2K18 year Recap

2018 Recap 

If I could describe this year with 3 words it would be. Positive, Learning and Memorable. I chose the word positive, because we've had lots of positive vibes funny moments and lots of cool trips. I chose the word learning for all the things that we learnt, and I chose Memorable because of all the memories we made together. One thing I achieved was coming first 3 times in athletics, on the Relays. I was proud of this because I don't really come first when I usually join athletics. I discovered that I can actually do more when I put my mind into it, (Growth Mindset). Some new skills I learnt were confidence, participation and friendliness.

5 People I enjoyed spending time with hmmmm.... One person is Perenara because when I always speak with him he would always show empathy and be honest with how he feels about my opinion. Another person is Fa'afiu because she's just a nice person in general (most of the time). The third person I liked hanging with was Fe'ao because no matter how he feels, he would always be nice and honest to me. Someone else I liked hanging out with this year was Leilani because shes so funny and lit. The final person I really liked hanging out with was Aletheia, I would spend most of my time with her and most of the time after school with her.

One Positive impact was being with my friends

WALT: Complete our maths tasks
Success criteria: 

• Stay on task (Maths)
• If your not sure ask a friend or the teacher for help
• Double check your awnsers

Hello everyone I was doing maths with my friend Leilani and we have been working on 4 questions. These questions were hard at first but then when I went and asked my teach Ms Komor about these questions I started to get a better understanding on what I should do when it comes to tough and hard questions like these ones.



What I found challenging about this was trying to explain to miss what I don't understand about this question and what I needed help with. What I enjoyed about this was how me and my friend Leilani were helping each other with these maths questions. I think my next learning step is trying to read the question more carefully so I won't have to ask the teacher for help.

The Argumentation

Argumentation

WALT: State our opinion in a positive but honest way

Hello everyone me and my class have been doing an augmentation with our visitor named Ms. Treena. She was talking about how we have voices and how she should use our voices to state our opinions. She also talked about the pests in our world and how they are all helping our population crumble down. These pests/Predators are known as cats, stoats, feral rabbits, possums, hedgehogs and rats/mice.

One thing I found challenging about this was trying to keep my opinion positive but still disagree and give my honest feelings. One thing I enjoyed was having to express myself and tell my perspective on how I feel.

She gave us some instructions on how we should state our comment or opinion
1.  Remember that people from the public/Anyone is going to be reading your comment
2. Make sure that your ready to reply when people give their opinions about your opinion

Kiwisport reflection 😀😀😀

Kiwisport reflection - Football 

Hello everyone me and my friends were doing our football lesson/ kiwisport lesson. First of all we went in a circle and we started doing jogging on the spot which was surprising called chopping on the spot. After that we had to go and play passes and catches.

First we had to even out the teams and put our finger on the lace of the ball and pass it to the other person. But then it started raining and then we had to go inside. After it stopped raining we went and played a game outside.

What I found challenging  about this was trying to pass the ball to everyone while we were being stressed by everyone blocking and running around us. What I enjoyed about this was getting to have a run. I think my next learning steps is learning the moves to this game.

Te tuhi blog reflection

Te Tuhi 

Hello everyone me and my class went to have a te tuhi lesson today and we were learning about abstract art and we did some abstract art. We learnt about the technology that we use now, like controllers, laptops, and other technologies.

After that we went and had some morning tea. We were looking at different exhibitions and talking about their inspirations and where they were originated. We talked about the tongan symbols and how they originated from the european culture. but then this artist changed the symbols into symbols that were more tongan based. After we went and we looked at some pictures. we talked about this picture with this person giving the english captain James Cook some gifts I don't the name of this person but I when I find out tell you on the comments. After that we went to a showcase of artworks. Then we went and watched a movie showcasing some pieces of his artwork.

Abstract Art 

WALA:

The different types of technology we use for abstract art.

Hello everyone yesterday me and my class have been talking about abstract art and what we need to do when we're doing it. I think that when your doing abstract art you grab lots of shapes, colours and different types of textures mixed together. Abstract art is known to have creativity. In Lesson 1 of abstract art I saw that abstract art is used to disguise an object by using shape, color and line to disguise it.


What I found challenging about this lesson was trying to find all the hidden objects in this drawing with a bottle, a wine cup and a tea cup. I wish I could show you but I don't have access to it. What I enjoyed about this lesson was looking at all the kind of ways to do abstract art and the different colours and shapes people use to create it.

Abstract art can be simple

I think my next learning steps for this is to learn more about how abstract art is a really complex and creative genre of art. 

What I learnt

I learnt that abstract art is an art used to disguise an object in reality by using shapes, colours and lines. Abstract art does not rely on a specific sketch but mixes things to create an effect. 

Technology

Step 1 - Dice the onion and fry with mince until it its cook

Step 2 - Add vegetables and 1/2 c of water with 1 block of vegetable ox. 

Mince Gravy

My first Blog Reflection for Term 4 2018

My Holiday

In the holidays me and my family celebrated my birthday... We went to the restaurant called ghin ghas khan. This restaurant was the kind of restaurants where you do the buffets. A buffet is when we keep eating and eating food for like a certain amount of time. We were there for like 2 hours and then we went home and had a rest. I got some money from my cousin and I got some money. The next day I went to buy some things.

The second thing I did in the holidays was just staying home and watching tv sometimes I would go to my grandmas house and sometime I would go to my aunties house. I would just enjoy staying at home and doing my own things and eating, drinking and sleeping. 

I didn't do much blogging in the holidays, I was just watching my youtube videos, played games and did some other stuff.

I hope you enjoyed my so called holiday, Please leave a comment down below

Explanation Writing Paragraph 2

IALT: Try Explain How The See Structure Works

Hello everyone I Have been working on my writing and I have been writing my first paragraph. In this first paragraph I needed to write my statement - Inform the reader what the topic of the paragraph is about, Write my explanation - Explain more about the topic, My Example - Back up the explanation with evidence it's true, Effect - When this happens how does it effect other things. 

S - Statement

E - Explanation

E - Example 

E - Effect

SEE Structure.

Tsunami are mostly caused by Earthquakes that move the oceans floor. This refers to the Earth made up of these large pieces called tectonic plates. Usually grinding or moving together, or sometimes they would get stuck. When this happens the pressure builds and suddenly the plates get moved into a new position. For example let's say that the Earth is staying still and then suddenly two tectonic plates suddenly shift together, this creates energy waves underwater which reach up to the surface which reach up to the surface this makes the water rise above it’s normal sea level which creates a huge wave which is known to be called a Tsunami. Another example of this is if the water along the shoreline moved back dramatically, it most likely means that a tsunami will occur in just a few seconds or minutes. A Tsunami is not just one wave but it’s a series of waves or a wave train. This means that Tsunamis are most likely created by Earthquakes.

What We Need In A Blogpost

IALT: Explain the things we need in a blogpost and how Important blog posts are

hello everyone I am going to be writing about what important things we need in blogs. Blogs are really important to us in our schools and it's a great to share your school work to the world. But Blogs are not just when you display you work you still need certain things to inform to the reader what your talking about or what something is about.

Tuakana Teina day

Tuakana Teina day

Walt: Reflect on what we did on tuakana teina day 

Last Tuesday me and my class had tuakana teina day and my buddies were Sofele, Aletheia, Bianna and Aja. First of all we first did a presentation more about us and things like our favourite colours, what house were in. If you don't know what I mean by houses, So basically there 4 house teams in our schools, these houses are the roads close to our school if we live close to one of these roads were in that team or we get to choose our team. So that's how it works. After that we had to go i a circle and say these things with our buddie. Then we went with our buddies outside to do some P.E. First we did some exercise activities then we went and ran on the track two times. 

After morning tea we did this puzzle activity with our buddies we had to move around with our buddie with a paper and solve a puzzle with the clues around our class. After that room 5 came and we had some fun with them. After that we had lunch. After lunch we had some fun with a dress up 

activity.    

Kiwisports

Kiwisports

Walt: reflect on what we did in kiwisport

On Monday we did kiwi sports, and for kiwisport we had boxing. Our instructors name is coach pax. She firstly told us the 3 commandments (rules) she had for us. The first one was discipline which was meaning to come to kiwisport lesson and never be late. The second commandment was Respect which was referring to always respecting others, yourself and teachers, and the last commandment was safety which was meaning to never use these movements to harm anybody.   

After that we played this game called knee tag which is when we had to use our punching gloves to tag each others knees and to try not to be tagged was to use the space we had to try get away from each other. when you get tagged the other person gets a point and they start all over again. 

After all of that we worked on our stances and our hitting. Which we jabs, jab cross and combo.

What I found challenging about this was playing the game knee tag, I found this challenging because how our partners were moving and blocking their knees most of the time. I enjoyed learning the different hitting moves in this activity. My next learning steps for this is to maybe put more effort in what I am doing so my teacher won't tell me to try harder

Natural Disasters - Cyclone

Natural disasters cyclones

Hello everyone today I have been working on finding a definition on cyclones. In my group was Lydia, Coralee and Suave. We were first given an article and we had to find all the key information and key ideas and put them all together. When we found all of them we had to sequence all of them. After we sequenced them we had to find all the key information in that and put it all together to make it shorter. It was really hard but we finally got through it. 

What I found challenging about this was trying to find all right information and not information that was unnecessary. What I enjoyed about this was the new information about cyclones I learnt. I think my new learning steps are trying to learn all the different countries cyclones were in

Walt: Play games to be able to connect with our maths.

Key things we are learning about

• Decimals 
• Multiplication 
• Fractions
• Division

Hello everyone I have been doing maths with my class and I have been playing maths games and I have been playing decimal games with my group. My group was playing a game when you have cards and you had to read them and pass them over to each other.

What I found challenging about this was trying to add all the decimals and see the right card to go to. What I enjoyed about this was how challenging it was. My next learning steps are working on my decimals and fractions more.

Tectonic plates

Tectonic plates are the things that the Earth is made out of and the things that are thought to create some natural disasters such as earthquakes such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis.

This morning I have been learning about the Earth's layers and the things they are made out of. There are 4 layers in the Earth the Crust, the Mantle, the Outer core and the Inner Core. These layers all have similarities and differences. These things are types of scientific elements, like Iron, Allinumian, Magma and so much more.



I enjoyed learning about these things and how much importance they have to the Earth then we thought they did. What I found challenging about this was the activity we had to do which was the map pieces we had to put together. My next learning steps for this is to next time listen more to the video so I could pick up so key information and important things.
