Nursery Rhymes

Humpty Dumpty

Discreetly, Humpty Dumpty sat on the Wall

Coincidentally, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the King’s horses and all the King’s men observed, and blurted they couldn’t put Humpty together again. So they all pondered how to put Humpty together again.

We are learning to use interesting language in our writing. Our task was to chose a well known nursery rhyme, after that we had to try use interesting words. These words are : Coincidence, Discreetly, Observed, Blurted and Ponder. But to use the words sufficiently, we had to learn what they meant. So After finding the definition of each word, I started writing the nursery rhyme and along the way I selected places to put each word.

Maths Problems 2

WALT: Solve measurement, algebra and fraction problems

This week, we are learning to solve measurement, algebra and fraction problems. It was a pretty easy task as soon as you figured how to solve each slide or problem. I thought the perimeter slides were the easier than the rest of the presentation. So I think that perimeters and sometimes areas are part of my strengths in Maths. Thanks for visiting my blog :)

History of McDonald's

What is the History of McDonald’s

McDonald’s,a common fast food restaurant whose menu is made up of many types of burgers and flavoured drinks. Nowadays, McDonald’s and KFC are just two of eight fast food restaurants that have conquered New Zealand.

Let me explain to you the amazing history of McDonald’s. Many fast food chains are invented years back, just recently was invented Nutella and Spaghetti, at a Italian Restaurant in Australia

Did you know that McDonald’s was established on the 15th of April 1955. It was invented by an American Businessman Ray Kroc, who’s full name is Raymond Albert Kroc.

Ray Kroc got involved with the Californian Chain McDonald’s in 1954. He then built it into a nationwide business, and eventually a global franchise. Which made it the most successful fast food corporation in the world.

Unfortunately, Mr Kroc died on January 14th in 1984 but he never stopped working for McDonald’s. His legacy continues on to this day as the corporation continuously supplies customers with great tasting inexpensive food.

In summary, McDonald’s, one of the most popular fast food restaurant in New Zealand was invented by a Great Successful Businessman Ray Kroc. And that is the history of McDonald’s, my dear readers.

Maths Problems

For this task, we had two success criterias which were :

- Use BEDMAS to solve equations with more than one operation

- Use Basic facts knowledge to solve addition and multiplication problem. I had no problems completing this task, because I had previously done this activity involving BEDMAS.

Seat Belts

WALT: Look for clues in the text to helps us make meaning when we interfer. Using the Process of elimination to find the best fit answer.
 
This week for literacy, our learning target for this week is to look for clues provided in the text to help us make meaning when we interfer. Our second text is about seatbelts, by reading it you were automatically persuaded to wear a seat belt the next time you're in a car.

The Hero Within

WALT: Look for clues in the text to help us make meaning when we interfer. Use the process of elimination to find the 'best fit' answer.
                                           This week for Literacy, our learning focus is we are learning to look for clues provided in the text to help us make meaning when we interfer. Anyway, Our text this week is about a girl who has been suffering from Grave disease for the past two years. Well she is still recovering, she came back to school where she harassed daily by two girls. Thanks for visiting my blog :)

Identify Fractions

WALT: Identify fractions : part of a whole
                                     This week, we are learning to identify fractions, so during the test we are abled to answer the fractions questions in the test. In my opinion, it refreshed my memory that involves fractions. Because, honestly fractions are not one of my greatest strength.

Different Strategies to Solve Problems

WALT: Use Different strategies to solve maths problems
             
This week, we are learning to use different strategies to solve maths problems. In my opinion, by learning multiple strategies to solve maths problems and word problems, this will help us during the test. In the presentation above, I didn't find any hard problems but it did refresh my memory.           

Parts of a Orchestra

                                      For this Term, our term topic is Musical Madness. Our Term Focus Question is 'How do Composers use music to evoke an emotional response in a Audience ?'. This Week, we are researching information an parts of a orchestra. Instruments in a Orchestra are divided into specially sections where they perform. For an Example : The Violins are divided, Cellos are on the right outer side, and The First & Second Violins are on the left outer side.

Inference

WALT: Making Inferences from a text
                                    This week, we are learning to make inferences from a text. Inferences means making a conclusion or assumption based upon using evidence, reasoning, or logic. My opinion on the text is that it was very amusing and sometimes tricky trying to make a inference, based only upon evidence from the text.

Extenstion Project Reflection

This term for our Extension Project, we had the opportunity to create projects with Makey Makey Kits. Joined by Zoey from OMG Tech, we were able to create these projects.

My Team and I created a Game show using Makey Makey. Fortunately for me, our game show didn’t just consist of just coding. Our Game show had the least amount of coding in all of our projects. It was mostly had create jobs in it such as, making the buzzers, cards for the host to read off and other jobs too.

My opinion of the projects is that it was really amusing creating the buzzers and experimenting with it. While making the buzzers, We used materials like : Playdough, Aluminium Tin foil, Wires and Paper.

Lessons I learned from this Project were :

• Working Better as a Team
• Letting our Imagination Free
• Last but not least how to experiment and amuse yourself.

Qualities of a Good Role Model

Qualities of a Good Role Model

A Good Role Model, a person who represents as an example for others to follow. Role Models can sometimes become people who characterise themselves in good principals and respect. Let me explain to you the amazing qualities of a good role model. Good Role Models are shown throughout history.  

A spectacular female role model through history was Kate Shepard. This outstanding Lady was recognised as the leader of the fight, for New Zealand women to have the right to vote. She won the fight and alongside achieving women the right to vote in New Zealand, therefore shows great girl power and is a great role model for women and young girls.

A Good Role Model is a person who is respectful, encouraging, confident, positive, calm and funny. Being a Good Role Model isn’t an easy job, there is a lot of responsibility and sometimes pressure accompanied by the status. While being a good role model, teachers sometimes depend on you to be an example. For an example: Imagine that you’re in class during a lesson, the Teacher uses you as an example.

Another fact about being a good role model is selflessly helping someone else. Selflessly helping someone means helping someone else without thinking about yourself first. Nowadays, only a distinctive amount of the public can help people selflessly.

But the most important quality of a good role model is that they must be someone who can be modesty and openness to admit to their mistakes. Only a few people can be modest and willing to admit that they made a mistake.

In my opinion, I think that a Good Role Model needs to be someone who makes mistakes. Because by making mistakes, the person can learn from them and advise others from not making the same.

In this explanation, I have explained the qualities of a Good Role Model. Just a reminder, a Good role model needs to be someone who has good principals and respectful.Now that you know about the qualities of a Good Role Model, please feel free to take the time and identify some Good Role Models in your life.

Multiplicaton Strategy in Parts

It's approximately nearly testing week and in order to prepare, everyone in their maths class are practising their problem solving strategy. In this week's presentation, we are learning to use strategy Multiplication in parts with larger numbers. My opinion on this task are that it was a great way of refreshing our minds on this strategy.

Niue Language Week !!

Did you know it’s Niuean Language Week? To celebrate this special occasion, the Niuean Students and Teachers of Point England School had prepared a performance for Assembly this Friday. 

The Theme for Niue Language week is ‘Ko e Vagahau Niue ko e Atefua he Tagata Niue’ which means ‘The Niue Language is the Heart of Niue People’. 

By making an inference, I think by saying ‘The Niue Language is the Heart of Niue People’ it might mean being able to speak your mother tongue is special and should be treasured. 

Nowadays many Old & Young people can’t speak their mother tongue. For your information (FYI), Mother's tongue means the language you knew when you were born. 

An interesting fact about New Zealand is that New Zealand is a multi cultural country, meaning you get the amazing opportunity of learning about other languages and cultures.
