Maths Presentation

Here is a presentation that I have created during Numeracy class. We have been learning about Integers and money debts. This task was set for us for Week 8, and I've finally managed to finish it!

How to prevent yourself from getting sick

Ugh! It’s winter, and what comes with winter is sickness!! It really does suck being sick. We should all learn how to look after ourselves. Below there are ways from preventing yourself from getting sick.

One of the easiest ways of staying healthy is eating a balanced range of food. This means eating from the 5 food groups with a focus on fruits and vegetables. If you do that then your body will receive all the nutrients it needs to be in the best condition to fight off invading germs.

Another way to prevent yourself from getting sick is by not sharing drinks or foods with other people. This means if you have a drink or a really nice food do not share it with others if you have already taken a bite from it, why? Well your your saliva could get into the food or drink that you have already drank or eaten. If you do this you could also prevent others from getting sick.

The last and final way to prevent yourself from getting sick is to wash your hands frequently. This means after coming from the bathroom and before dinner you should always wash your hands. Why? because you could be spreading your germs into your dinner or after you’ve used the bathroom. If you do this you could help yourself and also people around from getting sick.

Eating healthier, Washing your hands and NOT sharing food with others could really help you!! If you do these things you could live a better and healthy life.  I hope you live long and happy life!

Multiplication and Division Presentation

Here is a presentation that I have created during my Numeracy time.

Netball Eastern Tournament

On Wednesday I had the opportunity to record our Netball mixed teams at the Eastern tournament. It was held for the age groups through from year 5 to 8.

While I was at the tournament I got to record our schools games, and the first game I was able to film was the Yr 7&8 B team. Who played against Stonefield's school, and won!! Finding out that they won got us all excited!

I recorded a lot of games on that day, and as the day went on our four  teams were all in the finals. Listening closely to who each team was playing in the finals got us all filled with excitement! The Yr 7&8B team played Glen Taylor and lost, as well as the A team. Although both our Yr 5 and 6 teams came first in their grade.

It was an amazing day!! Watching and filming all the good things that happened on that day. I even caught a all the goals that our yr 5 team had shot in their finals!

Congratulations Point England!! You all did Great!!!!

It is finally Term 3!! Here is a Addition Triangle that I have figured out  during our first maths time. It is about Decimals.

Term 3 Reflection

Aaaaahhhhh!! Term Three's almost over !!!!

This term has been an outstanding Term, with all the different types of sports I’ve been in, and also having to participate in Cross Country.  

A lot of things have happened this term. We’ve had Netball Prizegivings, League Tournaments and even Cross Country races. Every Wednesday we’d probably have Kiwi Sports, and for the past few weeks we've been having Netball sessions with Donna. Having these sessions also help us with what we can achieve in our actual teams.

My highlight for this term would probably be our Netball Prizegiving. Which was held right after Cross Country. Why? Well actually I got awarded Best Sportsmanship for my team.

I think that I have achieved one of my goals which were Self Managing. Which was part of finishing of tasks properly. Also creating movies and finishing it on time.

I’ve really enjoyed this Term. Learning different types of writing Topics, and reading journals about Earth. Overall I’ve enjoyed this term.

Cross Country 2014

After all our trainings the day had finally come. It was Cross Country 2014 for our whole school.

Every year our school has cross country, and this year the tracks were harder. It went from year 1- 8. Aaaaahhh!!!! The 11th of September was the day.  We’d come to school in different types of colours. I came to school in the colour Green Mataatua. There were other colours Blue (Tainui) Red ( Te Arawa ) and Yellow (Takitimu)

When Mr Jacobsen called out the year one boys we all got so excited.  Watching my little brother run too, was quite an exciting experience. He was also representing Mataatua.

While waiting for our turn, I started getting hotter and hotter. Finally Mrs Nua asked us if we wanted to move to another spot. Eventually we heard Mr Jacobsen call out the year 5 boys.

Filled with nervousness, I headed off to the start of the race, just before  Mr Burt called out the yr 7 girls. Butterflies hit my stomach, and my legs started shaking. BAANG! Mr Burt slapped the blocks together.

Huffing and Puffing I ran as fast as I could. It was actually the fastest that I’ve ever run. Running towards the gates I stopped and took a very long breathe, as I said to my friend “ the tracks are too loonnggg!!”  

It had came to the end of my first lap, while struggling to get around for my second lap. Finally I had a friend to run with. It was Allanha, and we quickly ran down to the finish as everyone was cheering for us.

I can’t wait for next years Cross Country. Running in the year races too. “ GOOOO MATAATUA” I said while the year 8’s were running.  

The Sports I enjoy Playing

Here is a little presentation that I have created. It is all about the sports I enjoy playing. Hope you enjoy.

#StoptheBull Revolution Tour

Here is also a  little snippet of what happened, that day.  Sorry for the late post!

Why is exercising good for your Body?

Why should younger children exercise everyday? Well, wait its actually  good for your body.

One of the reasons that exercising is good for your body is that it can help you get fitter. For an example athletes need to practice and work hard  everyday to get fitter and have a placing in the Commonwealth. Did you also know that when you exercise it helps your brain.  

 Another reason exercising is good for your body is that it can help with sports. Which is mainly about how fit the player is for that sport. For an example if there were a unfit player in Netball, the team would probably have problems winning. When you are fit you’ll have more energy than an unfit person.

But why don’t people exercise? Besides having medical problems. Like asthma. Although exercising is good for your body, it can help with your brains. Besides that it also helps your Bones and Muscles.

Younger kids say exercising is Fun. Actually every kid does it. Kicking a ball for an example is  a kind of exercise. Which helps your muscles in your legs.

That's why exercising helps you. Therefore if you exercise you can also lose eight in between weeks.

Life Education Caravan with Harold

Currently our school has had The Life Education Caravan with Lynn. This year our class had the opportunity to learn about Drugs and Alcohol and how it can affect your body. For the last four weeks we have been learning and watching clips about teenagers that have shared their stories with us. It was Malcolm, Rita, James, Zeb, Jason and Amy.

Drugs and alcohol can create permanent brain damage, double vision, short time memory, anger and more.  Drugs that are used by people can create stress from families and close friends. There are different types of Drugs that are legal and Illegal. Drugs can also slow down your neurotransmitters.

Zeb on the other side, had the potential to play rugby. But instead he chose drugs.  I enjoyed watching Zeb’s story.  Zeb had started at the age of 13 while the others started between 13 to 17. He said that nothing wrong was happening, but actually it was affecting the people around like his family.

People mostly start taking drugs to “Fit In”. There are drugs like, Marijuana, Cocaine, Glue, pot and more. Drugs can also slow down your brain. Lynn also gave us some tips on what our future should be like, healthy and a good education.

 

How to Suceed

Lest We Forget

Today is a special day to remember. From August 4th 1914 till now. Which marks the 100th Commemoration when the first World War had started. Men and women from around New Zealand had volunteered to Fight with our allies.

Most schools around New Zealand had assemblies to remember  the people who went to Gallipoli to fight for us. Even our principals Grandad went off for world war and came back alive. Today at nine in the morning our school and schools around New Zealand flew their New Zealand flags half way down the pole.

Summarizing Whats For lunch

Whats for Lunch? The Book that we are reading this week was about a boy named Alex and the type of food that he needed to eat. It first started when Tina had noticed that Alex had brought a Nutty Bar to school everyday of the week. Mr Kenna had suggested that Alex should bring A LOT more fruits and Veggies to school. Mr Kenna had pinned up a poster with a pyramid full of Food. At the top of the pyramid had Junk food, in the middle of the had oily fat food and at the bottom of course was Healthy Food. After that Mr kenna had given Alex a chart of what types of food the girls and the boys should eat. And currently the boys chart was healthier. After that Rangi had suggested to share his Lunch with Alex. So by then Alex had started eating healthier.

Australia

Australia is one of the countries that are competing in the Commonwealth Games.

This term we have been given to learn about the Commonwealth games. This week I have chosen to learn about Australia. Did you know that the Gold Coast will be hosting 2018’s Commonwealth games?

Australia is located in Oceania. Currently Australia’s population for this year  is 22,507,616. Australia is currently 55th out of 240 countries with the largest population. Currently China is coming first with a population of 1,355,692,544 .

The most common languages that are spoken other than English are, Greek, Italian, Cantonese, Arabic, Mandarin and Vietnamese. Australia has a lot of cultures that are now living there. I also know that Aboriginal Australians live there too. There are about 0.3 % of Indigenous languages spoken. Aborigines are indigenous to Australia.

There are a lot of sports played in Australia. But the most common played sport is AFL (Australian Football League) AFL was first devised by Wills, his cousin H.C.A Harrison, W.J. Hammersley and J.B Thompson. The Melbourne football club was first formed in August 7th 1858.
