Business and Enterprise

For business and enterprise my team did some painted rocks. My team members where Taylor, Jackson and me. Together we made around 60 - 70 rocks and had maybe 15 or 16 rocks left over.

It was very fun making the rocks, we had different designs and ideas for our rocks, we had Christmas ones, monsters, frogs, rainbows and anything in between. Along with that we had a normal just plain blue rock, we sold that for $1... BUSINESS!

We did our rocks at home because our paint at home is... Better... than the ones at school. Me and Taylor both did our rocks with help from our mum's.

It was a little challenging to think of new ideas for our rocks that wouldn't be too hard to do. Just so we can get as many rocks do as possible. 

Talking about the market day, I think it went well. But that's just me, I'm not sure how my other teammates felt about the thing... Like I said before, we sold a lot. Not sure how much money we made though...

A highlight for me was probably getting to walk around and look at all the different shops. And also spend all my money...

Antarctica

 Welcome and thank you for stopping by! If you didn't know, this week I'm learning about Antarctica. I think Antarctica is a really cool place. Something I found was that some people think that Arctic and  Antarctica are the same, but they are polar opposites... Please laugh that was a joke 🥲 

Here we had to make a table of unfamiliar words we didn't really know the meaning of. Then after getting all 10 words we were unfamiliar with we had to find the definition of those words.

With some of my classmates we made a Jamboard, we had to add 2 - 3 different key things we found out about the Arctic ( I'm the top blue ones - the biggest 3 blue one )

If you are unable to read the notes, here are what they say.

1. Winter temperatures plummet to about -100 degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctica.

2. Antarctica is the highest continent on earth.

3. The Dry Valleys in Antarctica are the driest places on earth.

Thank you for reading about Antarctica with me, don't get sick and stay safe!

Kiwis in space

 Kiwis in space

Hello and welcome to my blog! I hope you have had a lovely day and I'm happy you are reading my blog. This week, my group and I have been learning about kiwis in space. I've found this very interesting.

Here is my key vocabulary from the thing we have read. 

With my key vocabulary I made a word cloud. I even made the words look like a rocket.

The last thing we had to do was a screencastify about three new things that I learnt.

Thank you for taking your time to read and listen to my blog! Please, if you saw any mistakes or anything you think I should add/change please let me know in the comments.

Did you know New Zealand launched satellites before listening to my screencastify?

The Ballantynes Fire

 Welcome to by blog! This week we have been learning about the Ballantynes fire. I found it really interesting and I hope you like it just as much as me!

Predictions

What do I think I already now about this disaster?

I know that this is a fire that happened on Nov 18th 1974.

What do I think I will learn about this disaster?

• What caused the fire?
• Did anyone die in the fire?
• What happened to the shop?
• How long did it take to put out?
• How expensive was the damage?

Read and Research

1.  People were served by waitresses in aprons and caps, expensive clothes were sold and ladies wore hat and gloves. It was a designer store.
2.  Christchurch
3.  November 18th, 1947 
4.  They had no smoke alarms or evacuations plans. People though it was just a small cellar fire so didn't tell the people upstairs.
5. 41 worker died in the fire. Two people from veranda and were unconscious but recovered.
6. No smoking, they now have smoke alarms, have an evacuation plan, DON'T WALK PAST A FIRE AND DO NOTHING! 

Video 1 - This video is restricted 

Notes - My messy notes :c

The fire was the most deadly

41 people went missing

All of the deaths were from worker

Near by shops were cracked by the heat

It took around 4 hours to stop the fire

They used 36 hoses to put out the fire.

Video 2 - This video is restricted  ( We didn't watch much )

Trapped people were waving to people down below

they had 25 mins before the first flame were seen 

This video wasn't that helpful

It was very long

Sometimes, the video was hard to hear

I does have some information but it's not really what we want.

Side Note - 25 MINUTES to get people out of the building because of the fire, and they didn't >:C

Thank you for reading. Have an amazing day, bye!

SOWN

 Snow

I love snow, when I was younger, I saw a LOT of snow. I would be so much fun if we had a lot of snow again. 

It was cold, and I was 3 or so, my mum and dad took me out to the park near mine. I was in a jacket, had mittens on and a woolly hat. I can't remember how the snow felt but, now that it has snowed a bit today, I can remember the feeling. It's light, very cold - my hands were frozen with snow, and weirdly crunchy and wet. 

Snow is created when tiny ice crystals stick tougher, they get heavy and fall to the ground. The more ice crystal that stick tougher the bigger the snow gets.

 The Olympic sport

Hello and welcome back to my blog! This week for hurumanu 1 I have been learning about Olympic rowing.

Here is my work I have done this term!

Here are some things about rowing and new Zealand!

If I were to make a new Olympic sport, I would make a wacky weird sport So I stole the idea of laser tag and...improved it....

I feel like this is a weird version of pro tag. If you don't know what pro tag is, look it up, you won't regret the time you've wasted. Or you will. 

Anyways, thank you for taking you time to read my blog! Please, if you saw any mistakes in my blog, tell me in the comments. Have a good rest of the day, or night.

 The Napier Earthquake

Predictions

Sadly, I have never really heard about the Napier Earthquake. All I could think the Napier earthquake was about is... Well, an earthquake causing a lot of damage or something like that.

Although I do think that I'll enjoy learning about this. I think I might find out how much damage it cause, what the aftermath was, and if there is anything special about it. 

Hopefully I can even learn when it happened! Oh wait, it happened on the 3 of February in 1931... 

Now, after reading about the Napier Earthquake

1. At 10.47 on Feb 3rd, 1931

2. The official death toll was 256.161 in Napier, 93 in Hastings and 2 in Wairoa

3. In the botanical gardens and the racecourse in Napier

4. They were able to rebuild the houses in an art Deco style, making it a tourist  attraction.

5. 2 and a half minutes... WOW THAT'S LONG

6. Children were sent around NZ because there were no school for them to go to and no houses for them to live. Also to keep children safe from aftershocks.

Notes from THIS VIDEO

There was a 90th anniversary for the Napier earthquake.

Nola was 9 when the earthquake hit and in the video she it just 1 year away from 100!

Eric Baggit was 2 when the earthquake hit, he didn't remember anything be seen the ciry rebuilt.

There were cracks in the road caused by the earthquake

The Vernoica bell rang for 2 and a half mintues.

Note from THIS VIDEO ( We only watched up to 10 minutes )

The first earthquake with high magnitude

Cruisers from Auckland had doctors on board to help

most of the damage was done by fire

A temporary hostility was made

6% of the population were taken out of the city

People had to live in tents

The water supply was damaged

The navy helped to clean up the damaged builds

In a school, boys were thrown out the building when the earthquake hit

The Nurse home collapsed and nurses were killed in their sleep

Sir Edmund Hillary

Sir Edmund Hillary

For hurumanu 1 this week my group have been learning about Edmund Hillary. For the people who don't know much about him, is was born in New Zealand and was one of the first two to get the to top of Mount Everest. He climbed with Tenzing Norgay who was born in Khumbu. Edmund Hillary has his face on the 5 dollar bill in New Zealand.

Holes - Book Review

Last term we had been reading a class novel, the book we read was called holes. The book was written by Louis Sachar back in 1998.

The book was about a boy called Stanley, after he was taken to court he went to camp green lake. After meeting the other boys they got to work digging holes. After his friend ran away Stanley went after him.

In the book, my favorite character is Hector, also called Zero by the other boys. I don’t really know why, he just is.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fun to read with the class and I think it does a good job to keep the book interesting. 

After reading the book, we got to watch the movie made after the book. Although not everything was the same from the book and movie. For one, in the book, Stanley was fat but lost a lot of weight in camp green lake. But it doesn't mean that in some parts the movie was just like the book. It was very similar when someone got Mr Sir’s bag of sunflower seeds, and when they passed it to Stanley the bag slipped and sunflower seeds went all over the place. Not too long after, Mr Sir got slapped with the Warden's rattlesnake nail polish. Both were the same in the movie and book.

The movie was very fun because I gotta sit back and watch the movie without having to read. 

After all, I think the book was very fun and interesting, my teacher also asked ‘would you recommend the book’ but I don’t recommend most books I’ve read so I don't know...

Term 2 Relection

 Term 2 Reflection

One of my highlights for the second term was art, it was one of my favourite subjects because I like to do art out of school time. Also because I won the art competitions my teacher had.

I did find a lot of things challenging for me, such as the kete we had, I couldn’t think of ideas and after that, making the house for the kete was hard, things kept falling apart. But I still managed to complete it.

Another challenging thing is that I didn’t finish some of my work because I would keep saying I’ll do it tomorrow, yea I’m a procrastinator, I’m lazy. But this term I really want to do my best to complete ALL of my work.

Some of my subjects last term were Art, P.E, Drama and coding. I didn’t learn much in art because I already knew about the stuff she was teaching, P.E was hard because I’m a lazy person but it was still fun. Drama is something I really enjoyed and learnt tips on acting, but I didn’t think I did much, I was too scared to perform in front of others. And last is coding, I learnt a ton on coding, how to use scratch and cospace. 

Shapes

 Shapes!

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I would like to share with you the work I have completed in my hurumanu called shaping up.First we learnt about vertices, faces and edges. We also learnt what rotation, reflection, translation and enlargement mean and how we can do them.

Say we are looking at a cube, The face of a shape is a flat surface on a shape. This cube has 6 faces. The edge of a shape is like a line where 2 faces come together. Vertices are where the edges connect.

Most recently we learnt about rotation, reflection, translation and enlargement. When a thing's direction is changed. Reflection is when the original shape looks like it’s gone through a mirror. Translation is when the shape has been moved, although the appearance doesn't change. Enlargement is an easy one, it’s when the shape has been largered. It just becomes bigger…

Thank you for reading, have you got any questions? Please go below and comment, also if you have seen any mistakes please let me know! 

Did you enjoy or learn anything new? 

Goodbye and thank you for your time!

Art

Art!

  Hello and welcome to my blog today! I'll be talking about all the things we have done during my term of art!

At the start of the term we were learning about stop motion. First stop motion we made in art was a flipbook. I can't remember what I did, and I don't have a video of it but I believe it was of a ball going up and down, up and down.

The next thing we did was messing around with clay, We got a hour to work on making a monster clay thing. Here's a photo of what I made. 

The next and LAST thing we did in art ( beside this blog ) was a stop motion out of clay. This part was the best! I made 3 stop motions... Maybe 2 out of 3 included clay deaths but that okay... Maybe... Hopefully that is OK. Anyways here they are.

Thank you for reading, and watching... hopefully. Have a good rest of your day. please, If you see something wrong with my blog like spelling comment down below I can try to fix it. Or not because I don't want to. Thank you for you time! :)

Hurumanu 1

 How To Be Normal

For Hurumanu 1 / Outstanders, we have been looking at our article for our level. I’m in group 3 the highest group working on an article called ‘How To Be Normal’ 

We had to answer questions, use sentences with words we were given, find adjectives from the article and do a quick true or false challenge. 

Did I understand?

1. Who did Charley bang into?  

Charley banged into Michaela's desk while walking to her desk.

2. 'Charley's at... More relaxed.' What is the main message/purpose of this paragraph? How does the author create this mood? What does it teach us about Charley?

This paragraph is teaching us about Charley and how she feels about herself. She’s feeling that she is weird and that she’s different from the other children.  

3. What impression does the author want to give of Charley? How do you know?

The author gave us the impression that Charley feels weird and wants us to feel sympathetic for her. 

Why is Charley angry with Amy? Do you think that she is right to be angry? Why/why not?

Charley is mad at Amy for standing up for her, and thinks she’s ruined her chance of having an in-joke with Michaela about bumping into her. I believe that Charley is wrong for being so mad at Amy all because she was trying to stand up for her.

4. Find a range of words and phrases to show how Charley is feeling throughout the story.

Insecure

Feeling like she's an outsider

Strange

Unconfident in herself/thoughts

Exploring language

What do these words mean? find a definition for each one and use it in a sentence.

1. Screeches

A screech is a loud piercing noise.

The owl outside my house screeches at night.

2. Apologise

To say sorry 

I wish the owl would apologise for keeping me up at night.

3. Intently 

Give a lot of attention to something.

I would look out my window and intently stare at the owl.

Write 3 sentences about the story using They're, there and their.

1. They’re

They’re making fun of Charley in the classroom.

2. There

Charley sat there and struggled to draw a line.

3. Their

By the time Charlie got to the classroom her classmates were sitting in their chairs.

All in order

Select at least 10 of your adjectives and put them in alphabetical order.

1. Careful ( Patience )

2. Chewed-up ( Paper )

3. Childish ( Way )

4. Crooked ( Line )

5. Extremely ( Short )

6. Final ( Chance )

7. Muffled ( Laugh )

8. New ( Girl )

9. Normal ( She is far from )

10. Straight  ( Line )

Why do you think we gave you this article to read as part of Outstanders hurmanu?

I believe we were given this to read to show that you should be happy being you and not trying to be someone you’re not, all to try to fit in.
