Needs vs Wants

Today I am posting a DLO about what you need and what you want. Things that you need a more important then things that you want. For example a Device would be something you want instead of something you need.
I have made a DLO about what you need a what you want...
Here it is:...

My Adjustment

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog. Today I am publishing some thing to involve my reading. I am reading a book about a girl that has to adjust to something that she doesn't want to but in the end she is really happy that she is there. The story that my group is reading is How To Fall. Another thing that we had to do was make a paragraph about what was something we had to adjust to,

Here is my paragraph:...

Question:...

Write a paragraph about when you had to make a big adjustment, How did you feel? Why?

One time that I had to make a big adjustment was coming to Hornby High School. It was a big adjustment because I was at a new School and I new some people but I only new 2 or 3 people in my class, until I made more friends. I adjusted to school about 1 week after I started because I had friends to help me. One of the hardest thing I couldn’t adjust to was my new teacher because I didn’t know if she was going to be nice or if she was going to be mean. But the next two weeks I did start adjusting to that and my teacher is the best.

Roller Derby

Roller Derby is a sport that is played in mostly the Uninitiated States Of America. Roller Derby is a really ruff game to play. A game of roller derby can cause you to get lots of injury's. You can brake a bone in you body, you could even hurt yourself that but you might be able to play anything again. It dependent on what Grade you play in our how ruff you want to be.   

My Reading group had to read a story about a girl named Maia that had to move houses but she din't like moving until her Aunty (Emz) told her to come to training with her. 

My group had to make a DLO about roller Derby and how to play it.

Here is my DLO:...

Here is also a video on how to play:...

Maia New House

For reading my group (Blue Group) we have been reading this book about a girl that has to move houses and she doesn't like it but she finally finds something that she wants to do. We had Questions for the story that was about how Maia felt and if she found anything hard. 

Here are the 3 Questions:..

Question 1:
Maia is proud  of Aunty Emz. How do you know?
Maia is proud of Aunty Emz because Aunty Emz is one of the jammers that scores points as they go past the other people. 

Question 2:
How do you think Maia feels about moving?
I think that Maia feels really sad and depressed because in the story it says that "me and your dad get to chose what happens not you, so deal with it". But since her Aunty mad her join Roller Derby she likes where she lives know just doesn't want to admit to her mum that Maia is wrong about living there.

Question 3:
Does Maia find Roller Derby hard?
At the start she finds it hard when here Aunty comes over and takes her there. But when she got used to it she found that she liked it and she wanted to continue and then she got better at it and now it is easy for her.

I Am Grateful For:...

Today at CIP for the second activity we had to make a poster on our chrome books or device about what we are grateful for.

The main thing was about Gratitude. We could either do it on a Piktochart or a Google Drawing. I decided to do a Google Drawing. The meaning of Gratitude is the quality of being thankful and to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Early on we did a blog post about a story that was about Gratitude.

Here is my poster:...

Revolution Tour!!!

Kia Ora, and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be talking to you about The Revolution Tour that came to school on Tuesday. In The Revolution Tour there was a group of people, one group was a dancing group that danced, another group was a singing group, there was also a group that talked to us about not being a bully because of who people are and just be your self.

Question 1: What was the best thing/s about the Tour?
One part of the tour that I really liked was when Reggie played the saxophone to songs that we had to try guess what they were. My other favourite part of the tour was when we played the games with the whole group. One of the games were Throw Your Friend Under The Bus and another one was when we had to guess the song he did with the saxophone.

Question 2: What did I learn from the talk?
From the talk I learn't that you shouldn't judge people about what they look like or where they come from you should just except people for who they are and don't bully them because they are different to you. When he talked to us about that inside I felt like he is right you shouldn't judge people for who the are.

My 9 Storied Paragraph😀😀😀!

Kia Ora, and welcome back to my blog. Today in class my class had to write down a 6 sentence story about a piece of music that we had to hear and write about. The piece of music sounded like it sounded like it came from a fairy tale, but it actually came from a Christmas Album. 
Here is my 9 sentence story.


It was a bright and sunny day. I decided to take a stroll through the woods and visit my friends. As I walked through the woods I hear the lovely tweeting of the birds in the trees. There tweeting voices makes me feel happy and quite good inside. I keep strolling through the woods and out from a bush came a deer. In that moment I felt nervous because I didn’t know if the deer was going to hurt me or if it was nice. So I walk up closer to the deer so that it know that I am not scared of it and it shouldn’t be scared of me. Once it earned my trust I take the deer with me on my stroll to become best friends. 
THE END.

Here is the song of the music piece.

I only did a 9 sentence story because I had to much detail. 
Please don't forget to leave a comment and if you do make it a Thoughtful, Positive & Helpful comment.

Stitches!

For reading this term we have been looking at is woman rights in voting and in war.
One of the stories that we have read and are talking about is Stitches. Stitches is about a girl that like to sew, there is some more information in the questions and answer below.


Question 1: What was the story about?
I think that the story is about a family of 7 that like to make clothing and likes to sew. I also think that it is a story about a girl named that also likes to sew. I know this because she gets a sewing machine
from her dad. I also know that May like to make dresses in her room. She can make a whole lot of them, that is probably why her dad bought her a new sewing machine. 

Question 2: May is 13, how is her life different compared to yours?
Her life is different compared to mine because she is 13 and I am 11 and she has much more opportunity other than me. Also she sews clothes for her family mostly dresses and I dont know how to sew. Also because she made a big scarifies for dropping out of school to work with her mum.

Question 3: What sacrifices do you think she made in the story? Why did she make those?
One of the scarifies that she made is leaving school to be with her mum. Her mum was very happy to hear that her daughter was coming to help her sew clothes. I think that that the only sacrifice that she made.

Ki O Rahi!

This term for PE were are learning how to play Ki O Rahi.
For this term PE is called working together as one. My whole class
had to make a presentation for how to play Ki O Rahi.

How to play Ki-O-Rahi:

Ki O Rahi Vocabulary 

Step 1: The first thing you need to do in a game of Ki-O-Rahi
you have to make 2 teams of 7 .

Step 2: Make the playing field for the game. In the playing field
you will need:

*Check vocabulary for the meaning of these words

1. Tupu
2. 7 Pou
3. Ki

Step 3: At the start of a game you have to throw the ball in the
air and both players have to try and hit it.

Step 4: At half time both teams swap there positions from
*Taniwha to *Kioma And *Kioma to *Taniwha.

Helpful tips:

Every time Kioma hits the *pou that is a point but to gain those
points you need to touch down.

When Taniwha has the ball the need to have 4 people in the
zone to be able to shot. You are able to have as many turns as
you want.

The winning team is the one with the most points.

Question Cards!

Question:
What are the greatest inventions of all time? Why?

1. Shower🚿🚿🚿
I think one of the greatest invention is a shower because you can clean yourself in the shower if you have finished sports or something messy.

2. Cell Phone📳📳📳
I think that a cell phone is important because you can communicate with people to know where they are or if your far away you cant contact them.

3. Cutlery 🔪🔪🔪
I think that cutlery is important to have in the world because if we didn't we wouldn't have anything to cut with or we would have to eat with our fingers.

4. Clothing 👕👖👗👢
I think that is is really important to have clothes other wise we would be naked and we would get cold at night.

5. Houses 🏠🏠🏠
I think houses are important because you live in them and they keep you warm and safe at home.


That is all I have time to write down please remember to leave a comment and if you have any questions for me i will answer them, BYE!
