Math : Tree Diagrams

 WALT: Know different information on Tree Diagrams, whether it's Fractions, Decimals, or Percentages.


This task I completed is based on Tree Diagrams. If you didn't know, a Tree Diagram is used to collect data on different probabilities between 1 or more combinations. For example, tossing a coin to see if it will land on Heads or Tails, we use a Tree Diagram to see what its most likely to land on. The whole example shows in the slide show, make sure you check it out, and leave a Positive comment if needed.

Addition and Subtraction - Crime Scene (CSI T1)

WALT: .... 


This is another Crime scene task that my class participated in about 2 weeks ago, I didn't join the meet and also didn't manage to get the work done on time, but I still got it done. Instead of Multiplication and Division, we did Addition and Subtraction, it was way more easier for me to figure out especially because I did it on my own, without any help like the other CSI task. Me and my class really enjoy doing tasks like this, especially these Crime Scene tasks.

Yes!! this was the first CSI task we had to complete before Multiplication and Division.

Quirky Persuasive Writing !

 Statement: Monkeys should have their own branded toilet paper in Hawaii


Due to some research, human toilet paper is not good for the Monkey's skin which is why they need their own kind. Most people say that Monkeys are more valuable than every animal in the world because of the amount of smartness they hold.

Monkey’s are mostly known in Hawaii, they show up everywhere, in your room, KFC, beside you, and mostly in your toilet. Did you know that 50% of monkey’s stop by your house to have a little toilet break ?... Have you ever wondered why monkeys have recently started losing population??. 

Well it’s because of the Human toilet paper. Whenever they use it, it makes their skin rougher than it is, and then a few days later, you know what will happen.

We don’t wanna lose more do we ? NO!! We don’t, so help them now and help figure out a way to make some Monkey Toilet Paper. 
Thank you for your time:) !

Task description :
This week we have been working on Quirky Persuasive writing. Before we started writing we had to pick 1 word from each topic. Animal, Object/Thing, and Place, I chose 'Monkey, Toilet Paper, and Hawaii'

Disclaimer: Don't be mad if none of these 'facts' seem familiar to you, they're all fake, it was just to help Persuade:). Take care guyyyz !

Why does Matter, Matter?

The three basic properties of matters are Volume, Mass, and Shape

All matter is made up of tiny particles called Atoms

Volume is the amount of Space that matter takes up

Mass is the amount of matter an object has

Liquid takes the shape of their Container 

Gas do not have a definite shape of volume

Liquid do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume

Solid have a definite shape and volume

A Ice and Chair are examples of solids

Milk and Juice are examples of liquids.

Helium and Oxygen are examples of gas

Solid ice is melting when it's changing into a liquid.

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

This morning we did some science on Matter. Volume, Mass, and Shape, it all leads up to Solid, Gas, and Liquid. Solid: The atoms in a solid are packed closely together they bond together and not change shape. Liquid: The atoms in a liquid are close together, they slide around. Gas: The atoms in a gas are spread out and move freely.

Pyramids of Egypt

 Egyptian Pyramids. Pyramids were first built in 2780 B.C. Did you know that Pyramids were actually built for specific things, they also include lots of important stories behind them, one story is when a king/father decided to build 1 big pyramid for him to be buried in, then built another pyramid for his wives to be buried in, cool right! (I guess).  if you'd like to know more, read the rest!:)

As you probably know, pyramids were built as a burial place and monuments for the Pharaohs who pass on, along with things they need. Before pyramids were built, people were buried in the desert, and would be dug up by wild animals passing by. 

Did you know there are more than 100 pyramids on this Earth. They all contain treasures, and dead people, most of things in there are really valuable, that people try to break in. As you see in movies, there are always Traps to make sure people don't pass through to the treasure, well....that's true!.

Mastaba!, mastaba is a Rectangular Egyptian tomb, built of mud brick or, later, stone, with sloping walls and a flat roof. It also took 10-20 years to build the Pyramid of Giza. 

Anyways....Hope yous learnt something important about the Egyptian pyramids, and actually caught on to some important facts about specific things.

Please comment down below, if you have any questions.

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

Please stay tuned in the next day or 2, for the paragraphs, because I am still working on them. (Don't hate!) :).

Fiafia 2021

 Last night we had Fiafia, it's when our school goes into cultural groups and does a performance for the families that come and watch. The group I was in was the Senior Samoan group, when we went to perform everyone cheered for us joyfully. My favourite group was the Junior Hip group, along with the Tongan Girls, they were both so amazing because, both groups looked really interested in what they were doing,and tried so hard to make everyone proud, anyways, most of all it was very fun, and am pretty sure everybody enjoyed it as well.

My Leadership Goals.

 WALT: Show leadership towards other people


Today the year 8's are doing a big reflection on camp, talking about why being a leader towards others are important, if you'd like to know more, please go through the slide show, Thank you!

Camp Reflection

 Last week, from Wednesday to Friday, the beautiful yr 8’s went to camp, well the yr 7’s stayed behind and did a step up programme, because next year they will be the next yr 8’s. At camp, I was the leader of Team Green/Kauaeranga with Teingoa. For the activities we had to go in 2 groups, Kauaeranga A and Kauaeranga B, Team A was the girls and Team B was the boys. 

When we got there we did some fun team work activities that had to include everyone, along with all the teams. By the look on everyone's faces, everybody enjoyed it. We played a game that was sort of like Rippa rugby, but in the end we had to count all the tags we ripped off the other teams. That was probably one of my favourite activities. 


Another activity I enjoyed was Go-Karts with Mr J. I could tell my team really enjoyed it, because we all had more than 1 and 2 turns going around twice. Although some people in my team didn’t wanna have a go, they did it anyway and really enjoyed it. They wanted to go again and again, weird but cool right!?. 


Lastly we had a camp concert, and had a very awesome Polynesian night, where we got to dress in anything poly related, like have a lavalava, a lei, or a sei. After that we had to get dressed in proper clothes to perform our items in. Our item ws really cool, we did an entrance of ‘Leave the door open’ by Bruno mars, the other teams did things like. The three little pigs, dancing, singing, and more. It was really fun!.


Most of all, my team really had good participation and communication skills toward each other, we really got along well, and had an amazing time at camp. Sadly, it is over. But anyways, we at least got to talk about all the fun times we had. Hope we get to go to a camp like that again, but definitely know it won’t be as fun as this one!.
