	I would recommend this book because it’s really ineresting to read also it’s a really good book to read to your parents, friends, teacher and brothers and sisters.

Olympics Artwork

This is me and my olympics art work. At the back of me is my tessellations, we had to use triangles, squares and hexagons, I measured up a triangle sides that were 3.8 cm to make a hexagon. But I used hexagons and triangles because those shapes (polygons) fit each other. (But if it has a gaps in it that means it’s not a tessellation).

When I had to choose a picture in google, I had nothing because everyone choose the good ones. So I choose this on because he had a medal on his neck. When I look at my medal, it felt like it’s was me, God choose me, I was the one.

Also their are speech bubbles and the thought bubbles, speech bubbles are the similes and the thought bubbles are the metaphors.

In the border are the 3 values Friendship, Respect and Excellence, also the medals, they are bronze, silver and gold.

Hong Kong S.T.E.M challenge 2

                            

Materials that we used: 6 x long sticks 1 x  wooden square 2 x pipe cleaners 2 x straws 1 x 1m ruler 11 x plastic cubes 1 x bunch of popsicle sticks 4 x wooden small flat pieces

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base:

This challenge I thought that it was difficult because we only got to use one single cube to hold everything on top! We were all shaky, but we made it.

Challenge  #2 -  Build a structure as high as you can on a base.

This challenge I found was easy because we didn’t need to use one block as the base. The only worries that we had was that it kept on breaking, then we made it, but because we had a time limit the last 5 seconds we had, it got knocked over by Musharraf on accident.

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

Challenge 3  was really hard because we had to make something stick out on the side so we tried to make a mini machine gun but the last five seconds that we had, it broke down because we were all shaky.

Moment In Time Week 7

Today our teacher asked us to write a ‘Moment In Time’ piece using a picture of a boy in the water.  We planned as a class to make sure we had the 5 W’s and the 6 Senses.  

s

Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct.  Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.

Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end.  We had so much fun working together!

If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.  

Boy Overboard!

In the Morning Jack was fishing with his father he went to see the beautiful view. He leaned over the side just in the wrong time as the wave hit the boat. He fell into the icy cold water, Jack was screaming for help “HELP” he saw some sharks teeth chattering under the water. He yelled at his dad for help but the dad was listening to some music. So Jack quickly swam to the boat, but the dad went to put the engine on and went of, so Jack screamed as load as a lion "HELP"

I can hear the sharks grinding their teeth together and the finn bobbing up and down.  Jack’s heart was pounding as fast as a bolt that is shrinking earth..  Jack  screamed for help “HELP” yelled Jack and then he saw  Sharks coming towards him.  Hi was terrified from the skanks that are gazing in front of them.

Jack along with other shark’s smelled the petrol which bring the sharks to the boat and gave Jack time to escape from the area of sharks.  He quickly swam away from the sharks and swam to the other side of the boat but will he be fast enough to save his life?...

Being their for each others and helping people that you care for.

Their were a bunch of boys called David, Ben and Musharraf. They got bored of

playing in the play ground, so Ben had an idea. “He said to his friends, if we can go to the park together”. So we ran as fast as a cheater to the park to play heaps of the amazing games like playing rugby or climing on a cool ladder going up and down “Ben said lets start with rugby and then climing the going ladder up and down”. “We said ok replied” Matatia and David. We played rugby and it was Ben vs David and Matatia was the referee because he was to beautiful to get tackle from those dirty boys but their my friends. After that Ben got a try and David was crying because he wanted to get a try but he diden’t so he went for alone time by himself Matatia went up to him to see if his alright but “Ben said to leave him I will talk to him by myself”. Ben went up to him if he wanted something to eat and David said yeap sure lets have fish n chips and Ben said ok he called Matatia to come and have a feed with us but Matatia its ok I’m going home to have dinner with my family and Ben said ok take care of your self and Matatia said the same thing to Ben and David.

When Ben and David got to the fish n chips they heard a gun shot at pack in save they quickly duck under the table and quickly ran to the door and the guy with the gun accident shot David and the guy with gun went up to him and he put his hoddie down and its was Matatia.

Matariki celebration

MATARIKI CELEBRATION

Kia ora my name is matatia and this is my friend Musharraf. me and my buddy were working on our Kites. We did a video how to measure the toetoe so we can cut it in 3 parts. After we cut it we went to get the wool there were colours like red, White, Purple and Black. Me and my buddy were tieing the wool on our kite. And the colours we chose were black, white and red. after we finish we had to do it in the sides so it would be more better tie it up really hard. So we told Miss Hills that we were finished and she gave us a black paper so we can do our art on it. So me and my buddy were thinking of drawing a koru for matariki. After finish drawing we had to colour it in. we were finished and then we had to use a glue gun to glue it to our kite. We said to our teacher that we were finished so we took a photo.

The easy part was that I did my best to do this. And the hard bit was that I had to tie it was really had to do so people helped me like my teacher and Kapree. My goal was to try to work with my buddy and to help people that are stack. Matariki is a special Celebration for the seven stars. In New Zealand we use Whanaungatanga and Manaakitanga to share ideas and  to talk to people help people and to take care of people. We do this so we can protect people from evil. This photo was made from our school Rangikura. Our whole school were working on Matariki. We made Kites because it’s like the Kites are the seven stars in the skys. 

Matariki...

This week me and my group have been learning about Matariki. Here is a picture I drew to share my understanding.

When Matariki stars are coming out then the stars are starting.

Matariki is a new year for the maori people.It is also a sign for the farmers.

Venn Diagram!!!

THIS IS MY VENN DIAGRAM???

This is a explane venn diagram a diagram representing mathematical or logical sets pictorially as circles or closed curves within an enclosing rectangle (the universal set), common elements of the sets being represented by intersections of the circles.

Venn diagrams were introduced in 1880 by John Venn in a paper entitled On the Diagrammatic and Mechanical Representation of Propositions and Reasonings in the "Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science", about the different ways to represent propositions by diagrams.

Venn diagram means that the two sides ones are different and the 

middle one is the same ones as the other ones and these

are some of the Tokelau and Fiji photos of them

catching fish.

The left one is Fiji and the right one is Tokelau.

can you see that they catch fish all the time!!!!

thank you for reading bye!!!!!
