Money Time

In money time I completed module four which is about Jobs.

I learnt:

  1. Learn things about jobs that motivate you
  2. Find some jobs you might like to do as a career
  3. Learn how qualifications can get you a higher paying job

We are learning how to manage our money, budget money, save and spend it wisely.  So to earn money you do modules that have a bunch of questions about jobs, principals, deposits and more.  You can also send money to charities and buy jobs to help you earn more money. That is all I got from money time.

Science Reflection

This term and last term has been about acids, bases and pH scale.

I’ve learnt that acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. A base is a substance that produces hydroxide ion in water and a pH scale tells us if a acid is strong or weak and if a base is strong or weak as well. pH scale also has the number 7 in the middle representing a neutral substance such as water.

Last term was when we done an experiment with litmus paper testing different liquids to see if they were a base or acid. I found it interesting that most of our liquids turned pink when adding another substance. The one thing I found difficult was understanding how to use the litmus paper properly. But I eventually got it.

That is the end of base and acids unit.

Maths

This unit has been about measuring. Our most recent learning intention has been all about analysing our practical data from when we gathered time and measurements from the back field.  We measured things like shot put, discus and javelin. To gather that information we used rulers and measuring tape. I have learnt to use the correct metric units of length for the right things. Next time I would like to time more of the track events. Maybe like how far I get per second on the 100m sprint. That is all 10k maths has been doing so far.

Agriculture Preservatives

Last week our class made preservatives that included peaches, blackberries, corn and Kombucha.

Tayahn and I were peeling and cutting peaches that were going to be turned into a jam.

Tohe made blackberry jam, Bella and her group transferred the kombucha to another jar and Zacchaeus and his group cut the corn.

All of that was added to a separate pot and cooked till it was a jam consistency.

That was last weeks experience.

 

Agriculture

Last week Tayahn, Khadyn, Maia and myself made kombucha. We added 10 red tea bags and 10 regular tea bags to a pot of water. Then we boiled the tea bags and Tayahn added 1 cup of sugar. We then waited for the sugar to dissolve and scooped the teabags out leaving the remaining liquid. That is it.

Riah

Today we are learning how to use language features to create an image in our readers mind.

Here are a few things that describe me:

I am as short as a dwarf.

My eyes are hazel like a freshly fallen leaf.

I stand tall like a barely grown tree.

I swim like a jelly fish that’s being pulled by the currents. 

I fear things in the dark like the light of the sun. 

I value my family and friends.

When I’m nervous I suddenly feel butterflies in my stomach and my face turns red .

My favourite sport is Volleyball.

My favourite snack is chocolate

My favourite movie is Fast n Furious 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

Like a pig, my favourite time of the day is eating.

My favourite memory of childhood is not having to care about looks or having the freedom to be immature.

  

 

Mr Frosty and the BMX kid

This past week we have watched and identified many different dialogue, camera angles and techniques in this film, called Mr Frosty and the BMX kid. This short film consists of a small Maori boy (The BMX kid) and a grumpy old man (Mr Frosty) who claims to be god and the boy does not believe him until they do some manus and he pulls a fattie manu impressing him instantly. Soon after the hunger for ice cream kicks in and they become best mates and then get ice cream with loads of sprinkles for both of them to enjoy. By Riah and Calla.

 

Line of Dialogue Who Said It? Tone (e.g. sarcastic, hopeful, sad) Why is this Important? (What does it tell us about the character, mood, or story?)
“It’s good to come home now and then eh bro? Eat some ice creams, do some bombs.” BMX Boy. Glad and grateful. The Character is a boy that does not believe you can’t do anything by age and is  a  very mindful kid.
“We call it Aotearoa around here bro.” BMX boy Tellingly and respectfully Informing him the correct name this shoes he is tangata whenua 
“That’s what my mum always says.” BMX boy Nostalgic  That he takes his mothers words to heart.
“Well, you can be whoever you want to be, I guess.” BMX boy Not convinced He said that he thinks and believes you can be whoever you want to be. 
“I just felt I had to come back here, back to my eden” Mr Frosty Mysterious, eerie,longingly  Longs to come back to his place of nostalgia and perfection and because it is beautiful.
“You want a bomb, i’ll show you a bomb” Mr frosty  Angry Short tempered easily teased

Wild Pork and Watercress

At the moment my class and I  have been reading and studying a book called Wild Pork and Watercress.

The aim of the novel study is to build our understanding of literary aspects.

We have finished reading 5 chapters so far and learnt a lot about different sorts of relationships that happen in one relationship.

Here is a quick informative slide about chapter 1:

In this slide are some questions we answered from chapter 2:

This is my reflection on the first 2 chapters of the novel.
