The hardest part for me was the addition and subtraction form one thousand.The easiest part addition from 20 and my favourite part was the times and the division because I do it in my home learning and it's fun.


My goal is to get better at addition and subtraction form one thousand.

Te Reo Maori week

 WALT: We are learning new words in Te Reo Maori.




The hardest thing about doing this was thinking about Maori words that I could use in my google slide and finding the images that I wanted. The easiest thing about doing this was writing the sentence in the speech bubble.

prototec maths

 WALT: We are learning to quickly calculate number problems.



My goal is to keep practising on subtracting from 1000.


I think the hardest part about doing this was doing the adding and subtracting from 1000. The easiest part was the divisions and multiplication because I practise them a lot at home.


What do you do on prototec?

 WALT we are learning to follow a recipe.

Equipment list:               

Gummy maker

Measuring cup

Measuring jug

Table spoon

Juicers x2

Knife

Spoon 


Ingredients:

Sugar

Gelatin

Oranges in bags x2

Lemonade bags x2

Bag of ice x1


Step 1. Get all your equipment out of the cupboard.

Step 2. Get all of the ingredients out of the cupboard.

Step 3. Put the juicers on the table.

Step 4. Cut the oranges in half.

Step 5. Put half of an orange in the juicer and squeeze or push.

Step 6. Then get your gummy maker and pore the juice into the little pot.

Step 7. Get your gelatin  and put 3 tbsp in the pot then stir.

Step 8. Get your sugar and put 1 tbsp in the pot then stir until thick.

Step 9. when done put the ice in the parts under the gummy mould's.

Step 10. pore the mixture into the gummy mould's.

The hardest thing about making these gummy's was poring the mixture into the bowl because it was hard to pore the mixture into the mould's and making sure that it doesn't overflow. The easiest thing about making the gummy was juicing the oranges.


Have you made healthy gummy's?

What do they taste like?

Why did I choose this design - pallet garden

 WALT: we are learning to follow the design process


Why did I choose this design


I think this design is good because it might challenge me when I build it. I also think the netting is good because it is hard for the birds to get into the garden. I made my garden this shape because it will be easy to put the netting on so my strawberries don’t get eaten by the birds. I also think this design is great because it is original and I don’t think that anyone has done this design before. 


Equipment list:

X2 pallet

x1 Hamer

X50 nails

X1 roll of netting

X20 strawberry seeds

X1 crow bar


Reflection


What did I find challenging?

The part that I found challenging was the research and trying to put it into my own design. I also think this was the most challenging part because it was hard to find the picture that I want to put into my design


What was my favourite part?

My favourite part was making the prototype because it was challenging for me. I Also think it was my favourite because it was hard to build with the popsicle sticks and one hot glue gun, and I like things that are challenging for me.


What could I have done better?

I think I could have improved on how big it would be because when I  put the netting on the top it was very hard to staple the net on the top. I think I could have improved on the prototype because I wanted the walls to be a little smaller so you can see the plants.


what does you pallet garden look like?

Kutai fritters flowchart

WALT: We are learning to order steps in the correct order



This is my first attempt at making a flowchart.


The hardest thing about  doing this flowchart was trying to find the right shapes that I wanted to make into the pictures for this flowchart. The easiest thing about this was writing the steps in a text box from the book kutai fritters.


What recipe do you use?

Prototec Maths

 WALT: we are learning to solve maths problems and set goals.












I think I need to improve on minus from a thousand and plusing to one thousand. My next goal is to learn how to plus to one thousand and minus by one thousand. I really liked all the multiples because they challenge my mind and sometimes trick me.


Do you do prototec? how hard are they?   


    

Project Energise ( PE ) with Morgana

 WALT: we are learning how to keep healthy and active.







My favourite part was doing the warm up. We had to get one cone and at least four people. Three people had to stand around the cone and the  author person had to say left, right, up, down. My least favourite part was doing the stretches after because I felt so!!!! Sore. I felt like laying there for the whole day.

Do you do PE? who's your project energiser? 

My Speech

 WALT: we are learning to write a persuasive speech.

Hello, Bonjour and Ni Hao  my name is Awhitia and this speech is about why books are better  than movies.


I  interviewed some people to see what their opinions were. More than half of the people said no they don’t read books. Less than half said they like to read books. Most of the people that I asked said they like books better than movies.


I think that books are better than movies because…..


They can help teach you with lots of things like spelling and how to sound out tricky and descriptive words. 

I  think movies are ok because they can have a moral to the story. 

Take the BFG for example, That movie teaches things like how to be respectful of other people's differences.


Did you now that Up to 200 books can be made from 4 trees

 The average cost of a paperback book is $18.99

A normal movie costs up to 18 million dollars and a long movie costs up to 45.5 million dollars.


Books let you imagine what  is happening in the story which is much better than watching the directors idea of the book.

Books can help you with lots of things like if you're studying for a test or you're doing research, you might need a book. 

If you had a film it wouldn’t really help you, would it?


Imagine, in 1452 all there was for entertainment were books the first ever books name was The Epic of Gilgamesh. Imagine reading that book and only a few others until 1816 when the first camera was invented.



Do you ever think a movie is too short or doesn't have much detail?

 Well that's why I  always like books, because they last longer.

I also think books are really good because they cannot be ruined by bad acting.


Books are good because they are portable. 

They don't have batteries and you don't have to worry about leaving your charger behind. 

Books are also great for learning because they extend your vocabulary.


Did you know, the fear of running out of something to read is called Abibliophobia.

The fear of movies is Cinemaphobia.


Books are also good because they let you read at your own pace, movies cannot do that.  

Books are more realistic and they are great for testing your knowledge.


So my study found more people watched movies than read books. 

My personal opinion is that books are more enjoyable than movies, Movies are great when your feel lazy, but in books, The story is for your own imagination.



The hardest thing about this speech was researching all the facts, put them into my own words and try to put them all into a speech. The easiest thing was my intro because all I had to do was say hello my name is...

Have you ever written a speech? What was it about?

The Seven Sisters Of Matariki

WALT: We are learning about the myths and legends of matariki


Once upon a time there were seven brothers, the 

 youngest was Tui. all of the other brothers were the best                          
looking men in the whole village. One day they all went 

hunting when they heard a beautiful sound so they 

decided to follow it. They followed the bush, rivers and up 

a hill. There stood the most beautiful women they had ever 
        
seen! Tui said they were fairy women. His brothers weren't 
         
listening and decided to take them back to the village and 
                                                                  
make them their wifes. Time passed and through that time 
                                                                 
the brothers always got seafood and only eat that for 

breakfast, lunch and dinner. One day one of the brothers 

came back from fishing and his wife was not there. 

when she came back he asked her where she had been. .

Then his wife burst into flames and than she whispered  

To him there plane to starve there brothers to death 

their plan was to starve his brothers to death. That night  

six fantails were sitting on a tree outside Tui’s hut then a 

7th came out of one of the brothers huts tui creeped up to 

try and listen to there plan then he gathered all of his 

brothers and told them there plan most of the brothers 

Were shocted one said I new that. Then they started to 

form a plan to catcher there wifes and put them 

Somewhere far away from anywhere. That night they got a 

Huge net and when all of there came out they caught them  

with the net and tui though them into the the night sky.  



            


The hardest part about the peace of wrtiting was trying to recreate it in my own way.


do you now more about the seven sisters of matariki ?

The amazing lockdown

Week 1:  I was happy because I didn’t have to go to 

school but I was still feeling creative, so I got out a piece 
                                                         ,
of paper and started planning to make a pallet garden.

Week 2: After I had finished I got out all the equipment 
               
and started with the crowbar. But I needed mum's help to 
                          
get the pieces out and that took about 2 days! then I had to 


 go back to the plan and recreate.  

Week 3: after I finished that I got the hammer and 

some nails out and started nailing things in place It was 

hard and I was getting annoyed but I got there in the end 

and I wasn’t angry about things that wouldn't work for me.

Week 4: When I was finished I watched lots of t.v and did

a lot of running around, playing with the dogs and 
                                    ,

running through bushes and into trees. Week 5: I played with my sister and walked around all 

of the limes well being timed. I helped mum pick limes 

and we went riding on the motorbike.  
                                                          
Week 6:  I played  with the dogs and we went to visit my 

nana and grandpa to help him build their deck.


We went to the lakefront to go into the bush to have a look  at the water.

Week 7: We helped grandpa some more with the deck

then  we went for a ride on the motorbike down to the 

packhouse. There we played while the adults worked on something.



I liked writting this piece of  writting but I found it hard to elaborate.


what did you do on lockdown?
