Tessellation

This is a photo of my tessellation that I had made. Making my own tessellation was pretty hard and then it got much easier. In my class were learning about tessellation. Tessellation has to have a repetitive pattern. I think my teacher should do this kind of work in our class all the time because it is very fun.

Tarte Tatin Part Three

We put pastry on top of the caramelized apples and then we flipped it over. After that we cut it into quarters. The final part was to eat and enjoy.

Tarte Tatin Part Two

We put the apples into a small pan with 50g of butter. Next we had to wait until the sugar and butter formed into caramel.

Shapes Game

In this game you have to put the correct shape in where it is meant to go. In this game you would have to know all your shapes. This game is not hard because you just have to drag the correct shape in the right place. I think my teacher should give me more harder work.        

Tarte Tatin Part One

 First we peeled our apples. After peeling the apples we cut it up into quarters. Next we cut the core of the apple off. Then we put soft brown sugar on top of the apples.

My Career Idol

Music

WALT: write a narrative.

2 write in paragraphs.

One day Tom went to the shop and bought some cds. Tom loved listening to his music.

When Tom got home he started to listen to his cds. Tom blasted his music loud in his bedroom. Mum would always got annoyed when Tom played his music out loud. When mum tried talking to him,he couldn't  hear. This annoyed Mum even more.

Mum told Tom to turn his music down but Tom could not hear her. Mum tried knocking on Tom’s bedroom door but Tom could not hear mum knocking on the door. Mum was so exasperated that mum smashed through Tom’s bedroom door. Tom got a fright when mum smashed through his bedroom door.

Mum went to Tom’s stereo and turned the music down. Tom asked mum why did you turn my music down? Mum replied because it was too loud and I was getting annoyed with your very loud music. Tom said  sorry for the very loud and agreed not do that ever again.

Dont play your music too loud.This upsets your mum and she will turn it down.

The Beach

One warm morning my family and I went to the beach. When we all got up we packed our swimming togs and packed up the car. On the way to the beach we could see the horizon.

When we went to the beach it was high tide. I was so happy that it was high because I don't like low tide. When we were all dressed in our togs we all raced into the water. The water was so calm and nice and warm. I started to swim out my mum told me not to go far. So I swam towards my mum doing some freestyle. My family and I were having swimming races and I kept  losing.

I was watching this man stuffing on his board and then I saw him fall of his board. I tried to swim all the way to him but I could not see him. While I was trying to swim to the man salt walter went into my mouth. I so tired so I laid on my back. Five minutes later I was trying to scream to my mum “HELP” but she could not hear me. I put my hand up and I saw lifeguards coming toward me. The lifeguards took me back to my family.

I told the lifeguards about the man who fell off the surfing board. They went rushing out back into the water. In my head I think he is calling for some help. I said” to myself I hope he is alright’’. When the lifeguards came back on the boat they saw teeth marks of a shark. The  lifeguard said to me he has being eaten by sharks because when they got there the shark went away. I was sad when I heard that he got eaten by shark. So that was his last day of his life.

The theme of this story is to be careful at a beach when you are surfing.

Reflection rotation and translation

In this game you have to know what is reflection rotation and translation. This game was challenging for me. The hard part in this game was to see if it was rotated. The easy part was that I knew when it was translated. I think our teacher should give us more games like this.

Kaho Acting.

Kaho was getting picked on and the big man wanted Kaho's lunch. Kaho played the role very well and Kaho was funny.    

Last Day Of Sports Camp

WALT: write a narrative sports camp.

Ohh

the day we had to go back home. Some people were not happy on leaving sports camp.

Mr Hendricks barked out the instructions to clean up our dorms and pack our bags up. When the children  finished  packing their bags they had to put it in the center where everyone was sitting. Some children were lagging off the cleaning duties. When the children finished cleaning up they all had to meet in the same spot where the teachers and children put their bags. After that they picked up their own bags and carried it to where the bus would meet them.

Teachers and children were getting bored waiting for the bus to come. Andrew saw us still waiting for the bus to come so he gave the children a few balls to play with. Teachers and  a few children were playing a little game of football while other children were playing on the park. One hour latter of still waiting for the bus Andrew said “That the children could go on the water slide for only half hour. All the children was well over the moon when they got told that they could go on the water slide.

Half hour after having so much fun on the slide finally the bus turned up. When the teachers loaded the bags into the back of the bus. After that children found them a seat on the bus and sat down. Off went the bus leaving the camp grounds. Going  back to Glen Innes School in Auckland. On the way to School the tyres whirr and then one of them popped. The bus driver pulled over and check the tyres. The bus driver changed the popped tyre. It took the bus driver about 20 minutes. After that we were back on the road and off to school. We had a very awesome trip on the bus back to school.

Theme: There are always  positive solutions to problems.

Vision Of My Future

A Photo With Gensise

Everyone was taking a photo. Gensise  wanted a photo to show that they came to our school and were  not at the beach playing.  

Travel Wise

These are two graphs that show how many  good drivers and bad drivers there are. Some children went out with the Auckland transport people and the police to tell people to slow down around schools. There were more good drivers than bad drivers and that is very good. The speed limits around schools is forty and the good drivers that we pulled over gets a goodie bag and the bad drivers get a card which tells them to slow down around schools. It was very fun going out on the road with the Auckland transport people and the police.

Spin the paper clip

In this game we had to take turns by spinning the paper clip with the pencil in the middle. This game is fair because it was a 50 50 chances. When the game is not fair is when there is more red than green.I think everyone could get an equal chance of winning.

Kelvin was the lucky one because he chose 7 red and 13 green. When Kelvin and his partner Langa spined the paper clip they got 7 red and 13 green and that was the total at the end of the game. The fraction of red was three quarters and the fraction of green was only one quarter. We can write one half in a decimal  like this 0.50 and in a fraction  100/50 and 50 %.

Basketball Rules

When you are a reff you have to be confident blow the whistle loudly, speak clearly and don’t let anyone push you around.

Know the rules and  how to tell a player they have broken a rule.

Always communicate with the other referee supporting his or her decision.

Be pleasant but firm with the players.

Always have a good position on the court and be totally involved in the game.       

Bright Balloon's

In this game you had to look away and click which one would you choose out of red or blue balloon. This game was easy because all I had to do was look away and click on one of the balloon. At the end of this game you get to colour in the bear and the balloons. I think our teacher should gives us some more challenging game than this one.

The Vile Vendor

In this game you had to fill in the vendor machine with the cans. I had to make the cans an equal chance of getting a rusty nail drink. I had to play this game for two day until I knew how to play the game properly. When I got to understand  the game it just got easier and easier. I like it when our teacher gives us more challenging maths games.

Healthy Choices

A Miserable Day

WALT: write a well sequenced story set in Ancient Egypt.

One morning Dom and Daniel was trying to build a boat made out of woon. Dom and Daniel went out to go and find some wood.

When Dom and Daniel found some wood they started to build the boat. Dom and Daniel knew that they had something missing. They were missing some rope so they could tie the wood up to form a boat. When Dom and Daniel found some rope near the River Nile they went back to where they were building their boat. When they had completed their little boat they went out and got some more wood so they could make so paddles.

When Dom and Daniel finish completing their boat and their paddles they took it to the River Nile and see if it would work. The boat worked on the water so Dom and Daniel started to paddle. When Dom and Daniel got use to the boat they turned into a big massif rock. When they hit the massif rock the front of the boat CRACKED and water started to rush  into the boat.

Dom and Daniel decided to leap out of their boat into the River Nile and started to swim. Dom and Daniel were freaking out because they had never swam in the River Nile. Dom and Daniel was trying to swim but the current was to strong for them. Dom managed to get hold of a rock but daniel could not. Daniel was freaking out because Daniel could not swim.

So Dom saw one of their paddles they had made and Dom told Daniel try and grab this paddle but Daniel could not reach. So Dom went into the water and saw with the paddle with him so Daniel could reach. When Daniel grabbed the paddle Dom started to swim back to land. Dom managed to swam back to land with Daniel holding on tight of the paddle. When Dom and Daniel court their breath Daniel thanked Dom for saving him. After that they went back home and got warm and had some lunch after that.

If you don't know how to swim try and learn yourself.        

Tom Crashed

One day Tom  went outside and played on his skateboard. Tom s mum told Tom  to be careful on his skateboard.

Tom raced out of the house and Tom did not hear his mum so Tom  decided to go to Jack’s house. Jack did not know that Tom was going to come over to his house. Tom asked Jack if he wanted to come from a skate to the park and Jack said”sure I would come for a skate with you’’. Jack went and told his mum that he was going for a skate with Tom and Jack’s mum said “yes that he could go.’’ Off went Tom and Jack going for a skate to the park.

Tom was racing down a very steep hill and Tom got so scared he did not know what to do. Tom jumped off his skateboard. When Jack saw Tom on the ground Jack spirited down the hill to see if Tom was alright. Tom had a lot of scratches and blood was squirting out of his skin. Jack and Tom had no water to clean Tom’s scratches  and a lot of germs was getting into Tom’s skin.

Jack carried Tom back to his house to wash up his scratches. When Tom’s mum saw Tom injured she quickly got a wet cloth and started to clean up Tom’s scratches. After a while the blood stopped and then Tom’s mum covered it with some plasters. Tom’s mum said to Tom see I told you to be careful but you did not listen to me Tom started to laugh and Tom said to his mum “ok mum I will listen to you.”

The next day mum took Tom to the doctor and the doctor told Tom’s mum that he has a skin infection. The doctor told Tom to always clean your skin and take care of it. After that the doctor gave Tom’s mum a special cream so your skin can heal back up and be good as new. The doctor told Tom when you fall over always clean your skin so no germs can get into your skin.  

If you have any sores always keep it clean.

Put Down

WALT: write a report/narrative.

On the twenty eighth August a twenty one year old sumatran tiger, Cantik had died at Wellington Zoo.

The tiger’s name was Cantik which means beautiful in Indonesia. Cantik came from Burger's zoo in the Netherlands in 1994. Cantik was loved at Wellington Zoo and she had twenty cubs.  There are only about three hundred to four hundred Sumatran tigers in the wild. Tigers in the wild only live for about ten to fifteen years and in the zoo they live to about sixteen to twenty years but Cantik lived over twenty years. Cantik died from  malignant adrenal tumors and severe arthritis.

I think animals should get receive euthanasia. If an animal is very ill they could just put them down and die in peace. I think Wellington zoo now should  get some more Sumatran tigers and make them popular. I did not know the tiger so I would not miss the tiger.           

   

Inspirational Person

My inspirational  person  is James Rolleston. He lives in Waihau Bay, in  Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. He is a actor. He was the lead actor in the movie,  “Boy.” He is also the poster boy in the  Vodafone advertisement.

James Rolleston lived on a small farm with his grandmother his brother Rocky and some of his cousins. James Rolleston always dreamed about Michael Jackson. James Rolleston acted fantastically in Boy.  Therefore, the movie made the most amount of money of any New Zealand films. Although James Rolleston has much money  he is not a show off. James Rolleston would rather watch war movies like  Black Hawk Dawn and Saving Private Ryan and he would like to act in one of those movies.

James Rolleston does not understand all the fuss that is made about him. James Rolleston was just a school kid. A lot of people stop and ask James Rolleston if they could have a photo. All James Rolleston friends treat him normal. When he goes to the city James Rolleston tries not to look good because some people ask him if he is the boy. When people ask if he is boy James Rolleston gets pretty shy.

James Rolleston has inspired me by been a funny and young  actor in the movie called Boy.     

Prevention is better than Cure

WALT: respond to the presentation given by the Public Health Dept.

This morning Glen Innes School had to meet in the hall for a special assembly. Most students were excited to see the the Vodafone Warriors.

Dr Alison was talking about how to take care of a sore throat. She did a demo with the puppet Freddy the Frog on how to swab your sore throat. Nurse Kirsty also did a demo on one of the Vodafone Warriors player. Sione a Warrior player, was too shy to get his throat  checked so Ben Henry and Sam Rapira told the Glen Innes children to say” ah” on the count of three.

When Dr Alison finished she told the ex Warrior Awen Guttenbeil to come up and tell his experiences with rheumatic fever.When he was little Awen Guttenbeil did not tell anyone that he had a sore throat, not even his parents. He told the Glen Innes children how he was trying to be the tough guy and not tell anybody that he had a sore throat. Awen told us children how his joints were sore and that he could not walk. Eventually he was diagnosed with rheumatic fever.

The message is that if you have a sore throat tell your parents or caregivers.      

Fraction Game

In this game you had to count how many square cookies there are and write that as a fraction of the total number of cookies. Sometimes you could get an equivalent fraction answer like two quarters is equally to one half. This game was a bit easy because most questions were easy and somewhere a bit tricky. I only got three questions wrong out of sixty five questions. I think our teacher should give us some more games like this.     

Mum stepped.....

Mum stepped.....

WALT: use better words.

Mum stepped out of the limo and walked onto the bright red carpet. Mum was so famous that the paparazzi were taking photos of her.

When mum was walking along the red carpet her high heel shoe broke. Mum ran back into the limo and  speeded back home to get  a new pair of high heels.  Fortunately, Mum had many pairs of shoes. Mum felt very embarrassed when her high heels broke. She raced inside when she got home. When mum got inside the children were at  the table drawing and dad was watching a game of rugby on TV. Then  she was hunting for some of her high heels in her closet. Finally, she found a  pair to match her outfit.  Back she leaped into the limo.

The driver whizzed  mum  back to the red carpet. The new high heels were perfect for a walk down the red carpet. While  she was walking down the red carpet she wore a brilliant smile and looked elegant in her outfit.  When mum was at the end of the red carpet she was interviewed by Three news. Mum was on tv and luckily her high heels did not break on her this time. All the time the cameras flashed.  After that mum went back in the limo and went back home.When mum got home her children said, “Mum, we recognized you on tv and saw you getting interviewed by three news.”

Mum flashed her tv smile and headed straight to dad. She showed Dad the award she received for being an inspirational mum.

Calculate The Area Of The Rectangle

This game is all about perimeter and area.In this game you had to calculate the area of this rectangle. The right answer is twenty. This game was easy because I could calculate the sum mentally. There was no challenge in this game because you have multiply 5 by 4. I think our teacher should give us games like this one but more challenging.   

Area

WALT: use tiles to cover the lounge floor.

In our maths group we were learning about area.We had to get into pairs. We had to tile the lounge floor. The board represented the lounge floor.  Our tiles were little coloured blocks. We got a board and we had to cover the board with little blocks. It took one hundred and twenty blocks to cover the board. Other children had rectangular blocks and  covered their board much faster. But our little blocks took much longer than the other children.                                           

Add Decimals

In this game you had to add decimals. The answer in this game is A 6.2.  When you get your answer correct you get to try and kick the ball in the goal. This game was a little bit challenging for me because I had to add the decimals mentally.This game is very good for me because I had to work fast to get a better score than my group members. I think our teacher should give our maths group more maths games like this.

Ancient Egypt

Pyramids

The Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids for the Pharaohs. It was believed that it took twenty to thirty years to build the Great Pyramid Of Giza. The Ancient Egyptians built the  Great Pyramid Of Giza on the west of the bank of the River Nile.  Inside the pyramids there are tombs for the Pharaoh. The  Great Pyramid Of Giza is about 4500 years old and it still stands today.  The Great Pyramid Of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the worlds.

The Ancient Egyptian mummified the dead. The  Ancient Egyptians removed everything except the heart. When the  Ancient Egyptians finish doing that the  Ancient Egyptians would salt the whole body and then dry it. After that the  Ancient Egyptians would stuff some cloth into the dead body. After stuffing cloth inside the body the  Ancient Egyptians would put oil on the whole body. When they finish oiling the body the  Ancient Egyptians would put lots of bangeseds and make it tight so that the body don't rot away.

Nile River

The Nile River runs through the whole of Africa. The Nile River is 6,650 km long. When the Nile River floods that is good for the  Ancient Egyptians because thats when the soil comes on land. When the soil is on land the  Ancient Egyptians would plant their crops.  

Solving Problems

This game was only a little bit difficult. This game was testing us on our percentage.  You had to choose which is the correct answer. If you get the answer wrong they would give you an example so you can get the next answer correct. The correct answers in this game in $20 off any purchase.

Jump Rope

WALT: write a report

On Friday the 7th of June Glen Innes School did a Jump Rope show in their school hall for the parents.

When the little children were skipping they all had a lot of energy. With the older children their routines  got better and better. All the children had enthusiasm, energy and if they made a mistake they  just persevered. All the children were enjoying themselves and having a lot of fun when they were skipping.

Some music was popular and some was not popular. Some songs were three minutes others were   four to five minutes. When the songs was popular all the children would sing along. Room twelve had all the popular songs because all the children were singing all the songs that they had played. The most popular song was Gentleman.

When all the class skipping items finished some children got up and went to get their  parents. The children and the parents  then skipped together.  All the children and their parents were having fun and were enjoying themselves.  Some parents could skip and some could not skip.

        

Being A Pharaoh For One Day

WALT: Write in paragraphs.

Today I am a pharaoh  for one day in Ancient Egypt. I am  rich and have everything. My job is  to watch over the law courts and  the chief of the temple. I will have to be responsible for ruling the country.

I would  wear my crown on my head, my collars that  are made out of gold, gems and jewellery. I wore a white cloth wrapped around my waist to make a short skirt and I am shirtless. I would put gold arm bands and bracelets around my arms and legs.   

Daily I go  to the temple to  pray to the Gods. After doing that I would hear news from my trusted vizer. After doing that I  check the building sites which were built by my  servants and officials. Finally my last duty would be like having a conversation with my wife or would be entertained by my servants.
