Boden Boy in stripped pajamas

Hello my name is Boden when have been reading boy in stripped pajamas and recently we have been talking about the theams in the book the first and in my opinion the mane theam relaships. The changing relahinships in the story are the most complex and interesting part of the story.For exsampel the relashship between Bruno and Gretel and the start of the story they Hated each other but because of the sherrd lonleyness the began to tolerate each other .Bruno and his Father had a very strand relshinship because Fathers work took most of his time up or he was in his room were Bruno was not eloud to enter but over the story it did not get any beater and Bruno when they first moved to out-with he blamed father and his job for them having to leave Burlin. Another theam in the book is Bruno’s inasints becuse of Bruno’s inasints he became friends with Shmuel on of the majer plot points and made the story fare beater. Bruno’s inasints and large amont of relashinsips were explored and because of his inasints and lack of knolig he went over to the other side and was killed. In my opinion the hardest part about this was finding all the theams in the book.

BISP – Relationships

Kia ora, today I will be discussing a big theme in the book, ‘Boy In Striped Pyjamas’, relationships.

 

Why it a big theme?

Relationships were a very major theme in BISP for many reasons. It was the focus on the story for Bruno to change his relationships in many different and unique ways, some improving, and some worsening. The biggest relationship in the story was between Bruno and Shmuel; their relationship and character development was huge in the story.

Another pretty big relationship change was with Bruno and Gretel. At the start of the story, Bruno clearly pointed out how much he hated Gretel and that she was a hopeless case. But towards the end of the story, they started becoming closer, not really close, but to the point that they could tolerate talking to each other. The saddest part about this is that when Bruno went missing, Gretel realised how much she actually liked Bruno and missed having him around.

Some odd relationships were with Mother and Gretel’s relationship to Lieutenant Kotler. It was VERY clear that Gretel had a crush on Kotler despite the age gap. This can be said with Mother too. Mother clearly had something going on with Kotler, possibly an affair, although both relationships weren’t pointed out, there’s still a bit of clues.

 

Conclusion

When we first started reading the story, I didn’t enjoy it much because it was a bit confusing and we were given very little information. Then when the story progressed and we got a bit more information, I actually started enjoying reading The Boy In Striped Pyjamas and looked forward to it. Overall I think the writing was very interesting and loved how the author incorporated Bruno’s innocence so well, and look forward to watching the movie tomorrow!

My Chosen Career 👍

In social studies we have been learning about our future career.   We used the Tahutu Career website to search for the career we chose.  I chose  security guard, farmer assistants, and mining engineer.  I chose. And I chose those careers because as a mining engineer I like working with technology, solving problems, and being part of important projects. I chose Farmer Assistant because I enjoy working outdoors, being close to nature, and helping with practical work that supports food production. I chose the Security Guard because I like the idea of helping keep people and places safe, staying alert, and being responsible. And we made a budget and learned that income is money coming in such as your pay and expenditure is money going out such as bills.     After we all chose our career we presented them to the teacher and the class. and now we are learning about entrepreneurs.

Potential Careers

In social studies, our current unit is focusing on our future and our career choices. We had to find out what careers suited us most and my top 3 were architect, tattoo artist, and florist. I chose to focus my studies on tattoo artist because it’s something I’d enjoy, and I’d get decent money (50k-79k a year). Your pay depends on whether you work at a parlour or run your own business. There is no specific secondary education to do this and it’s mainly designing, handling tools, and follow health and safety rules. This unit also included budgeting and presenting our career to our class.

Our Careers

This term we have been looking into our future and what Careers we would like to do. We had to decide on what career we wanted to do, and we used the Tahutu website to find out about it. I chose a Marine Biology because I love science and the ocean and I think that I would be a perfect fit. We made a budget on what we would get paid and we learnt how to divvy it out into monthly costs. Then we made a presentation to show the class.

improper and mixed numbers fractions

we have been learning about improper and mixed number fractions.

I know how to complete proper fraction amounts. I’m also confident in working with improper fractions and mixed number fractions amounts. I agree with this statement because I’m very good at doing improper fractions and mixed fractions and its easy to do because  all it is changing the number. The improper fractions are easy because if its 5 over 2 there two 2 in 5 so it would be 2 and 1/5 because there’s two groups of 2 so that makes it 2. But mixed fractions are hard some times but most of the times its easy and the best thing about the improper is there easy because you just need to change some numbers and its most the time just taking some numbers away from the top number and take the groups of the amount of the groups if the numbers 5 and it says 5/2 it would be take 2 twos because the bottom number is two and its very easy.

Improper and mixed Number fractions.

Hello bloggers! Today I will be writing a statement on how I know how to complete proper fraction amounts and how I’m confident in working with improper fractions and mixed number fractions amounts.

 

Im and pretty confident with improper Fractions as it had gotten easier to do after the last week. I’ve also gotten confident on how to make improper Fractions into proper Fractions, its pretty easy because all you need to do is say you have a fraction that is 7/3 and you need to make it into a proper fraction, you just see how many times three goes into seven and that’s how many wholes you have, with the left over you make it into a fraction so the equation would equal 3 wholes and 1/2. Learning different fractions are fun in my opinion. There are heaps of different ways to plus, multiply, divide and subtract fractions, after learning about how to deal with improper fractions I’ve seen them differently! I used to think improper fractions were hard and that I couldn’t do them until I actually go taught how to do equations with them its gotten easy!

Improper & Proper Fractions.

Yesterday we were learning about proper and improper fractions. If the numerator is a higher number than the denominator then you have a whole. for example: 4/4 = 1

7/2 is an improper fraction but if you make it into a whole. it is, 3 1/2

1 is a whole if you look at fraction strips and if you see that 1/2 its one half but if you have 2/2 that is a whole. if you have 4/4 you can do  1/1   1/1    1/1    1/1   which equals a whole so 4/4 is an improper fraction but you can make it proper if you make it one whole.

Again, if you have 7/2 its not one whole its three wholes because if you do 2/2 it would still be improper, making it 5/2 , but you would have 1 whole. if you take away two again 2/2 it makes 3/2 which is still improper but you would have another whole so now you have 2 wholes. So if you take away 2 from 3 again it would make 1/2 which is proper. so that makes 3 wholes which equals 3 1/2

Creative Writing Term 2 Week 6

Ding went the oven, “Ohh my chocolate cakes are ready” sang grandma Aisling 

 

“Huh what’s that smell?”  questioned Betty, skipping in the forest. Betty decided to follow the smell. 

 

She tipped toed out of the forest and into the vege patch.

Then into the flower garden. 

 

Then finally she smelt the most delicious smelling thing she has ever smelt in her whole life. Betty looked around trying to find the smell, but then when she looked back she saw a rainbow castle full of lollies and cake. “WOW!”  exclaimed Betty 

 

“Huh what was that noise?”  Questioned Grandma Ailsing. 

 

“I think I will go in and check it out,”  Betty whispered to herself. Betty walked to the doorway and knocked on the door, “Hello is anyone there?”  Betty shouted 

 

“Huh who’s there, no one has ever stepped foot here in five years”  Grandma Aisling said scarcely. As Aisling tipped toed to the door wondering who was there. 

When she got to the door she looked through the peep hole and saw a little girl with fiery orange hair. When Grandma Aisling opened the door she asked “ What is the need for you to be here?”  

 

“ Ummm I just smelt a really yummy smell and decided to follow it, and it led me here”  Betty replied.

 

“Ohhh yes, those are my chocolate cakes, would you like to try some?”  Offered Grandma Aisling. 

 

“Umm I really shouldn’t”  Denied Betty.

 

“Ohhh come on don’t worry I’m not going to kidnap you, if that’s what you’re worried about?”  Said Grandma Aisling.

 

“ Well okay then”  Agreed Betty. As Betty walked into the house she saw candies, icing, muffins, and cakes. “Wow you have a great house” exclaimed Betty.

 

“Well thank you”  Thanked Grandma Aisling

 

“Here are the cakes, take whatever one you want”  Said Grandma Aisling. 

 

“OMG thank you so much!” Shouted Betty. As Betty took one of her favourite cakes she smiled at Grandma Aisling and said “Goodbye thank you so much, I hope you have an amazing day”  Betty said nicely. 

 

“Goodbye,”  replied Grandma Aisling. Betty trotted of back to her house happy like a butterfly.

Improper and mixed Number fractoins

 Kia ora today I am going to be telling you some information I learnt from maths. Fractions are just numbers that show parts of something. There are two main types called proper fractions and improper fractions. A proper fraction is when the top number is smaller than the bottom number, like 1/2 or 3/4. This means you have less than one whole thing. For example, if you eat 2 slices from a pizza cut into 8 slices, you ate 2/8 of the pizza. An improper fraction is when the top number is bigger than or equal to the bottom number, like 5/4 or 6/6. This means you have one whole or even more than one whole. Fractions may look confusing at first, but they are actually used in everyday life, such as sharing food, measuring ingredients, or telling time. Learning proper and improper fractions helps make math easier and more useful in real life.

Maths and fraction learning

Recently we have been learning about fractions, including how to simplify them and divide them. At first it was hard, but now it is getting easier. Today we played a fractions game. There were four games, but I only played one with my group. We had to make our own fraction dice. One example was 7 over 2 that is and improper fraction so that= 3 and 1 over 2 Sometimes fractions can still be hard, but I think I am getting better at them, and it has been fun learning about them. I am happy to be learning fractions because maybe one day they will help me in the future and help me get a good job. I am also happy to have a great teacher who wants to help me succeed. I already know how to complete proper fractions, and now I feel more confident working with improper fractions too. Learning fractions is helping me understand how maths works. My teacher always says, “Fractions are your friend,” and I am starting to think that is true because they are not as hard anymore. Maybe all maths can become my friend too.

Emotion blog (By Avinit )

Yo Hello Everyone!

Did you know there are a lot of emotions you have and each of those emotions are all about how you act?

Something I learned in Health is about emotions, and that being happy, sad and angry aren’t the only main emotions there are.  There are more like anxiety, tiredness, and boredom. They all basically control how you act and  control the decisions you make. Emotions are important because you have to empress your different emotions in different situations.  I use confidence so I can stay calm and not overdoing my work.

It was not that difficult but it was still kind of hard getting the meaning of each different emotions. Some of them I could understand the meaning and some of the emotions were quite difficult to understand.

Emotions/Health

In health we have been learning about emotions. We have watched the movie inside out to see the different emotions that is experienced. something I have learnt is that many people experience many different emotions without knowing. It is important to maintain  all your emotions because sometimes your emotions can take over your body and mind and forces you to do something bad or unnecessary. We watched the movie inside out 2 and saw how Riley’s emotions took over her. something a little difficult about health is keeping your emotions. Building up your emotions can cause them to burst and then you don’t know what to do.

blog about health

My blog is about what I have learned about the movie inside out 2.

I have learned that people will do anything to reach what they want. they break anything to get what they want. And end up regretting it after but in the movie. Riley betrayed her friends just to have new other friends that are cooler. But when Riley realized that she did something bad. Anxiety the emotion only think of the negative things that she thinks will happen, she was the only one controlling Riley’s emotion. When the emotion joy wasn’t there. But in the movie her real friends came to her and ask if shes okay Riley told everything she had felt and her friends forgave her. But in reality when you do one wrong move it can sometimes be not forgiven.

Emotions (health)

Hello everyone,

For the past 2 weeks in health we have been learning about emotions, we have watched Inside out 2 the main characters are anxiety, joy, anger, and sadness and Riley, we also learned how Riley (the main character) expresses her feelings in difficult situations. We also had to answer questions about our emotions in our book. I think emotions are important so you can express them to other people when your feeling sad happy or angry. Something interesting i did was learn what the emotions were while watching inside out 2. After watching inside out 2 i have learned to express my feelings more to others instead of keeping to myself. Learning about the emotions has made me think differently and i have learned to think in other peoples perspectives to understand why they are feeling that way. Learning about the emotions was really easy for me since i have already known about them but diving deeper into what emotions mean were fun for me.

Developing Emotions – Health

Greetings everybody

This whole term, we have been learning about emotions, how they take over us, and how to reduce the intensity of our emotions.

One thing I learned is that anxiety can hurt and help people, as you shouldn’t be too anxious to the point where you sacrifice things you need, but you need a bit to be a bit anxious, so your prepared for the future.

One thing I did is watch Inside Out 2 and took notes, which later helped me with my understanding of emotions.

I loved learning about this topic, but I feel like if we continued more, I would have a clear image about it.

Inside Out 2 shows us that growing up, you will realise that Joy isn't the only important emotion. All our emotions are meant to be felt even the ones that may feel

Health ToM – Inside Out 2 reflection – Ian

Inside Out 2 reflection

Title: Inside Out 2

Characters: Riley (human), Joy (happy emotion), Sadness (Sad emotion), Disgust (disgust emotion), Fear (fear emotion), Anger (angry emotion), Envy (jealous emotion), Embarrassment (embarrassed emotion), Ennui (bored emotion), and Anxiety (anxious emotion).

Plot: A 13 year-old Riley goes through puberty and new emotions: Anxiety, Embarrassment, Envy, and Ennui come to HQ, as she gets accepted to a hockey cam. But she finds out her friends Bree and Grace are going to different schools. Anxiety takes over forcibly exiling Joy and the original emotions while trying to reshape Riley’s identity.

Positives: Getting invited to hockey camp, sleeping, positive thoughts, reflecting, and reconnecting with her original friends.

Negatives: Riley jumps the gun, spilling the tea, choosing between her new and old friends, being someone who she isn’t, hurting her old friends emotionally and physically ( She hurts Grace by body slamming on her and hurts her).

What have I learned from this?

I have learned to accept myself including finding new ways to control my emotions and change is necessary for my body.

What emotion relates to you?

An emotion that definitely relates to me is anxiety because when I went through puberty I was always worried, and because of that I learned new techniques that help me have control over my emotions and look after myself.

Emotions , ToM Health l Inside out two

Last week, for health the whole class got to watch a movie called Inside out two. It was about a girl called Riley and in her mind there were these emotions that were controlling her mind and characters inside her that were related to emotions like Angry, sad, happy and feared. Their names were Joy, Anger, Sad, Fear and Disgust.

We had to find some facts about it and write in our health book.

When we get angry it will cause some bad effects to us and its not very good emotion because you could hurt someone else. With being Joyful like happy it makes you feel good and it also makes you gain confidence and makes your emotions stress free and depression free.

If I had to choose an emotion I would choose Happy because it makes me feel better and don’t have stress about anything. What makes me happy is that I get to play tag with my friends or spend time with family at home.
