We have a huge selection of books to study.. I chose a book called ‘Arohanui - Revenge of the Fey’. We had to read it and do some tasks that asked about the antagonist and protagonist. One of our teachers, Whaea Chrissy, said to us that it is a really complicated story because there really is no good person and bad person. After you did the normal tasks you were able to do projects. The options were pretty cool. Then a couple of days ago the teachers added a new part called ‘Create.’ You were able to do anything creative to explain what you have learnt. I haven’t completed my task yet only my project.<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

A fake character named Zinki came in and told us a lot about herself. Apparently she was from another planet and she had landed in the bush. It reminded me of this TV show I used to watch when I was little.. She was R 18 to look at though because of her short as skirt. We sang the Duffy kid song which I guess at points of the song was boring. After that we had to close our eyes and listen to her voice and imagine space, the stars and her planet. We were told to imagine what the planet looked like and I instantly thought about </span><span style="font-family: Raleway; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the show ‘Adventure Time’ with the candy kingdom.

Things including fast food and takeaways. We were first shown what a healthy heart looks like and what an unhealthy heart looks like. The healthy heart had a bit of fat on it and the unhealthy heart had lots of fat on it.She then showed us foods and the amount of fat that you receive from it after you eat it in little glass bottles. We learned lots yesterday and now we are more careful of what we eat. Next time someone offers me junk food like Mcdonalds might refuse it.</span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562783016539116093.post-83400927375193484602018-08-30T10:20:00.000+12:002018-08-30T10:20:20.504+12:00Listening to music argument<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago Te Ngahere had to write an argument stating what we wanted to do in spare time or just anything you have wanted to do while in class. Our success criteria was to write an argument to persuade someone to do something, give me something I want or allow me to do something. I write about listening to music while I work. We had to have 3-4 paragraphs explaining why or how it helped/helps us during class time. It wasn’t too hard if you had a plan and knew what you were going to write for each paragraph. I think that my paragraphs were elaborated on a bit and next time I could elaborate even more to make it the best it could be. This is a draft.<br /><br /><br />Argument writing<br /><br /><div>
Learning Intention<br /><br />I am learning to write an argument to persuade someone to do something, give me something I want or allow me to do something<br /></div>
<div>
Focus<br /><br />Entertainment<br /><br />Relaxing<br /><br />Listening to music<br /><br />I think we should be able to listen to music in Te Ngahere. But why? You may think of it as bad. But sometimes people need to just go into their own zone. It can help by eradicating every other voice so that they can focus. Most times people just want to listen to something to keep their mind at ease.<br /><br />Firstly it helps me focus because sometimes I just talk to anyone near me. When this happens I am never able to finish what I have started. But when I do listen to music and just focus on the music over talking to my peers I do get things completed. It keeps me focused only on the song and my story or work other than so many other voices.<br /><br />Next it is entertaining. Sometimes the songs that are on are funny in their lyrics or what they are singing about. You can sing along to the song, but not too loud. You can even dance if you feel that happy.<br /><br />Music can do other than these like it can make you happy, it can release a lot of weight off your shoulders (stress), it can reduce depression. That is if you are depressed. These are only some of the other reasons.<br /><br />If somebody does the wrong like if they used their chromebook to play their songs inappropriately they should have their chromebook taken from them for the day and if they do it again they should not be able to play music again. Students near and or around whoever does that they can message or tell the teacher.<br /><br />This is why I think we should be able to listen to music while working in Te Ngahere. <br /><br /></div>

She talked to us about how to reduce the amount of plastic inside of our lunches. We learned that when rubbish is put into a truck it takes it to a dump. They then proceed to dig holes in the earth and chuck all of that rubbish in. When the hole is full they cover it over and dig another hole. We learnt so much that day and are thankful to her. </span></span>

We had 5 periods split into two. But we had one full period. When we got there we had to sit inside of the library and listen Whaea Patsy ( one of the teachers) to see which group we were in. Paihia, Kawa Kawa and Oromahoe. We went to six classes to do six different things. First we had Maori, Performing Art, then Science, wood tech, reo rua, metal tech and food textiles. I liked science the best because it was fun and interesting. That day changed my perspective of the school because I used to think that it was a bad school but now i’m going to Bay.</span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562783016539116093.post-13979331350305620282018-08-10T10:52:00.000+12:002018-08-10T10:52:12.388+12:00<span id="docs-internal-guid-1fb6fb4a-7fff-417b-5c40-a45ca5032f0d"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On Tuesday some of our year 7 and 8 students went to Moerewa to participate in a 7’s rugby tournament.

Before that she used to come in and do physical workouts with us. We learnt about liquids you need everyday, sometimes and occasionally. Next to the drinks we had a small ziplock bag with the amount of sugar that is in the drink. We found out that an E2 drink has 22 teaspoons of sugar in it. This was the drink that had the most sugar in it out of all of the drinks that were there. That day taught me about what I was putting into my body. Now I’m going to watch out for what I put into my body more carefully.</span></span><br />

We lined up on one end of the court and ran to the first line then the second and lastly the third while dribbling. To achieve success whilst doing this the ball had to be at a 45 degree angle from our leg and it had to be about the height of our waist. It was really fun that in the end we played piggy in the middle using the skills we learnt.

Our learning intention was to use the correct structure for an informational report. Our structure was a total of nine paragraphs that were pretty hard to do but with the right information it was easy. These paragraphs were first: the animals Classifications, Animal name (what it meant), Anatomy/Appearance, Locomotion, Diet, Habitat, Behaviour, Defence/Offence and Why was it introduced? I think I wrote the structure very good for my first time in a while. Next time I need to write more information in my paragraphs.<br /><br />Success Criteria:<br />Use colons and semicolons in my writing.<br />I need to use words that give the reader detailed and specific information.<br /><br />Intro:<br /><br />The rat, a destroyer to animals and plants. An introduced pest that was brought in the 1250 - 1300 in a boat from Polynesia. There are more than 50 species around the world but three species inhabit our beautiful land of Aotearoa. These are the Norway rat, the brown rat and the ship rat. <br /><br />Classification:<br /><br />The rat classifications are: kingdom animalia, phylum chordata, class mammalia, order rodentia, suborder myomorpha, family muridae and genus rattus. Kingdom represents what it is animal or not, phylum represents if it has a backbone or not and class represents what type of animal it is like mammals or cold blooded animals.<br /><br />Animal name:<br /><br />The name rat is described as a big rodent that resembles a big mouse. A male rats name is buck, a female is a doe and a baby rat is called either a kitten or pup. The rats scientific name is Rattus norvegicus.<br /><br />Appearance:<br /><br />Rats are mostly slender and have sharp, curved heads, large eyes and furry ears. The shape of a rat's body is the same shape as a pear. An average brown rat weighs around 230g which is a quarter of a kilogram. Their claws can grow to one centimeter. Their teeth are sharp and pointed. All rats have four legs unless they have been cut off. Rat legs tend to be short and so are the arms. <img height="179" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/BEIlO5ovIW9YWpaD8mldSFMqpfR_h3Jz4bh5sKroeVwdWkL-OOGSGpYteMfMbCCI8IapCJAv3P6M4ZDxF-O7x1-xO-jfUtJoPGrxqijnKAUgiINCwRrHvL5fOk8ttJ9L0Zw1o_Ag" width="320" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Locomotion:<br /><br />Rats scurry along on all four of their legs pretty fast. Mostly three of the legs are on the ground at a time. When it jumps it uses the two back legs to fling through the air. They can jump over 77cm. A rats tail is necessary for survival because it helps them keep their balance. It is important that they move like this because otherwise they will be caught and killed.<br /><br />Diet:<br /><br />Rat diets consist of many things. They are pests to the animals in our ngahere. So our birds are in their diet and have been for centuries. So in the wild they eat mostly anything they come across. Mostly this consists of grains, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, bugs, birds and other small animals that they can kill. Rats are omnivores, this means they eat meat and plants. Rats aren’t fussy eaters and eat everything they come across. Even though a rat kills birds about the same size as itself it is near the bottom of the food chain.<br /><br />Habitat & Range:<br /><br />Rats usually inhabit dirt holes in dark places such as underneath houses in basements or cellars. Ship rats originated from India and arrived in New Zealand in the late 1800s. Norway rats originated from Norway and the Polynesian rat originated from Polynesia. <br /><br />Behaviour:<br /><br />Rats are cheeky, smart and sly. Some rats are solitary which means they live or hunt alone. Rats make passageways underground from their nest to food locations. They also create burrows to get away from other animals.<br /><br />Defence/Offence:<br /><br />The rat defends itself from predators using escape routes like their burrows but if cornered and hungry with no escape they use their claws to scratch. Wild rat bites can be infectious.<br /><br /><br />Why was it introduced/ How did it get here?:<br /><br />Rats were brought to New Zealand on the first settlers ships in the 1200s through to the 1300s. The first settlers brought rats unknowingly and didn’t know that rats were onboard. <br /><br />Conclusion:<br /><br />Rats are killers and were brought by the first settlers. They were brought unknowingly. They are the brown rat, Norway rat and the Polynesian rat.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562783016539116093.post-13249933747491682962018-06-06T10:21:00.002+12:002018-06-06T10:21:33.851+12:00Saddleback<iframe allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="299" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vSz9EPr9y8YtmEYotqudQGKhZ2VYfocrn7O6y9KTSo9WvFFENYccOlvO4DWv47XsDaPPX07tt7LQYv_/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="480"></iframe><br />

My group did a bird and our choice of bird was the saddle back. This is our second time doing this type of presentation but this one is much better than the first version. I think this time our information was much more accurate and better presented. It was fun learning about the saddle back because it was so interesting like how North Island and the South island species sounded. Next time I think we could get more interesting facts.</span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562783016539116093.post-54748251278917131132018-05-28T14:32:00.000+12:002018-05-28T14:32:12.088+12:00Bay Bush Action<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After that we went outside and put some traps around our fence line. While in class we were told that we were going to be the first school that would be rat free. I enjoyed learning about our bush. </span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562783016539116093.post-16574004867500998792018-05-22T10:08:00.002+12:002018-05-22T10:08:48.523+12:00Moment In Time Draft<br /><br />Last week in Te Ngahere week wrote a piece of writing describing a moment in time. We had to describe the forest. Our learning intention was to use the correct structure to describe a moment in time. I think I had some good description about the forest. I enjoyed think about it and in some parts when I was reading it it really felt like I was in there. I’m not sure what I could do next time. This is a draft. <br /><br /><br />Long lime trunks hangover the huge bush. Inhale fresh fragrances of the sweet aroma. Hear the animals of the forest chirp and snarl. The soils like ice cream so you just melt into it. See the little creatures dash across the ground. Watch as massive leaves sway to the rhythm of the wind. See the moss gradually be blew off the trees.

Our learning intention was to use the correct structure to write an explanation. I think my explanation was very high in quality than any of my other pieces. I think next time I could use more descriptive words. <br /><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What is an Ecosystem?<br /><br />Ecosystem<br />A healthy ecosystem consists of living things and non-living things. These living things range from living animals or plants and bacteria. On the other hand non-living things are made up from inorganic matter or things that aren’t alive. An ecosystem is made from different varieties of animals, plants and dead things that are all necessary. <br /><br />Organic Matter<br />Every living thing is organic matter, which basically means alive. There are three categories that all living things come under. These are producers, consumers and decomposers. Producers are plants that can make their own food and get energy from the sun, water and C02/Carbon Dioxide. Consumers then feed on producers and other animals. Next are decomposers, it is bacteria that breaks down dead matter.<br /><br />Inorganic Matter<br />Inorganic matter are things like rocks or water, non-living things to simplify it. These inorganic objects or mass are used for many things including terrain, absorbents and shelter. Producers use these inorganic material or gases to create energy by absorbing them.<br /><br />Ecosystem<br />An ecosystem is very fragile. In other words it means it can’t handle tremendous changes. If something crucial to the environment were to disappear or stop working it would upset and/or disturb the rest of the environment. E.G if producers were to completely be eradicated from existence it would cause great harm to every other thing in the environment. This would happen because every animal needs energy and the only thing that can create energy without eating are producers.<br /></div>

In reading I think I did well working with my group to find information . I enjoyed learning about the ocean like kina barrens, rahui and other interesting stuff. But maybe next time I think I need to do it much faster and plan it better.</span></span><br />

Our learning intention was to find a food chain and make an animation to show how the food chain worked. I think I found a food chain that I can sort of relate like eating the cow. I enjoyed making the animation and watching others creations because it was fun. Next time I could explain what type of animal they are like producers, consumers and decomposers.</span></span><br />

The theme had to be about rubbish, or Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. For language features I used: Alliteration, Metaphors, Ellipses and Onomatopoeia. I was working on these because I needed to evidence them. In my opinion I think I did well. Next time I think I need to work on Ellipses.</span></span></span></div>

Most would say no plastic but there is also that other percent that would prefer plastic. I strongly believe that plastic bags should not be used in super markets. Here are my reasons.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

These release gases into the atmosphere which open a hole in the o-zone layer causing heat to rapidly increase. Because of the heat increase icebergs melt and water levels rise, which means sooner or later the earth could be flooded. People around the world have calculated, graphically, about how much of the earth will be consumed by water. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Seafood to be precise is becoming more and more contaminated because of pollution. For example fish eat plastic that could be contaminated. Other fish could eat that fish. Then we eat that fish and we could get a disease or sickness. The pollution that eventually heads to sea contaminates sea life that we eat which basically can make us ill.</span></div>

They support us with money because of the way we look. But if we continue to pollute and litter our homes and towns tourists will start to fade in numbers. </span></div>

Basically we had to make a google drawing and add pictures of whatever would remind us of the English version. We had to add pictures that would translate the mihi into a visual mihi. For example I chose the bird “Kaka” because it’s featured in the first part of the mihi. This was supposed to help us remember what it means in English. It helped me quite a lot. </span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562783016539116093.post-10219088228627006632017-10-27T09:36:00.001+13:002017-10-27T09:36:24.233+13:00Writing goals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We used a rubric sheet to mark our level. The levels that we were supposed to be at were 4, 5 and 6. I was five and six. The goals were : make my ideas original, so the reader can connect with them, strengthen my reflections (opinions) about my information.</span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562783016539116093.post-81632352139420781292017-10-25T10:00:00.002+13:002017-10-25T10:00:41.241+13:00Math Goals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My goals were from both stage seven and eight Ican sheets. They were: </span><span style="font-family: Nunito; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Identify lowest common multiple of pairs of numbers to 10, </span><span style="font-family: Nunito; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">compensation from tidy numbers and find equivalent ratios with a common factor or multiple. I chose these goals because I did not know them. The reason I want to achieve these goals is so that I can finish stage seven and eight.</span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562783016539116093.post-75325697270061316612017-09-27T12:32:00.002+13:002017-09-27T12:32:19.261+13:00William Pike<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was about a boy preparing to be picked for the rep team. At the end of the story the character was angry until he was told about a man who climbed a mountain with only one leg. His name was William Pike. WIlliam Pike lost his leg and got it amputated because him and his friend were climbing Mt Ruapehu when it erupted and rocks fell and crushed his leg. He recently made a live stream talking about his adventure at Mt Scott in Antarctica. It was really interesting because even though he only has one leg he never gave up.</span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2
