Britney Pizza Game

The walt in this game was to learn how to make pizzas. We are making pizzas by serving, making, and presenting to customers. I was going to  taking orders, making them then serving then doing it all over again.

It was all easy, but it got challenging when more and more customers came, they were getting really angry. It would be more difficult, If the pizzas cooked faster, or you had to get a lot of toppings, and if there was time for everything.

Next I want to learn to be a proffessional at it.

Mary- Fraction Game

Walt: Write fractions in the lowest terms.

I know how to write fractions in their lowest terms because I know my timetables very well. My strategy to figuring out what's a the simplest form to 5/10 I would use my five times tables to figure out the answer because 5 divide by 5 equals one, so you put one in the numerator so 5 divide by 10 equals two.then you put your answer to that goes in the denominator so all that equals to ⅕. I thought it was challenging because I tried to beat my time but I didn’t. I only beat my score and my medals. You could make it more hard if you add tricky fractions in the game that what makes me think. Next I would like to improve my speed at forming the fractions lowest forms.

Alisi, Maths- Pizza Game

                                                                                          

Walt: play the pizza game.

This game is really challenging for me because I had to make the orders in time so I can get more tips. It was good to have a change of games this week, because my teacher Mrs. Ramkolowan usually gave my group maths games like hooda maths.com or mathletics but she changed the games now. The easy part was just making the pizza. The hard part was getting the orders in time. This game can’t be more difficult than it is. I would like to get faster at the orders.

Matthew,Rheumatic Fever

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the public health dept.

Prevention is better than Cure

On 6 August, the whole school of Glen Innes school went to the hall to talk about Rheumatic fever. It was a special assembly. Dr Alison Leversha from Star ship Hospital came to us. It took 25 minutes. Three Warriors players and an X Warrior player came to us to interest us to take care of you throat. The three Vodafone Warriors showed us when a doctor comes in a class and say who has a sore throat you will get a swab by a nurse. I thought the Vodafone Warriors was going to talk about Rheumatic fever, but they didn’t.

Awen Guttenbeil talked to us when he had Rheumatic fever. He played for the Kiwi league team and the Tongan league team. He told us that Rheumatic fever could lead us to death. He never told his mum or dad that he had a sore throat. He told us that on the day the athletics he couldn’t get out of bed. He had saw joints. He dragged himself through the hallway to tell his mum or dad that he has a terrible problem. Awen’s mum and dad took Awen straight to the hospital.  After 2 months the doctor told the mum and dad that Awen has Rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever starts from a sore throat.

In conclusion I think that I should take care of my throat. Sore throats leads to Rheumatic fever and that could lead to death.

Saleha- Rhyming poem on Ta'valo

Walt : write a rap to share the facts on  a Ta’ovala.

Just like new

In the kingdom of Tonga

As a sign of respect

People wear Ta’ ovala

to a special place

to avoid family disgrace

To a funeral people wear black

If you don't you're really slack

On top of that you wear a decorated Ta’ ovala to make it flash

Ta’ ovala is passed from generation to generation

sometimes to another nation

Kiekie are the modern style

you wear it to birthdays  

and even down the aisle

Homemade ones are the best

because they beat the rest

They are made from flax

and thats a fact

with lots of love

from deep down in the heart .

Mikayla: Moneywise

Walt: write a response to the talk by Evan.

My thoughts about this is actually making me think about this topic properly. It makes me spend money in the correct way. Evan has taught me how to spend and to handle money. Sometimes I would like to improve the spending that Autymn and I do. I focussed on Evan because he had a really good point and his personality was a funny. It was like he had everyone’s attention. It was helpful for Evan to come to school and to give us advice and information about the benefits and the income. It was nice he shared some of his stories about his spending. I think he had a hard life trying not to spend that much money. Most of the time when I get money from my parents I try to save it, but after a few days I spend it. I would love to improve my spending real fast. My family helps me to save my money or tells me to put it in my bank account. I even put my money in my piggy bank.

Crystal :Prevention is better than Cure

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the Public Health Dept..

This morning we went to a special assembly. It was all about rheumatic fever. Special guests came to our school, Awen Guttenbeil, a few Warriors League team players and nurses like Elizabeth and Kristy. They were all here to tell us about how to prevent rheumatic fever than to cure it.

Rheumatic Fever starts with a sore throat.  The nurses and Dr Alison Leversha that planned this whole thing explained what is rheumatic fever and how you can stop it from happening. Nurses do something very simple to see if you have Rheumatic Fever and they take a swab of your throat.

The Vodafone Warriors helped by doing the swab test. That was very funny and very convincing too. Even the Warriors were telling us kids to tell our parents, doctor or even a public school health nurse. It’s as simple as that.

Awen Guttenbeil told me personally about his experience with rheumatic fever. One day he was lying in bed and he said he couldn't move. He felt paralysed. It was hard for him to walk. That has also happened to me once. I admired Awen because, he didn't let that affect his normal life. Awen took treatment for 10 years. Then finally he was back to normal.

I regret not telling my parents that I had a sore throat way back then. But  I have been  receiving treatment for 10 years and I do what other normal 12 or 13 year old do too.
