Writing!

This week for writing we had to do a poem Including Ngai Tahu and the life that we live now. I was exited to learn about this work and I hope you like it! here it is! 

Over 800 years ago 

Riding the optimistic ocean 

Upon a waka ancestors find their homes

How the times have changed from 1220

“Crash” a tragedy has awoken, the ground is rumbling 

The people started stumbling to the thought of their beloved home being destroyed as the memories start to fade away,

Black and white is all we see nowhere to run 

Stunned as they showed their emotion for endless

hours  

Ngai Tahu didn’t see what was coming next for the future 

Population for it was covid

This time we couldn’t get away from it

The world was shut down no where to go except for your homes. 

Otautahi is stronger than ever facing tragedies left and right but we all are strong together so we are no longer afraid of things we cannot control.  

What are some other things I could have added?

Reading!

 For reading this week we had to pick out of 2 tasks but I decided to do both! I chose one to do around The mosque shooting and one around Venn diagram and 2 different settings. This task was so fun to do and I really enjoyed it. Here is my work and I really hope you enjoy it.

If you have any questions or feedback feel free to comment!

  

Math!

 This week for math we were learning about Translation, Rotation, Enlargement and Reflection we had to make a Kōwhaiwhai patterns using the designs that I had created. I learnt so many new things this week like all of the geometry things we were learning. Here is a picture:

As you can see in every box I had everything we were learning, It was a kind of hard task but I was happy when I finished it as well as learning so much new things.

Make sure to comment on some things I can improve.

Graphys Graghs!

For math this week we did graphs. We collected all of our data either from a website or within the school. We focused on doing something that has to do with our Turangawaewae. After we collected all of our data we decided what graph we wanted to use, I picked a bar graph for mine. My question was how often do some people in kaupeka hub use Te Reo Maori. We then answered the questions we needed to from the hub site. Here is a picture of my work: 

Here are a few questions: 

Would you do this the same?

Is there any other way you would do this?

What could I improve on? 

Math week!

 For math this week we were focusing on communicating and interpret locations and directions, using compass directions, distances, and grid references. We used a map website to learn directions using the ruler tool. We started from Kaiapoi Pa Road to Onawe peninsula. We had to get the answers to 6 different questions that were on the site. Such as these: 

1. Find and plot your current location as a coordinate (Kaiapoi Pa) - where is this in relation to the centre of Ōtautahi?

2. Find and plot your destination as a coordinate (Ōnawe Pa) - where is this in relation to the centre of Ōtautahi?

3. You must measure distance between the two locations ( remember the roads we have today may not be your chosen path)

4. What is the most direct route from one place to the other

5. Include the compass directions both locations are from the centre of Ōtautahi

6. See if you can give the co-ordinates for St. Francis: ( No picture)

From my hub Kaupeka

We Took screenshots of our work so here are mine:

Those were all of my pictures from my work so far. This math has been so fun to do while searching some new places!

Pa Week !

 This week was pa week. A pa is a maori place to live. All week this week we explored the features of a pa. We had three tasks, which were math (to design our own pa) Reading (writing your own one/Trying to be like an real estate. Then last there was writing that was writing. Writing was to explain the pa that we had designed earlier when we did math. It was very fun to learn about something new. Here are a few pictures of my work from pa week, week 6/term 1!
