Something I've learn't this week

W.A.L.T add detail in our writing.

1. Thing I learn't this week was the order of operation in maths, I did really get it at first and now get it. The order of operation is 1  Brackets 2 Exponents  3 ÷ x  4 + - .

1. Thing I need to work on is always try to stay focus with my tasks.

1. Thing I enjoyed this week was learning CPR at the surf club.  

Beach Day

The first thing we did was learn what D, R, S, A, B, C and it means Danger, Response, Send help, Air way, Breathing and CPR. After we did that we learn't to do CPR with dummy, with a baby it was 2 fingers and with a child 1 hand and with an adult 2 hands.

After we had morning tea for 15 minutes, then we went for a beach clean and there was a challenge of which group would get the most rubbish will get a prize. Soon after that we  did a few challenges  the first one was the wheatbix eating and it was the first to finish a wheatbix, Then after we did the chubby bunny challenge which was really fun.

Then after that we had lunch for half an hour then most of us went out and played in the water for about an hour, but the water was really cold. After we got changed and  went back to the college. That was my day at the beach.

What ROAR means for our school

                                                                         ROAR

Roar is something that we follow in the college and each one of us always try to follow it and it stands for.

The first R stands for Respect which means to treat others how you want to be treated.

 O stands for O.C pride which means to where the right uniform at all times.

A stands for Active learner which means to always listen and do you work in time.

And the last R stands for Responsibility which means to charge your chrome book up every day before you bring it to school. 

Something that I have learnt this week

1 thing I have learnt this week is that I can always keep on going and to never give up to anything.

1 goal I have achieved this week was to always try to answer each question in tests.

1 thing that I need to improve on is to pick the right friends.

Maths Problem Solving

1. Thing I've learn't was that you should always try to solve the problem with what ever way we can with like multiplication.

1. Thing I need to work on is to always try to work the problem out with my group and to always help.

Skills that my group have used in the problem solving were working with each other and listening to each others Ideas. 

Maths problem solving slide and My reading slide

After presenting our Group Maths Problem solving slideshows and our own Reading Journal
slideshows I learnt that: It really takes a long time to make both the sides but with my maths group
help make the maths side, I really enjoyed making them both.

1 thing that was good about my/our presentation was:The reading slide but 1 thing that was the
good was the draw of the Waka Hoe and the patterns and the meaning of them. Their was every thing
that me and my group for problem solving would do while we try to get the answer.

1 thing I found hard about our/my presentation was:The reading slide took a long time but there wasn't
really many question and 1 thing that I found hard was drawing the Waka Hoe.

1 thing I need to improve on is:to add more detail to my reading slide because I didn't add much detail
to the question.

My reading

Tupaia

Tupaia

Tupaia was a master navigator,who was born in Raiatea, French Polynesia. Tupaia was well known for being on the Endeavour with James Cook, Tupaia came to New Zealand with James to see what there was on the Island and to translate for him and to navigate for him, Tupaia died from Malaria. and I found out that Tupaia could communicate with the moari.

What I've learnt about Matariki

Matariki is a cluster of star witch rises in the Northeast every June to July, Matariki is the sign to Maori's as the new year. Matariki is not just celebrated in New Zealand, it is celebrated  in diffrent places of the world.

Matariki is the mother of 8 children, Matariki is the gathering of people and whanau and reflection and the environment. It is the brightest star of them all and the biggest.

And that is what I've learnt about Matariki.

Our rocket launch

last week  all the  rocket groups launch their rockets. When it was my groups turn I checked the wind and it was still. After that I measured the water and I put in 275ml  in to the bottle, then Daniel put the rocket on to the launcher then Koya pumped it to 60 PSI. Soon later we all counted down from 5 then  I pressed the leather and the rocket blasted off. When I went to get the rocket I realised that a few of the fins fell off the rocket.

We probably needed to change the fins so they would be a bit bigger then the regular ones and needed some weight in the nose of the rocket.

My team  mostly collaborate well and didn't really fight  about making the rocket, but mostly the whole rocket I made and most the time it was fun to make and I had to plan it and that bit was really boring. So if I do this again another time I would want more help in my group want them to not talk as much as my group.

Teachers Strike

Do you know why we had a day off last week on Wednesday? Because  all of the teachers in New Zealand  went on strike.

The reason  why  the teachers went on strike is because  their  work load is to long and don't get paid enough but it isn't about the pay for them it is and the kids for the teachers, so we all get a good  education and a good job.

I disagree that the teachers that should go on strike because the parents will have to find someone to look after there kids.

Revolution Tour

Boom boom boom as the music came roaring from the hall. A few minutes later the leader of the group, his name was Ben started talking about  what was happening in his life.  

My favourite part was about his friend called Nathen,  the story began by Ben moving to a new  school in the middle of the year. Once he moved he had no friends at his new school  But  Nathen knew Ben because they lived next door to each other. They were both like best friend, everyday they would go home  and watch there favourite tv program Dragon Ball. After the  Dragon ball  finished they would race down there drive way and wait until 5 on the dot to Nathens Dad to come home . One day in the weekend Ben went with his dad to go clean out the pool  and when they were finish and started to lock up Ben's dad said I have 3 words to tell you Nathen has past.  

That was my favourite bit of it all and I hope everyone learnt some thing about it.

Commemoration day

On Monday the 11th of march I attended the Commemoration day, which was at the Otaki College. After we sat down they started the karanga, Whaea Maharata, Whaea Destin and this other person and I didn't no what her name was.

I enjoyed when they started to put the wreaths on the stands, each wreath was given to someone to put on the stand. And almost all the wreaths had flowers.

The SSOtaki had only had one gun on the ship it only was used for cargo. The SSOtaki sunk in world war 1.

At the end of the Commemoration we finish it off with a prayer.

My Act Of Kindness

Preposition Sentences

Today we learn't about preposition sentences,  preposition sentences are have a a few words and you move the location of them around so you don't have one boring old sentence. I was really fun learning about it.
