This is my final task for my literacy slides.It was just questions.All I had to do was read a text and answer the questions on the next slide.It was pretty simple. By the way ITS THE LAST DAY OF THE TERM! So this is the last blog post. Well besides my reflection. So here is my last blog post for the term!
Today was the last session of tech for the TERM! It was really fun and cool. We also did some awesome learning. We did some funny jokes at the end and they were really funny. What we did for tech today was that we answered some questions. I also did 2 poster for hard materials, that have something related to the workshop. I hope that you learn something and THANK YOU SO MUCH MR GRUNDY. Remember to STAY SAFE!
Make a copy of this doc. Name it “YournameSafety” Share it with me. (grundy@tamaki.ac.nz)
(Remember, when researching online, we are considering “wood hand tools”.)
1. Consider the hand tools that you may use in the woodwork shop.
*The hand tools I might consider using from the wood shop are things like a chisel. Also a Back Saw and a Mallet to mark out the line I want.
2. Consider how they are used accurately and safely.
* A Back Saw is used accurately if you use the point grip. Which is when you're holding it with your index finger pointing as if it has a gun in the hand. Also by sawing the piece of wood straight. For the chisel it is better to chip it underwards and not downwards. Also by not starting off trying to get the whole thing out, but just to take some pieces out at a time.Lastly for my Mallet the push it down to the wood and make sure that the line is straight and having the pin side to the wood.
3. How should they be stored to be sure that they are in good condition?
*FIrst of all, check it. To see if it has dents or some pieces that are missing/broken parts.
4. Think about the way we should behave in a busy workshop to keep safe.
*The way we should behave in a workshop is by being very steady with things. To be careful with our tools.Also to just be responsible with the tools and when using it.
5. Can you imagine a situation that could result in an accident?
*When you are not concentrating on what you are doing with the tool. Or being distracted easily by your friends. Another one is when you and your friend/s decided to hit each other with the tool.
6. Produce a short list of “Safety Rules” that we could display in the workshop to remind us of safe working habits.
*Remember to concentrate on what your doing
*Remember not to hit people with the tools
*Use the tools correctly
*Be quite, not noisy
*BE CAREFUL!
7. Design a “Safety Poster” that could be displayed in the workshop.
This is my final task for my maths. Now instead of the first one being about birth rates. This one is about death rates. No this is just a maths task, nothing real (hopefully). Anyways this was also a fun task to do. I learned to think about things.It has been really fun to do this type of way to do maths. I can't believe this is my final maths blog post for the term. Anyway's I hope that you all remember to STAY SAFE!
This is my task 3 for Tuvalu Language week! This task was that I had to pick from either a Persuasive,Explanation,Narrative or Recount about Tuvalu. I choose a Explanation writing because I think that I have grown some interest to this writing topic.Anyways I hope that you learn something about the culture and more importantly STAY SAFE!
Did you know that Tuvalu is the least visited country ever? Well If not then you have just learned a new fact. Or even a new country. This week is Tuvalu Language Week! So I am here to explain the country Tuvalu, Their culture/tradition, the country flag and I couldn't resist doing the food there that happens on their land.
As I mentioned before Tuvalu is the world least visited country. It is a small country in Oceania. It has 9 island which include Funafuti,Vaitupu,Nukulaelae,Niutao,Nanumea,Naumanga, Nukufetau and Niulakita. Funafuti is the capital of this country. It is midway between Australia and Hawaii. It is said that the first settlers were from Samoa and probably arrived in the 14th century. Then further later in the 16th century, they discovered the islands. It is also apparently one of the safest places in the world. The currency they use is the Tuvaluan dollar and Australian dollar.
Up next is their Culture and Traditions. Tuvalu's culture is a HUGE part of their life! Considering that Tuvalu has mostly Polynesian people, a lot of their culture or tradition are the same as yours possibly. The women that live there don't wear normal clothes like us. They have a traditional dress, which is made up of hand-dyed pandanus leaf strips. What they use to decorate it is traditional patterns and colours. When feasts are happening, they usually do some traditional dances and music. All of this is held in a Maneapa's. Which is also known as a meeting house. Each Maneapa is unique, another big thing is that Christianity has a strong influence on the islands. Like some pacific countries, Sundays are a day of rest and church attendance. People who are visitors are asked to be discreet in their choice of activities. The female visitors are also asked to dress modestly in towns and villages. Their national celebration is Independence Day, which is on 1 October starting in 1978.
Another huge part of Tuvalu is of course the flag. Tuvalu's flag is quite similar to some other flags. What makes it similar is that it has the Union Jack. The Union Jack is a symbol of the link between Britain and other Commonwealth members. There are approximately 54 members of the commonwealth. Also on the flag is 9 stars. Those 9 stars represent the 9 islands that combined the country itself.
Last but not least their FOOD! There is one national food that the people in Tuvalu eat. That is Pulaka. Pulaka is swamp taro. Now I know it sounds weird, but hear me out. It is Taro, just that has a bigger leaf and larger coarser roots. Some other foods include Cooked Banana or normal, Breadfruit and Coconut. They also eat fish, which did I mention they get from THEIR LAGOON! Just to name one seafood they eat is Coconut Crabs. Let's not forget PORK!
So there you have it. I have explained 4 main and big things about Tuvalu. What are your thoughts on it? Overall Tuvalu is a great place whether you're going there to see their lovely culture and tradition. Or even just their delicious food. I mean just by writing this, I hope that I can visit Tuvalu in the nearby future. Anyway, I hope that you learned something about Tuvalu and HAPPY TUVALU LANGUAGE WEEK!

Here is the second to last task from my Tuvalu maths. It is about graphs. I had to look into seeing what year and month had the most births. Also this Tuvalu has been really fun to do. I hope that you learn something and remember to STAY SAFE!
Here is my task 2 for Tuvalu Language Week. This week for Maths and Literacy we are pretty much learning about Tuvalu. Anyways remember to STAY SAFE!
As you may know from my last post it is Tuvalu Language Week. Yesterday for my task I translated some Tuvalu phrases. Well today here are some history facts about Tuvalu. To be honest I didn't even know Tuvalu was a country at all. Now that we're learning about it, it is very interesting. Anyway I hope you learn something and remember to STAY SAFE!
