Here Is The Photo’s For What I have Been Doing In Numeracy. (Hope You Enjoy :D)
Old fashioned maths
This week my class did old fashioned maths.It was hard at first but I got the hang of it and it came a lot easier to do and. I say I am quite good at old fashioned maths.But when it comes to three ditch numbers and times it with tens and that is where I struggle.To get it correct but I do try my best to try and get it.
Womens Right To Vote.
In Te Ngahere we made movies. We had to have a group, my group was Marley, Hola and Paige. Our movies had to be about New Zealand history. We chose protesting, our protest was about women’s right to vote. It was pretty hard but we really liked the idea and so did the teachers. We first had to make our script which, when we thought was finished, it was really small and it made no sense but we got help from the teachers, then it was perfect! After we did our props and practiced our script which did not take long at all. The next day we got our costumes and got to filming. the first part was really hard because Hola and I kept mucking up our lines, but it was fine because we finally got them after like 12 tries. once we finished that stressful start we moved on to the part were me and marley started to come up with some reasons why women can vote. Marley found a reason which was really big but we managed to film it perfectly. That was all we did for that day. When we got to school the next day we fell into a pit because Mrs. Lindsay said that we had to redo the biggest lines me and marley had and it was painful but it also made our movie better. Once we finished that we had to pack up for home time again. What I found easy about this was probably writing the script and getting the props. If I had to do this differently I would be working harder because we were so close to not finishing our movie. What I enjoyed about this was seeing the results of our movie. I was glad that we finished this project.
Have You Ever Made a Movie About Protesting?

Heaps O Sport
A few days ago we did P.E. We started off with a game where there are four taggers. It is like line tag but there are only two taggers tagging at a time and when one of the taggers tags someone they would go off and another tagger would go on. We played a few games of that and then we played a game of survivor tag. Survivor tag is when everyone is in and if you get tagged you sit down. The only way you can stand back up and play is when the person who tagged you gets tagged. Then we played Korfball. Korfball is a bit like Netball. You can’t dribble with the ball. You can’t shoot if someone has put their hand up over you so you have to pass it.
I think it was really fun especially the game where there are four taggers.
Have you ever played korfball and if you have did you like it?
PE with Seaweed
My class, every Tuesday and Wednesday, we went out for PE with Mr Butler. Mostly at the start we would play a game called Seaweed. There are two taggers. We start at the yellow line at the end of the court and Mr Butler shouts SEAWEED! And we run across to the other end hoping not to get caught. If you get tagged then you would stay in the spot that you were in and try to reach and tag someone, like seaweed. Some of the boys and girls (Including me, sometimes) cheat, like don’t say that they got tagged or go behind the bike sheds, also going before Mr Butler says SEAWEED! (I’m a part of the last one)
Do you think we should be doing PE is a subject or a playing time?
Maths- But The Old Fashioned Way
Ever felt like you were going to die of agony? I have. Last week we had Old Fashioned Maths last week. It wasn’t the funnest. I frankly didn’t like it. We had to do hard questions. We couldn’t search up the answer and I think that most people didn’t care and still searched them up anyways. I’m afraid all my thoughts have left my head so I will leave you with one question
Do you think we should be doing Old Maths at school?
My Fantastic Movie
My Fantastic Movie
In week 3 Te Ngahere started making movies for the movie festival. before we started making movies we had to get into a group of 4 or 6 people and write a script about our place. In my group was Manaaki, Ngauira, Jm, Taku, Piripi and Aisake what my group found challenging was deciding what the movie was about after loads of ideas whaea Ronnie helped us decide an idea for our movie. What I found was easy was when Whaea Ronnie helped us decide what the movie was then writing the script was easy. If I was to do this again what I would do is be in a group that wouldn’t muck around.
Have you ever done movie making?
simles poetry
this week we did poetry we did a smile poem I did the curler red Here is a photo it says
Red
As red as the blood moon
As red as the hot sun
As red as the poppy fields
As red as the dark red ruby
As red as a hedgehogs eyes
As red as the fire’s flame’s
Similes Poetry
Today at school I did some similes poetry about a colour that I picked. The colour that I choose was red. A simile is a sentence that describes something with like or as. This is what I wrote.
Red like a gentle poppie
Red like a bright ruby
Red like a juicy tomato
Red like flowing blood
Red like a pumping heart
Did you like my poem?, Would you write one?
Fun day Thursday
Lots of changes today but Nevaeh coped well, firstly there was a surprise to see Olivia today. After our roll and Go-Noodle in class there was some counting and then we went off to do our dancing. Mrs Hickford’s moves are not as good as Jackie’s, sheneeds to break out her dancing shoes.
After a quick sensory break we were off to music with Marilyn. Olivia got to take Nevaeh today. Nevaeh loves her session which included playing with her left and right hand together. WIth her right hand, fingers one and two, Nevaeh played some notes with Marilyn. Twinkle Twinkle featured as always, Kangaroo Kangaroo, Old Mac Donald and Wake up Charlie. We then introduced Hello Finger One and Hello Finger Two. Row Row featured along with Are You Sleeping. Nevaeh’s left hand played Ding, ding, dong. We finished up with COloours of Sunshine.
Then it was offto RDA in a blue car… well that was a change. Nevaeh climbed in and out without assistance, great stuff Nevaeh! It is easier when the car is a bit lower. The new belt worked a treat allowing Nevaeh to concentrate. She held on to the front of the saddle for short lengths of time. Good girl.. I feel much happier knowing you are hanging on! Nevaeh showed a lot of interest in her right hand today, holding it up. She was wiggling her fingers independently in the sunshine. She also showed interest in a blue star that we gave her to distract her from hitting out. 
Beast of the Past
At the beginning of the age of dinosaurs (during the Triassic Period, about 230 million years ago), the continents were arranged together as a single supercontinent called Pangea. During the 165 million years of dinosaur existence this supercontinent slowly broke apart.
Most of the dinosaurs we have found lived along ancient rivers or streams. They roamed across the adjacent forested floodplains and densely vegetated swamps and lakes. Some discoveries have also shown that dinosaurs inhabited ancient deserts strewn with fields of sand dunes.
Dinosaurs are extinct and there have been no trace of them coming back to life. They have been extinct but we tend to find fossils of dinosaurs around the world.
The first dinosaur fossils were recognized in the early 19th century, with the name “dinosaur” (meaning “terrible lizard”) being coined by Sir Richard Owen in 1842 to refer to these “great fossil lizards”.
They were discovered in the mid-1600s, when a fossil bone was acquired by Dr Robert Plot. He was the first keeper of Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum. He noted that it looked almost exactly like the lower part of a human femur.
They lived for over 140 million years during the Mesozoic era, a period of time which extended from approximately 225 million to 65 million years ago.
Nga Puriro- showing Possession
Today I did a possesson using the “A” and “O” catergory. After I did that I put in some pictures that match the kupapa then I had to a paper thing about Possesson. first I got 25/28 for the translation we then had to catergorise things into “A” and “O” catergorys the reason why i got 22/23 is because I thought that it was correct it was skate boured becasue it was surpost to be in transport. here’s a picture.
