Hey Everyone! this week was the last ever-current events quiz for this year. If you're unsure of what the 2020 current vents quiz is it is a great school format of world current questions on the latest inquiry-based topics we have three options of an answer for the quiz for example A, B, C we pick one answer we think would be the correct statement and we telly up all of our variety of answers and mark our best. This week was a world review from every week we have had the previous question throughout the year and some very similar to all our other quizzes and answered w then picked one and explored everything we could about our topic. This week this one popped my eye as it was about heavy world pollution and will take decades to fix. One thing I had found difficult about this weekes topic was trying to understand some of the words in meaning the world oil spills and the all the variety of relateing to the problem with challenging words and trying to gather as much information as I possibly could overall it was an interesting topic to explore and have a read more about it !.

Art colouring for the summer learning Challenge

 

Hey Everyone! Today we have been looking at the summer learning journey challenge and we have decided as a team class we will be making and transforming an art colouring challenge together as this is the first challenge this year for the summer learning journey. We made these Clolourings on a website called the art colouring book you can find on google. I have a really enjoyable time doing the first summer learning journey challenge this year as well as experimenting with different colours. I also Found finding different but natural official ocean colours for my picture but I am really happy with the outlook.

Addition with different Denominators Maths DLO

 

Heye everyone ! this week we have been looking at fractions and each person in the class / each individual was given an action plan with two types of new mathematical tasks you want to learn throughout the week. I chose as one of mine to be Addition with different denominators as this was where I found a gap in my maths and decided I want to learn new learning skills throughout this week with a different new maths task. 

I found the experience of learning addition with different denominators hard while trying to figure out at the start what add and what to times but by the time I proceeded everything it all came to mind. Check out my video that gives you a clear demonstration video on how to do adding with different denominators. 

Week 7 Current Events

 

Hey everyone! today we were focusing on our worldwide current events. I was really emerged and checked the guy named Wesley from Thailand was an American tourist who wrote such a terrible review for such a nice-looking restaurant and hotel. I have multiple slide shows to have a look at and on one of them there is the real travel adviser review as the hotel took it down and changed the review so it was now not visible. He has now faced charges with at least two years of jail time and has presented himself at the tailand jail for 2 nights' sleep so far into the process. He attended the restaurant in June this year / 2020 With a stated review of a terrible place and none of the staff are friendly. 

I have a question for you? if you reed this travel advisor review would you stay at this hotel or would you eat this restaurant?

have a look at the awesome slideshow!

Selflessness In sportsmanship

Selflessness is a major word in the sports world and especially how you show it towards everyone! 

I choose this word out of many different words and for a variety of reasons first up it is a very meaningful word and can be used to show values to everyone. This word selflessness means helping everyone if they are down or sad. And if you are the one helping everyone people will look back feel guilty that they didn't help all it takes is you ! to change everything during a sports game or even just in the community. 

 

Sportsmanship for dummies Guide For You !

 

Hey everyone! This week and during the last previous weeks we have been focusing on sportsmanship. I have made sportsmanship for dummies guide for you to follow as every moment in life I'm sure we have all looked back and thought about how we could have been the one that always helped the person that was down felt sad about themselves or was hurt. I know many times I have felt guilty for this and known I could have helped? I have a question for you when was a time you showed sportsmanship. I made a guiding hand made on paper for display in the classroom so everyone can have a look at it and help each other.

One thing I found difficult was trying to found colours that contrast together nicely on my poster while trying to present a quilty work poster.  As the colours I used were contrasting between light tones and sports colours.
Showing sportsmanship can change to people think of you in a perspective as you could be doing something so great on the sports field or court or even just showing respect towards everyone out there or even in your community and people feel good about you and you feel good about yourself. 

Great barrier reef will shock your mind !

Hey Everyone! This week we have been focusing on our current events and I decided to focus on the topic of the Great barrier reef. As through the year, I previously was looking at this ecosystem and found out so much more interesting information than I thought so I thought this topic would be a perfect choice. I found out that 50% of the great barrier reef has died over the years as it had a rapidly fast break then a slow 20 percent break in one year which still is an extreme change for the great barrier reef.  

One thing I felt difficult was trying to figure out the fractions of precentages on how much it took away from the great barrier reef. But I had an enjoyable time finding out more about the great barrier reef Read more to find out! 

 

3 Major Olympic Values

 

Hey Everyone! This week we are looking at sportsmanship and how we can show sportsmanship everywhere in our life. We have been looking at how we can show sportsmanship in all aspects of our lives. So I hoped on to the official Olympic website and gathered information about their 3 major Olympic values. I have been inspired by these three Olympic values to show compassion to everyone and not put myself first maybe help everyone around me that is struggling or if I'm coming first and my teammates are struggling to breathe or are unwell I could help them and that is what I have picked up and been inspired by. 

One thing that I could do better / what I found difficult was that I realized I don't show sportsmanship enough and I need to put everyone else in perspective just instead of me being selfish about me coming first or being the best. It is good to be the best you can be but on top of that being the best you can be is being others to be the best you can be.

Current Event's Around New Zealand and Australia Bubble outburst

 

Hey Everyone! this week and as you may previously know each week we are going to be focusing on a current worldwide event topic. I have currently picked one that was very knowledgeable about our crazy pandemic and that was about how some new Zealander travels were set into NSW Australia without quarantine and 65! into Victoria Australia where the worst Australia outbreak was located. This was all happening without The prime minister of both countries knowing and having a clue as the Australian government and premier stated they were not absolutely happy with any of these happening. 

One thing I enjoyed and engaged about making this post and finding out about it was how they entered areas and went into different bubbles and finding out about how many numbers of people there were. 

One thing that I found difficult and I could work on is On how I was getting confused about where they were going as 5 went overseas to South Africa, 65 went off to Victoria Australia and 23 - 24 were located in the northern territory, NSW. I also was getting confused about where they went and trying to gather information from different websites and articles was also difficult as they all stated little bits more different 

" How to Guide " On showing sportsmanship

 

Hey Everyone! This week for literacy we have been looking at what makes great sportsmanship. I have created a fun document here on how to be a good sportsman and how it can change up the effect and cause that is put into your game. I found out by reading some articles that most good sports players don't get their name out there by how good they are but how kind and good they are to people out of the field, court, competition, pools, and much more. I have one last finishing question for you? what is the most memorable moment that has ever happened to you while playing a sport, who has ever shown, or have you seen show sportsmanship?

 

Maths DLO

Hey Everyone! In this video Today, I will be teaching you how to use a travel timetable. This is more of a focus on time and distance which is most important while using travel tables. I have been working on my time tables for around a week maximum now and have really made progress by going deeper and searching for tests that will give me what I need. I Learnt a lot doing this time table test as I learnt to make times like 12:17 - 2:30 just to round of 12:17 and make it 12:20 then add the extra numbers after. As if you watch the tutorial I have simply demonstrated how to do them. 

Now I wouldn't say I found one thing frustrating and difficult I found a lot of things difficult learning and experimenting with a new maths topic. I first found out that making bigger numbers with time really helps and then just adding the extra numbers you took away just add them back on which if you watched the tutorial you would get more of an understanding of this strategy. It was also challenging to fin maths tests that gave me the right strategy and give me more knowledge on time tables but I definitely found out how to use them by using this test. 

I hope I have taught you something about how to use time tables and Now I know I can use this when I travel next.  

Lake Ohau Fire New Zealand Current Event

 

Hey Everyone! This week we are looking at the current events around our world and had to do a quiz On a variety of different questions and then had to pick one type of question that was eye a peeling and grabbed our attention. I choose the lake Ohau fires as I have been previously through the weekend seen it pop up on the news and wanted to know more about it. I found out that over 48 - 50 properties were damaged and destroyed by the fire as well as how many sheep were injured in the fire was Crazy!

I found many things difficult while researching this topic as It was more of a difficulty to find out how many properties were damaged how many people evacuated because the news was giving me 50 properties but then every other news hub website would give me 48 properties as I found out the estimate was 48 - 50. I also found out that 200 people had to evacuate but it was very diffacult to find out the number of people and animals that were gone or critically injured.

One thing I would like to know from You ! is? How many hectares did you think the giant fire took out before you researched this? 

I really enjoyed Finding out everything about the fires but mostly about the number of hectares, it took out  And how it happened. 

NZEA Changes for School Credits

 

Hey Everyone! today we have done an end of week quiz and one of our tasks that relates to the quiz was researching one of the questions we were interested in. I chose Changes to NCEA that will be implemented for Auckland secondary students Due to the disruption of COVID - 19. What I found difficult while doing this was finding the real information about the credits as some websites said different things to others ao I had to gather up the most common answer and do more research on that. I really enjoyed making this research project as I find out so much more about NCEA levels and how much you actually need!

My orographic rain cycle

Facts and knolage about rain and the whole cycle

Hey everyone, Today we are going to be listing Our knowledge on rain and its cycle.

Now before we get started let's take a recap of what rain actually is? 

Now that's a big question. But we should all know that rain falls from the dark scary
clouds in the sky or from a beautiful sun shower from the nice white fluffy clouds.

But rains, not the only course that falls from the sky thongs such as hail, snow and sleet can as well.

I am sure we now have a big understanding of what rain so let's take a look
into the deep knowledge around the system of rain.

Rain can also occur to other planets of our solar system, not just earth itself.
But the rain on the other planets experiences different rain to us on earth.
For example, the rain on venus would be made of a word called sulfuric which means:
it contains sulphur acid or wood fires. 

The highest amount of rainfall that has ever been recorded in 1 - 2 days was
182.5 centimetres 71.9 inches in other words. This occurred during tropical cyclone Denise on
January 8, 1966. How crazy !?

And the highest ever rainfall in one year was 1000 inches, how massive is that.

Heavy rain can also course floods and some heavy rain that attracts

the sea and can also sometimes cause tsunamis.

Also going back to types of acid. Acid rain does have a
particular name and that is ( acid rain ) now caused by the release of sulphur
dioxide and nitrogen oxides that attracts the air. Into the land and earth.

The power of this acid can hurt and affect plants and animals.

Overall I think the whole rain cycle is amazing and very eye
pulling and I learnt today that acid rain can affect many different things.

The end, By Maya, Thanks

Matariki and reflection on the past 12 months

Hey, everyone, My name is Maya Mcintyre, And I'm here today to talk about the stars and background of Matariki. Also, We have been passed on to do a reflection on these past 12 months and what's been happening or what's happened with our Family.

Now before we start I would just like to get a recap and talk more about the topic Matariki. Now Matariki, as we all know, is a cluster of stars that rise upon the month's May and even late June. As different cultures can call Matariki and different names. The Maori call Matariki “ Matariki “ as other cultures call them/the seven stars. As the seven stars are Matariki. The English call them the Pleiades. For the Maori, Matariki is a huge celebration to them as they celebrated as the new year's cycle of death. Most people as you will well know to celebrate New Year on the 1st January as it is a brand new year date. 

The celebration of Matariki was a big celebration that everyone celebrated back in the past decades but it un supposedly stopped in the 1940s. But ever since around the 2000s, Matariki has unexpectedly become popular again. Which I am very happy about because it is a very exciting topic to learn about. 

A really cool activity to do is actually look up at the stars and see if you can find or spot the seven stars but make sure to have a good look at the twinkles in the sky.

Now there is a big background and characters on Matariki. One legend I found was about the clusters of stars and the seven sisters during the visit each star helps Papatūānuku to prepare for the year to come. And getting gifts to her and her family they had to make their food each day and survive. As you may know, these seven sisters are called Maia, Alcyone, Asterope, Celaeno, Taygete, Electra, Merope I found some of this part of the story really interesting.

As you may know, Matariki is 400 - light-years away. The light travel distance can take 365.25 days which is a super-duper long way of traveling and the paste is at least 299, 792 km per second! WHAT ! that is super fast.

Now My family over these past 12 months a lot of amazing things as happened first off - the houses: Now My mum sister and my sister's dad lived in a 2 bedroom house about 2 minutes away from my Dads house it had been dun up but we were ready to put it on the market and it finally!SOLD! After waiting 2 months then we moved into a rental I town. I had a couple of school friends there. It was really awesome. But suddenly a private option came up and we brought a family friend's house with a pool and a spa right in town. How lucky are we?

Gymnastics: in these past 12 months I have done around 10 competitions - 12 for gymnastics around the whole of the south island each one has been a blast and I have succeeded as I got put graded up higher levels every 6 months at least I am very proud of myself for this matter.

The new baby - in December last year My mum announced she was pregnant at the time I was happy and sad but I worked through it and I am very excited now but still a little shocked. At the same time we also found out it was a boy And I did not like the gender reveal. I did happily want another sister but now I can teach her many other special savage talents.

SCHOOL CAPTAIN!!!!!!! - Now as my palms were sweating the whole prize giving as I sat on my chair waiting to find out who the captain of the new event was I was so scared but when they called my name out I was fizzing and I was so proud and happy it was a great feeling and outcome.

Family Holidays - Like me and my family have been on so many family holidays last year we were lucky enough to go to Australia twice the first time was with my mum and my sister we stayed with my mom's best friend and her daughter in Brisbane and had a blast. The second time was with my dad and cousins. We had an amazing time and got to catch up with my nana. We had the most amazing time. 

WELLINGTON CAMP - Yay wellington camp we woke up at 5:00am got to school packed dad's truck with my best friends and had the best time of our lives at wellington camp it was just the best time everrrrrr !!!!!!!!

12th birthday - as I had my birthday in lockdown it was a very different birthday but we pulled through and it was a very extravagant time.

COVID - 19 - this is going to make modern history the impact it has put on the world is amazing and I can't wait for the thing to go back to normal but this is dying downs the carriage and impact it took to move levels own we have down an amazing job NZ
