How to make a Christmas tree decoration

Materials:

• 1 Ice block stick
• 3 Cupcake cups
• 1 glue stick 

Steps:

1. Grab a ice block stick
2. Grab 3 cupcake cups
3. Grab a glue stick
4. Fold the cupcake cup in half then place 1 hand on the bottom of the cupcake then place the other 1 inside the middle of the cupcake then bring half of it to the middle then fold that down do this to all three of them.
5.  Grab your glue then glue all three of the cupcake cups onto the Ice block stick make sure to glue the part you folded in half and the part you folded into a triangle then your finished. 

My learning for this is good because when I wasn't here for the learning I still managed to finish the work exactly how it was suppose to be. The hard part was doing the folds. The easy part was everything else. My next step is to work on my folds. Here is a photo of my completed work. 

I hope you get a chance to create one of these.

Athletics Day.

 This week on Tuesday we had athletics day we were learning to do sportsmanship. In the beginning we were split into groups I was with the year 7 & 8 girls then we had to do 6 activities the 1st one for us was hurdles under and over 2nd was Shot put our 3rd one was a sack race. Then the 4th was high jump  Awatea and Ocean placed first for the year 7 & 8 girls and for the year 8 girls Delina and I placed equal 2nd place then we moved on to discus well mine flew off course. Then lastly we had long jump and I placed third equal with Awatea and Bobbie-Jo. The part I liked was high jump. The easy part was to do all the activities well having fun. The hard part was to race of other people. My next step is to get better in shot put and discus. Here is a Album of some of the things we´ve done.

Float or sink?

This morning my class was observing a creative boat that I will describe: It had two big water bottles then it was taped together then it had a balloon with a lollipop stick taped to the bottles then we had to fill it up with water. Then we observed and we saw that some of the creative boat had sunk but a little bit of it was floating Awatea said ¨because there´s still some air in it that causes the boat to still float and it doesn't sink to the bottom¨ when we finished observing Whaea Verbina said ¨ who said it would sink and who said it would float¨ Steven, Ebony, Quin, Ngapua, Kody, Honekai, Mahuta, Tuishaly, Kosena, Eva, Awatea, Delina, Tamarah and me said that it would sink but Xavier, Joshua and Manu said it would float poor them because it sunk I think they need more learning on this.

Summer learning journey activity

If I would be able to travel back in time to see some people in the mid 1930´s I would take with me blanket´s for warmth, Our food that we have in the present day to bring in the past, some bath´s to wash themselves soap as well and conditioner & shampoo, tooth brush and tooth paste, candy, clothes and last of all I would go back in time to teach them about all the holidays that we know of in the present day. So those are all the things that I would bring so they can explore new things that we don´t have on the present day.

KAPA HAKA: Te rau pou manawa o kawakawa

On Sat 17 of Nov Te rau pou manawa o kawakawa performed at Kingston stadium, Whangarei and I participated in that Roopu I was proud to as well because  We placed 3rd in our Waiata-tira, Whakaeke, Poi and Whakawatea. We placed 2nd in Waiata-a-ringa and first equal with 4 other roopu in Kaitataki Wahine but we didn´t place in kaitataki tane. Overall we placed 3rd and made it through to nationals My favorite Item  was the whakaeke because that´s the only one that I put all my facials in it was really fun. What we need to work on is to project our voices and being consistent. Here Is some photo´s of Te rau pou manawa o kawakawa.

And here is the video.

Taumarere history

This year our class has discovered stuff about Taumarere history in the Taumarere museum. We have to explain 2 facts about the taumarere trip we had gone on past and present those are the two. 1. the past there use to be a Maori girl school in Taumarere. 2. the present now no one goes to Taumarere some people wonder why well I think it´s because overtime people discovered new things over in Moerewa,  Kawakawa, Kaikohe, Kerikeri, Whangarei and Auckland. There was no easy part I found it a little difficult.

This is a photo of us heading to the Taumarere museum.

What I did in the holidays?

Title: My trip to Auckland.

Planning:

1. When I woke up at my nans.
2. when we headed to netball.
3. when we had fun.

Writing:

In the holidays Tahnellah, My mum and I headed to Auckland from Waiomio it had been a really long trip so Tahnellah & I had fallen asleep during the trip when we woke we had arrived at my nana Hineamarus house. When we arrived inside there was only one person inside his name is Takoha he had been a busy man planing for ki-o-rahi as I heard Takoha and my mum talking I also noticed that Takoha´s girlfriend or wife olive had walked inside with Tane her child. After them was my mum´s mate and her husband with their children as they walked in Tahnellah headed up stairs then so did I because we had been bored down stairs as I gave the squishy toy to Tahnellah I told her to throw it to someone that come´s past for a good laugh. As a adult came past we thought he was a child so I had said ¨Throw it" in a so quiet voice that she alone could hear it she almost threw the ball till she saw how tall he was then she stopped and then he pasted, after  that we started laughing but then we walked in to a room where the boys were playing fortnite season 6 I asked if I could play they said ¨NO¨ I was like ¨Fine then" so I watched well I was with Tahnellah I headed to the kitchen because I missed out on dinner. So well I walked inside the kitchen then what I saw was a surprise it was my favorite aunties and my cousin her name is Braedyn it was starting to turn darker than it already was so we all headed to bed.

¨aah¨ as we all yawned good morning as I saw outside, some dark looking clouds were blocking the heat from which keeps me warm but I know that the sun will force the clouds to go away at some time. My mum said to braedyn, Tahnellah, Money, Boy and me to ¨hurry up and get ready because we are heading over so my mates and I can play netball so Tahnellah, Braedyn and I walked into my mum´s car then the other two hopped in the other car my mum´s mates car as we shut the car doors so hardly we drove of to mum´s netball center when we arrived we thought it was boring so we stayed inside the car but in a while when we walked inside we followed Boy & Money upstairs so they can show us how fun it was. Then we discovered around it then got used to it then i walked to mum then asked her ¨can I borrow 10 dollars like in my dream that I had¨, after I said it she gave it to me then I headed to buy me a snack and a drink because the rest already had stuff from Tahnellah also she said she won´t give anything so that´s that. After that we discovered a photo booth so we took a few photos then Money had been upset because he asked if he could go next but someone else had claimed it.

After that Tahnellah, Braedyn & I ran on the courts outside then when we saw how much people were having fun we decided to have fun as well we first tried these types of goggles that have different visions so I tried them all but it was a two paired game so I VS an adult but she was too focused and I won. After that we walked over to the bike area to ride some bikes when we drove we started realizing that these boys were following us then when we stopped they kept circling us but the when I was riding this random boy that was following us was headed straight for me it´s like I couldn't move and he couldn't either so we crashed. I landed on my two feet but I damaged my knee for a little bit but he fell down then started crying I think he was looking for revenge when we both got back on our bikes but then we had a race and like always Tahnellah won then we left back home. THE END

Spelling rubric 5

Today I am choosing what my goal is for my writing and I chose spelling rubric 5 (I spell the majority of essential list words correctly  I spell some difficult words correctly using my knowledge of spelling patters and sounds)

Decimals

Today we have been doing some decimals.  For example: 62.49+12.76=75.25, for this we used a table with hundreds, tens, ones, point/. , tenths and hundredths they were placed in columns. The easy part was to write the equations. But there was no hard part today. The fun part was to solve the equations because by solving it I love adding on to another column. I don´t have anything to improve on because I think I did great I got all my answers right and I´ve checked on the board. Here is some equations I solved.

Jackie's selfie video

This week my class has been doing a selfie video we each had to create a selfie showing who we are, how old we are, our pepeha, our whanau,our pets if we want and what we enjoyed doing also we had to do it in Maori. Here is mine. Hope you enjoy

Project Island song

Last week our class and some of RM 2 went on a cruise to project island song before we arrived we took a boat then saw some of these water birds we saw a blue penguin and awesome other water birds. Project island song goggle drawing.

Q + A taumarere awa

For the past two weeks we have been doing this. Manu and I have put this down from a slide that others and us have done.

Jackie

I know some people would swim as well as wash themselves.

Who pulled and who pushed?

Manu

I know that back in the day they moved Porowini marae to Otiria On horses.

How many people did it take to bring porowini marae from Taumarere to Otiria?

Project island song

Hello this week my class has been working on this first we didn´t know what our trip was about but we had a little chat with our two classes (room 2 and Nga Rau Rangatira) and  the teachers ( Whaea Verbina, Whaea Sally & Miss Norman) Miss Norman was talking to us about our behavior also that only 40 people could only come. So our work was to do a D.L.O here´s mine.






The easy part was to find pictures and information. 
The hard part was to find questions and answers for this.
I could improve by writing more things for questions.

Koura crayfish report

Title: Freshwater crayfish/ koura crayfish.

Opening statement: What I'm talking about is freshwater crayfish here's some facts that
I found out. The freshwater crayfish in NZ I'm talking about is also known as koura crayfish
they live in the North Island and south islands in Marlborough, Nelson and the West Coast
in the South Island but they are a little and slightly smaller (about 70 mm long) and
have less hairy pincers. They live in freshwater.

Appearance

Its appearance is close to lobsters even though lobsters are red but they are the closest to crayfish.
Also there are so many crayfish such as blue crayfish, red king crab, common yabby, acocil and
tons of others.

Diet

Their Diet is really easy they contain veggies so they don't really go for flesh so really their like pray
(pray are vegetarians in other words NOT predators-predators are flesh eating their diet is pray)
so they only eat veggies or sea grass (another word for grass in the sea).  

Behaviors

In this the crayfish would meet up somewhere and have a very aggressive fight the crayfish
would try to wrestle  their opponent down but it would sometimes lead to a high risk of injury
for the other crayfish that could possibly be involved in the fight.

Diagram: It starts with a egg then it starts growing then growing till the crayfish is a adult.
The life cycle is really in 6 stages and here's a diagram about it.

General Statement

They really look mysterious for a fact I never knew the full life cycle I actually didn't know anything about this creature for me a koura crayfish I´ve never seen.

So there you go there's the work about freshwater crayfish.

Retelling of matariki story

For the past two days I have been learning about matariki what I learnt was that there could be more than 7 sisters. We have been split into 6 groups  I was in group 6 our group was to retelling the story of matariki there was also others but I could only remember some names that they were working on. Anyway I never got to finish my work because on the first day I was not here and the last day I had to leave early but I managed to finish my slides hope you like it. I still haven´t finished though, I felt like doing another one but there was no time so here we go.

Highest and lowest

Today and tomorrow we are learning to make the highest number and the lowest number using 1,2,3,4,5,6 but we have to use 4 digits to make the highest and the lowest and the operations signs we used were +, -, ×,÷ Also here is the problem.

For example:

Jackie´s Te nui rawa - Te iti rawa

Te nui rawa.

6×5×4×3=360

Te iti rawa.

4-3-2-6=-7

4-3=1-2=-1-6=-7

Explain writing

I am learning to write an explain piece of writing.

I know that an explain writing is when you explain about your topic.

I also know that a explain and a persuasive is a different piece of writing.

Persuasive writing is when you use evaluative language and your arguing about your topic.
A explain writing is when you use a passive voice.

There´s nothing more to add but proof.

Thinking critically

This week we have been learning to think critically our S.C is: To question the information we read.
The easy part was reading the book Mahi Tahi.
The hard part was to think critically and seeing if it was true or not but I got it.
I could improve by thinking harder on what to respond on.
Here is my proof: To think critically you must first see the pictures and maybe do some research on the book if it´s not real then here´s another way to question the book and find out if it´s real or not.

Problem solving

I am learning to problem solve in maths, the topic is In the money.
I can use talk moves like can you explain this in another way and others , use a systematic table and explaining about my work that I have done.
I need to work on using my space on my book more wisely.
My next step is to share all my ideas with my group and writing my math expression.
The easy part was writing all the things my group and I discovered about the problem.
The hard part was getting the right answer and crack the code but I got there.
I could improve by making sense in my work.
Here is my proof.

problem solving

This week my class tried to crack this code of tea cups and sauces for problem solving here is a photo.

It was really difficult but some of us managed to crack it well the rest were still stuck.

The easy part was exploring different ways with my group. 

The hard part was to actually crack the code.

I could improve by working with all my team mates.

Quick task 3

Last week my group was reading about "what now for rena" our LI is: thinking critically, our S.C is: To question the information when we read LI means Learning intention S.C means success criteria. 

The easy part was talking about the book. 

The hard part was rewriting in the boxes. 

I could improve by learning quicker what critical thinking is.

The skills I am using for reading are sounding out the word that I don´t understand.

This is my proof is that I´ve been using critical thinking to tell if the writer is telling the truth or not.

Thinking critically

This week my group have been learning to think critically and evaluative text .
The easy part was to write what thinking critically means.
The hard Part was doing the quick task what is critically thinking.
I could improve by being more involved in talking to my group.
Here is my proof.

These are what I had to do.

How to make it up to 37

Hi this week my class has been doing how to make it up to 37 using these 4 numbers 1,3,5 and 7 so we had to do it using 10 numbers out of these numbers. I don't know how to explain it in a easier way so for example: 37 is an odd the four numbers are odds but to make 10 numbers to get to 37 because 10 is an even and we should know O+O=E NOT O+E=O that's NOT right so then we know that 1,3,5 or 7 + 10 can't =37 because 10 is a even but my class figured out with some help that we can do O+O=O because we didn't do 10 now we used 9,11 and 13 some odd numbers so it might be confusing but there's my proof.
The easy part was exploring different types of numbers to make 37 it was quit hard and fun. The hard part was trying to get 10 numbers to make 37. I could improve by making this much more easier for you to understand.
BYE

Dart board

This week for math's we had to choose 3 activity and I this one and two others I choose this one because this one is better than the others. The easy part was reading the question. The hard part was figuring out the answer of course. What I could improve by adding more evidence.

Intergers

This week my teacher was teaching the whole class what integers are. Here is a photo of us problem solving.

I learnt that there's more then 0 like for example +5,+4,+3,+2,+1,+0,-1,-2,-3,-4,-5. Also I learnt that hills are the + numbers and the dales are the - numbers.

Venn Diagram

Today I have been learning about Venn Diagram on underground explorers and Marcus Thomas I did all the same and differences. The hard part was finding what the differences are but I found a few. The easy part was doing the Venn diagram and the same also the pictures. My next step is making it interesting. This is my proof.

Follow up activity

This week I have been doing my follow up activity. 
The easy part was thinking what books interest me. 
The hard part was thinking what does making connections text to text mean. 
My next step is ? I don't think I have a next step.
Here is my proof.

Vivid vocab

 This is my vivid vocab that I have been working on today. They were all easy no hard part and I don't think there is no next step for my spelling.

KUPU           myriad
ARONGA There is a myriad of sand on the beach.	WETEREO adjective.
KUPU MATUA Myriad, myriads	NGA KUPU I TE KUPU MATUA none
HE WEHENGA myr/i/ad	Elkonin boxes - show using a table Myr            i ad
HE KUPU TAUARO Less, countable, calculable	HE KUPU TAURITE    loads, endless, infinity,,Unlimited unlimited, countless, Massis, Matitude.
RERENGA KORERO Me and Eva were trying to count a myriad of rocks because we headed to the Rocky bay beach.
Dictation: The fireworks burst into a myriad of colors because it was New Years eve.

Metaphor

On Monday we were learning about metaphor's and how to write a metaphor. Our sentences was about chocolates. My sentence is about dairy milk chocolate.

NRC is a favorite because we are all different on the outside but milky on the inside.

This is my evidence

To be a smart blogger

Me & Mani are learning to be smart bloggers. To be a smart blogger we need to remember to: use punctuation, What's the easy part, What's the hard part also what's the next step and learning. So the easy part was punctuation. The hard part was the learning for Mani though for me is nothing everything seems just right. Our next step is to think more of our learning and more evidence.
                                    BYE!!!

Intergers

This week my class and I have been learning about integers I think it's easy to do because doing - numbers like (-2+3=1 or -3+2=-1). The hard part was nothing really it was fun and easy. Integers are negative and positive numbers. Here is my proof.

Thanks for looking at my math work that I've been working on.

Summarising and the big five

This week and last week we have been learning how to  summarise the big five (If you don't know what the BIG FIVE is) The big five is Someone, Wanted, Because, But and Then they can also fit on your five figure's. You already know about SUMmarising. 

Heres an example of the big five push on the picture to see the big five see if you can find Who we're talking about what they wanted, the word because, but and then. Good LUCK.

WHAT I HAVE BEEN LEARNING ABOUT!!!

This week I have been learning about SUMmerising.

The easy part was learning about how 
S stands for Shorter then the text,
U stands for Using your own words,
M stands for Main ideas only.
The hard part was nothing really it's kinda like last year there was nothing wrong in my learning this week. I could improve on nothing theres absolutely nothing I should improve on just like what I need to work on but theres nothing I could possiably work on.

Heres my proof 

Thanks for reading please comment down below.
