The Deca tree question

                🌳The Deca Tree This is Day 12 challenge... - The Maths Forest | Facebook

Today my class tried to answer the Deca tree. Before doing the maths problem we watched a video. In that video we learned that making mistake was ok. What I mean is that once you get something wrong then your brain grows. This maths problem was challenging. My group didn't get the answer, but we did learn a lot. Anyway the answer for the question was 8889. Hopefully next time I can try and get the answer.

Maths recap

 This is my maths recap. What I had to do is try to remember all of the maths we learned over the two days. I hope you enjoy this slide show. 

Symbol and signs

 Hi guys, so today we learned about symbol and signs. We also had to read a story called the key game and answer some questions. I also did a poster. On the first slide we had to write what those things represents. On the second slide we had to read a story and answer some questions and on the last one we had to crate a movie poster for  the story. The reason why there is those words is because those words were in the story. Also the reason why I did the key is because that is what the story is called and because that is what the keyhole comes in. Anyway I hope you enjoy this slide show.

My art!

 Hi guys, so for the past 4 weeks me and my class has been doing art. We had to pick an inspiration quote and paint a background. My quote was "Live Life To The Fullest". The reason why I choose that one was because you only get 1 life so you might as well take risk and do whatever you want to. My background was a sunset because I thought it would go really well with it. I know that it isn't the best, but I like it. I hope you enjoy my art.    



Multiples and factors task 2

 I learned more about multiplys and factors.

Global warming!

 This is my literacy task. I started this in lockdown, but now I am at school. Anyway I had to learn about Global warming. This slide show has videos to explain what Global warming is. Do you think Global warming is a big deal? After doing this task I now know about Global warming. The writing task I have blogged separately.  I hope you enjoy this slide show.

                   

Writing to the future!




 To the person who found this,

I wrote this letter to explain to you guys what to do with Global warming. If you don’t know what Global warming is I will quickly explain. So have you ever heard of the ice age? Well what happened in the ice age is pretty much what is happening now. Well the opposite. In the ice age the world was freezing. In this case the world is warming up. What I mean about that is that the world is going smaller. I know that sounds crazy. 


Now you may think that global warming is nothing, but it is actually a big deal. What happens is that while the world is going smaller things such as the ice caps are melting. Not just that but sea levels are rising and crops are dying. Now crops dying is no big deal, but wheat is a crop so if you think about it we won’t have bread. Right now you are probably thinking what causes global warming?


Well scientists believe that it is actually you. Well not you specifically but humans. Yes this sounds crazy right? Well how this is happening is that us humans are burning coal,oil and gas. What I mean is that heaters,cars and stoves are just some of the things that use coal,oil and gas. When it burns it goes up to the atmosphere and it gets trapped. After reading this you probably want to know how we can help reduce the problem. 


Well how we can help is by using less energy and water. Simple things like turning off the lights and water when you’re not using them. Another way is that you can walk instead of riding in cars whenever you can. It also helps if you can also look for other energy sources. Those energy sources can be solar and wind power. By doing this you are slowly helping. 


So I have a couple questions for what is happening in the future. First one: what are houses like now? I mean are they floating and what materials is the house made of? Like is it still wood or metal. Maybe they even  do glass. Second question: what stores are there? Oh do you guys still have pak’nsave and countdown. How about the warehouse or even night markets? Finally is there any new technology? Like is there something like a robot. That would be nice. Thanks for reading this.

Multiples and Fractors

Hi guys I hope you guys are staying safe and at home. Today my maths class and I had to do this task. The task was about multiples and factors. The first slide, it starts with multiples and factors. Well, the factors of a number are actually the number that multiplies together to make the answer. What I had to do for the last slide is just times the numbers in the petal by 4. I hope you enjoy this slide show.

New puppy!

On Friday I was just sitting in the living room when I heard my sister Inga. Now every time I hear Inga I usually go out to scare her, but it's really me getting scared. Anyway, I walked outside to see where she was standing when I saw something moving. I decided to go closer and I saw a puppy.  At first, I thought that we were just looking after it for the day. Then this is when I remembered my uncle saying he was going to get one. At this point, I was jumping because I was excited and I was calling my other siblings. I asked what the name of the puppy was and he said that the name of the puppy was Cayzel. We played with her all day. I was just so happy to have a puppy now. I just can't wait for what's to come!





Also if you look closer into the pictures you can notice that her eyes look different. Like one is blue and one is like an aqua green.

Wind energy

 On Wesnday it was the first day of Extension! We learnt about Wind Energy, and how the Wind Turbines convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy. You can use mechanical energy in many different ways all sorts of things. For example pumping water. We also found out some benefits of using wind Turbines.

One of the benefits is that the turbines actually make jobs. Yes you read this correct. How that happens is that there employ up to 100,000 workers. Also the wind turbine technician is actually one of the fastest growing American jobs.

Aitutaki presentation!

This is my research presentation about my reading group which is called Aitutaki. We had to find facts about our reading group. In this slide show I talk about the food there, sports and the island itself. I hope you enjoy this slide show. 

                        

Writing challenge!

 

Spongebob was cleaning his house with a broom, because it was very messy. While he was cleaning he tripped on something and got bruised very badly. He knew that there was something that could be treasure. He dug and found the treasure, but it didn’t take long for him to open it and there was an adorable teddy bear. As Spongebob looked closely  he saw that the teddy bear was holding the globe, the bear then said “Spongebob you need to look after this before it gets into the wrong hands”. At this point Spongebob was surprised that the teddy bear could talk, but now he knew he had a very important job to do.

Class challenge!

 Wow! Yesterday was my very first day being year 7. to be honest I really don't want to leave year 7. Yesterday we did many things, but my favourite was the pole and ball game. What that game is about is working together. Anyway we were split into 2 groups. It was year 7 verses year 8. Now at this point the game was already set up. Anyway the aim of the game is to get all 4 balls into the box, which was on the other side.At first we thought it was going to be easy. 

On the first try we fell a lot and we were starting to give up. We will only 10 minutes in and the year 8's already got in one. We knew that we were going to lose so most of my team sat out. Me, Kiarah, Lincoln and more just kept trying. The year 8's get getting ball after ball, but we didn't quit. They got there last ball in and we only got one in.

This was actually really fun even though we lost. I can not wait for more class challenges to come. 

About me!

 Malo e lelei, my name is Angelica and I am a year 7 at Pt England school.This year my teacher is Mrs Stone and my literacy teacher is Mr Moran. 

I like to do a lot of things but I do like to draw and write. I have also played netball since year 1 in a team which was named the angel, but now the Amazons.I do also like to read and one of my favourite books is Dawn Raid. 

When I grow up I want to be a detective or a prosecution lawyer. The reason why is because I watch a lot of crimes on TV like NCIS and Criminal Minds. I do also enjoy Drake and Josh.

At home I have 3 siblings, one of which is now moved on to be in college. Things I like to do is having fun with my siblings. 

At school I like to play softball. Last year I was also an ambassador for the school. This year my goals are to work on maths and reading. 

I can't wait to see what comes next!
