SSR Selfie | Kaitiakitanga

I read a non-fiction book called Kaitiakitanga the Life of Aotearoa page by Matt Boucher.

First, I looked for the page I needed to read which was page 25-26. The main topic was Life of Aotearoa.

1. When the first Maori glazed into Aotearoa’s forest filled land, they couldn’t have predicted what lay beyond the trees.

2. Imagine walking through a dense forest. Tall trees keep you in shade while green ferns uncurl around you.

3. Aotearoa New Zealand has one of the highest population endemic species of any country in the world.

I enjoyed reading this book because I learnt the a (very) brief history of Aotearoa

Writers Passport Presentation

I created a presentation about Sentence Endings, and Sentence Types.

First, I read the Sentence Endings page. Sentence Endings are symbols called punctuation that are put at the end of sentences or in the middle of sentences. For example: Commas are used within sentences.

Next, I read the Sentence Types page. There are three different topics of sentence types. Simple, Compound, and Complex. Simple Sentences are about one piece of information. Compound Sentences are two or more simple sentences. Complex Sentences have two or more ideas.

I enjoyed this activity because I learnt different things about both of these topics.  

Maths | Parts and Leftovers and What do they know

I completed a 2 maths topics about Parts and Leftovers and What do they know.

First, I did parts and leftovers. The question was about two boys thinking of a problem. There are three slices of a pizza left. Each slice is not equal. Altogether they add up to 1  1/2 pizzas. What fraction may each piece be? Robbie says there could be between 5 and 10 and James disagrees and says there are mutliple solutions.

Next, I did what do they know. The question was about Marie's large family spent $392 on groceries for the past two weeks. The supermarket docket shows that $176 was spent this week. What was last week's grocery bill? Each family showed how they can figure out the grocery bill. Two weeks later the cost of the groceries were simallar. $213 was spent in the first week and 389 in both weeks.

I enjoyed this activty because this helps me improve with my maths skills and what I can and what I can't do.

Homework Book Year 6 | Unit 3 Our Cultural Festival

I completed unit 3 of Homework Book Year 6.

First, I answerd some questions. Why do you think that there are now more cultures included in a New Zealand school's cultural festival? Do you think this diversity adds value to New Zealand society? What do you think the cultures represented in the programme might have in common with each other? 

Next, I did word power. I had to underline the right onomatopoeia. For example: Bang! The car door slammed shut.

Then, I did a couple of other tasks and moved on to something more activity. I had to figure out the scrambled word and match it with the definition. For example: elami - Sends messages electronicly/ EMail

I enjoyed doing this acitivty because this helps me understand everything about our cultural festival.

Anywords | Hector vs Mum

I versed my Mum into a game of anywords and she didn’t understand how the game worked. We both tied up and then she gave up so I won!

Fact Find

I did a fact find about the CEO of Tesla and CEO/Lead desgner of SpaceX.

First, I did an introduction about Elon Musk. I introduced his name, who he is, and where he lives and added a creative common image of Elon Musk.

Next, I put down 5 different facts. I started each fact with a Did you know... and wrote down the fact on a website I found.

Then, I attributed the the image I found on google by putting the image link, who is the author, and the usage rights based on that image.

Lastly, I put down the information sources which was the facts about Elon Musk Website.

I enjoyed doing this activity because it helped me understand who Elon Musk is and what he does for a living,
