Maths creation

Hello there bloggers, this week for maths we created a mini tent. We created by using tooth picks and modelling clay. We created this because I think we wanted to be creative. The problems I encountered were that I couldn't get a clear idea at the beginning but i began to understand while I was doing it. But after a few minutes, it began to fall because it was either  it stayed there to long or not enough strength. I also had fun because I think I made a creative tent. I found out that you can stick toothpicks into modelling clay. The shapes I made were triangles, cross and a cone. This was my creation. 

Puncuation work

Hi there bloggers,

This term, the teachers of Te Waka Ako have set new tasks 

for us this term. It is something called the literacy tumble, the

literacy tumble is a set of tasks that we have to do every day (Except

Friday) between 9.05 - 9.30 or 9.30 - 9.55.  I've only done one of them, so this

is my work. My work is about putting the commas in the right place. I found this work easy and
I am still working on them.

Hi there bloggers, a few weeks ago, Mr Ross told Waitemata we could do a passion project if we wanted to...we all wanted to. A passion project is that you put all your hobbies or things you like to a google slide. This was my passion project.  

Painting the town personal response

Hi there, this week for reading, we read a book journal called 

painting the town and we red the book before up the pipe

and the worlds water is running out. The town was based on

Christchurch, the city that always have earthquakes. So the book was

about almost half of Christchurch's were toppled and everyone is sad. So artists decided to 

paint the town to lift the people's spirit up. So top secret (reading group) did an

personal response about what we liked, questions etc.

This is my response.

Compare and constrast map

Hi there bloggers. This week for reading, we have been reading two books/Journals. The books were named up the pipe and the worlds water is running out. Those two books/Journals were based on the environment about water and sludge. One the books, Up the pipe, Waitemata, my home group, made soap by following the steps in the book! So we did a compare and contrast map that shows the differences and similarities between the two books. This was my map.

Changing our blog appearence

Hi there, this week for cyber smart, Jared came in and taught us how to change our blog appearance by doing be funky. First, we had to log in to thing link, then we had to take a webcam, then we can change our skin, hair and we can even add graphics! The reason why we had to do this is that people who visit our blog won't recognize us.
 
As I was doing this, I never expected to look this cool. I have never been on this experience. I noticed
that I could go into the internet and search up cool stuff. I also noticed that there are lots of graphics that you can choose and you can select one by adding your own one or a picture of an event (e.g earth day, winter, Mothers day).

Moving into the new classroom - Te waka ako

Hi there, this monday, rooms seven,eight and nine moved to the new building. Before that, we sang warm pacific greetings, then aotearoa. The kapa haka sang a song. After that michael wood talked about how grateful he was to open a new building because it was his first one. After a few minutes, michael finally cut the ribbon.   We were really excited to go into the new buildings to take a look. We went inside te waka ako, the name of the building. It had four colours. Blue was named Hauraki, yellow was manukau and my classroom, green, was called waitemata. As the juniors went in, they could see some new furniture and there some old ones. they weren’t allowed to wear shoes because the government made the decision.The whole school had to line up in front of the building for the big ceremony where it was cold. Michel wood cut the Ribbon and it was

officially open.We get all this new furniture. All room seven,eight and nine are all in one classroom.We can work with other people and the furnitures comfortable.I felt excited when I caught sight of it.I was also feeling cold because of the weather.

I was feeling kind of nervous when I got in because it was kind of confusing.We learnt from different teacher’s and get to work with different student’s. We Get to put our bags and shoes in cubbiholes.

Right now we cannot wear shoes in the classroom. We cannot run in the classrooms. We can move any space you want but you have to play by the rules. The negative was that we miss our old classrooms.We can’t put our shoes inside. Sometimes we don’t know if the bell rang.
