Measurement Scavenger Hunt

 On Wenesday the 9th, my class did a measurement scavenger hunt. Me and Tumoana did it together because we knew we woluld only need two people to measure properly. We used a measuring tape to measure what we needed to but only used a Metre ruler once. Me and Tumoana started in the playground which we finished very quickly. We then moved onto the front of the Nelson block. It didn't take us too long to finish that either. All we had to do was to measure the bike racks. We moved onto the courts where we had to measure the length of the basketball which was over 30 metres! The last place we had to measure was our classroom which also was very quickly done.

Well-Being

 

These are all the words that relate to me and my well-being. The image is Kawhi Leonards logo. I've put in the words Basketball, Education, Sport, Health, Mentality, Kiribati, Niue, Otaki and My Name. Basketball is my favourite sport and it's what I want to do for a living. Education is very important to me because it gives me the knowledge I need to go out into the world. Sport is also important because it helps me to stay fit. I need to be healthy so I can get my energy and growth. Mentality is also another thing that is important to me because I need to be able to be calm when I need to be the most. Kiribati and Niue are the Islands in the pacific which I come from and Otaki is where I live. I've chosen the Kawhi Leonard logo because he's one of my favourite NBA players. 

Ipo The Parrot

 This Morning, a lady named Andrea came into our classroom to share with us a little cockatoo named Ipo.

Ipo suffers from a range of stuff including arthritis. He is 43 and he could possibly live up to 100 years old. Andrea told us all about the type of parrot he is and how he comes from Australia. After, she got us to come up and pet him. Ipo is a Omnivore which means he eats fruit, veges and meat. He likes to dance to music as well. He's also been on Fanimals. I think he's a great Cockatoo.

Dimic

 Kumara Planting

Every week we have to do Dimic for a period in a group. In Term 2 week 3, Me, Ethan, David and Spyro were put into a group and this is the problem we had to solve.

I write down all of our ideas and everyone contributed. We quickly got to work and figured out that all we needed to do was to find the multiples of 276. In no time we were righting down all of the multiples of 276. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 23, 46, 69, 92, 138, 276. This got us all the answers we needed and all the different ways we could plant the Kumara Shoots. We then presented our work to the class together and we all got to speak on our Ideas.
