This week we have been looking at Beat plastic pollution. I really enjoyed looking and watching the videos they were really interesting

Couple of weeks ago it was our assembly I attended a video called ka taea e ahau/au. The easy part was saying what I need to say. The hard part was how to speak  my Maori part but I enjoyed it here is my video that me and my buddy did.

last week on Friday  we went to our school  pool to do some testing on our boats the boat we tested was. The easy part was putting the money on the boat to see if it floats. The hard part was trying to make it stay still until it is straight. We were learning what the words  (Buoyancy) and (destiny)  How to make a boat float is the weight the lightness or if its heavy.  I failed on my boat because I never finished my raft in time. Next time I will try and finish my Raft in time.

Yesterday we made Christmas trees  out of:

Ooooh the Joys of teaching ALGEBRA to the year 9’s. They always ask me: WHAT is Algebra and WHY do we need to learn it?
So yesterday instead of the normal way of doing it, I decided to start with that question and to give them a challenge:

• Google: What is Algebra
• Watch a few videos (find the BEST one, don’t just watch one)
• Then challenge:

Today we are going to sit down and do our self review. We will be discussing a few things.
One of the things on my to do list is:
What is learning to learn and how will we incorporate it into our Mathematics Faculty.

I am going to share the following video with the teachers, and then illustrate a typical learning to learn environment by asking them to make me a slideshow/infographic of what “learning to learn” is.
I’ve already made mine, and then we will sit together and make a slideshow of :
What learning to learn will look like in the Bay of Islands College Mathematics Classes.

5.  Grab your glue then glue all three of the cupcake cups onto the Ice block stick make sure to glue the part you folded in half and the part you folded into a triangle then your finished. 

. first u get cape cake cups

 . glue

This morning we were reflect on our boat’s for our project.The boat we had tested was Honekai’s we filled water into Honekai’s bottle we had voted if it would Float or Sink 15 kids had voted for sink and 3 had voted for float and we had went to go test Honekai’s waka it had sinked.

I think the boat did not float because there was to much density on the bottles so the only parts of the bottles that had air stayed up and floated above the water.
if u put water everywhere its greater then the boat pushes the water left to right some goes under it so powerful it like a rip.😂💕👑✌if u jumped of the boat u will get pulled under and stay under the boat🙈🙈and we don’t want to see that we need to be careful for other in the sea so make sure if ur not a confident  swimmer 👍if Ur not please where a life jacket swimming our on a boat a life jacket will save your life one day. ✌✌✌✌

Today we went down to the pool to test Honekais boat we filled it with water and we had to predict whether it was going to float or sink it obviously sank because of how solid the inside was if it had no water on the inside it will float because its less dense

This morning my class was observing a creative boat that I will describe: It had two big water bottles then it was taped together then it had a balloon with a lollipop stick taped to the bottles then we had to fill it up with water. Then we observed and we saw that some of the creative boat had sunk but a little bit of it was floating Awatea said ¨because there´s still some air in it that causes the boat to still float and it doesn’t sink to the bottom¨ when we finished observing Whaea Verbina said ¨ who said it would sink and who said it would float¨ Steven, Ebony, Quin, Ngapua, Kody, Honekai, Mahuta, Tuishaly, Kosena, Eva, Awatea, Delina, Tamarah and me said that it would sink but Xavier, Joshua and Manu said it would float poor them because it sunk I think they need more learning on this.

In the mid 1930’s things began to change for the better in New Zealand. More people were able to find work and receive a steady paycheck. They were still careful, with their money and rarely, if ever bought treats of gifts for one another.

Imagine if you were able to travel back in time to visit a family in . What special gifts or treats would you like to bring with you? I would like to bring back Jordan 12, a Rolex, blue eyed pit bull, 1 million dollars and Elvis Presley

This week we have been learning how to do fractions with the hole number and the formula And that the top number is the numerator and the bottom is denominate. The hard part was  thinking and working the problem out. The easy part was following the formula. I enjoyed doing the Problems. Here is My work of fraction.
