Food and Diet

Proteins and water

Proteins are good for your body it helps you grow to grow bigger and it repairs body tissue.

Where can I find proteins?  By eating meat, eggs, nuts and beans.

Water is something that you drink and you can drink it comes from the pipes and rain. Without water you will have a limited life!! If you don’t have a pipe in your house and it never rains outside then you should eat lettuce it has 90% of water. Did you know that every person has 65% of water in their body. Remember water is vital in life.

Waisake Naholo

Waisake Naholo plays for the Highlanders and All Blacks. This is his first year in the all blacks so his a beginner but his already got 4 or 5 tries in the last 3 games against the wales. He's my favourite player because his fijian and he has the speed of light.

Ride in a ferrari

WALT:write a persuasive paragraph

I want to ride on a Ferrari because I have never been in a red shiny Ferrari. I deserve to ride in one because i do my work and listen to the teacher. I wished at night when I'm sleeping that when I grow up then I'll get a amazing LOUD! Ferrari. I want to ride in a Ferrari because I know everything I should know about a Ferrari.The person who made the Ferrari would be so rich but for some reason I think that he should make trucks for Ferrari that would be the most annoying loud sound in New Zealand!! And if I don’t get a ride on it I’ll try again next time because this is not my only opportunity.           

Summary on Ngā Tātarakihi o Parihaka

Notes for the story

• Government taking over their land.

• A lot of violence.
• Taking crops
• The girls are scared and worried.
• Messengers already heading out
• Rarawa swimming
• Api planning on stopping the pakeha from taking their land
• Argument on if they should leave or not

As rarawa was kneading the dough she heard about the government taking over their village. A few days later the pakeha soldiers arrived and started taking down the defence wall and taking their crops. Then Api was planning on stopping the pakeha soldiers from taking over their land, but rarawa and Rangi got worried because they were scared that their brothers were going to get taken away just like there dad and would get chucked in prison without having a trial. As the soldiers arrived Rarawa had swung the poi in time with the other girls but fear had scared the words out of her mouth. As the soldiers marched closer their rifles glanced against the light. The soldiers carried on marching past rarawa, when aunty Maata came they just ignored her. Finally the soldiers stopped marching and somehow the parihaka convinced the soldiers to turn back and leave us alone.

Patterns

Yesterday we were learning how to find patterns and count sticks more easier. What I have written here will help you count sides on a triangle much faster.

Jump Rope for heart in GI centre

Last friday our whole school had a great walk to the GI centre. Our school had planned to do jump rope for the heart foundation. The place was well organised and there were plenty of spectators. All classrooms from room 1 to 12 were performing, every classroom had a routine in skipping. A lady was sent out to collect coins from people who wanted to donate to the heart foundation.  When it came to our turn to skip it was a complete disaster. There were only 4 boys performing and all the boys were tangling on the rope. The girls one was awesome. Next year  we will hopefully be better than this year.

The Strand test

Today I did a test called the strand test. I was hoping to do great but instead in my results I got a 3p. I was disappointed because my friends got a good result but not me.  I had lots of weak spots in this test, I didn't know lots of the finding the area problems. Hopefully I will get a better result next term.

Basic Facts Test

Walt: Do a timed basic facts.

Yesterday I completed a timed basic fact test and I may have done a bad job. I usually get 90% or more but this time my teacher asked me to do a timed basic fact instead of taking the sheet. A sheet lets you take time to answer but on timed it gives you a time limit. I did awful if you asked. The stage is just right but I needed more time to answer some of the hard ones like the fractions and some division. I will practice more to improve so I can quickly answer all of them.

Scatter Graph

The last 2 weeks my classroom has been making a scatter graph. It was confusing at first but I then I found out how to solve the scatter graph. A scatter graph is like any graph but just 
We got into a group of two and we made 3 planes and we threw them and wrote how far it went in our books just with small squares.with small squares. I think you should give the scatter graph a try!

Match It!

Yesterday I did this activity from my reading site. I got 10 out of 10 in my results. That activity was about parts from your body. I think this is a excellent warm up game for you!
