Maori Word Meanings

Kia Ora,
Welcome back to my blog :)
This week we have been researching some words in Te Reo Maori. We were told to find out the meaning of the Maori words that are on my slideshow.
In this slide, I tried my best finding out the meaning of the words on a Maori Dictionary because google translate is you know.. sometimes a lie. So the words are down below:)

Comment your feed back and if I had anything wrong:)
Stay Safe :)


                       

Anzac Mascots

Kia Ora,
In Week 8, my class has been learning about Anzac Mascots like animals. We read out an article about the Anzac Mascots and I chose one Animal Mascot from the war.

What I learnt was about the animals that were included in the war. Like Donkeys, Horses, dogs etc.
The donkey and horse were to carry heavy stuff on their back like buckets of water. Dogs were to find wounded soldiers. Just like Caesar.

I have my information about the Anzac mascots down in the slide and about a dog named Caesar.
I have not finished my work which means i'll be adding more just to make it more interesting. All the things you will need to see is down:)

What something that you learnt about Caesar??


                    

Number Unknown | Maths DLO

Kia ora,
for the past few weeks my math group has been learning how to jump into a tidy number on a number line. We learnt it all in math's time and once we understood we made a dlo of how to do it and our strategies. This is what I made please try it out and comment on how well I did!!

                   
This was pretty frustrating and very stressful :)
I hope you understand my way of how I did it <3
Please try out my questions and tell me how you do. Don't peek on the next slide, thanks :)

Maximilian Kolbe!!

Kia Ora!!
Wanna learn about Maximilian Kolbe?

Last week my class read a story about Maximilian Kolbe and Francis Douglas. We all had to choose out of them both. So I chose Maximilian Kolbe. We made a DLO about them and told what they are and who they are.
This is my work



Please answer the questions :)

Anzac writng

Kia Ora, In week 5, Room 6 worked on descriptive writing. So our teacher read out a book named 'the Anzac violin' the book was illustrated by Robyn Belton. The book is about a soldier and his violin. The soldier was a part of the war and he loved playing his violin. One day he had to leave his violin and left a note to take care of his violin. He was sent back home because he was shot. But one day his violin was sent back to him.

 So our class had to make a column with describing words about the war in gallipoli. Then we made a paragraph with the words we put in the column. In the columns there were See, Hear, Location, Movement and Temperature.

This is my paragraph that I wrote with my own words.

 As I lay on the Sandy ground, the goriest noise hits me. The noise of flesh gushing and bones cracking. These noises won’t ever abandon me. I silently crawl to find safety but I see too many guns and bombs. The wind is so strong, it’s pushing me away. With a Mild temperature, I stay cool. Too much blood was a lot to see as it was staining our clothes. Like the end of the world is near to come.

 That is my paragraph. The words I used was Guns, Bombs, Blood stains, Flesh gushing, Bones cracking, Silent crawling, cool and mild. I used some of the words from the dictionary but also I thought of them.

 That comes to the end of my writing:)

 What did I enjoy: I enjoyed thinking about the descriptive words and also the book.

 What I found hard: I also found that the words were hard to think about.

 Which part of my diary is about: My diary was about Alexander getting shot or me getting shot in my head

2020 Technology | Year 7 & 8

Technology

Friday, February 14 2020

This is the first time to go to tech in 2020

Every Friday we go to Hornby Highschool to do tech.

Since it is my second year going to tech, I am quite use to doing the things there.

First, We went to Hornby Highschool on bus and get dropped off at the entrance.

We waited inside for our teacher. When our teacher came we were told to go in the class quietly.

The first thing we did was science.
This year, the year 7 and 8 are grouped together and there is 24 of us.

At science we experimented a little pins and needle. We were in a circle and had to hold hands to feel the electrocution.

It felt quite weird and fun.

So then we tried doing it ourselves and there was more shock since it was like little pinches.

The little box was a magneto. I'm not sure what it really is but it is like a little electrocute.

Then we sadly moved on to design tech. 

The teacher was named Mr Rees and he was from the UK.

I think that design tech is very hard and real hard work.

We got the instruction and just made a little keychain. Mine snapped :( I made a whale but since the tail was kind of too thin it snapped.

My friend Jorja made a random key chain with a wavy top. 

We did all the things we were suppose to do.
Cut, File, Drill and Ingrave. We didn't need to bend ours but that was bending ours was an option.

The tech ended with good end.

It was kind of a struggle but I'm proud with the work I do.

What I enjoyed: I enjoyed science because it was really fun and a great experiment to do

What I found hard: Cutting acrylic and the design tech

What I'd do differently: Different shape or more decoration on it

Market Day!

Kia Ora!
On Friday December 6, St Bernadette's had a Market day! We had so much fun selling and buying things. There was so much things to do. So let's talk about me and my groups stall.

My group did this Pie face game which was about a person getting pie faced. We were really excited until it came. No one really came to our stall and we were sad but we still had fun! Our Principle got pie faced apparently because most Principles do it. But the sad thing was :( he started bleeding which people might say sad or rude.
We had so much fun slapping and eating some leftovers on our faces!

This is one of the photos since we didn't have any photos of our stall
Sorry if you wanted to see our one. We didn't have anyone to take photos since our teacher was helping the people with the waffle making :) :D

I hope you like my post :D
