Weekend Reflection:T2W6 Part 1

IALT: reflect on past activities in a reflection type of way

Saturday morning I had to chose between two teams and at first I choses to go to my original team but as soon at I got to one of my team mates houses I found that they had already gone. I was sad at first so then I just walked home and I logged into my phone. I got a text from my cousin saying to go to his house so I could go with them to their rugby game. Once I got to his house I knocked on the door and went inside.

It took a while for the couch to come but when we were waiting my favourite part was playing basketball because I keep winning with my 3 pointers. The ride to Ponsonby took a while but when we got there we warmed up and before I knew it the game started. I was nervous at first because they also had big players but with the encouragement of my good friend Toni I played with pride.

Unfortunately we lost but at least I scored a try. After the game we were just calling out to these girl and I even chased after their car onto the road. Back when we went back to Tevita house we had a BB and after that we went to school and played basketball with some people and then I went home and watched Mulan.

Thank you so much for reading this blogpost of my Saturday. Much love to you all.

Police Guinea Pig Mascot dies

WALT: Blog about what we have read in depth.

The New Zealand police’s much-loved guinea pig has died. Constable Elliot was his name and he was the New Zealand police's mascot with his own police uniform like the ones the police wear now. The sad thing is on the article 209 people think that this news is funny and when I saw that I started laughing as well.

It was announced that he had passed on the 21st of August on twitter and to many officers it was a sad and depressing Tweet. I think this is very sad news because Constable Elliot was the mascot for motorist to slow down especially around school zones.

Constable Elliot was based with Wellington police. His saying was " Remember people, the kids are going to be out and about walking and biking and crossing roads.

“Like me they are small and unpredictable so you have to watch out.”

Please leave a comment if you think this is sad news. Thank you all for reading this blogpost about Constable Elliot the Guinea Pig. Much love to you all.

Technology Reflection:T2W5

Today was the final session we had with Miss Ferguson, it was also the most stressful for her because I could tell by her voice and her face. All we did for this session was just add the missing touches to our clocks then we put the clock mechanism in then we finished. 

It took some time for me because I had to paint the front of the back, we also had this weird conversation about the front of the front, the back of the front, the front of the back and the back of the back. After painting the front of the back I had to wait even more because Miss was glueing everything together.

I just play some games with some friends to pass the time until finally it was glued. She put the clock on and then she took a photo of it and me. I am very proud of the effort I put into making this clock and it was challenging at times because I was way behind when the class started painting so i had ton focus and I ended being one of the 5 who finished first. Unfortunately one student didn't even get to take her clock home because she had been away for mor then 5 week including this one.

Thank you for reading this blogpost about technology, Leave a comment if you think my clock looks good (it's the red and blue bull). Much love to you all.

Kiwi Can Reflection: T2W5

WALT: take what we have learnt from Kiwi can and use them in everyday life

This week of Kiwi Can we just recapped on what we have learnt for the session for this term, like emotions, self control and Resilience. It was a good session to be at because we learnt about how our emotions can affect other if we let it all out.

An example of this is like if you have a coke bottle. If you shake the coke it will fill up with pressure like our emotion being held back, when you open that bottle it just explodes. If we keep our feelings to ourselves for too long then one way or another we are going to explode like that coke bottle. If you feel like sadness is overwhelming you then talk to someone you trust because that sadness might turn into depression and then you may even end up hurting yourself.

The same goes with anger. If you bottle up your anger then you might end up taking it out on someone. The two games we played were Tag The Master and Mat Dodge Ball. I was one of the champions with the other three people and the I was the overall champion. After all that recapped and then the session was over.

Thank you so much for reading this reflection about Kiwi Can.

Much love to you all

Cyber Smarts: Map of my History

WALT: create a digital footprint
In this DLO I have created a map of my history over a period of 24 hours on my netbook and these are the apps or websites I have been on. I made this map during cyber smarts and in that time we learnt about our history and that we can never delete it. Demetrius and I took a look at my history and made this map. The start of the map is my Drive and making its way to mail then off to Blogger and Google, sites and Google drawing. The ship was taking me home and all day I played tanki.

I found working with Demetrius challenging because he was mucking around but in the end we finally finished. Thank you so much for reading this cyber smarts blog post, feel free to leave a comment. Much love to you all.

New Zealand's Best Pie

I was scrolling down on Kiwi Kids News and I saw an article about New Zealand's best pie and it's a venison, mushroom, bacon and cheese pie. Just reading this article made my mouth salivate and it is baked by Lee Ing from Fast & Fresh Bakery, his pie beat 5696 other entries to unanimously take out the 2017 NZ Bakels Supreme Award. I hope one day I can get the opportunity to eat this pie and i would unfortunately I would have it for myself and not share. Mr Ing bought the bakery just over a year ago after working there for two years and learning all his skills from the previous owner.

I would definitely work with Mr Ing because he could teach me his ways of creating this pie and if I knew how to I would make it everyday. Click here for the link to the original article so you can read it for yourself. Leave a comment if you must, also thank you all for reading this blogpost from me. Much love to you all.

Goals for Term 3

These are my goals for this term and I think with my personal goal I am going to really challenge myself. My personal goal is to try my absolute best to earn two value badges this term. This goal s really going to help me change my behaviour not only as a person but as a Tamaki learner. This term has gotten off to a ruff start for me but I am sure with the help of my teacher I am going to make a change. I am really exited for what this term is going to bring and if push comes to shove, i'll see what I can do. Leave a comment on what your personal goal is and lest see if you can achieve it too. Thank for reading this blogpost by me.

Kiwi Sport Reflection: T2W2

WALT: try new things even if it's out of our comfort zone.

This term Kiwi sport is Hip Hop and it was a surprise to me because everyone was telling me that this term was cricket but it is actually Hip Hop. In this session we me learnt about the 4 different types of hip hop and they are...

1. (Art) Grafitti is the main part in art and it means to write or draw stuff on the walls in public. Graffiti artist make it eye catching so when random people walk by their attention is drawn to the art.
2. (Dance) Dance is the one of the main ways of hip hop because dancing was a way for the african american to express themselves because they were not being treated fairly and dance was how they showed themsleve to others, through their dance moves.
3. (Rap/MC) Music is huge when it comes to hip hop and rapping happens to as popular. I don't know how rapping started but it was on of the four main parts of hip hop that our instructor taught us.
4. (DJ) The lucky last is DJ. DJing is when someone take recorded music and mashes them together to make another song. However a DJ is also someone who plays songs at a special event or over the radio.

After all of that we learnt some new dance moves called James Brown and The Smurf. It was a lit session but the best moment was when we all danced together because it was in sync but we had a few laughs to. Thank you for reading my blogpost about Kiwi Sport and don't forget to leave a comment. Much love.

Maths Reflection: T2W2

Maths this week was challenging but unfortunately I couldn't finish all of it in time. The questions that I answered were all about multiplication and the first few were quite easy but when I got to the big numbers, that's when I struggled with them. I was working with Sifa and Toma and they were helping me a little but they were mostly talking about other things. One of the questions was 25 x 5 x 52 , it took me time to figure it out but in the end I got there. 



This weeks work was challenging but I still enjoyed them because they made me really think about numbers and it has helped improve my knowledge on times tables. Each big question made me think even harder and I love it when I am challenged by something because it means that i can get better than what I was at before. Overall I am really proud of myself because when I was challenged I got though it and improved. Thank you all for reading this blogpost about my maths work this week, fell free to leave a comment if you know the answer to 25 x 5 x 52.
