Revising Fractions and Decimals!!!!

Malo e Lelei , blog readers.  This blog post I actually did in school time. This is a maths based work, and the platform around this task is fractions and decimals. This task had Equivalent Fractions, and Adding Decimals. This was a actual decent task. Because I knew the Equivalent fraction part but then I had heaps of trouble with the adding decimal. I love a to challenge myself with maths question, and with a bit of help by my teacher Mrs. Stone I was able to be one of the first person to blog in my maths group.

A Moon Myth

Talofa Lava, blog readers. This task is also part of my catch up work. This is a reading based subject and this story is based on another famous Maori myth (Rona and The Moon). This was the first myth I was actually familiar myth because when I was younger my class sang a song about Rona and the Moon.  The reason why we did this task was to make connections across a range of texts and well know'n as my walt for last weeks task. Anyways Thanks for listening and checking out my blog.

Rona and Moon Myth

In a small village there lived a little family. A mother Rona, her lazy husband and her children. Although Rona’s husband had the job of carrying containers filled with water to keep the family hydrated, sadly Rona was left with most of the responsibilities.

One night Rona and her family ran out of water. It was super dark and so obviously instead of her husband getting water, he with no hesitation sent Rona down to get more water. Rona didn’t have a choice so off she went.

The moon was the only light Rona had. Rona ran as quickly as she could, leaping through rocks, and branches. Rona was not yet halfway by the water hole so she continued running. Then, out of nowhere, a huge cloud passed across the moon’s face.That incident caused Rona’s path and the night to turn pitch black.

Rona not having a clue on where she was running, she tripped and fell over branches and rocks. Rona felt the full impact in her fall causing her to be out for some minutes. Rona was badly bruised and badly hurt.

All of a sudden she started yelling these awful words to Marama the moon. And so Marama had enough of it and proceeded to grab Rona. With a tight grip Rona was able to hold on to a branch of a ngaio tree. Although Rona had a strong grip it was no match for Marama.

And so along with the ngaio branch the Moon had successfully captured Rona. Marama was able to teach Rona to be polite and have manners. Marama politely asked Rona if she wanted to enter back into her real world, but Rona had refused to go back.

And so when her family looks up into the moon they are able to see Rona’s shadow in the moon.

Te Ika A Maui

Kia Ora Everyone. I know I haven't been posting for awhile, so I decided  to post all the things I'm behide on. Starting with this task Te Ika A Maui. This is a reading based task, based on a popular Maori Myth  Te Ika A Maui. The only thing I missed out on was the storyboard and the writing, but I figured they'd go well on a different post, just because they relate is some way.  I also loved reading aloud because it gives me more and more confident's to be comfortable with reading. And I can tell I'm improving in reading which is awesome as well. Thanks for Listening.

Leadership Goal ,, For 2021

Kia Ora Everyone. So this task is really just Bradley and I talking about goals we want to accomplish, and how much we love it in the Senior block. One of our goals is to become prefects which mean we have to be role models , be respectful to other ,  if we want that prefect role.

We've also added prefects from 2017 , 2018 , 2019 , and 2020. I really do understand why they were all prefects and why they had that role. It was honestly because how they treated kids within the age of 5 , 6 , 7 , and 8. And they were constantly super kind.  So I do want to have a role of being a prefect. And whats cool is that I can ask my cousin some tips because in 2018 he had the prefect role.

Step Up, Leadership + Photos

Step Up For 2021

This year's Step Up program was astonishing! I am so grateful for the opportunity we were given to step out of our comfort zone.

The activities we should definitely keep for 2020 are all activities. I would like to keep all the games because it mainly helps us to cooperate with each other but also to support each person even if they are not on the same team. But I do think it would be amazing if we add in more sports to the timetable, and also more team time just to get everyone on the same page but also to work as a team together to be awesome leaders and role models.

Overall, these three days are really important. It is so good for us to step out of our comfort zone. But to also step up while the year 8s are away. But it is good showing off a bit of your talent. It also helps us get ready for the future.

As I Saw It

Today we learnt about Captain Cooks first day In New Zealand. We also learnt that if a chief or a leader hears fake news from a bad guys perspective then everyone will believe because they have all the power.
