Kids In Space

 Yesterday afternoon the year 6,7 and 8 learnt about space, First we watched a couple of videos about how you move in space and how to go to the toilet and how you eat. Our second activity was to color in a spaceship and cut it out,we then stuck a rocket blowing thing to the back of our rockets and got a straw and blew it into the blowing thing so it would then blow up into the air.

After that we learnt a bit more about space and what Astronauts wear an why they were that certain color,for example white suits is that color because white is the color that reflects the most sunlight in space and protects them from cancer-causing solar radiation. The orange suit was chosen for safety as it is highly visible against any kind of landscape,especially the sea. People wearing blue suits are the captains of the spaceship and are responsible for keeping crew members safe 

I enjoyed learning about space and I had fun learning about the different planets.

Do you know anything about space?

Waka Hourua

 Waka Hourua

Today we worked in groups to learn about different waka, my group was Hirini, Harlem and Travis we had to learn about waka hourua. We all worked on a slide to learn about waka hourua we each had our own slide and on that slide was what the questions were and the answers.

Here is a link to the slide we made:

Click here.

After we completed the slides we showed our teacher and they said it was good to go, so then we got a long large brown piece of paper and a border to cut out. Next time we carry on with this work we will be gluing the border on and adding the waka.

I really enjoyed doing this activity and I think I worked well and got a lot more work done I think this was because I wasn't with my friends.

I hoped you enjoyed reading my blog,thanks for reading.

Have you ever heard of the waka, waka hourua?

Wiremu Tamihana

Wiremu Tamihana

Today In panuitia I learn't about Wiremu Tamihana. Wiremu Tamihana was born in 1804 at the Tamahere near Cambridge. The name that was given to him at birth was Tarapipipi Te Waharoa. His tribe was the Ngati Haua and his was his fathers. Te Waharoa had fought in many wars against other tribes. Tarapipipi fought with him in some of the battles. Then as a young man he became a christian and was given a new name, Wiremu Tamihana.

The kingmaker

In the 1850s Wiremu Tamihana and other people were convinced that the maori people needed to have a king. They needed someone to unite the many tribes, someone to protect the land and someone to give good rules to live by. Wiremu Tamihana and several others travelled the north island trying to find a suitable person. Their choice was the Waikato cheif, Te Wherowhero

Pangarau-Mult/Div

 Today in pangarau I learnt how to solve division problems using reversibility. Below is a picture of my work.

We also learn't

Histograms.

 Yesterday in math we learnt about the difference between bar graphs and histograms. Some of the differences are that a bar graph has a space between the bars and a histogram does not. We did a statistics activity first we had to do was to find out answers to 3 questions using the data on a histogram. Our next activity was to organise the data into a frequency table with class intervals 1.0- 2.0- 3.0- 4.0- 5.0- then we had to draw a histogram to display that information. This is a picture of what I did:

 have you ever done work around histograms?

I know that I learnt a graph needs 

How much blog post I do each.

 How much blog post I do each.

In pangarau we are learning how to pose a statistical investigation. We then use that and posed a statistcal investigation our question was how many blog post do I do a year? We put together a graph so we could tell how many blog posts did each year.

Here is my graph:

The highest blog posts I did per year was in 2020 I did 19 I think this is because I was more experienced in blog posting than other years.

The lowest blog posts I done was in 2018 I did 2 and I think this was because I was new to blogging and I had no experience.

My goal for the future is to do 1 blog post a day or even after every session at school.

How many blog posts per year have you done?

    

 Today as ropu we researched mother's day quotes we could use in te reo Maori I used this quote: ko te whaea te takere o te waka. Mothers are like the hull of a canoe. They are the heart of the family.

Then we followed instructions to make an origami flower to attach to our cards. This activity was challenging because all of the folds had to be perfect.

In year groups we made a sugar scrub and added scent and food coloring my group choose the scent pepermint. here is a picture of my mothers day card and the scrub:

My favourite part was when we were making the scrub as a group. have you ever made 

sugar scrub before?
