The ball digged the grass. The net cheered as the ball flew in the air. The ball screamed through the air. The ball stomped past the line. The net caught the ball. The ball hit the ground. By Alicia,Mya and Saimua

Significance of tattoos in different cultures

Maori Migration

Today Ms.Maude taught us how the Maori found New Zealand and how they would get their food. Many years ago a Maori man named Kupe traveled on his waka. During his traveling he discovered an island so he went back to his village to tell his men to make wakas in order for them to go to that island to live there. They used seven wakas to get to the island. The names were Aotea,Tainui,Te Arawa, Tokomoru,Kurahaupo,Takitimu and Mataatua. After they went to that island it became the north island which is part of Aotearoa. To get their food they rubbed their hands against a piece of flax and rubbed it until it formed a rope. They would then wrap it around a rock and when a bird came they would swing it and the rock would hit the bird killing it.

I think this book will appeal to my sister because she enjoys reading books that have a big problem but she enjoys reading the big solution that is provided in the story the most. She is also a fan of fiction books.

Apple Turnover

WALHT: Use measurement to make apple turnover.

Pastry
Apples

Estimate
Sultanas
Sugar

To make the apple turnover we first measured two pieces of apples estimated it of 2 grams then chopped them into fine pieces. We then took a piece of pastry and also measured it and it was 4 grams. After that we filled it with our apples,sultanas and sugar then folded it like a samosa, measuring it after we drizzled milker over the top. When I measured the pre-baked apple turnover, it measured 4 grams. When our teacher measured the post-baked  turnover it weighed 80g. Altogether it was 160g

Why I would want to be Suga - Writing T2W2

WALHT: Write an explanation

                                          If I could be someone I would be Suga

First of all I would like to be Suga from Bangtansonyeondan (BTS). He is from Daegu,South Korea. He has a very funny personality and he is very humble. Suga has many special talents such as singing and rapping. His members have made it to the 2017 nominees for the top social artist in the Billboard Music Awards. His goal for 2017 is to win the top social artist this year and I am very happy and proud that they have now made it to the nominees.

My favourite thing about Suga is his personality. From being appreciative of his fans to being a big help to his friends. He pays major respect towards the South Korean government and he tries his hardest to protect his music and his members. He shows appreciation multiple times to his friends and family and supports them throughout their journeys. He has a massive amount of confidence during his concerts and enjoys performing. His personality is what I look up to and the kind of attitude I want to have.

Suga is  multi skilled. Before his debut he used to play basketball and won plenty of games during his high school days. He is very skilled when it comes to decorating cakes and enjoys teaching his members how to get precise effects on cakes. He’s basically the dad of the group because he can fix anything like doorknobs and light bulbs. He studied at Global Cyber University.

Suga’s ambition was to try and reach the top of the Kpop idols charts with his members. He is very passionate about music, songwriting and record producing. He has major goals in his life just like me. I  definitely want to be as talented and appreciative as Suga.

Outcomes - Healthy options - Maths T2W2

WALHT: Work out the outcomes

When we went on our trip on Tuesday Aut provided a healthy lunch for the students. There was a variety of options. We used this information in a maths lesson and we had to work out the number of outcomes. After we added the meat we used the salad. When I counted the outcomes there were six. With the salads there were 24 outcomes. Overall I found this very easy and I would do this again

AUT Millennium centre - Kiri - Rock climbing

After we ran around the tracks with Kathy, we went with Kiri to try out rock climbing. We were first taught how to put the harness on and how to climb the wall safely. I first struggled to climb up the wall but with Kiri's help I made it more than half way up the wall! I was really scared to come off the wall but my friends helped me  I really enjoyed doing rock climbing and a big thank you to Nestle and Michelle for making this day possible  I would love to visit again.

Fun day at AUT Millennium centre - Kathy - Outdoor activity

Yesterday the year 7 and 8's visited the AUT Millennium centre for a fun day. A few girls and I went to play games relating to running. We all had alot of fun and we did relays and a hot lava game. I really enjoyed doing all these different activities. Thank you Kathy for teaching my friends and I how to play different games and how to run faster. We really enjoyed it!

Alicia Opinion:Sideswipe - NZ Herald Sideswipe

As seen, people are hiring people that can work without their cell phone or social media.

Nearly everybody has a phone these days and I will say that it is true that we all find it hard to stay off social media. My mum works for a very important company called NZ Blood. Because it is very important she is only allowed to use her cell phone when she is on her break. She doesn’t complain about it though. If I were to have a similar job when I grow up, I would find it hard for the first time because I wouldn’t be used to it. I do think that it is a good idea at the end of the day because it will keep you focused in your work so you can finish it in time. I think that I would give this work a try.

Evil Twin

WALHT: Use our creative skills to write an interesting narrative.

                            

                                               Evil Twin                                        

“Good morning and welcome back to term two at Glen Innes School,” greeted Mr.Montgomery.

“Now that I have marked everyone present, let’s go out for fitness!”

As I was walked like  a slug, I began to talk with my evil twin sister.

“You won’t do anything bad today alright?” I demanded strictly.

“Whatever!” said Felicia with her dark gothic eyes.

I turned around to remind Felicia we had to walk home after school but she suddenly disappeared. I searched around the school for her when I found her pointing a lighter to the wall.

“Don't move,” she immediately said

. I was worried and shocked. . My evil sister with her dracula teeth  was about to destroy Glen Innes School.

I persuaded Felicia to put down the lighter in the best way possible. I told her that she doesn’t have to do it but she took it like I was lying to her so she could go to jail. I told myself that I have no other choice but to snatch it off her but she aggressively pushed me to the ground giving me no chance of getting the lighter. I got up trying to think of something else but I couldn’t think of anything to save her or the school. As I was about to try and talk to her again, I felt my phone that is only used for emergencies in my back pocket. I turned around and texted Mr.Montgomery. I told him to come to the office asap!  She saw him and ran out of the fire exit.

“We have to go get her,” I said.

So while Mr.Montgomery went out of the corridor door, I went after my evil twin through the fire exit.

As I was running I had to stop for a breath. As I composed myself I heard suddenly loud footsteps coming from behind me. I turned around and there was Felicia.

“Please, Felicia  give me the lighter,” I said.

I told her that if she gave me the lighter then I would not mention it ever again.”

“Ok I will give you the lighter,” said Felicia.

When she handed me the lighter we headed back to the office. We sat down and started talking which made her feel happy internally.

“Thank you for giving the lighter Felicia,” I said kindly.

After that day we started to communicate more and I started to help her with her school work. I am very happy that my not so evil twin sister and I are know really good friends.

Walt: assign probabilities to simple events using fractions and percentages.

Today I was learning to assign probabilities to a game played with 2 10 sided dice. I played the game with my friend, Mya. We alternated rolling the dice. We rolled the dice 20 times and we recorded our score in the outcomes column. From the 20 attempts,only twice we managed to get multiples of 6. The probability as a simple fraction is 2/20 and as a percentage it is 10%. Since we worked on similar games this week I now have a better understanding of assigning probabilities. Next time I would like to learn how to find a prime number while assigning probabilities.
