Six-Sentences Story

Once Upon a Time there was a handsome boy named JayJay. He lived in a small cabin with the sight of a nearby river. He was a poor boy but he had the ability to heal anyone who was injured. The problem was, no one believed he was able to do this. He felt betrayed, but one day he saw a girl bleeding to death. He decided to heal the girl in front of the whole village, and that’s when the people made a celebration about this amazing save, and gave him the label, Chief.

Task Description -

This work was for week 3-4, since most of us didn't finish on week 3. Just as usually, Whaea Kelly gives us a school journal and picks a page so we can read about it, then answer the questions she has made for us. This article wasn't too bad, it wasn't easy or hard but I was able to finish it.

How To Be A Good Friend!

WALT: Write explanation writings

Betrayal, Fraud, Peer Pressure. Do these words describe a good friend? Do good friends tell your secrets without permission? In my opinion, It's a big no because we shouldn't do that to our friends, here's my explanation on how to be a good friend.

Someone who listens, A friend who listens is someone who cares about you and how you feel. A friend to lean on whenever your feeling emotional, a friend who gives you the advice to help you get through your problems. They wouldn't interrupt your conversation, but they would sit down and encourage you to move forward.

Honesty! Someone honest and truthful is the type of friends people like. They want friends who keep secrets and doesn't tell anyone their hardest times. If you have a friend who always tells you their secrets, that means they trust you to keep that away from everyone else.

Communication is a big deal with friends usually at the age of 12 and older. Friends love to communicate with each other 24/7. When a friend doesn't reply to the other, they think they're ignoring them for something they did. Make sure to contact your friends every day, every night, every morning or you'll be having nightmares in your sleep.

Have you been a good friend yourself? Do you think you're a good friend? Take my advice and be a good friend to all of those around you. Bad people make their lives worse even when they don't notice it. Take care of yourself and be kind!

Quote - "Best friends mock each other for every single reason,

Even if it's true, it still means they love you"

Learning The Meanings About Persuasive Writings!

When do we use it? This term our class will be answer those questions for you and we'll be doing some persuasive writing to show you how to write one. Wait until I write one myself. Keep Smiling Kids!

Hatter's Gold!

WALT: Read fluently and accurately recognising and understanding punctuation. I focus on meaning and phrasing.

Task Description -

We are back in the school vibes now and my class are doing the usual. Our book that we are reading is 'Hatter's Gold' which is about a boy named Laurie whose dad works in the mines. Sometimes they have strikes but it very rare, one day they came out of the mines during the middle of the day which is very surprising because they barely come out. I won't spoil anymore but make sure to keep working kids and you'll be the greatest of the greatest!

Measurement Reminiscence!

WALT: calculate area and perimeter

Task Description -

New term this week and we are learning about area and perimeter. At first I didn't get anything about them but now that Mrs Stone has taught me some things about it, I was able to get the correct answers. I enjoy doing area and perimeter but the next step for me is to learn how to find out other shapes!

Another Holiday Of Nothingness!

Woo Hoo! I was so eager to go home but found out that we were staying home for the holidays. I mean staying home isn't that bad but since it was the holidays I felt the need that I had to go outdoors and enjoy the breeze. I know that some people had a good holiday because they got to play fortnite or go on the internet 24/7 but that seems dull. I wanna go to an amusement park or go somewhere you can explore and investigate.

One of the things I did during the holidays was listening to music. The one thing that satisfied me was music. I have a big passion for music including dancing, singing, etc. Not many people know this but it's true, I love music so much that I need a break from it sometimes. Sorry to say but this is
pretty much the only thing that I enjoyed in the holidays. Take care and make sure that if you're having the same problem as me, nag your Mum and Dad to take you somewhere out of the house. It's not only good for you but I ensure you that you'll have fun.

Task Description -

Do you like the feeling of being cooped up in your house? I don't like it at all but sometimes you just have to deal with it. Some things that you could probably do if your at home doing nothing is begging your parents to go somewhere! Maybe don't do that but that's the best option I have, unless your a music freak like me.

We Back In The School Vibes!

Back In Business Kids! To our surprise, we found Mr Burt, Mrs Tele'a, Mr Somerville and Ms Va'afusuanga having a BBQ. Our theme that the staff had picked for us is 'Something in the water - He Mea I Roto I Te Wai'. Let's start our journey and eat some Smoked Trout on the way!

Then what eats the seagull? Team 4's movie was the most suitable movie for all ages. They said sea creatures like Plankton, but the Mussels eat them, but the Crabs eat them, but the Seagulls eat them so then what eats the seagulls? Technically, nothing eats the seagulls but they are threatened by human beings because we have been polluting our area. I learned something new from that video, the sky is called water.

Cell, Nucleus, Chromosome, DNA, Gene! As usual, Team 5 did a little production to show us what their team will be learning. The teachers made a song about the five things that live inside the Cell (including the Cell itself). The song started slow but then got faster, kind of like a nursery rhyme. The question that we have to figure out is how are the living organisms connected?

Overall, my favourite thing about our immersion assembly was getting to eat food but not just any type of food, seafood! Since Mr Burt and the Prefects didn't have any stickers to give out so instead, they gave out prawns, fish, mussels, etc. I'm more of a meat lover but I do fancy the different flavour of seafood. What I learnt from eating seafood was, 'Don't judge something on what it smells or looks like, just enjoy how it is!'.

What do you think lives in the ocean but hasn't been exposed yet? Us humans still have lots to learn about the earth and how we are all connected in different types of ways. We have only discovered 5% of the ocean so that means 95% is undiscovered. Maybe you could join us on our journey to learn some fascinating things about the ocean and what lies beneath it.

Task Description -

By now we should all know how the immersion assembly's work because we've had it every single term. The management team chooses a theme for the whole school, our teachers pick a subject or something that has to do with our theme to learn about.

Never Judge What You See!

Long ago there was a place where all Dinosaurs lived. A place where no living person was found except for Tarzan. Tarzan was a person who acted like an animal, he climbed tree's, ate bugs, he did everything that a caveman would do. No dinosaur ate him or touched him until one day.......

Tarzan was doing the usual things that he would do but then a dinosaur that Tarzan had never seen before tried to eat him. He swang through the jungle, one branch to another his hand slipped and he fell to the ground. He tried opening his eyes but something seemed wrong. It was quiet, very quiet. He stood up, his face was in shock. The dinosaur that was chasing him, was standing right in front of him.

He thought that this was the end for him but instead the dinosaur licked his face. All along he thought that the dinosaur tried to eat him but really the dinosaur just wanted someone to play with. He wasn't scary and mean but he was nice and playful. And that's the end of my story!!!

A Random Poem About A Mother...

I was raised by a mother, who didn't treat me wrong

But she was a mother, who kept me strong

She would always keep, my family together 

Through all the bad times, she would be there forever

She's a hard worker, she works all day
She may be stressed, but she smiles every day

Kauri Island Reading

WALT: Find clues within the text.

Task Description -

This week my group has been reading a story called Kauri Island. This story is just about a Palagi girl, a maori boy and a pregnant mam. The Palagi girl had to find some time of herbs and plants to make a type of medicine to help the mam's backache.

Daring Decimals!

WALT: convert between fractions, decimals and percentage 

Task Description -

The same thing like last week we had to convert fractions, decimals and percentages. I think the hardest one out of all of them had to be the percentages, I haven't been a fan of percentages because I just don't get it.

Decimal Fractions!

WALT: convert between fractions and decimals

Task Description -

This weeks learning was about doing Decimal and fractions and how to convert a decimal into a fraction or the opposite. We also had to add and subtract some fractions and decimals but in my opinion the fraction one was harder than the decimal questions. This is nothing much but I hope you learn something.

Africa Facts

WALT: Use the elements of an Information Report to write a report about different topics.

Do you have a place somewhere beyond the world that you would like to visit? One of the places that I've always wanted to go to is Africa! It may have lots of wild animals but nature is one of the things that I would love to learn about in the future. Here are some things about Africa that you might not know about.

Everyone knows that there are a lot of animals in Africa but did you know that there were penguins living there? You would've never thought that penguins would actually live in Africa but there is a colony living near the cape in South Africa. They are attracted to the cold currents there.

There are 54 countries in Africa - and 9 territories -with a total of more than 1.1 billion people living on the continent, which is 15% of the world's total population. Find a clickable Africa map here. Africa is the 2nd biggest continent so Africa's population is 1.216 billion.

I wish I could tell you more facts about Africa but I have no other ideas that include Africa. I hope you've learned something new about Africa (unless you are really smart and you already knew these facts) but i'm still learning more about continents and all the countries that are in those continents. Learning is something that we hate to do but it actually helps us so keep learning kids and you'll be successful in your life.

Task Description -

All I wrote about was some little facts about Africa. It's not much but this is all I could do so hope this doesn't break your eyes!

Come and Learn Some Things About The Continents With Me!

WALT: Using code and making a scratch animation for our theme!

Instructions - Firstly press space and wait for the cat to disappear. Press left arrow key and wait until the background turns back to the World Map. Then Press 'C' key then sit back and relax and enjoy the show! If you would like to restart it and watch it again press b and repeat the same steps!

Task Description -
This is my scratch animation and let me tell you some things about it. This was my first time playing around with scratch so it was a bit hard for me to code but I seemed to be doing great. What I learned was a lot of things about the continents and it's up on my blog if you want to check some of those out. Making this took some time and effort into it, I think I took about a month to make this whole thing. The music is suppose to represent the country meaning it's a song from that country/continent. The last one which is Paris, that song wasn't actually from Paris but I just chose a random song that I could find.

Everyone know that there are 7 continents but sometimes I wonder what about New Zealand. It doesn't seem to be in the world map when you search up 7 continents, If I were ever a debating person, I would debate for my life. New Zealand deserves to be at least something, even though it is a country, it deserves MORE! Anyways, I hope you enjoy my little animation and if you want comment down below what you think but please be positive. LOVE YOU GUYS LOTS <3

TACOS!!! For The Mexicans And Americans!

WALT: Recognize and use the Informational Writing.
Don’t we just love tacos! Did you know that this type of food was made in Mexico? I will be telling you about the amazing, delicious and most famous Mexican food….. TACOS!

Tacos! As we all know tacos are the greatest food/dish that we could ever have. America is one of the places that you would definitely find tacos and that’s because they eat TONS of tacos, they probably eat it every day! When it’s Taco Tuesday, no one messes around because it’s such a traditional/national day for all Mexicans and maybe even Americans! Tacos are so filling but the word taco means light lunch??? In my opinion, I would change it to FILLING lunch because I can get full on one taco. Did you also know that Taco was first created/made in the 1950s! Surprising right? Something that we love eating and still eat this present day has been around for so many years!

These are the only facts that I know about Tacos so I hope you enjoyed knowing these little facts about Mexico’s delicious tacos. Just remember TACOS WERE MADE IN MEXICO!!! Just a reminder to all those Americans who somehow don’t like Mexicans!
