Goosebumps.

Kia Ora. So today I haven't done much for my book review, but that is the page that I got up to. I went to page 24, were the spooky and cool part is. So I got my book for the Kaikohe Library. I have tried to get all my blog posts done just in a week, and I accomplished it. So yeah, here is a short and quick presentation on my review. Enjoy.

Converting Mixed Fractions.

Tena koutou katoa. Ko te mea tuatahi me mhi au ki te atua, koia te timatanga me te mutunga o nga mea katoa. Hello and welcome back!. Today my teacher asked me if I could do a presentation on some math startegies. I said "of course whaea" so I did. Here is a link to watch the video of my math strategy. If you think that I should add some more detail in, comment below. Click link to watch video.

Tech.

Kia Ora Koutou. Today I have chosen to put on my Technology. Why?, because the yr8's go down to the Kaikohe Intermediate to do some technology. Our Technology teacher is Whaea Maureen. Here is a presentation with some information about what we are doing at technology.

Ko Au Te Waka, Ko Te Waka Ko Au.

Weekly Comment.

Hello. I have been trying my hardest to make weekly comments on people's blogs. This week I have chosen to comment on Kaya's blog. I chose to comment on her Debugging Coding Activity. Here is a little post of the comment I done.

Letter To The Families In Christchurch.

Coding Activity.

First you have to know where it is not. Next you have to remove the bug, and fix the trouble it made. After that you have to change the algorithm to make it right. We are learning to debug algorithms. Bugs are a mistake in a programme. If we fix the bug the programme will work. The fun part about this was being able to make your own coding activity. The hardest part was making my own because I absolutely forgot about how to do the coding. I enjoyed doing the debugging Coding Activity. I really did learn heaps about debugging coding activity. Down the bottom are some of the coding photos that I took. That is how we made our person right to light up all the blue patches on the ground.

Book Review.

Kia Ora. Today I have chosen to do a book review on Alice Jones The Ghost light. I wasn't told to do this. I just thought to Self Manage myself and get on with something creative. My old teacher Whaea Gaylene always told the class to Work harder not smarter. I know that it ain't much but at least I done something.

Explanation Writing!

Today we had the privilege to get our writing results back. In the past weeks our class done the explanation writing. My goal is to aim to get a 4a-5b, that means that I have to focus and get everything done on time. That also means that I have to make sure that I either get a score of 34/35 or else I can try and get a 36/38. I have tried my hardest to try and get to a score of 31-32 and 36-38. This is what my writing looked like. I think that I really do need to try my hardest to achieve my goal.

Place Value Partitioning! πŸ’–

W.A.L.T: Add and subtract decimals using place value partitioning. This is our math that we learnt with Whaea Gaylene. We are the top group in the class. Our group name is called Porohita (Circles). I have enjoyed it because we have learnt and picked it up so fast. I love math. Math is my favourite subject. All we have to do with these problems are adding the wholes together and then adding the tenths. Sometimes you have to rename your tenths to make them wholes.

CommentπŸ’–πŸ’–

Kia Ora, I have chosen to comment on Tehanah. The reason why I have chosen to comment on Tehanah was because we are friends. We are the most self managing people at our school. I don't have much to say about Tehanah but this is my comment that I done on Tehanah.πŸ’–πŸ’–

Ki-O-Rahi!

Today our P.E coach cam into our class and choose the 20 people to go down to Lindvart Park, and represent Tautoro School. I got chosen to represent our school. We done some practice today. The main thing that we learn't today was communicating with others, learning how to run around not stand around like statues. Our warm up was to run around the Ki-O-Rahi field so we can start playing. I have learn't the basic's of playing Ki-O-Rahi. I was an excellent game. The rest of the people that didn't get picked went outside to play Maori sports. They said that because we got chose for Ki-O-Rahi it's not fair, so they went outside to go and play some Maori sports. In our group was Zephaniah, Chrystalle, Tristan, Sonny-Boy and I. We have a great team. We had to communicate with the team so that we can have a turn at getting the ball.

Why do stars twinkle?

This is a short story of what we had to read. So all of the highlighted words were the words that were  wrong. The challenge was to try and fix up the mistakes of all the wrong words. The hardest part was when I had to find out what to do when I was finished. The easiest part was when I finished writing the spelling words correctly. I find reading the hardest subject and math is the easiest. This is the short amount of writing that I wrote yesterday. I was supposed to put in the vocabulary but I obviously got stuck and forgot.

WALT: Find, discuss and explain all punctuation.


Twinkle, Twinkle, Little star.


You may be surprised to learn that stars actually never do no twinkling at all!
When you look at a star they are seeing them through the the thick layers of air that make
up the earth's atmosphere. When the stars light passes through these layers of air,
the light is bent or ‘refracted’ differently by each layer.  This is because of moisture in the air,
as well as different air temperatures and the movement of the air,
Together, it makes the starlight seem to be moving, witch we see as twinkling.


Right way of spelling errors.

Ko Te Kupu Ahau.

Today we went with Whaea Chanella for Te Reo Maori. We learnt the simple things about Te Reo. The easiest part of today was nothing, because I am just too good for Te Reo Maori. I am the best at Te Reo Maori so I finished this really fast. The hardest thing about today was absolutely nothing, because we learnt everything when we started. Sorry but the video didn't load fast enough so I just used the link. Push the link below to view the video.

Technology.

This week Me and Tehanah were partners. When we got to the Intermediate we had to go to their powhiri. Then we went to have a kai. We didn't have enough time to finish our dish, but we ended up finishing it. We made some bacon and eggs with chocolate pastry. The successful thing about the day was that we made a success in our dish, we also didn't fail with anything. Nothing was bad!


Technology!.

In the past weeks, the year 8's went to technology. Me and Tehanah were partners. We had to make a dish using flour, sugar, butter, banana's, tomatoes, raro, bacon, Milo, eggs, baked-beans, milk, weetbix, coco-pops and bread. At first me an Tehanah had an idea, we were thinking of making pancakes, maple syrup and bacon. But then something happened... The pan didn't work and the pancakes burnt. So we decided to make something else it was... A banana cake. The successful thing about that day was that we eventually came up with something. The bad things were that our pan didn't work and the pancakes burnt.

Computational Thinking.πŸ’–

We are learning about computational thinking. We have learn't how to write an algorithm to get a pirate to the treasure chest. We made our own coding programme and challenged a friend to solve it. I think the hardest part was when I had to find our what arrow was forward. The easiest part was when I had the time to create my own coding programme. In order to be successful I had to remember to make sure that my instructions were set properly.πŸ’–πŸ’–
