Technology

Today we had technology we did not cook anything today because Mrs Tuipulotu was away.Instead we had a kind teacher named Mrs Heka she taught us about the equipment she uses in her own cooking class and told us a little bit about herself and what she does here at Tamaki Collage.We learnt about safety hazards in this picture the safety hazards I found were.A lady wearing slippers,Pets inside the kitchen,electric cord going across the kitchen when water is on the ground and the fridge was open.The Reasons choices I found were,Rubbish,dishes,meat left out, and open cans.This was the photo we had to identify the wrong things in there.We also did a word find and I got about 55% of it done the challenging thing about today was the word find and the best thing about today was meeting a new teacher.

Te tuhi

WALT:understand the meaning of turangawaewae and relate to it through art.
Today was a cool session we made art about turangawaewae and how it affects our
culture.The hard thing about today was staying in between the  lines when painting the ink.The thing I enjoyed was cutting out the art because me and my friend had a challenge.

Turangawaewae

Today we learnt about Turanganawaewae that means a place to stand.What I found interesting about this task was putting the missing words into place.A place that I will call safe is school because all my friends are kind to me and help me around when im sad this is were my place to stand is.

John Pule(Niuean Artist)

KiaOra today I researched about John Pule who is a Niuean artist.What I like about him is that he likes dose art about his culture and tells stories about his life and journey.The picture on the bottom right corner he shows how he traveled from niue to New Zealand.We will be making our own tapa cloths inspired by cultural artist.

Red nose day (cure kids fundraiser)

Today we came to school in red because today was red nose day for our school.We had to bring a golden coin donation to help support cure kids if you don't know what cure kids is you can go to this website https://curekids.org.nz/] what I learnt about cure kids was that they help kids with illness and it is also a charity.This morning I wondered why are we giving a gold coin donation well I found out that it was not directly given to the children it goes to like scientist so they can research more about these illnesses so maybe in the future they could find a cure or a way to stop it from happen so hopefully the population of people that are sick will drop

.Also after morning tea a guy named coach Alan that worked for kelly sports he planed games for us to play they were Rob the nest,Noodle hockey,capture the flag this other game you had to be in 2 teams and through the ball to your teammates to get people out from the other team but you are not allowed to move if you have the ball you have to reach out and tag them and if you do get tagged you have to be in the other team and the last man standing wins.It was fun and it also was challenging what I found hard was whacking the ball with the noodle and what I found easy was defending my nest when we were playing rob the nest.
-Cure kids is..A charity and health research..That means..They help support people with sickness and fundraise money for them so they can be cured.
-An example of ways they support children's health is..You can give a gold coin donation.
-Today I participated by...playing the games and I was using teamwork and good strategies when I was playing rob the nest I was being a good defender and helping my team out
-By support cure kids,I hope my impact is...Making the research be done, and also so they so they find more cures and people can be better.

Sugar rap

!!KIA ORA!! Lately this term we have been focusing on sugar and how it affects our body in a bad way.Recently we watch a sugar film called THAT SUGAR FILM it was about a man that went on a journey about sugar and how it rapidly affects his body and brain and changes his moods and finding out that stuff that people call healthy can also have sugar in it and how gains weight.This Week and last week we have been writing raps about sugar and the affects and how to stop diabetes it was a very fun task and me and my friend Curtys wrote it.I think the hard thing about writing this rap was thinking about the words that rhyme and go with the beat.Next time I write a rap I want to focus on making it longer and better,This rap will help you reflect on the bad decisions you made when you are eating To much sugar and how it will affect your future.A fact is that children these days that eat a lot of sugar are not going to live longer than there parents that's what scientist discovered.I really enjoyed listening to my other classmates do there raps,songs,and poems to I liked how they weren't scared and participated.To make our rap even better I thought of adding Maori words into it which my teacher loved.Here is the lyrics to sing along our one -
why you eating too much sugar (so much)? Making you get hypo it's not good for ya You're gonna weigh as much as pumbaa Go to the school hall and do some zumba na kia ai koutou hauora kia taea e koe te kaha whakaatu aroha ki tou tinana he kino ki te kai i te huka Buying all that junk food’s not the one You can exercise and go out for a run I grew up being healthy like my mum You won't want your teeth looking like the sun eating heaps of glucose makes you fit Heaps of fruits and veggies will be lit Sugar sugar sugar do it like this, Say bye to the junk food it is dismissed, Physical, Mental, Spiritual health, Making good decisions for me and yourself

Lego maths

Pokorua

Kia ora koutou,Ko toku mahi tenei.The Piwakawaka group read a book called Pokorua(Ant)
The book was in Maori and was based on a Ant looking for food and finding sugar.Here is a presentation about the words and the definitions and the sentences it came with.It was cool using my knowledge about maori words I already know and using them to find out the english version of the book.What I enjoyed was listening to the maori words and using them in my daily life.

Why we want sweet food?

WALT:Read these articles and answer the questions about sugar
Did you ever want to know why people eat to much sugar? or what effect does sugar have on our brain and body?well reading this article will tell you everything you need to know here is the thing.Thins term our school have been learning about the bad effects sugar can do to us and also learning about the cause and effects of eating sugar.Lately we watch a video called THAT SUGAR FILM it is about a man named Damon go on a sugar adventure and finding our that stuff the people call healthy can also have sugar in it and how gains weight.Sugar can lead to diabetes can have a big impact on you and your diet so eating vegetables and fruits will help you stay diabetes free.

Technology reflection.

WALT:Make our design for our clock
WHAT WE DID-Today we had to find a silhouette picture of anything for our clock what I choose was mickey mouse because I did It for my Nan because thats what she likes,We had to draw it on a draft paper then on to cardboard I cut it out and then put it onto another cardboard and traced it and cut it out so there could be 2.WHAT I ENJOYED TODAY WAS-Looking for the pictures because there was heaps to choose from and I found six that I drawed on my draft paper and I had to pick 1,And also making the most of my time was the best to do with my friends.WHAT I NEED TO IMPROVE ON NEXT TIME IS-Using different tools to help with my design,Having a growth mindset towards the pictures I choose,And also not tracing and using my drawing skills to help me out.

Samoan language week

What I like

Today for technology we were getting ready to make clocks and we had to make a DLO about what the person you're making it for likes and I am making the clock for me because I broke my clock at home on accident.So as you can see I like basketball,exercising,xbox,rugby,and sports.
