Inferencing Slides

 Hello readers!

For 2 days we have started and finished 3 slides about inferencing. If you dont know what inference is. Inferencing is basically trying to figure out what an item or a book is about. By looking at the clues from in the text or a little bit from a text. I love inferencing about everything because it is a fun thing to do. So this activity was so fun for me to do. There were some things that either did not make sense to me. Or it was just a little harder than some others. But overall it was a fun activity to do and complete.

Anyways here is my work.

Ancient vs Modern Olympics

 Hello readers! 

In Mrs Jones group today we are learning about the olympics in tokyo. So today our group Tom fletcher did a worksheet about the modern olympics vs the ancient olympics. We all know about the modern but not many people know about the ancient. So we did a worksheet where we cut out some pieces of writing and then put it other ancient or modern. The worksheet was a little bit tricky cause some where confusing to me but overall i liked the worksheet. I think i did good with the worksheet cause i got it done in a reasonable time and also it was easy to know where to put some pieces on to the paper.

Anyways here is the worksheet!

Arthur Lydiard

 Hello readers!

For the past couple of weeks we have been learning about famous champions. That competed in the olympics back in the day. Couple of weeks ago i started creating a olympic champion profile about the all star around the world Arthur lydiard. He inspired many people because of what he did when competing in the olympics. He made many people be like him when he created a book called run to the top.

 Hello readers!

Today and also yesterday we were learning about a famous swimmer from Nz called Violet Walrond. She is titled the youngest woman to compete in the olympics in those times. And she is the first woman from NZ to go to the olympics. In 1920 she went to the olympics with a team of 4 and her dad the coach. Since there weren't many planes in New Zealand back in the old days. They took boats to go to the olympics which the olympics she went to was at germany. I am telling to much so you can read the athlete profile.

Athlete profile of Sam Dickson

 Hello readers!

For a couple of weeks we have been learning about a all star athlete Sam Dickson. He is apart of the rugby 7s team and plays for NZ. So after learning about him and learning some facts on different websites. We made a athlete profile about him and all the facts we found. We had a photo of him in the middle and then wrote some facts about him on the outside of the photo. Some things that were challenging collecting all the facts from the websites. But overall i think i did good doing the athlete profile about Sam.

Nadia was a all star gymnast and was famous for the performance in the olympics that she did on the uneven bars and the 6 other events. When she was 14 she competed in the olympics in 1976 and she won lots of medals cause of the performance she made.

Classroom objects and colors

 Hello readers!

For the last two weeks we have been learning about the classroom objects and colors in te reo maori. The first part of this lesson was we learn the objects and colors in te reo and english. Then we created a google drawing and then we had to pick a object from the photo that our teacher put on the google drawing. And then this part we chose 10 objects from the classroom photo and then write the color and the object name in maori. It was kinda difficult for me personally cause i had to keep checking on my book for what to do. But overall i think the rest was okay for me!

Here is my google drawing!

Olympics match the sport to venue

 Hello readers!

Today i started and finished a match the sport to the venue. Which is a google drawing and matching the sport in the Olympics, to where that sport was played. I think it was a bit of easy and hard mixed together completing this google drawing. One of them is hard cause the back round is blurred and it looked like a long stick. Which i think that sport is pole vaulting where you jump over a pole. 

Anyways here is the google drawing!

Digital Pixel Art

 Hello readers!

Today we tested our knowledge and done a spreadsheet answering questions to create a picture. It is called digital pixel art where you answer questions. Who ever made the digital pixel art spreadsheet. Makes it so if you get the question wrong the side turns red and no square turns a color to create a picture. But if you get it right the side will turn green and the square will turn a color to create that picture. When you get all the questions right it will create a picture.

The Tasting Test

 Hello My Readers!

Today with my teacher Miss McNeill we did a taste test. At first i was thinking bad things was going to happen before we started. And that happen not at the start but towards the end. So we had to close our eyes and guess what we had in our hands or on the table. 

This is the list we had

1. Honey
2. Lemon
3. Ham
4. Coffee
5. Chips

The first thing we did was honey. So as i said we closed our eyes and Miss McNeill put it on the table for because it was in a cup otherwise it would be in my hand. And we had to smell. And it smelled like raisins which was not bad. But cause i do not like honey i did not like the taste. 

Second was lemon and it was very sweet. As usual i closed my eyes and got something put in my hand. I was confused until i blurted out it was lemon after i tried it. And the lemon was good to eat. Cause after that i took one more lemon to eat after the taste test.

Third i had Ham and that was probably the best out of all. Cause who doesn't like Ham. And this time instead of smelling it i ate it straight away without hesitation. Cause i knew it was Ham

Fourth we had the coffee and the coffee was suggested by my reading teacher Mrs Jones. And since kids do not like coffee. We spat it out and had water.Everyone started complaining after we went back to tell Mrs Jones off.Cause of what she suggested.And i want to say the coffee was cold.

The last was potato chips! i loved them because they were salty and nice. But the only problem was that it was very hard to crunch. 

I learnt that Children have more taste buds. Cause kids have 10,000 taste buds and adults have 5,000 taste buds . That is because adults have to much hot coffee. 

Here are some photos!

Retelling The Legend

 Hello My Readers

Last week we started retelling a legend about a bird called pouaki. Pouaki is a bird that is called a gluten. And he did not do great things.

Here is my retell

There was a bird called Pouāki that on a mountain called Mt Torlesse.There was water that had been shaped that was from that mountain to sea. And on the mountain there was Raupo,Toi Toi and Harakeke.

Every single day Pouāki would sit on that mountain and wait until hunters from a Pā would find food.The glutton would swoop down and scoop them and take them back to he/his nest and then eat them.This keeps happening everyday until Ruru (One of the people in the Pā) had a plan. 

Ruru chose 40 of the bravest men to go on this mission. Overnight Ruru and his 40 men built a cage for them.As soon as they were finished building the cage they made sure that the door was easy to shut and lock.Then Ruru waited in front of Pouāki’s nest until he had to run from Pouāki.

Ruru ran into the cage with the other 40 men and started a fight. Some people manged to cut of his two claws.By then he killed some people.Then people cut of his wings so he had no way of attacking them. By then Pouāki had killed many of the men and only a quarter men alive.Then when he couldn't attack. Ruru and his other people started to clubbed Pouāki to death.

Then they had a feeling that Pouāki had children.So they climbed Mt Torlesse and halfway through they heard this beautiful noise.They thought it was Pouāki little's morning for them. So they memorize the sound and keeped climbing. As they reached the top, without hesitation they killed the little ones. Then after that they could catch the food they wanted and eat.They lived happily ever after.

Retelling a legend

 Hello my readers

So today i did a retell about a story of how the south island was made.

Here you go.

First rangi (sky farther) had married Pokoharua-te-po.Then later on they had four children.Their names were Aoraki (The eldest son) ,Rakiroa,Rakirua and Rarakiroa.The all had simular names instead of Aoraki.So then they found out that rangi their farther had fallen in love with Papatuanuku (Earth mother).

Before their farther rangi left to see the earth mother.The four sons jumped into the waka Te waka o Aoraki.And then they said a karakia to go back down to earth and see what and why Rangi was intrested in her instead of their mother.

As they were seing why Rangi their farther didnt like their mother they were more intrested to find land.But there was mostly sea to look at.As they were looking for land they found that a storm was forming.They thought it was their farther telling them to come back home.

So then the eldest son Aoraki said a karakia to make the storm ease and the waka to go back into the heavens.While the other younger brothers was shocked and scared.Their older brother got the karakia wrong and made a mistake.

Instead of rising the were sinking and Te waka o Aoraki had fliped over.So the sons swam on top and it seemed that the western side was much higher than the eastern.So the brothers had to huddle and lean on one side.As they were doing this their hair turned white.And soon they had turn to stone.

Then the brothers turned into mountains and made the southern alps. And the waka turned into the south island.

All About Eels

A couple of days ago we have been learning about eels.Eels do not have a life cycle like us but its very different.Last week we went to a marae (Te pa o moki).This marae is all the way out in Leston. Clem Smith taught us a lot about eels and show us their life cycle.

This is how a eels life cycle is. First they can stay in Lake Ellesmere for as long as they want.So then if they want to have babies they go near Hawaii in the warm water.After that they have a dad and the mum.And the dad has to squeeze the mum to a ton of eggs come out.

But unfortunately the mum and dad die.But then the eggs turn into baby's (Larva).Then they have a scent of their mum and dad and follow their trail back Lake Ellesmere.Then they grow until they are adults.

Here are some photos of the eels we saw and the life cycle.
