Maths assessment

Today in Maths we had to make a video about what we were doing in maths and solving a maths question, we had to say these words, Hello, My name is Carra and I am going to talk about what I have been learning in Maths. This term, we have been learning how to add fractions. Learning this skill will help us to understand the text.

Today, I am going to show you a problem and discuss the strategies and steps I used to solve it. Let’s get started. and we had to also make a video too.

Here is my video about Maths: Here

Critically Analysing Images

Critically Analysing Images

WALT: Critically Analyze Images.

Today in class today Miss Aireen gave us some questions and three images, we had to write about it and also we are going to critically think about it the answers that we are going to write. The image that I picked contains a boy that is jumped from one figure to another. And here are my questions too. 

I also answered these question personally because I felt like I wanted to as well, and I also liked this image too.

Here is a link to the bigger version of the picture

Who took the photo? I think the person who took the photo was a someone who was exploring the country.

How is the subject represented in the photo? A boy who looks like he is having a lot of fun and playing with joy.

What kinds of messages are being conveyed? A boy who is playing, What it looks like in there country, and what they do in there country.

How do different parts of the image contribute to these messages? The materials that the boy is jumping on is like a Playground for the boy and background represents what they live in and the way that they live.

What if the photo was taken from a different angle or cropped differently? If you cropped out the background and it only had the boy you could add a playground and it could look like a boy playing on the playground, because he looks so happy.

Who might the intended audience be? The intended audience would be the boy playing in his country. And also having a lot of fun as well, but also boy might not be having fun too.

How might different groups of people respond to the image? They might say something different to us but also they might say the same thing as us as well, so I think that it would be the same thing too.

Astria Countdown to impact

Astria Countdown to Impact

WALT: Find and investigate about the texts that we have to find in the Game. 

Today in our class we had to play a Game called Astria Countdown to impact. We had to try and make a plan to stop a Asteroid from hitting the planet Astria. to find out and investigate the texts, so we had to find 6 texts and then when we have found those 6 texts there is 3 rooms so you had to find two texts in each room. 

Once we were finished finding the texts a lady sent us to a council room and we had to chose to between the Solar Sail, Nuclear bomb and the Connective impact. I chose Solar Sail because it wouldn't kill people, the reason why I didn't choose Nuclear bomb is because I knew that it would blow up the whole of space.

And the other reason why I didn't use the Connective Impact is because it could kill people but not as much people that have died in the Nuclear Bomb. I really liked this game because it was interesting to play but the thing that I didn't like about the game was there was too much reading to do and it was annoying to do.

Athletics Reflection

Athletics Reflection

WALT: Write a reflection about what we did!

On Friday 16th of November the whole school had Athletics day on the TPS field, I really enjoyed Athletics because I am a sporty person that likes to do Athletics. We did Standing Jump, Long Jump, Shot put, and Discus, I really liked Discus because it was easy for me to do and I through the Discus far. 

The first sprint race that we did was the 400 meter race, and that was for the year's 5 to 8. I came 4th on my first race but on my second race I came third because I stepped into A hole, also I came second in Relays. What I found challenging was the sprint races because my legs kept hurting and I could barely walk after my races. I would like to work on my running skills by warming up before I run.

In our team houses our teacher would put points on our hands and that would represent the tokens that we got were because of the values that we showed at the Athletics day, After the races a there was free Ice blocks and sausage sizzles. While everyone was running people in the houses were cheering on for them.

 The purpose of the Athletics day was so we can race and so when we win we can go into inter-schools and represent our school.BENGHAZI the house team that I am in won for this years Athletics and also last year we won as well. Also we won for the Chants too because we did the most new chants out of all the team houses.

"ON YOUR MARK GET SET GO"

Maths Session

Maths Session

WALT:Add and subtract decimals

Today in Maths we were learning how to add and subtract decimals by working on our tasks. We were adding decimals and I felt that it was fun and exciting to do and also I found it easy to do the questions because I practised a lot and I helped some of my friends as well, also my friends helped me too do my questions.

I felt that I needed to focus because sometimes I would forget that I'm doing maths and I would start to talk to my friends so that is why I feel like I need to focus on my work.

I really enjoyed doing Maths in my class and I would really like it if we got to do things like this for every maths session.

Thank You for reading about my blog and feel free to comment.

Weekly Quiz

Weekly Quiz

WALT: Use our prior knowledge 
Today in the kia manawanui syndicate class we did a weekly quiz, our quiz was 15 questions and 5 visual questions so altogether it was 20 questions. I got 11 right altogether but if I knew all the questions and answers then I would write it up but no. I felt like I didn't to watch the news and I needed to research more too. And I definitely would watch new more too.

And I feel like I'm going to do better next time if I watch the new and research more too as well. And make sure to keep up on the NZ hub.

Nature Watcher

Nature Watcher

WALT:Dibate your ideas about thoughts whether you disagree or agree with statements

Today in my class we had to disagree or agree on a statement that we got and it was about pest and should keep them and respect them.

Here is my statement about Pests:

Dear Nature Watcher.

I strongly disagree with your statement,  I don't know why we should have more respect for pests because the pests in our Country are killing our natives animals and we are losing our natives. Also because of the pests that are living in our Country they spread diseases and it would also kill our Native plants and Trees that are native to our Country. I will not respect these pests that are coming to our Country and killing that Plants and Trees that are Native to our Country and our Natural Habitat, because we would not have any Trees and plant also we wouldn't have our Native animals in our Country.

So that is why I strongly disagree that we shouldn't have pests in our Country because of our Natural Habitat.

Manaiakalani Film Festival

Manaiakalani Film Festival

WALA: The cluster schools videos and what they have been learning about in the classes!

Today was the day that the schools in the manaiakalani Film Festival went to the movies and watched video that other schools made.

I really liked the videos that the School cluster made but the schools that I mostly liked was my School and Pt England's because there videos were very interesting and funny. especially I liked there maker-space class because there video was so funny. Here is a link to the website and it is called the recycle-monster's gonna get you.

And If you would like to explore the manaiakalani website here is a link. When we were watching the videos on it was really dark in the cinemas and I couldn't see anything except for the big screen in front of me.

I am really excited for next year's manaiakalani film festival because this one was really funny and I enjoyed too. But the only thing that annoyed me was the traffic on the way to the cinemas and back and also when we couldn't find our buses because there were too many school at the manaiakalani film festival.

I also went onto the manaiakalani site and I've been writing some comments about the videos that they made our cluster schools.

(Here is my comment for the cluter schools)
