Going Back To Tech

Today we went back to Tech and I'm in Mrs Sharma class aka science and stem. This is what I learnt. What do you know about scientist? They are very smart and hard working people.

What do you think scientists do? Create new things so people can use.

Have you ever thought about becoming a scientist? No, It seems boring but it will make you intelligent.

Three Branches of Science.

1.Physics

2.Chemistry

3.Biology

Electricity,Gravity,Forces,motion,magnet

Chemicals,salts,medicines,elements

plants,animals,Environment,human body.

Ecology:Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms.

My last Tech session for this year.

 My last tech session was very good. I had to make the most of it because this is my last tech session for the year, we just finished the work that we didn't do last week. This was tech session was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. The work that we did was compost and recycling, and thank you Mrs sharma and my other tech teachers for teaching me stuff that I didn't know how to do and I am looking foward to seeing you next year. 

Back to School

 This is what alert level 3.2 at school looks like, new rules and bringing masks. I wasn't looking forward to talking to my friends because I do it essentially everyday on google meets and Ps4, but I was excited to see everyone face to face. I know Auckland has been getting more cases everyday and we should probably stay home for a little bit longer. But I actually liked coming to school today because it is better than doing home learning at home. Coming back to school is way different than my life at home. The things that have changed are our times, we start at 10am and we end at 2pm, we can't touch each other and we can't hug each other and most importantly we have to social distance.

Manaiakalani

 

Today was Manaiakalani film festival today. But this year's Manaiakalani, our school did not participate and that was really sad. I really liked this year's Manaiakalani was very interesting because all the movies had a specific topic in there movie, and I really liked how they talked about things that would help people. The school that I enjoyed the most was Tamaki college films because they had a lot of information in there films. 

Icon

 What is New Zealand known for?

New Zealand is known for actually a lot of things, I will put pictures so you can see what New Zealand is known for. An examples is the famous gumboot and that Haka that the famous All blacks team perform. These are all very special to New Zealand because, these are something they saw or they were proud of growing up and looking and these New Zealand Icons.

Diwali 2021

 

Diwali is a celebration, and if you are thinking what does Diwali mean, it actually means a row of lights. If your thinking of other questions like how is Diwali celebrated, well the answer to that is; Diwali is celebrated by socialising and exchanging gifts with family and friends. Diwali is a time to fill up light and love. If your thinking of how many days Diwali is celebrated, well the answer is 5. Thanks for reading,  that is everything I know about Diwali. 

What the whole of New Zealand was waiting for

 The game that we have been waiting for All blacks vs USA. All Blacks score the first try of the game. Damian Mckenzie who carried the team to the win. All Blacks hasn't versed USA since 2014 which was years ago. My idol in All blacks is Ardie Savea because he leads his team to a great victory and he supports his team even if he's not playing. People call him All Blacks captain. At the end of the game everyone was pushing hard to get a score because there was only 10 minutes on the clock, so they had to try their best to score. After the 10 minutes the game ended, and the scores were shocking. The look on people's faces were disappointing, and the score was 14-104 with the all blacks taking the win.

Fractions

 

Today we added fractions. When the denominators were the same we just added the top numbers keeping the denominators the same. Sometimes we had to simplify our answer. We used the fraction wall to help. For example 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 = 5/10 = 6/12

What did I learn today? I learnt how to answer the questions and this is making me get better and my fractions. Fractions is something that I am getting better at and you should try these methods to get better at fractions.

Science with Mrs Sharma

 

Today we moved tech classes. But we had to move online. My new tech teacher is Mrs Sharma and she does Science. The picture on the left is what we did. We had question and we had to answer it. I really enjoyed learning new science facts.

ALGEBRA

 

Today we had another maths session and this one we did algebra. Today I learnt the letters represent numbers in algebra. I think I am getting better at algebra. The teacher who made me push my maths up is Mrs Allan. I can get better and my algebra if i practice everyday at home and joining these maths sessions.

PERCENTAGES

 

So today we done maths with Mrs Allan. Our maths we did today was Percentages. The bottom photo is a instruction of how I can get better at my percentages. I can get better at percentages if I do these maths everyday. The focus of this session was Percentages. We also did this pipe game and it helped me with my percentages.

MATHS

 

Today we met with Mrs Allan, Mrs Cardoza and Mr Nevalagi. We First done Multiplication by Heart, Transum Tables, Fast Factors and Gapminder.

These maths will help me get better than before.  

MATHLIGON

 

   

Today we met up with Mrs Allan, Mr Nevalagi and Mrs Cardoza.

These maths are helping me get better at timestables. I found It really easy but It will make me understand more of my times.

This is my Transum record of my learning of tables. I aim to have all my tables trophies by the end of this week.

LOCKDOWN

As you know the whole of New Zealand went into lockdown, so we all had to stay in our bubbles. Lockdown for me is now kinda getting boring but it is fun at the same time. My lockdown is just staying at home and playing games, but at the same time we have to do online learning. I heard that age 12-15 can now get the vaccination. We are basically getting more cases everyday. The whole lockdown I have just being doing some of my homework, playing games and listening to the news for the latest Covid-19 updates. The Prime minister Jacinda Ardern has said that we have beaten Covid-19 before and we can beat it again.

My Grandma

My Grandma is one of a kind. She is a shopping lady wherever she goes. He dances to her music on the radio, to the beat. She is a very talented dancer. She is a good cook when it comes to island food. She is very good at everything she does. She has a lot of friends, and she talks to anyone that she knows. My grandma is a very kind grandma, and she is a person that goes to church every Sunday. She is kind of strict. She can be kind but sometimes she can yell like a roaring ocean.

Ki-O-Rahi

 Yesterday on Thursday we played ki-O-Rahi after morning Tea. It was our class vs another year 7 and 8 class. It was blue vs red and we were blue and the other class was red. When we went to Ki-O-Rahi on the field the tutor told us we had to have 4 boys and 4 girls on the field. The captain for our team picked taniwha. Our job was to hit the target to get points and to get the ball from the red team. 4 Rounds later I was protecting the target so the other team didn't hit it.
