Week 1 task Call of the Conch

This was my comprehension task about The Call of the Conch.

Response to Text

On our site it said do you think it is a good idea to learn our times tables using songs? Why/ why not? This is my response.

 I reckon it is a good idea using songs to learn our times tables because when you learn a song you won't forget it and it's really easy to learn. Also when you listen to Mozart music {relaxation music} it could be easier for you to memorize your times tables and it's manageable.

Music can help you memorize things like your ABC's.

Writing a Narrative

There once was a little girl called Hannah,she lived on a small farm with her mum,dad and brother Harry. Hannah and Harry always played outside with the animals but as soon as Hannah saw a chicken or a rooster she would scream so loud that her parents could here her from inside. Hannah ran inside screaming so loud, her brother Harry brang a chicken inside and Hannah shouted “a chicken”.

Her parents said Hannah why are you scared of the chickens and Hannah said “there just so scary” “but they're not scary why don’t you come outside with us and pat one” said her parents ok said Hannah “but I’m holding onto dad”. When they went outside as soon as Hannah saw the chickens she ran for her live. So after that day they had to get rid of the chickens and Hannah never saw a chicken again.

Hannah was so spoiled that she asked for a puppy and guess what her parents said “yes Hannah you can have a dog”. Hannah was outside playing with her dog buddy and Hannah chucked the ball really far so buddy went to chase it. But Hannah was waiting for buddy to come back but he never came so Hannah ran to tell her parents and they searched all night for him.

The next day her parents said is there a puppy called buddy there and they checked his name and they said yes would you like to pick him up said the lady her parents said yes but they didn’t know that it was gonna cost money.

When they went to the animal control Hannah was so happy to see buddy but when they were about to leave the lady said you have to pay $100. Hannah's parents said why the lady said because we had to look after him and Hannah was feeling even sader.

So her parents said we got $50 so can we pay the rest of tommorow. The lady was thinking about it because you can’t give half the money and pay the rest off so the lady said ok but just this once. Hannah was so relieved thank you they all said so the next day they paid the rest of the money and they lived happily ever after.

Week 9 problem solving

This is my week 9 problem solving.

Animation Voice over

The topic I have chosen is sailing. Back in the day when maori were alive they did not have big giant boats and cruises like we have now they had waka.

Waka is a boat carved from either tree or wood.

Maori people would call the small boat waka but pakea would call it canoe.

Well boats and cruises are so giant that they can hold millions of people. If you wanted to go on one of the boats it would be super expensive.

The materials the boats would need would be heavy metal, carbon fibre and many more heavy materials.

Well back in the day they had to use their hands to make things but now in our days we use factories. Back in the day they would take around one month to make their own waka but if we make one it would be ready in one day.

Letter to Roy

This was my writing task this week we had to write a letter back to Roy.

Catching coin challenge

When I heard about the task I was feeling excited but at the same time I was scared.

Wow! that was amazing. The catching coin challenge was so much fun. These were the rules.

You had to put one hand on our shoulder and put the coin on your elbow. Then you put your elbow in the air and that will make the coin go up. Once the coin is in the air you have time to get ready to catch it but you have to catch the coin with the same hand.

Miss West gave us a coin each and said “you can start now”. As soon as she said that our coins were in the air.  We started and Josh was already up to four because he was so good.

I started and I caught the coin on my first go. Everyone was laughing so much and their coins went everywhere. Some people just wanted to get a lot so they cheated.

Miss West said “ one minute everyone and we were trying to get as much as we could. I was up to eight like  my friend Jahzara. We just kept catching our coins the Miss West said “ your time is up”.

Josh and AJ F caught eleven coins. I also caught eleven coins. Jahzara caught ten and Pisirina caught eight coins. Damien caught 28 coins because he was cheating.

I really wish we can do this same challenge. It was really fun and everybody had a really good time.

Problem Solving week 3

Walt: make connections between fractions and decimals.
Walt: find fractions of a set using multiplication and division

What is that writing

This week, we looked at a picture of a new technology and we had to guess what the problem was that the product was solving. This product looks like a shoe to me. I think the product is made out of aluminum so it’s light for us to hold, Titanium so that the shoes won’t break and it can hold anyone and magnesium so that the shoes are really strong.

Well I think that the product is a shoe. You can press the button in the front and it will record you or take a photo. I also think you can time travel you just say where you want to go and it will take you there. You could also fly. You put your shoes on and you say I want to fly and you will fly. It will also tell you how fast you're going and how slow you’re going. The shoe will also have apps. You just press the button at the back and it will say which app you're on. You just keep pressing the button until it goes to the app you want. If the shoe is flat on power you will have to charge it or else it will lose it’s power. So if you want to charge it you get your charger and plug it in the hole and it will charge. When you see a green light your shoe is charged but if you see a red light it is on low battery.

Wow! Now I know what the product is. Press the link to go to the video Link. It is smart shoes. Did you know it’s the world's first smart shoes? It’s controlled through your smartphone or your smartwatch. The smart shoe laces it self. The smart shoe   actually doesn't come in your size it comes in any size and if your feet is too small it shrinks into your size. The shoe lets you choose the temperature of your shoe and it goes up to 113 degrees. The smart shoe also tracks how many steps you do. It also has a charger which looks like a pair of headphones. The shoes now how tall you are what age you are and how much you weigh. I think the problem is solved by it is smart shoes and it can do what other shoes can’t do.

I think this was a really good idea. I really want to buy these smart shoes. I would buy these shoes because they’re smart. Also because it warms your feet if your feet are cold and because when you buy the shoes it will come in any size so it will shrink into your size and it will let anyone in your family wear the shoes. Well, I would really like the shoes to have apps also to have a camera on the front. The thing I really want it to do is time travel so you can see what your parents were like when they were young. Also you won’t be late anywhere.

padlet

We read this text and made a padlet about it.

Now that's thinking writing.

Now that’s thinking is our new theme for this Term. It is all about how technology has changed since maori found New Zealand. We have been looking at what has been used to make technology and what technology really is.

Technology could be a Phone, a computer and headphones. Anything that works is technology. This isn’t all ! Technology isn’t just things that are electrical. It could be boats or waka which maori used. It could also be things like windows,buildings and paper.

This term team 4 is learning about maori technology. Maori people made their own technology.

I think maori technology is waka, their carvings on marae, and tiki and there kete that they weaved with flax.

We know longer use the things maori used back in the day. Maori used trees and wood. We use things that are made out of metal, aluminium, titanium and many more because we have people who travel from other countries that bring new resources.

Year 5&6 camp

Have you ever been to a camp at your school?. Well I went to camp at my school last week. It’s all about getting to know everyone in team 4.

We had so much fun doing all the activities at camp. We did all sorts of activities like kayaking with Mr Burt and his friends, roller skating and basketball in the hall, the bike track and concert practise with our team. Also Youth town with the youth town helpers and Get lost and Killer zone with Mr Jacobsen.

My favourite part of camp was kayaking because when we got to kayak we kayaked really far but Mr Burt was really scared for the girls because it was a really windy day and he thought that the wind would blow us away. Trendy was the first person to go around the green point and come back .The really funny part was when everybody  fall out of there kayaks.  

My other favourite part of camp was killer zone. But first each teacher had to swap sides so they couldn’t cheat.We had Miss West and the presidents had Miss Scanlan. In Killer zone we had an opponent it was the president's. We had to pick these heavy pieces of wood to get to the other side.

Once we got to the other side we had to start chucking water balloons at the president's when our water balloons ran out we had to run under the tau pollen and do the gumboot throw when we had ten points we ran to this activity where you put a tennis ball in a catapult and launch in onto a mat if the ball lands on it we get two points but if the ball just rolls onto the mat you get one point. We were launching the tennis balls as fast as we could we where getting a lot of points we were hurrying the presidents were catching up and we just got ten points. There was two more activities to go the principals ran to the sponge run we had to fill the sponge with as much water as possible and fill the other bucket until it reached the top we finished all the water and the bucket wasn’t even filled to the top. Then we looked over at the president’s and they were still on the gumboot throw all the principals ran to the ski run to get across the river. We got across the river and picked up our flag waving it around Miss Scanlan ran across recording us on her Go pro.  

I learnt how to be a leader a leader at camp. My first time at school camp was really fun and cool. Thank you to Mr Sommerville,the team 4 teachers,to the helpers and our leaders.

Letter to Mr Burt

Mr Burt                                                                                           Pt England School                                                                                           Auckland                                                                                           New Zealand Levonah Pt England School Auckland New Zealand Tuesday March 7th 2017 Dear Mr Burt, I am writing to you because Team 4 really want to grow a native tree or bush around our school like Harakeke, the kowhai tree and Manuka. If we grow these native trees and bushes we have to take good care of it. I chose these native bushes and trees because if we grow harakeke we can  weave flax. We can also make honey with Manuka and with the Kowhai tree we can provide shade and shelter and provide homes for birds and insects. The native trees will also help purify the atmosphere. Photos are below. These are the places I thought we could grow the trees and bushes. Kind regards, Levonah

Describe a setting

Pt England is not an Ecosanctuary at all. There are no nocturnal animals living in Pt England. I can smell strong fresh wind  {fresh air}. I hear trees waving side to side and birds chirping loudly. I can taste raindrops falling from the sky straight into my mouth. I feel tall hard trees ,  rough dirt and prickly grass. I can see the Pt England reserve and a beautiful view from afar.
