Clear Phobia


Walt: describe our phobias.


My phobias


My phobias is people following me at night-time. If I see someone walking behind me at night and I am alone, I tend to walk faster or run to where I'm suppose to go. My other phobia is going for long boring rides, like driving all the way from Auckland to Wellington because I get car sick. I think I have a lot more phobias, I just haven’t figured them out yet.

Trey Maths game

WALT: To revisit perimeter and area problems. Perimeter and Area


To play this game you had to know your area of a shape. The easy part about this game was following the instructions and getting the answers right. During the game nothing was hard. I think that my teacher should give our maths group a harder game for area.

Saleha Netball Poem


WALT: write a poem


Netball


Never give up
Enjoy your game
There is no shame
Because it’s your fame
After you shoot
Let out a hoot
Low pass and high pass 
and in the hoop


Nothing is more
Entertaining than playing netball
Together with your friends.
Boys and girls  
Always remember
Low pass and high pass then
Let it slide in the hoop
then score!!!


Netball is
Entertaining
Terrific
Bewildering
Astonishing

Blade Maths Game: Adding Decimal


In this game you had to add decimals. The answer in this game is A 6.2.  When you get your answer correct you get to try and kick the ball in the goal. This game was a little bit challenging for me because I had to add the decimals mentally.This game is very good for me because I had to work fast to get a better score than my group members. I think our teacher should give our maths group more maths games like this.

Mikayla Jump Rope Evaluation


Walt: write a report.


A week ago, Glen Innes School had Jump Rope for Heart at their school hall. Friday was the big show.The whole school performed a really lovely display of skipping.  Glen Innes School were practising, performing and doing a great job at jump rope. The school did jump rope for heart because they were practising the show for the Glen Innes Centre and to be fit and healthy. One of the most fantastic items was Room 11.  


When the school got to the hall, the kids looked very nervous and especially excited to perform their routines with the teachers help. The kids were excellent at their performance, but one or two people were still getting a hang of it. The children were energetic and had wonderful skills in skipping. Following the classes routines, were fantastic. It was like the whole school were crazy at skipping. Well anyway the school  was amazing at their routines and how they presented it.

The  music chosen for the  routines was fantastic. Some songs were a perfect match to the classes routines. Almost all the time kids would sing each song that was playing. The most popular song that was played was Gentleman, that song was playing to Room 12’s routine. Room 11’s remix was a fast motion, that was really good because they did some fast skipping. The thing was is that some songs were slow and that would mean that the kids would have to skip slowly. That was a real thing that came to me. Anyway the songs were fantastic and it had a real beat to the skipping.

Parents were fantastic as well. They were cheering on their children and they were being an amazing audience. When Mr. Naidoo called them on to the dance they came rushing down to their kids. They were just a grateful audience.

Clearissa Marariki


Walt: explain the Maori contribution to time.


Matariki
Matariki is the Maori name for a group of stars. Matariki begins at the end of the harvesting season. Maori celebrate Matariki because it is the Maori contribution to time. Matariki is history.

Celebrations

My tribe, in Ruatoki celebrates Matariki together. Before Matariki starts, everyone gathers in there food and stores it away from the cold, outside. Matariki is a time for remembering the dead and celebrating the new life. The songs that are played are tribal traditional songs. The Maori songs has been passed on through many generations.

Contribution to time

The Maori contributed to time in a very unique way. Maori could read time by the stars when they travel at night on the sea. Tawhirimatea, a early Maori teared his eyes out and flung them into the heavens. The 7 stars is a story. There are many different legends based on the stars.
