Old toys - 1889

Yesterday I was enjoying my day at Howick Historical Village. It was an awesome village to explore. It was fun and quite tiring, but it was really enjoyable.

So we began with toys. One thing that I remember is playing with a wooden ball. It wasn’t bouncy like the one we have now but it was worth playing with. My favorite one was the magic spinner. The magic spinner is a small circle that is made out wood but it was colored in rainbow. When you spinned it, it changed colors. I loved playing with the toys.

 

Matariki poem

The date changed and the stars shined

There were seven stars with wonderful names
They shine bright like diamonds

It appears in late may and appears in early june

They separate and the next season is evil

They came together and the next season was mild

The seven sister are high and dry in the sky

The seven stars an be seen with naked eyes stand out during the night

They execute different thing

The don’t chill they film defined

One Moment in Time

This morning New Zealand went wild when the whistle blew. When the whistle blew something happened that all New Zealanders have been waiting for. They won America’s cup on a boat race. We are noboled about you for bringing us something that we’ve all been waiting for.

Matariki: My reflections for the past few months

This year I have improved so much. For the past few months I was like a truck that has been out of fuel. Now I feel like a Mustang that is  being driven  at a hundred kilometers an hour.

I think I am going to sports camp. Last year I was really lazy I didn’t turn up for the training and I got kicked out of the team. But this year that might not happen, I have turn up for the training. I would be able to play volleyball, soccer, maybe tennis. I will try my hardest and hope for the best to try and be in the team.

Maths what is my favorite subject out of reading and writing. I love doing maths, it’s really fun but when it come to testing. I have improved I had a 3A and now I have a 4B. It feel unbelievable when you move up a level in your learning. When I got a four I said, “ Congratulation” in my mind.

I felt like a hero when I joined the patrols team. Being a patroller is being superman, helping the children to cross the road. I help the children to cross the road because they need to learn from what we are doing. I used to do road patrols last year as well and this year. I want to help the kids cross the road in the future as well. I want to do road patrols because that is what a year 8 student should do.

I think I would have a good life when I get big. I think will have a huge amount of fun at sports camp. If I make it.

Measuring Time

Learning volume

The third screenshot helped me get a better understanding of volume. Although it was the hardest one, but the best one. It showed me how to find the face, vertices and edges. Now I have about 70% understanding of volume.

The 1st one was one of the best one. It showed me the best ways to do volume. I was quite easy after I learnt how to do it. It was really fun doing the 1st activity.

The final one which is the 2nd one was the worst one. It was the worst one because there was no questions to answer. It was about finding the area. I did not like this one because it did not have any questions to answer. It was quite boring as well.

 

Visualizing

Walht: Think about the images we “see” as we read.

Mushrooms and pepperoni sausage formed thick layers on top of one another while the white mozzarella cheese bubbled over the bright red tomato sauce. Each time I took a bite I planned it so that I got a taste of every luscious ingredient. My taste buds celebrated every single time! Oooh, so good.

To make a movie while reading a text is easy. It is really easy for me to visualize. I did the text above really easily because as I was reading I was watching a movie in my mind. Then after I drew it. I did this by myself I did not have a partner. Next I would like to make a movie of long texts.  

Angle

Yesterday we were doing some measurement. We were learning acute, right and obtuse angle. I really loved that work.

Acceleration in reading

I have improved in maths since last term. Last term I had 3A and now I have 4B. So I have moved an entire level. I feel very excited about my result.

Acceleration In Maths

I have used more energy than last term. Because Last term I got a 3A and now I have got 4B. So I am very happy about my level in maths. Next I would like to get to a 5A.

Samoan Language Week

Last week it was our Samoan language. We did the Samoan Sasa dance, and I did not really get it. But I still had fun doing it. It is quite hard to dance to the Samoan Sasa.

Finishing our work

“Guess what?” We have finished our project, that we’ve been working on for the past few weeks. It look absolutely incredible. It is about the problems of Glen Innes. We work in a groups of four, in our group we had Mya, Alicia and Capella.( Plus me but yeah).  

Personification Writing

I was a shiny soccer ball enjoying my beautiful  life on a shelf. Thousands of people came to Rebel Sport. Until one day a  boy almost two meters tall, came towards me with a evil face. He bought me, and took me home. At his house I had a brand new life.

At his house I was alone. No one was taking me outside to play. Then it was on a Sunday when he brought some visitors to his house. One of the visitor’s came toward me, and grabbed me.

Then he asked my owner, “Shall we play with this soccer ball?”

My owner said, “Of course why not, anytime.”

They took me and played with me. They were just passing me to each other. One of them was wearing a rainbow colored soccer boot. The soccer boot wasn’t  friendly at all. He kicked me as hard as he could, and I found myself lying on a pile of mud. I tried to get out but I was struggling. Then my owner came to me and scrubbed me on the grass.

About a few days later, I was at a football stadium. At the football stadium I made a few friends. After a minute I saw famous football players coming out of a tunnel. Like Pogba, Ibrahimovic and De gea. I was crying that saw famous footballers. The match started by the referee blowing the whistle. When he blew the whistle Ibrahimovic passed me to Marcus Rashford. After forty four minutes Manchester United was winning by three nil. At the end I knew that Manchester United was going for the win, and they actually won the match.

From that day on I went to many football matches.
