things. This is my poster with my favourite anime's to watch, my favourite groups to listen to and my lovely family.

I recommend going on some of Room 4 blogs to learn more about them, be sure to leave a postive comment too! Bye :)

Controversial Topic : Extension T3

 

During today's extension lesson we began talking about the Tokyo Olympics and some controversial topics about it. I worked with Aye, Simon and Valessa to make this set of slides. We are still adding ideas so I'll update this later. Have a great week everyone, check out their blogs and leave a nice comment!

Dame Valerie Adams

This terms inquiry focus is healthy me, healthy you so we are doing different rotations learning about Olympians and the Olympic games. Today in Room 4 we learned more about Valerie Adams. This is a poster to show just a few things I learnt and already knew.

Term 3 - Immersion assembly

Since today is the first day of a new term the whole school gathered for an immersion assembly. The main topic for this term is 'healthy me, healthy you' so we will be focusing on our health.
Out of all the performances my favourite was the one our team 5 teachers did. They made they're very own Olympics on stage, and entertained everyone. The other performances were just as good and explanatory. 

The countries that we had participate in our team 5 Olympics were U.S.A, Australia and of course New Zealand. The first performance was by Australia (Miss Hill) her score was a 2 and 3, but although she failed she gave us a reflection on how she could improve which is one of the reasons its my favourite. There's always something you can improve so keep trying. :)  

Every teams focus is very similar, with the main focus being our bodies and keeping ourselves happy and healthy.  

Moon - Art work

When working with Mrs Stone yesterday we learn't about the moon, and created our very own moon too. My favourite fact I learned was that the moon is Earth's only natural satellite, I included this fact in my animation. We talked a lot about the moons appearance and how it is covered in craters which were caused by asteroids.

While making the moon everyone realised how hard it was to glue the tissue to the paper to create the craters. The painting was fun though and much easier because the glue was dried up.

My Watch This Space animation

This term we have been learning about 'watch this space' this is my animation for it, it's kind of short and not completely finished but I still wanted to share it with you all. I hope you enjoy it.

Writing challenge

The goal for this writing challenge was to write a 6 sentence story about the pictures above which were of a busy road, a gorilla and a pink tutu. We also had to use the word shock/shocked as well as speech marks and an exclamation mark. 

Me and my group - Simon, Alrida and Tahliyah - all wrote our own versions of the same idea we shared, this was the version we all agreed to present.

---

Tutu, the most beautiful gorilla of them all, had been kicked out and left on the streets to starve. On the busy streets, Tutu had done multiple performances in his bright, hot pink, tutu to earn himself some money. 

There was this one expensive-looking car, with a rich-looking man exiting. The man walked up to Tutu giving him $10,000 while saying ‘nice tutu’ after the man said that he stole his tutu.

“I’M GONNA WEAR THIS TUTU FOREVER, IT MAKES ME MORE BEAUTIFUL!”

Tutu was shocked by his actions and cried for he was no longer Tutu if he didn’t have a tutu.. 

:(

A speech on why we shouldn’t do speeches

Hi, my name is Nadia and I present to you my speech about not doing speeches. I’ve got a question to start things off: How many people here even like writing a speech?

Well it’s often difficult for people to produce an idea or topic they are confident enough to talk about, plus there’s sometimes the stress of a deadline. I’m talking from experience. 

To the people who do like writing a speech, do you like presenting it in front of others? If you do, I find you weird, don’t take it personal though. Some people can get anxiety or stage fright from public speaking so doing speeches isn't very pleasant for them.

I know I don’t seem like that type of person but even some of the most famous people are bound to get nervous. I mean look at me, even I’m nervous. *flips non-existent hair* But it's always good to step out of your comfort zone every now and then, it’s just better if you decide when and how.

Anyways, I’d like to thank you for listening to this speech, on not doing speeches. 

---

This is my speech. I choose to write it about not doing speeches. The task was to write and speech and present it to the class. We had a time limit where it had to be between 50-60 seconds. 

3.6 Ki te aha?

 3.6 Ki te aha?

Today as the year 7's were off at tech we - year 8's - did our rotations again. I'm in group Toru so we did our DLO first, which I hope I can finish and put on my blog soon. Then we did multi sport which was fun, and last was Te Reo. We learn't how to say were we are going and why we are going there.

KPMG visit

This Wednesday the extension and few extra children were invited to visit the KPMG building. We had to come early because we left the school at 9am and came back by around 2pm.

During the KPMG trip we learnt lots of things about Earth and the 4 elements - earth, water, air and fire. After talking about each of those elements we were split up into 4 different groups. I was in the fire group along with Aye, Simon, Valessa, Adriana, Finau and Yolanda (check out their blogs if you like). Every group did an experiment based on the element of their group, so we used a bit of fire for ours.

At first we found the experiment tricky because no one knew what to do, but with a few clues we figured it out. Although we did have a little mishap but no one was hurt or burnt. We were supposed to make a paper spinning wheel actually spin, but here's the catch, we weren't allowed to touch it.

The way we did it was by sticking a pencil to the table - with glue tack - and balancing the paper on the tip. Honestly that was probably the hardest bit. After it was balanced we put some lit candles underneath using the hot air to spin the paper, making the experiment a success! :)

We did a few more fun activities as well, I'd love to visit again. Thanks for making this an enjoyable trip!

Thinking Critically

Today we were supposed to have maths but that was replaced by a literacy lesson about thinking critically.

Perfect Perimeter

Today's maths lesson was mainly about area and perimeter. We also did a bit of a recap on fractions and decimals.  

Mars Information report

Mars Information report

The terrestrial planet Mars used to have a past like Earth; the surface covered in water. All that water is said to be frozen now. Mars has never and probably won’t have as much life as Earth anytime soon, but who said we couldn’t try? 

You can read further for more information on Mars’ formulation and its current status.

Mars current status

Mars - otherwise known as ‘The Red Planet’ - is covered in its iron-rich dust. The dust makes the landscape of the planet appear red. All that dust covers 144.8 million km² of ground. 

Like Earth, Mars is in the habitable zone where it’s not too far from the sun, but not too close to it either. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, being the next planet behind Earth.

Unlike Earth, Mars has two moons, not one. Phobos is Mars' closest orbiting moon, it orbits 3,700 miles - 6,000 km - from Mars’ surface, and only takes 8 hours. Phobos is smaller than our full moon by about a third.

Mars’ other moon - Deimos - takes 30 hours to orbit. The name Deimos comes from ancient Greek mythology. He was the son of Ares and Aphrodite, along with Phobos, his twin brother. Deimos was the personification of terror, his name meaning dread.

Over the past few years Nasa has been sending machines called a rover to Mars. So far they’ve already sent five, each one having a name. The names of the five rovers are: Sojourner, Spirit and Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance.

These rovers have a specific job which is to roam on the surface of Mars. Their main objective is to search for and characterize a variety of rocks and soils that hold clues to past water activity. It also helps scientists understand the different parts and places on the planet. 

As of June 2021 all the rovers have died but Curiosity. They all managed to do as tasked though. Curiosity is still up and working around Mars. It’s currently been active since its landing; making it 3143 sols (3229 total days; 8 years, 307 days) old/active. 

Mars’ formulation 

In the past about 4.5 million years ago, the solar system setted into the layout it is currently in. Dust and swirling gas was pulled in by gravity creating Mars; the fourth planet in the solar system. Like all the other terrestrial planets Mars too, has a central core, rocky mantle and a solid crust. 

Mars’ dense core is made out of iron, nickel, and sulfur. The core sits at its center about 930 and 1,300 miles (1,500 to 2,100 kilometres) in diameter. 

Researchers have found out - after analyzing for about three years - that Mars’ core has not been cooled to a solid iron completely. Instead the core's interior is made up of a completely liquid iron core or a liquid outer core with a solid core inside.

Covering up Mars’ core is its mantle. It’s been said that Mars’ mantle is about twice as rich in iron as the Earth’s mantle. The mantle is primarily made up of silicon, oxygen, iron, and magnesium. The mantle is approximately 770 to 1,170 miles (1,240 to 1,880 km) thick, that is according to NASA.

In Mars’ earlier years, the surface was discovered to maybe have possessed liquid water that covered the entire surface. The water was approximately equivalent to half the volume of the Atlantic Ocean, the water was perhaps up to nearly a mile (1.5 km) deep.

Conclusion

This red planet still has a long way to go for there to be life. But when there is, wouldn’t it be cool to live there?

Dazzling Decimals

We are learning to add and subtract up to three decimal places.

We are learning to convert between fractions, decimals and percentages.

What is 244/1000 as a decimal? 0.244

What is 55/100 as decimal? 0.55

What is 12/1000 as a decimal? 0.012

What is ½ as a decimal? 0.5

What is ¼ as a decimal? 0.25

What is ⅕  as a decimal? 0.2

What is ⅛ as a decimal? 0.125

0.45 + 0.42 = 0.87

0.56 + 0.17 = 0.73

0.67 + 0.91 = 1.58

0.555 + 0.014 = 0.569

0.7 - 0.45 = 0.35

0.55 - 0.45 = 0.1 

0.76 - 0.29 = 0.47

2.5 - 0.78 = 1.72

1.7 - 0.999 = 0.701

0.934 - 0.244 = 0.69

0.944 - 0.119 = 0.825

50/100 = 50%

1/10 = 10%

0.4 = 40%

0.05 = 5%

0.9 = 90%

Why Does Matter Matter?

 Why Does Matter Matter?

1.  The three basic properties of matter are Volume, Mass, and Shape.

2.  All matter is made up of tiny particles called Atoms.

3.  Volume is the amount of space that matter takes up.

4.  Mass is the amount of shape an object has.

5.  Liquids take the shape of their container.

6.  Gases do not have a definite shape or volume

7.  Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume.

8.  Solids have a definite shape and volume.

9.  A chair and ice are examples of solids.

10.  Milk and juice are examples of liquids.

11.  Oxygen and helium are examples of gas.

12.  Solid ice is melting when it is changing into a liquid.

Diorama design plan

 

Today's extension task was to create a plan for our space diorama. We kept the design plan simple and easy to follow. We've planned to basically make the solar system with a few facts and theories. I've been working on this with Aye and Valessa. 

Decimal Fractions

 

Today we have learned how fractions and decimals relate. I only did both levels 1 and 2 but I hope you enjoy :)

The Jacket - Part 1

 

Recently in literacy we've been reading a book called 'The Jacket'. This first part is about two boys getting into a fight over a Jacket. Phil - the taller boy at the back - thought that Daniel - the other boy on the cover - stole his little brothers jacket, so conflict arose. 

Fiafia Night

Last night the whole school had Fiafia night. I could see that everyone was having lots of fun - me included. I loved seeing every groups performance and performing myself. I was in choir so we sang. If I were to do something different last night I would have been louder and sang with my head up.

If I were to choose a favourite group performance I would pick the Samoan group. They did a great job - In fact everyone did a great job - and they finished off the night beautifully. 

Good job at Fiafia everyone!

Smashing Fractions

 

For today's maths we did fractions. We did equivalent fractions, improper fractions and mixed. The revision was a mix of the three and addition and subtraction. After doing the revision slide I moved onto level 2.5, I honestly found it quite easy but when I did the level 3 slide I struggled. But it was still fun and it made me realise what I could do. 

Theories on our Solar System

During extension today me, Aye and Valessa continued our work about theories on our solar system. The slides aren't finished yet but this is what we've got so far. 

Y8 Reflection/Recount- Camp - Day 1

Day 1

Last week, Wednesday, the year 8’s headed off to camp. On the ride to camp there was chatting and singing from the back to the front of the bus. Everyone was happy, and even more when we arrived.

We were split into our groups - Thames, Coromandel, Kauri and Kauaeranga - and given face paint, a different colour for each group. I was in Thames and our colour was yellow. After everyone in the teams had paint on their face we went to the gymnasium, it was huge.

Inside the gym each group made a team chant, played fun games and we all came together to have a dance battle and show off our chants. Often Thames would place second, but it didn’t matter because we had lots of fun.

The games were like a warm up before we did our first rotation, again we were in our teams but just the girls in one and the boys in the other. Now the groups were Thames A and Thames B or Kauri A, Kauri B.

Our first rotation was Camp search. We got given a map and a sheet of paper with clues of where to go. The activity itself was quite fun and kept us active, running around and all. But our team wasn't working together properly. I feel like if we worked together more - instead of splitting up - we possibly could have broken the record time.

Fractions of a set

Today for maths we did fractions. We converted the improper fractions into mixed fractions. 

Streets For Everyone - Project done 🗸

On Wednesday the whole of the Extension group/class took a walk around Anderson Ave, and the area near by. On that walk we took a look at our projects we created throughout term 1. We got to test and try each others activity's. It was a lot of fun!

This is me, Kiarah and Valessa's activity, The Kiwiana Puzzle. If you want to know more about the process we went though to create it check out some of my previous posts or check out Kiarah and Valessa's blogs. 

Building a boat/raft

On Friday last week in Room 4 we did a challenge. We did it in groups of 4. I was with Kiarah, Lee and Jermaine. 

The challenge was to build a boat or raft using tape, straws and most importantly teamwork. We worked together giving each other different roles. Kiarah gave the idea to build the boat flat with walls so the animal doesn't fall, and Jermaine helped cutting the tape, while lee help cut the straws. I had the job of putting it all together, by the time we were done the boat/raft looked like this:

Barriers - Poem

Earlier this morning Miss West gave us each a sheet of paper. On the paper a was a poem called 'Barriers' by a well-known poet, Hinewirangi, and some questions beside it. Kiarah and Kalani read the poem aloud to us all. The poem was about barriers, a cultural/language barrier. 

Me and Aye also worked together for this task, where she answered the questions and I help mainly with the poster. I drew it very simply but I quite like it. This task was easy to do and fun. 

Provocation: Watch this Space

During today's extension lesson Miss West gave us all a scenario about Earth becoming uninhabitable in 12 months. We had to think about what and how we would do thing to leave the planet as soon as possible. On each slide was a question we had all answered in our own ways with the knowledge we have. The different colours represent a different person's answer. If you're looking for my answers they're in light purple with black highlights. 

On the last slide is our different project ideas. Me and Aye wanted to do theories on Mars and Earth, and possibly our own theory on what would happen to Earth if we were to leave.

Watch This Space

Earlier this afternoon, we did learn't a little bit about the science of how Earth formulated. We first wrote the things we already knew about Earth before watching the video -on the last slide- to add to the list of things we didn't know before. To be honest most of the things included in the video were things I already knew, so this was just like a reminder for me.

Immersion Assembly - Term 2

We're back to school for Term 2, and we started it with an amazing Immersion Assembly! The teachers themselves produced the plays, slides and videos they presented. Everything each Team's teachers presented revolved around the topic of space, since this term's topic is 'Watch this space'. 

Team 5's teacher's put on an interesting and informative play. They based it on 'the magic school bus' and went to a few planets. Each planet they visited they told us a few facts too, like Jupiter has 79 moons or Mercury is the hottest planet. Some of the facts they told I already knew but it was a good little refresher. In fact I'm honestly quite intrigued and excited to learn about this! :) 

The other team's also have interesting things to learn about I hope they enjoy it. I can't forget about the teacher's too, they all did a good job with their little performances.  

Streets for Everyone - Final design process

 Today's focus in extension was our final design. For me and Kiarah the final design process didn't take to long. I'd say it's because of how we worked together, combining our ideas with Toby and Bahv's. Our original idea was to make 'join the dots' more interesting, but instead we came up with a whole new idea. 

The new idea is like a puzzle. We've decided to call it the Kiwiana puzzle. Since it’s called the Kiwiana Puzzle, we got Kiwiana things and made the outline. Since it’s only the outline we put everything on-top of eachother. There were three categories, General, Sport and food. The pictures won’t be in color so it can be simple and a bit hard. I hope you enjoy our idea!

Thinking Critically Online

We did some Cybersmart today on how to spot fake news. Watching the video (which is on slide 2) helped with the work. This is like a recap for us year 8's, because we did this last year. It was a simple but helpful task. :)

 

My Cultural Patterns

 I'm half Samoan and half African, so I chose two patterns instead of just one. The reason I've chosen this blue pattern is because it reminds me of a beautiful dress my mum made me, with a similar pattern and colour.

I don't know much about the African culture, but I really liked this pattern. The orange and red colours remind me of the dirt in Africa. I also really liked the shapes, it's not just lines but more like dots and dashes.

Streets for everyone project

This term for extension we've been working on a big project called Streets for everyone. We've been work with people of The Open Fort (Toby and Bahv), to help with the project. The reason we are doing this project is to make the streets we live on more safe and fun.

We are in different group and doing different things. I'm in a group with Valessa and Kiarah (you should check out their blogs). In our group are main idea is connect the dots. The slides below show how we've extended the simple activity into multiple ideas. 

Next week we hope to install some of our work onto the streets. It's been a lot of fun working with Open fort on the project along with my team mates, Valessa and Kiarah.

Here are a few photos we took on our walk around the neighbourhood, (there was a video I wanted to add but I can't so enjoy the photos).

Stonks, Robert, and Craig's 'Epic' fart fail

This is my piece of writing from a few weeks ago. In our writing group we all gave random idea's and had a vote to decide on the characters and the setting. The characters we had to use were Stonks guy, Craig and Robert, while the setting was in the KFC bathrooms. Majority voted to have the problem be an explosion caused by the groups farting challenge. It was difficult to think of an idea for this story but it was ton's of fun to write, I hope you enjoy it!  

NOTE : This is a piece of crack writing. This story is not serious at all and barely has logic. 

Also may contain memes and jokes, if you don’t understand such jokes, I’m sorry to say you are most likely a boomer. Do not take any of that seriously though.

So buckle up for this weird and wonderful crack piece of writing.

“Stonks! Challenge, follow me, now!” Craig yelled coming out of the KFC bathrooms. Stonks follows Craig to the toilets only to see Robert doing the loudest and longest fart he can. At first Stonks guy was confused until Craig followed Robert’s actions but much bigger.

“✨Y E S✨” Robert said with stars in his eyes like the emoji. 

“That’s the challenge?” Stonks guy said, his expression showed not much enthusiasm. Only a few seconds later he was laughing hard out, slapping his knee. Craig and Robert stare at each other saying he’s a mad man with just their eyes.

“Well it’s not very good is it? How about I try” Stonks guy says after his laughing fit. That’s where things went wrong. 

Stonks let out a fart so big, so loud and super stinky. The sentch of the fart could be smelt of outside the KFC toilets, possibly outside the KFC building itself. Everyone gagged at the horrid smell before bursting out in laughter. 

“Let’s do it again!” Craig yells. “I can’t lose to Stonks guy!”

They all had their turns again, this time Craig had won with a fart that they could have sworn lasted a minute. Then it happened, the most wonderful idea that Robert could think of.

“Guys… Let’s fart all at once! Let’s see how bad yet awesome it’ll be!” Robert said with a serious face at first, but as he continued his words the excitement became evident in his voice. Everyone agreed and they started counting down.

“3...2...1!”

“Let it rip boys!” With those four words they let everything out. 

The floor beneath them started shaking leaving them shooketh. The stall doors in the bathroom suddenly flung open - if they didn’t fling open then they probably broke off - at that moment, they knew, they messed up.

“GOTTA GO FAST” Craig exclaimed, running away.

“RuN LIkE tHe WInD, rUN LIKe ThE SKy” Robert yelled following behind Craig, and running almost as fast as Hinata a.k.a ✨l i g h t n i n g f a s t✨.

“These guys can’t just leave me” Stonks says, pouting like a child who wasn’t allowed to buy their favourite candy.

“Ahhh well… YEET” Stonks said, Naruto running out of the KFC toilets. 

The three boy's ran to the table they sat at before the fart challenge, grabbing their now cold food. They were out of KFC in an instint and nowhere to be found.

One of the workers noticed the loud sounds of the doors crashing to the ground, and the shattered shards of glass spread on the floor. He had no idea what was happening, but when he saw the three troublemakers exit the bathroom in a rush he knew something was up.

“That’s weird.. that’s suspicious” The worker said while walking over to the toilet. He peaks in and sees the biggest mess ever made.

“HOLY SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS” He shouts, it seems like he was too loud as one of his co-workers heard him.

“CHILE- CHILL” One of the female employees yelled back at him before walking over to the scene to see what happened. She continued to stare at the used-to-be clean bathroom which currently looks like a tornado hit it.

“WHAT IS THAT?! WHAT IS THAT?!” She said with a surprised pikachu face.

- The End -

The legend of the golden snail

Yesterday me and my group - Nina and Aye - completed this work sheet. 

We first had to read though the text which was 'The legend of the golden snail'. After reading though it we skim and scanned though the text looking for a few of the settings it took place in, who the characters were, and described a few traits the charters had, ticking off the boxes on the list.

We all did something to contribute and complete the task. 

If you would like a more accurate explanation of what we did, I'd suggest looking on Nina, or Aye's blog, it'd be nice if you left them a positive comment as well.

My silhouette art

 In Room 4 we've been focusing on our art for a while. We had to choose what type of silhouettes to paint. Mine is based on an image of my favourite group, I wanted to do a different one but I like how this came out as a silhouette. For the background we could chose between shades of sunsets, red to yellow, or blue to pink. I decided to use white, pink, purple, blue and a tiny bit of black at the top. While the paint was drying I began cutting the silhouette out. The bits between the legs and the rocks made it difficult to cut out so it took awhile.

Once I had fully cut it out I glued it on. It wasn't necessary but I ended up cutting little birds out and a sign - I got the idea from their previous albums, so it wasn't just random details - then I was done.

Here is how my art turned out.

Purple day (Epilepsy awareness day)

 Today is a mufti day, we were told to try and dress in purple. Why? Well it's to help raise awareness for a medical condition called epilepsy. Epilepsy affects a persons brain, people with Epilepsy can have seizures / Epilepsy fits. We have a few people in our school who have Epilepsy.

Interviewing Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to interview the Prime Minster, Jacinda Ardern, with my good friend, Aye. 

The Prime Minster gave our school a little visit during  February. She gave us a speech-like talk in the Team 5 block about how we're not to young to have someone care about our opinions before walking around having lunch with us and the younger kids of Room 21. 

Aye and I finally got to interview the Prime Minister! Here is the video of our interview.

Visual ratios

 Today we used M&M's to create visual ratios. At first I put the M&M's in a bar graph but in this photo I tried to make a pie chart. After making some type of graph or chart we split the colours into ratios.

This ratio of green to blue is 3:3

This ratio of orange to yellow is 2:3

This ratio of red to brown is 3:2 

 

3.3 He aha te Taima?

While the year 7's are at tech yesterday we - year 8's - did one of our rotations before having a camp meeting. I'm excited. My groups one rotation for the day was Te Reo, where we learn't how to say quarter past or quarter to.

Ratio Reconcilliation

For today's maths we did more ratios, I got confused at certain slides but I still enjoyed this task.

The Moa - Poster

This is my reading task about Moa's. It's quite simple but I hope you like it!
