Factor Patterns

In Maths I have been working on factor patterns. It felt like a challenge to me. Page one was trying to get factor numbers into a even number, which was cool. What I learnt while working with factor patterns was knowing how to correctly times your number to get your product. Also trying to make a pattern using odd numbers and multiplication.

Technology day

Today at technology i continue on with my wooden piano i have been working on for the past 4 weeks. I really enjoy creating a wooden piano out of wood. It makes me feel like a professional craftier. At times i may get slightly distracted but attempt to Carrie on with my work. 

Although i am pretty proud of my self for completing half of my piano.We had a lot of different types of materials to make amazing things out of wood. But some were pretty dangerous. 

Fire Hazard Poster

This is my Fire Hazard poster I have created in Mr Nath class.

Science Intensive with Mr Nath

Today in science intensive with Mr Nath, we had talk a lot about Fire, fire safety, fire hazards, creating a fire safety poster and also making a rap or song about fire safety. We first started the day of with fire and fire safety and fire hazards. We all had a group of peered up buddies and work on those three fire safety hazards. 

We all were given a share slide, and on that slide we had to put in our ideas abut the fire of hazard. Everyone was doing really well working on the fire of hazards. After a while or so we then stopped. Mr Nath had put up a big white paper on the board, so everyone can put up there ideas on that piece of paper. 

We then moved on to slide 2. This slide was very interesting for me and my buddy Shannon. Slide 2 was a slide witch had fire safety question. These question were very interesting too. Now my favourite one of all, the rap song. Me and my Shannon were working together to try get a wonderful, amazing rap song. 

We thought and thought about some brilliant cool words that will could include in our song. At first it was frustrated but then it started to get less frustrated. After taking some time writing the song, we then moved on to many more fun activity. 

It was really fun having to be in Mr Naths class room 10. We all enjoyed it and learned a lot about fire safety and fire hazards as well. 

Thank you Mr Nath. 

Farewell Dinner

On Friday night my family and I went to gigi's down, near Manukau. This was a farewell dinner for one of our family member Chandra. On Saturday is his flight to Australia. The reason why hes going to Australia is because he has apply for a job over there. We all will truly miss him and may let out some tears at the Air port.

Anyways during the farewell dinner we all tried not to get as full to an explosion, we wanted to save just enough room for desert. Hot cakes, with six different ice cream choices, four different drizzles and all sorts of topping. Sounds like a delicious desert to me.

Everyone was full and tired. We then had restaurant service ( as i'll call them ) come in to collect our dirty food plates, and took all plates back to the kitchen. We all had a happy and enjoyable night tonight.

There were a lot of people in this together. Trying their very best to keep these whales alive. Unfortunately all they can ever do is to keep these whales wet. At the time tide was also racing out. Volunteers work until nightfall and hope these whales return to sea in high tide. They all tried to keep the whales blowhole clear and making sure everyone stays away from the whale tail. At  first they thought it was just a black swan. Until they took a look at what it really was.

Activity 2 -

I rate this trailer a 4 out of 5. This trailer was about a young girl named paikea uperanar. Paikea grandfather, had said in the first trailer, When paikea ( the young girl ) came along that's when everything went wrong between the chief ( Maybe ).

Paikea grandfather then gather all the firstborn boys, and said that's the only way they're going to find the answer. All the firstborn boys will learn all different sorts of qualities to become a chief.

Paike wanted to do it, but she couldn't because she was a girl, and girls could not do it except for boys.  So paikea did it herself, well with some amazing family members more like it.

I truly agree. Fisherman or any fishing people should be banned from the farewell spit. Because out there's a whole lot of sea creature that i'm surely, everybody care about.

This is what should be BANNED ???

Day 3 - Wild Eyes

Curious Kiwi, a native New Zealand bird, is your tour guide for today. He is going to take you to visit the Otorohanga Kiwi House and Native Bird Park where many of his aunties and uncles currently live. The bird park is a five hour drive from Dargaville so you hit the road right after breakfast and arrive in Otorohanga at lunch time. As you walk through the birdhouse you learn about the work being done to conserve and protect the native birds of New Zealand. You decide to help out by ‘adopting’ a native animal. Visit the ‘Adopt a Critter page’ on the Otorohanga bird house website to choose one animal to adopt. On your blog, tell us the name of the animal that you chose and a little bit about them. What kind of animal are they? What do they eat? Where do they normally live? You can use Google to help you with your research.

A Kea Parrot

A Kea parrot is the world's only alpine parrot. The Kea parrot omnivorous diet includes carron, But mainly of root, berries and also leaves.

A Kea parrot is, most commonly found in the Arthur's pass national park. And also in the fiordland national park.

These Kea parrot likes dismantling cars

The Kea parrot is a large parrot about 48 cm to long weighing 0.8 to 1 kg.

A Kea parrot has orange feathers on the underside of its wings. The feathers on the side of a Kea parrot face are dark olive brown and the feathers on its back and rump are orange red. Also om of the outer wing are dull blue.

A Kea parrot has four toes on each feet. Two that point forward and two that point backwards.

After your great visit to the Otorohanga bird house it is time to hop back onto the bus and head towards the Hawke’s Bay – your resting place for the evening. Hawke’s Bay is a beautiful region of New Zealand. It is known for its wineries and gorgeous scenery. When you arrive in Napier, the largest city in the region, you go for a walk through Waitangi Regional Park and notice that many of the leaves on the native trees have been damaged. Curious Kiwi tells you that they were damaged by possums, non-native predators, from Australia. People in New Zealand are working hard to trap and kill these predators. Their goal is to remove all of the possums (and other predators) by 2050. Go to the ‘Predator Free 2050 website’ to read more about their work.

Possums carry a disease called bovine TB. Which they sred to cattle. Possum eat about 21,000 tonnes leaves and flowers in just one night. Once possum population got very high, trappers began to make a good living from hunting them. But there are still about 30 million possum in new zealand today.

It is a programme for students who want to complete fun activities (called ‘missions’), take pictures and post them on the Wild Eyes site. For this bonus activity, go to the Wild Eyes site and complete the ‘Giant Moa Discovery’ mission.

Kiwi can reflection

Kiwi Can

Throughout Term 2, our Kiwi Can lessons focussed on Responsibility,

Resilience, Communication and the best of all Integrity. We have had a lot of fun times with Kiwi Can and a lot of happiness.

These four themes helped me a lot to understand what they really mean.

For e.g

Responsibility helped me to be more of a responsible person for my own things.

Resilience helped me walk away from the trouble and ignore the person who's making trouble.

Communication helped me communicate with each other and also involving others in a game or group discussion.

Integrity help me do the right thing, be a kind person and show respect.

Today Kiwi Can took Room 7 outdoors to play the one and only Multi - Sports. We had so much fun, some laughter and encouragement.

The game was like watching a bunch of funny clowns doing a wonderful shown. All room 7 student really enjoyed playing Multi - Sports. Thanks to Kiwi Can.

Now it’s time to start your tour! Curious Kiwi decides to start by taking you on a short tour through downtown Auckland. You stop at the Sky Tower, the tallest building in all of New Zealand. When you look up, you see a huge New Zealand flag on the top of the tower. This flag was created back in 1902. That makes the New Zealand flag 115 years old!

Last year, the Prime Minister of New Zealand suggested that we should replace the flag with a new, updated design. He invited everyone in New Zealand to come up with their own flag design and submit it.

For this activity, it is your turn to design a new flag. Use any drawing programme that you wish.  Once you have finished, post a copy of your design on your blog. Describe the flag, in words, below the picture. Be sure to tell us what is on the flag and what inspired your design.   

My flag of New zealand

I decided to go with this type of theme because i thought it looked brilliant. Down the bottom of the flag is plain yellow. I wanted to put in some yellow because it made my flag brighten up.

On the right we have a light blue. I inserted a light blue because it look like a matching colour two the dark blue. On the left we have a very dark blue. And the reason why i inserted that particular colour is because the X keys look like it went really well with the colour. And last of all the X Keys of course, That big black X Key.
