Winter Learning Journey - Activity 1

Fact 1

The Past four hundred years before Christopher Columbus and the rest of Europe were scared about falling off the edge of the world ( Which was scary), Maori people sailed a lot of miles across the unknown Pacific going on canoes and became the first place of Aotearoa (New Zealand). To this day, Maori culture is a core part of New Zealand’s national finder.

Fact 2
Becoming one of the locals could be really hard.But once you get to know people more they could even want to be more than friends, They could be be BFF with you. But when your in New Zealand it i really easy to become friends with other people. This might even be your favorite part on your visit. With your new friend you guys could hang out anywhere you guys might even be long life friends.




This is my first activity for the winter learning journey. What we had to d was we had to go  n this site click facts and then find 2 facts about New Zealand. For the winter learning journey we are going to find out facts about NZ.

Winter Solarstic Animation

Today For Inquiry we had to do something about matariki. Me and my partnar Nyjah done the WInter Solerstic. We got info on when it happens and what happens. This was pretty hard doing because it took for ages for me to know what to do next. I really like How nyjah done the drawings because it really suit well for the rest of the slides. Matariki always happens at about June when matariki is about to start. Matariki is the cluster of the seven sisters. There is a lot of diffrent story's to look at for matariki. But the one i'd prefer the most is the one Tony Rolleston done beacause that really entertainded me to know what happens next. I found out that matariki is maori's new year and that they get close together and tell storys. Matariki is mstly commen because when it happens We'd at least have to know about it so then when we grow up we could tell little kids about it. Matariki is one of my favourite celebrations. Matariki is really fun to learn about because the more you know the more you'd get close to known the real story.

Blog Commenting

Today for another part of work I done a blog comment. This is also known as a smart comment. In a Smart Comment there is a Greeting, A Postive Attitude, Suggestion, A Question and a Nice way to finish it of. I done this comment to Avalon beacsue when i saw her animation I thought it really need more detail in it so I picked her to comment on. I think avalon needs to improve and adding more info on the Winter Solorist because she mostly just done A Ground,Sky,Grass,House,Person and then at the very end she added what the earth does. But though it I think Avalon tried her best.

Weight Comparing

Name	Weight (kg)
Marieta	59.8	Our weights
Mele	54.2	59.8+38.4+54.2=48.5=200.9
Fui	38.4
Nyjah	48.5
Gorrila-160	Boeing 787-27,700	Sewing Machine-9.9	Desktop Computer-30
54.2+59.8+48.5= 162.5	59.8 + 48.5 = 108.3	54.2- 45=9.2	38.4-8=30.4

L.I: To Measure out weight scales
Today for maths we got to do our weights. What we had to do was we had to get into our normal groups that Mr Wong done for us and then we had to weight ourslefs. Then on a Google Spreedsheet Everyone had to put there names on and Then our weights. Once we done that we had to get in  a group of 4. In  my group we had Mele,Nyjah,Fui and Myself. Then we had to create another google spreedsheet and add our names onto it a long with our weights. Then  we had to compare our weights to a gorilla, A Boeing 787 then the other 2 was our choice. We done a sewing machine and a desktop computar. All of our weights had to be included. We also had to do a lot of researching to find out the weigths. 

Tamaki Rap - Plastic

What we done first was we got into groups of 4 and then line up in rows of our group. I was group 3. Then the 2  teachers called Daughter and Lix set us up at a table and at my table there were 2 sets of paper,A Stapler. Some scissors,Glue sticks, Magazines and boxes of leaves.What we had to do was on the paper we had to find none plastic places and then cut the magazines then we had to glue it on the paper. We wanted to decorate it so we stapled some leaves on. Then it was time to rotate. At our next table We had to glue rubbish on papper but try to make a stadium out of it. BUt for this one we diddn't have enough green.On Our next table we were with Miss Lix. What we done theres was we learnt about turtles on what would happen if they'd eat to much plastic. The answer was DIE what we had to do was we had to glue rubbish on the turtles tummy and on this one Joseph,Alex and Aung Naing Drawed on the turtles face which mad e the turtle look weird. On our last table we Were with Mrs Daughter. We had to draw stuff on what we could use instead of plastic. BUt instead of drawing We instead used the matirial to make a bag and more. At the end 2 people groups and to go up nest to the stage and show what we have been doing. I had really fun doing this because i got to learn the bad thins about plastic.

Venn Diagram and Current Events

LI: To engage with current events

Today for reading we had to do a Venn Diagram and a Current events. What we had to do was we had to make a copy of our Venn diagram. Then we had to find 2 new articals that were the same. The site we had to find the same articals wasd KiwiKidsNews and NZ Herald. Or else we could just find it on KiwiKidsNews. Once we done that we had to Write on one circle the info from KiwiKidsNews then on the other circle we had to write down the other info we got from NZ Herald. Once we were done with that then we had to do current events. FOr this one we had to choose a diffrent artical.  I done 2 billion people use facebook. I picked this one becasue i wanted to knew why this happend and how it happend. For the venn diagram I done Google got $3.7 billion fine. I done that one becasue i was intrested why google got $3.7 billion fine. The thing that was hard doing was my Venn diagram beacasue doing the both on google a bit hard for me. The easiast thing to do was my Current events because i'm a bit used to doing it and it was easy for me to use my brain more when i'm at home.
