Market Day Evaluation

Last week on Friday it was marketing day each class form the school made a variety of items, our class made rainbow crayon. It was good idea because people was buying it and it was on a low price. Also it was easy to make because we don't need to buy any crayon but instead our class went to each other room and ask them for their broken crayons. I would like to change the stand so that it could be on the court so that we don't need to run around to places. We got a gross profit of $96.00 dollar but it cost us $8.00 dollar and our net profit is $88.00 dollar.

Writing Personification

As my tired, soggy and worn out body slowly scrapes across the muddy concrete floor, I think back to what happened this morning. 

Just as I was about to fall asleep, these 5 wrinkly, cheese smelling things are shoved inside me. Their sharp tips scratch my innards and get caught in my fabric. I angrily chafe this intruder, and it responds by smacking me against a wall. As I’m unwilling to be torn on any sharp objects, I relent and let the smelly thing be. After an hour or so of running, my friend and I are forced to watch as the giant goes straight through a puddle of mud- with us still attached! It only groaned as a huge amount of water started flooding through my skin. 

Boy do I hate being a shoe.

Today for writing Alex and I needed to write a story from a shoes' perspective, the thing is, we couldn't talk. It got confusing at times because we both had ideas but they were nothing alike. We also needed to use the some of the senses to describe what was happening to the shoe. After that, we listened to the other group's stories and then we presented our own.

She talked to us about how waste was being a problem and how she stared to plan her own businesses. It took around 2 years of planning and now it been 6 months when it opened. She did this because so much food is being wasted. Like 20 million loaves of bread has been wasted in NZ a year and imagine how much money it will cost for the resources and transport.

Manaiakalani film festival 2019

Yesterday was the 12th manaiakalani film festival. On our way to the bus we partnered up with a little student from room 6 or 7. My partner was Khit he was in room 7, when we got to the cinema we dropped off our partner to their seat. After we dropped our partner off we went to the back seats to watch the movies.

Writing Explanation

Why would I be an asset to my new school?

When I go to my new school I am going to take everything that I learnt here and take it with me on my journey. For example I am going to take all the maths strategies that I learnt here with me so I use them when I am stuck on a hard question.

I would also take my sportsmanship and teamwork with me when I join a sport team in my new school. I will be a team player and cheer them on, even if I’m not on the field or court. I would also do my best, train hard, try not to let my team down. If we lose I won’t get angry but I will wish the other team good luck.

I would get involved with the learning and sharing ideas if I am in a group. I will listen to what people have to say about the work that we are doing, and if someone is not involved get them involved with the learning. I am also going to join in things that I don’t like and just deal with it.

I am also going to take my respect, kindness and empathy with me. That means I am going to be kind to other people, show respect by listening to the teacher and do as I am told. When someone is upset I will look after them and listen to what they have to say or what is happening.

When I start my next school I am going to wake up earlier everyday and look smart. I will continue to come to school on time and turn on my brain on so I get ready for school work. I am going to meet new friends and try not to be shy to say hello to people I don’t know. I will try my best and will work hard in all my subjects. I am really excited and can’t wait to start my new learning journey.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today for Writing I wrote a explanation about why would I be an asset to my new school. In my explanation it talked about what I am bring with me when I go to a new school. I talked about the strategies that I would use if a am stuck. I also talked about showing sportsmanship, teamwork, respect, kindness and empathy.       

Writing Explanation

Don’t Judge someone

Respect…. Kindness…. Empathy, they are the three most important values that you need to show. Don’t judge someone by it cover, it is because something bad might happen to them like losing their job. If you show the three words you could make their day. It is because they might need a friend to talk to and share their feelings.

Respect: you should always show respect when you see someone on the street instead of disrespect them like this for example ( look at you why do you need the money you problem going to buy some drugs but instead he probably need the money to buy food for his family). You should ask what's wrong first instead of disrespecting someone.

Kindness: some people don't show kindness it is because they judge people that are homeless to quickly. This is why they don’t give money to them. In a video that I watched was an experiment if people will give a rich guy money for baby food or the homeless guy to buy baby food for his baby. Most people give money to the rich guy it is because their are probably think that the poor guy is lying and don’t need the money.

Empathy: I should say that this word is the most important word, you know why let me tell you. Imagine you are on the street and I read you sign and I say it not true you are lying and I walk away (The sign was you ask for money). How would you feel if this happens to you. The right thing you need to do is ask what's wrong and also share each others feel about what happened to him in the past. You should also help him if he needs money and one important thing you should do, it is to make him have a happy day.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week for writing I were writing an explanation about using respect, kindness and empathy towards other people. In my explanation I talked about don't judge them if there are poor and also we should away talk to them how they feeling and share feeling.       

Water filters

This week we were making Water filters l was working with Avalon, Karlos and Joel. We made a DLO that explained about water filters and people who don´t get clean water. We were creating our Water filters to find out how to turn dirty water into clean water by using our own ideas and things to make one so we can find out how we can make dirty turn into clean water. We created our own plan that had some ideas of what we could do then we draw what we wanted it to look like. We cut a whole bottle into half then we added chuxs cloth at the cap part where the water was going to come out of to stop the dirty and sand.

Early Maori Enterprise

Early Maori Enterprise started with tribes trading items all over New Zealand. Trades included a variety of foods, baskets and jewellery. Later on British travellers came to New Zealand asking for food, and other items. This turned into trades where the Maori people sold their valuable land and foods for unfair returns. This resulted in the Maori people selling too much of their land and belongings, leaving them with little to nothing.

Maori enterprise started with trading. They traded items like food and clothing. Soon British travellers came wanting food. The British also wanted to buy land. Then Maori sold too much, they lost their land.

This week for inquiry we were learning about Maori enterprise. After we were done we wrote a 5 sentences about how Maori started enterprise. But then we changed our 5 sentences so that we only have 10 syllables in a sentences.         

Rugby Pitch Sizes Challenge

This week for maths another challenge was to answer questions on rugby pitch sizes. Some of the other questions were: What is the perimeter of a maximum size of rugby pitch? And, what is the area of a maximum size rugby pitch? After finishing all of the other questions, my group needed to create a DLO on how we found our answer.

Rugby Advertisement

This week for writing, we were making Advertisement for Rugby. We had 2 choices, to either make a video or make a poster. We first planned to make a video, but as time sped up we chose to make a poster. We also chose to use a Rugby Ball as our advertisement. We tried to use some qualities that advertisement had so that it is really relatable. 

Rugby World Cup

This week for maths our theme was rugby world cup. We had seven question to do, our first question was about what is the different in seating capacity between the largest and the smallest stadiums in Japan. After we were done doing the seven question we made a DLO about one of the question we did.       

Current Events

This week for reading Alex, Joseph, Jack, Julian and I worked together to fill out a google map with international events. We needed to search through different news websites to find stories that fit the current event criteria. Our story for oddity is twin pandas being born in Belgium and for impact, bush fires.

Pop-up globe

On Friday we were visited by the pop-up globe workers. They gave us information about William Shakespeare which was interesting. William Shakespeare would always try to make his sentence rhyme. The fourth wall is when the narrator includes the audience. One of Williams Shakespeare acts called Macbeth was extremely cursed. In William Shakespeare's tragedy acts, there is always a death.

Duffy Role Model Assembly

Today was Duffy role model assembly. We had a spacial guest that came to our school his name is Jamie Wall, he was the author who wrote bother In black. He came to talk us about how men in black book, about NZ rugby history inspired him to became a sports commentator. I hope he get a safe trip to the world cup in japan to report the rugby for Maori television.      

Supermarket stopped selling energy drinks to kid under 16

A provocation is an action or a speech that triggers strong feeling about a topic. Recently a major supermarket chain a announced it will no longer sell energy drinks to people under the age of 16. My opinion is recorded in my DLO that show both perspectives what is your opinion and why? 

Exploring our national current events

News editors make decisions everyday about which current events stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening in NZ,thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google maps.

Explanation: Should NZ ban plastic?

65,000 thousand plastic straws have been collected for over 10 years in New Zealand beaches. Did you also know that there about 437 million - 8.3 billion plastic straws in the Ocean. Hi my name is Aung Naing and I think that we should ban plastic straws. Plastic straws are a harm to sea creatures. Its unusual why people throw away plastic straws.

My reason for talking about this is because there are so many plastic straws that are made every day. I feel like we need to change our actions because there are a lot of plastic straws that have been thrown on the ground every single day. After you finish throwing your plastic straw on the ground it could go out to sea and letting the sea turtle eating it or getting it stuck up their nose.

We should remove plastic straws and add paper straws or use other material instead of plastic. It is because paper straw can dissolve but plastic straw are harder to dissolve or break down, it is because it takes 500 year to break down. There are different materials we can use like metal, you can carry it with you and you can keep reusing it, but plastic straws are not that useful, it is because it can bend easily.

Did you know that there are about 500 million plastic straws are used every single day. Wow! I think that there are a lot of plastic straws that are used every day. Well some shops are to be blamed, Mc Donald, Burger King and KFC sell free Plastic Straws.

This is why I would not suck, it is because it is harming the marine animals, out of curiosity, have you ever seen people taking a plastic straw out of a sea turtle nose before.

Tech

This week was our last session for robotics tech, we were finishing off our movies. Our teacher was Miss Munoz. She was awarding out prizes for the best movie, like gift cards chocolate and lollipop. The people in my group were Alex, Neveah and I. We came first place so we got to pick what we wanted. Our movie was about what we can do with the robots, for an example: they can dance. Thank you Miss Munoz for teaching us how to code with the Mblock. 

Point of View: Plastic Straw

This week for writing we were making a DLO about reason why we should ban plastic straws and why we should't ban plastic straws and also in the middle was our opinion. My partner I decided for our opinion we will talk about why we should ban plastic straws. It is because it is killing the sea animal.         

Persuasive speech

LI:To write a speech to persuades others to think the way you do.

children under the age of 15 shouldn’t be able to play video games that involve shooting

Hi my name is Aung Naing and I believe children under the age of 15 years old shouldn’t be able to play video games that involve shooting, not because kids shouldn’t play any video games, I just think that shooting games influence children to have the same actions as the video games.

My reason for talking about this is because shooting games give people a clear message that guns can lead to a bad problem. Playing shooting games like Fortnite, Call of Duty and other games is not a good idea for younger kids because they can learn bad words. 

Shooting Games like Fortnite can get kids addicted, which means they can lose focus with their learning while in school. They might be staying up late at night playing games to get better or to get a win, which will make them very tired. Another problem is that they are missing out on fresh air and exercise.

Kids can get more violent playing the game and won’t stop playing it is because these games are very addictive. If the game is taken off them they can retaliate violently towards their caregiver.

Playing violent games might be fun, but you never know what that fun could cause or teach you. Imagine waking up to a gun pointing at your head, it could be your brother or your sister because anyone can change with this sort of influence. 

A couple of weeks ago we were working on making our persuasive speech for the speech competition. My speech was about why children under the age of 15 years old shouldn’t be able to play video games that involve shooting. I wrote this because it is bad for younger kids to play, they can learn a lot of thing form older people. I did well saying my speech but I didn't do well to have the confidence to say it in a big group.

Steam - Catapult

This week for inquiry we were making a catapult out of newspaper, tape, rubber bands, blue tac, a small container, a piece of paper and a vivid to plan what catapults we are making. In our groups we got role my roles was to make cylinders out of newspaper. Our groups tried very hard to make this catapult. When we made the catapult we did a test run. Then we did a competition to see if who can hit the target. After that we change our catapult to see what wrong with it. In our groups was Matthew, karlos, Alex, Sela, Alice and I.         

DAWN RAIDS

Today were talking about the dawn raids and made a DLO about it. We made a DLO talking about the two perspective about the Government and Polynesian. We also made a summary about the story and made our own opinion. We made this DLO in groups, in my group it was Joseph, Julian and I.     

Swimming

This week on Thursday we went swimming. We learn how to float on a back and the front. The equipment that we use to float was a pool noodles, and kick broad. We also use a technique called streamline to swim. I found floating on my back without a kick broad hard.

Tech - Robotics

This week for tech we were planing our movies about a Mblock. We had options to choose from to make the movie. The options was Autonomous Vehicle (Avoid Obstacles & Follow a Path), Autonomous Forklift (Find & Move Objects and your own idea. 

Coding M block

Today was our last lesson for tech this week. Our last day for tech we were trying to make the m block to move in to a circle, a square and to stop on the x. We also tried to make it move if there an object in front of it and we also tried to make the M block to move on the black line. We added effects to the M block like light and music.   

HIIT

Today we did HIIT. We worked on building our strength and increasing our heart rate. The activity that we did was push up, pull up and mountain climbing. We worked collaboratively with a buddy so that we can encourage each other to work hard. I found pull up hard because it drain all you energy to push your self up. We also had a challenge to do and it was going down to do a squat if the song say bring sally down, the song that we use of the challenge is the son is bring sally up. Also I would like to say a big thank you to Mr Ogilve for doing the lesson with us. 

Multiplication Game

This week LS2 were making a maths game for our classmates to get better at there math knowledge. my maths game was all about multiplication, this was a fun task because when someone plays my game I feel good about it because it is showing my learning to the person who is playing the game, and for them to learn more about multiplication.

Rocket Experiment

We worked in a group of 4 to do this experiment. in our group we have different jobs to do the first jobs was the person who is blowing the plastic rocket, the second one is measuring the rocket, the third one is recording the measurement and the last one is cutting out the fin for the rocket.         

Rhythm Interative's visit to PBS

This week John from Rhythm Interactive came to our school and taught the whole school how to play a drum. The theme for today drumming was 'together we can make a change'. John said to us if you can say it, you can drum it. We had to listen carefully so we could follow a rhythm or copy what John saying, like the song he taught us. The drum that we used was called a djembe drum. A djembe drum is from Africa. The thing that I liked was learning how to play play on the djembe and learning the beat. The students from the seniors helped the juniors play their drums. Here is the link to the Rhythm Interactive website.            

Tech-Makeblock

This week for tech we were playing with a Make-block to try to make it scene where it goes like to turn if there a item in front and we also try to make the Make-block to move with out touching anything. It was hard because we need to get the coding so it will move right.
