X-Mas poster

This poster is dedicated to all the people that celebrate Christmas. If you do celebrate this festive holiday, make sure to support Jesus as much as you can. Also remember to spend time with your family and friends. We all hope everyone gets what they want for Christmas! Have a happy Merry Christmas!!

Mrs. Lennon

Mrs. Lennon was a very, very fun teacher to be around with. Even though I haven't really met her, I can trust all of the students opinions who have met her. This matter has really caused depression to most people. I have been told she’s a very lovely and funny teacher. Mrs Lennon's thoughts does really bring happiness and positivity to all. She has cared for every little soul. We all believe that she’s in a better place now where she can rest in peace. Every one will miss her endlessly. ♡

Te Reo Animation

W.A.L.T make a Te Reo slide using google slides. In this making of this slide, I really enjoyed using the characters to be creative. It really challenged me when I had to think of responses to respond to the question asked. Next time I am going to add  more questions to make this more interesting. Hope you enjoy!

Measurement!

W.A.L.T Convert from Km to M or M to km. I used google drawing to create this poster to help people to covert using Km and M, this shows a very quick strategy.  I really enjoyed creating this poster because its learning and art at the same time. Using creative fonts and colours really challenged me, there was so many choices I felt like I could use all! Next time i'm going to improve on explaining on  how to convert better. Hope you enjoy!

C.H.I.P.P- Threats to endangered species

Endangered species, on camp we went to the Zoo to learn about them and learnt what CHIPP stands for. CHIPP is a word to describe all of the things about endangered species.
C- climate change
H- habitat loss
I- introduced pests
P- poaching
P- pollution
In the middle of making this poster I always wonder about what these poor animals have been through that always melts my heart to pieces. If everybody wants to do this the right way, avoiding the animals habitat is the best way to do it, its cruel if you ask me! The thing that really challenged me with this poster is finding the right pictures for these topics. I really liked learning about endangered species because I can learn lots about them and in the future I could help them survive.

 Learning about the Sumatran tiger!

 This is the info board!

Halloween poster!

W.A.L.T Make a Halloween poster why or why not we should celebrate Halloween, I said yes. Its very important to celebrate Halloween, its just like all of the other special holidays so I don't get why people don't celebrate Halloween! This challenged me because I had to fit both my writing and pictures in it. I really enjoyed making this to tell each and everyone why Halloween needs to be saved! Next time i'm going to try and think of even more reasons to improve on this poster.
H- Happy children
A- All about candy
L- Lots of candy
L- Laughing about the egg splatted houses
O- Opportunity to spend time with care givers       (This was inspired by Jordan Walker)
W- Walking with friends
E- Eating candy       
E- Engaging with the ghosts
N- No annoying siblings

Te Kauru Camp 2018-(Writing 2nd Draft)

Heart racing, goosebumps appearing, I just couldn’t wait for my Rainbows End adventure to come! We had already entered Rainbows end and I had rushed to the rides, I was that excited, I was speechless! My favourite ride at Rainbows end was the Extreme Stratosphere because I had went on it with Whaea Deb and Jordan, I was scared when I had first sat on that seat but as the ride went on I wanted to go again and proved I was brave enough. At Rainbows End I also went on the fear Fall, as I went up, I could feel how high and fast that it was gonna drop. When it had dropped down I felt my body diving through the wind as if I had  just jumped out of an airplane far up in the sky without a parachute.

This is the fearfall... It was high 0_0

                                                               

Yes I did go on the extreme stratosphere! 

But overall it was fun!!!!

2018 - Term 3 STEAM - ‘Coding and Arduino Boards’ Reflective Questions

W.A.L.T Post our STEAM reflections on our blog!

1. What was I learning and why?
We were learning how to code using snap4arduino, making a LED blink using an arduino board and a breadboard so we know what to do when we make our bots at the end of the year.



2. did I do well and how do I know?
I do well at making the breadboard and coding on snap4arduino because I take my time and use the instructions, or I would asked the teacher if i’m doing it correctly.




3. What challenged me ……?
The thing that really challenged me is when we had to code using  the advanced coding for snap4arduino because i’m not used to using the different block codes than just the basics. 





4. What would I do differently next time to make my learning more successful ….. ?
Next time I will try and use the instructions carefully, keep on reading it a few times for the advanced coding and ask my partner for even more help than what is expected.


5. What have I enjoyed about the learning?
 I enjoy working with my partner, Jodee, because she helps me alot and she’s honest we she needs my help. I also like connecting the arduino board to the chrome book and using snap4arduino to code, making and LED blink, fade out and in.

                      

Letters To Sir

Sir, I know you're not a big fan of bubblegum but this issue will help for the generations to come in the future timeline.

 Bubblegum can help to save money for the school to provide camps and activities for the students.
 The teachers can be a waste when they use blue tack which means they're wasting money! I say that bubblegum can be the new blue tack brand, its so much cheaper. 

No school is perfect, there's always the talkers driving others mad. Once again, bubblegum is most likely to bring silence into the class. We'd need silence to get better results in our education, by staying on task. 

Sir, isn't it gross to see people chewing their clothes? You'd never know where its been! It would be better for them to chew on bubblegum then their clothes. Their parents would have paid loads of money for there clothing, its ridiculous!

Even though you HATE bubblegum, reading this letter a million times will change your mind.

Kiwi Report

We have been learning about the New Zealand endangered species, the Kiwi. We had to write a plan before writing our report. I had to get my facts from a text about the Kiwi, there were so many facts I didn't know about the kiwi which was surprising! I really enjoyed writing this report and learning lots and lots of facts about this flightless bird. The one thing I really found difficult was trying to find loads of facts about the Kiwis population but as soon as I was elaborating I felt a little more confident in writing facts about its population. Next time I would like to know more about its population and its habitat so I could try and visit one one day. As you can see I have transferred my writing onto a google slide for everyone to read, hope you enjoy my writing!

Drawing Of The kiwi

W.A.L.T not steal images off of the internet. We used google drawing to create these pictures of the kiwis, you can create loads of images with your imagination without having to copy write.

Science Roadshow

Last week on Wednesday, Te Kauru went to the Science Roadshow at abundant life and experienced a lot of new things about science. My favourite  part of the science road show is when I went into the illusional spinning tunnel, it made me feel dizzy! Another part that made it to my favorites is when one of the ladies that held the Science Roadshow lit the lighter and it made HUGE flames. I liked these parts because it was fun and the flames were very dangerously eye catching. At the Science Roadshow I learnt that people can grow approximately more than 5 meters. Next time, if available to go to the Science Roadshow, I would really want to learn more about what body parts can do rarely more than what everyone knows commonly.

Maui Dolphin Facts

Maui dolphins are one of the two subspecies of hectors dolphins. They can live up to 20 years which is a short lifespan compared to other dolphins. Female Maui dolphins can grow 5.5 feet in length and weighs approximately 110 pounds. Females have there first calf between 7-9 years of age. Maui dolphins are known as endangered species as there a only 47 individuals around the world.

To navigate through the ocean, they use echolocation to find there way. Following along with the hectors dolphin they use short, high frequency clicks to communicate with one another. Maui dolphins are normally close to shore in small groups and are seen in water less than 20 m deep but may range further offshore. Before 2002 these Maui dolphins were once called the north island hectors dolphin until Dr Alan Barker studying the differences described it as a subspecies of them. They have a very low rate, tending to breed at just a fast enough rate to replace the population that naturally dies.

Place Values using Decimals

If you ever need any help using this place value stratergy, this is a great video to watch!

Rounding and Compensating

In my math session, we were learning how to round and compensate with tidy numbers, with decimals. At first I was very confused with the rounding and the compensating. Next time i'm going to improve on rounding and compensating with expanded decimals.

Our Metaphors! Second Attempt

Last term we were working on our own metaphors describing what we are, like for example...
Hamarni is a furious police car, on the case to catch law-breaking prisoners, bright lights flashing with loud, ear-bursting sirens!

Assembly Vignette

28.06.2018

“Boom, smack” As the warriors furiously slapped there chest while doing the eye catching Haka. My heart exploding like grenades as nervwracking goosebumps crept up my arms and shoulders. Red chests appeared upon the tough warriors, leaving the audience with unexpected fear. There it was a young, miserable baby frightened with tears as the vicious Haka had ended.

Laughter, happiness began to go wild! Shivers went up and down my spine as the ferocious warriors vanished out the room. The audience felt amazed they couldn’t believe how thrilling the Haka was. My vanes in my body twisted round and round like a crazy coaster. Suddenly my eyes sadly shut down, the next scene was on, I was speechless.
