Trite Planicep spiders

Today at school a very exciting thing happened, a scientists came and taught us about spiders. We learnt a lot of knew and cool facts. The most coolest thing that happened was that we got to see them, and hold them in a jar. The one thing that I didn't like about that was that I could not stay there for the hole entire time because I had to do other work. Do you want to hold a Trite Planicep spider?

This is the link to my slide that has a lot of cool facts on it.

My Visual Mihimihi.

 For today we had to make a visual mihimihi on google slides. First we had to write a kaimihi then a whakatauki, pepeha, then my family. It was alright doing it because I already knew half of it, which was good. The hardest thing about it for me was trying to find the write whakatauki that suits me. The easiest part about it was when I had to write my pepeha and family because I already knew it. Have you ever writen a visual mihimihi?

Make your name challenge!

 Today at school we had to go in pairs and use a iPad to take pictures of things that start with any letter in our name. It wasn't that hard, the only time it was hard was when we had like a z or something in your name, something hard. The easiest part about it was that there were a lot of things in the class that started with letters in your name. This is a picture of my creation.

Have you done a make your name challenge?

Can't wait to be back at school!!!

 Yesterday I found out we are going into level 2 lock down. The reason why I am happy is because its hard doing the work from home, because sometimes it gets, confusing. The other reason is because I can go to school and play with my friends. I think it has just been over three weeks of not being home. The work at home was  alright, but just a little annoying, and confusing. I am also going to miss staying at home, I also hope we don't go back in lock down. See you at school on Thursday!! Do you guys miss school, or would you rather stay home? Let me know.

Soccer, fun!!

 Today, me, and my, family went to the, beach. Me, and my, brother found two big logs, and 5 medium sticks. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures, but I will just tell you. When we found the, stick, and the other sticks, me and my, brother decided to make a soccer goal. We already had a ball which was good. We sticked the two big logs, up, about 10 M apart then put the medium logs, about 2 m behind the big sticks. The hardest part about making the soccer goal was that, I'd have to make a hole about the write size for it to stand. The easiest part was finding the sticks, because all, we had to do was walk on the beach.

But like I said I forgot to take pictures. Do you think one day you could make a goal at the beach?

My cool nature art

 Today at, home, during lock down, the teachers gave me a task to do. The task was to go for a walk or in your back yard, and find some stuff in the garden, or anything like rocks. I went for a walk with my dog Kobe, and we found some rocks, and leaves so we decided to make a koru. We used the rocks for the koru, then we put some leaves next to the rocks to make it look, like a real, koru.

My whakatauki

 Today my teachers gave me a task about how me and my family have been coping at home. I  picked this,  whakatauki Wh because we try not to enoy each other so, we have to work together. The easy part about finding the, whakatauki was that it just popped up right in front of me. Do you think you can find a, whakatauki like this?

Mars and Jupiter

 Today in lockdown I done this slide with activities to do, on them. The activities were pretty much just research. What we had to find out was how far the planets were and, 1 fact about it. It was pretty easy. I think the easiest thing about it was finding, 1 fact about it. 

This is the link to my work Mars and Jupiter.

What fact do you like better the, Mars one or the, Jupiter one?

The black mamba

 Today I made a slide about Kobe Bryant, if you don't know him he is a NBA basketball player. He is known to be one of the best basketball players in NBA history. When I was writing my slide about Kobe I actually found out some new facts about him, that I didn't know. The easiest part about my writing was that I already knew stuff about him so I could just write it. There wasn't really a hard part for me.

This is a link to my work KOBE

Do you think you can do some writing about Kobe to?

MALICE THE PALACE!

Today in lock down we watched a movie called malice the palace it's been one of my favorite's in lock down. The movie is about basketball, a team had a fight with the other team and then the other team started fighting to. The teams names were Detroit Pistons, and Indiana Pacers. The fightwas recorded to be the biggest fight in NBA history!! The fight started of with the Indiana Pacers, when they pushed the other team to foul them. So then the other team reacted and started pushing and hitting. Then this were it goes bad!! A guy in the stands throws a glass bear at Ron Artest, so Ron Artest ran up the stairs and punched the guy. But little did he know he punched the wrong guy. So this guy who threw the bear was so dumb that he went on the court and tried punching Ron like excuse me what, why would you try to fight someone whos nearly five times taller than you. So I wont say what happen but all I will say was the guy who went on the court lost the fight. So the end part, finall all the NBA players got charmed down and left the stadium in the close they were wearing while they were playing.

If you want to watch the movie its called malice the palace.

Let me know if you watch the movie. Whos fault do you think it was?

Our big, amazing walk

 Today during lock down we went for a big walk in Linwood. We were gone for a wee while and was really tired. It was me, my dad, brother, and sister. They were pretty tired after to. We also brought my dog Kobe for the walk. He was a good boy. When me and my brother were walking we found this cool as looking rock. It was green, with a little bit of blue in it. By the time we were half way in our walk we really needed a water, but we could handle it. The hardest part about our walk was our legs were kind of getting sore. Have you guys been for a walk during lock down?

What I have been doing during lock down.

 In lock down me and my whanau [family] have been taking our dog Kobe for a walk to the beach, and the park. Speaking of the beach and the park today we went to the beach and played in the sand, and me and my brother[ Kauri} was trying to be funny and recreate the movie boy. The scene where they were at the beach acting like they are warriors and fighting the enemies. Kobe my dog is only 4 months old, only just a puppy. He was born on the 4th of April. He is a golden retriever. That is what we have been doing in the lock down.

What have you been doing in lock down?

Iziah's lock down mahi

 While we have been in lock down I have been doing all these activities about all sorts of things like Anagrams and things like puzzles. The hardest part about it is because we are doing it on computer so some times I find it hard to find the other stuff. The easy thing about it is that the work is simple, and right there. What I mean by that is that if its on a slide, and it says highlight, all you need to do is find the highlighter button.

Ahurea [cultures] around the world.

 I worked in a ropu to research Chinese culture. We discussed traditional kai, songs, games and clothes. Myself and my group found out some facts about Chinese people. One fact I found was most Chinese people have black hair, and that most Chinese people think the world is changing too fast.

Do you guys think Chinese people are good to research about?

Chinese poster

 The last few days we have been making a culture poster. We had to pick a culture, so we picked Chinese. Our poster wasn't as big as our waka poster so we really had to fit everything into it. Myself, Tui, TK, Ruby had a slide each, and had to write some facts about it.

What I found quite easy was doing the title with the font writing. What I found kinda hard was working as a team because, every body was arguing and stuff. My slide was the slide with a map on it. I had to find a map with China on it and pin it, but in stead I just put in arrow where China is. Do you think you could make a poster like me and my group?

This is a link, and a picture to my work. Chiinese culture. 

Waka Tete

 For the past day my group Ruby, Tui, Tk, Kahukura, and my self have been researching about the waka Tete. We had to find out what it was made out of, how many people could fit into it, and what tools people used to make the waka Tete.

What I found a little hard was trying to find the image of the tools that were used to make the waka Tete. What I found easy was the research cause when I would search it it would just pop up so yeah thats what I thought was easy.

History Of The South Island.

 This week we have been learning about the history of the South island, we had to go in pairs of two so I went with T.K. We had to choose what we were going to research about, out of Rakaihautu, Tuhaitara, Rakaitauheke, and Tutekawa. Myself and T.K picked Rakaihautu. After we got our chromebooks we started researching, what tupuna is Rakaihautu well known for. And what iwi is Rakaihautu affiliated to, and the last question was what stories or waiata were written about Rakaihautu. So we researched all that up and then put it on a slide. I really liked the researching because it was good to learn new stuff I didnt know.

Solving a statistical investigation

In math's we learnt how to pose a statistical investigation. It was quite confusing but then after it wasn't confusing because then we new what to do.

This picture shows that In 2020 I did a lot more blog posts then in 2019 because I think that when we had to go in lock down our teachers maid us do a lot more blog posts that's why I think that we did more blog posts in 2020. I think that the only reason why I did less blog posts is because I was only learning how to do a blog posts and because my teachers were also learning to. This year I've only done 6 but I will probably do some more later in the year. My goal for in the future is for after every session we do, we could maybe do a blog post.

Have you guy's ever posed a statistical investigation before?

Best mother's day

 Today at school we made Mother's Day card. First we had to find a mother's day quote, then we had to write it in our book. I used if love is as sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love,  After that then we had to do a Maori quote and that Maori quote was Ko Te Whaea Te Takere O Te waka.[ Mother's are like the hull of a canoe. They are the heart of the family] by MHen. Next we made a origami flower. and put it on your mother's day card. After we made some eatable soap. Then we put it on our card's. Then that's how we made a mother's day card's.

My digital portrait.

There is power in small things!

 Today at school we learnt a new whakatauki, and what this whakatauki is about, there is power in small things. This whakatauki means to me that no matter how tall you are or how short you are you can still be strong in the things you do in life. So don't let big things stop you from what you want to do in your life and what you can do in life.

Feel the fear and do it anyway!

 

Feel the fear and do it anyway. For me that means don't be 

scared and believe in your self and also don't doubt your self because you can do this!
