Adrienne- Inquiry Art / Kowhaiwhai Design

The artist I chose was the Suluape family they are famous for doing stuff like Pe'as(Tattoo) and Malu. They are so professional that they make sure that everything is perfect and also makes sure that all the lines are nice and straight. I bet you that most or nearly everybody trust people from the Suluape family for doing stuff like Malu's cause they are careful but also know what they are doing. I reckon that If was one of those girls who'd be dying to get a Malu at a young age I would be saving heaps of money just to get a Malu even tho it costs heaps of money. Many or some people celebrate after you get your malu or pe'a done.

DMIC Maths and Rotations

For the past weeks my maths class Rm3 has been doing DMIC. DMIC stands for Development Mathematical Inquiry Community. We have been doing this since the start of term 1. But in term 1 we had a different teacher so we had some changes we had a boys and a girls group normally everyday we would always switch and see who’s doing DMIC Maths and who’s doing Rotations.

What is Rotations?

Now I’ve already explained to you what DMIC is and now I’m going to explain to you what Rotations are. Rotations is what we do in class when you are not doing DMIC Maths with teachers. What we do for Rotations is DLO, Basic facts, or FIOP.

What is DLO, BASIC FACTS, AND FIOP?

If yous are wondering what DLO, BASIC FACTS, and FIOP is well I’m going to explain now.

No.1  DLO, DLO is what we call Hyperstudio once you get to year 7&8 the name will change and it will be a little different. DLO stands for Digital Learning Objects.

No.2  Basic facts, What is basic facts?...Basic facts is what you do if you can’t remember your Times table so then the teacher will tell you to learn it until you actually know them of by heart.

No.3  FIOP, What does FIOP stand for? FIOP stands for Finish it of properly our class always does FIOP our teacher always makes sure that all of our work has been upto date.

In our maths class we have a chart with all our names on it our teacher always makes sure that everyone is on the list and that nobody will miss out. So everyday my teacher will go on the random number generator and pick out who has to do their times tables. But there's only 1 rule and it is a very strict rule if you don’t learn your times tables and tell your teacher that you don’t know them you will be on Re-think.

What is rethink?

Rethink is what teachers in team 5 run it’s more like detention but you don’t really write down lines but you have to clean and rethink about what you did or why you didn’t do it.

So what do you say….Does your school do DMIC Maths or Rotations??

Read through my writing about DMIC Maths and Rotations and see if its a good idea for your school or not.

• • Introduction

  What’s more perfect than singing?

  Having fun on a road trip is amazing….The movie ‘Carpool Karaoke’ was made by room 23 and Ms King at Pt England School. It is a comedy movie which took place in a car.

  
  

  • Summary of the story

  Carpool karaoke is a movie that is based on music and dancing. It has all kinds of music like….GUCCI GANG. It has students and teachers dancing and singing to music. Our favourite song that we picked out was Boo’d up by Ella Mai. During the Carpool Karaoke Keyana couldn’t stop singing, dancing and having heaps of fun with all her friends and teachers. In the movie the main character(s) is Keyana she is the who sits on the driver's seat.

  
  
  

  • Analysis of the plot/story elements
  • What we noticed was that there were heaps of kids coming in and out of the and joining the fun. Some teachers were wanted to join some fun to so Keyana invited some teachers from DA BLOCK like...Mr Moran, Ms King, and Ms Moran.

  
  
  
  

  • Creative elements used in the movie

  The camera was standing on the dash and there were heaps of kids and teachers swaping in and out but there was only one person that stayed in the driver's seat.
  

  
  
  

  • Your Opinion of the film

  Carpool karaoke was an enthusiastic movie. In the movie we thought that there were very good expressions and good actions. Watching this movie really encouraged us to get up and have some fun.

Title	What makes a good leader?
Introduction	Have you ever imagined what it feels like to become a leader?Leaders are really lucky because they know what the wrong and right is. A leader is a Hard Worker, Never gives up, Brave person
Information 1st idea	Hard Work Firstly, an awesome leader is a person who works hard to get the job done and dusted. Example: If your family needed for a funeral or wedding the person to stand up and find the answer to that problem.
Information 2nd idea	Never give up Secondly, A leader is a person who keeps going and never gives up no matter what happens to them. Example:Imagine being in a race and your coming last they will keep going and they will never give up until they are at the finish line.
Information 3rd idea	Brave No matter what a leader is forced or told to do they ain’t scared of anything. They have the right to stand up and speak out no matter what the person looks like. Example: When you see somebody been bullied a leader will always be the first one there to help that person.
Conclusion	Are leaders perfect? What do you think about leaders? I think that A leader may not be perfect but they still have become leaders for a good reason.

24 hour clock

Through out the past term including this week my group has been learning the 24 hour clock in room 3 maths.

CROSS COUNTRY DAY!!

YAY CROSS COUNTRY!! If you guessed that I just finished running, then your correct. Because it was week 8, which also meant that it was nearly cross country our school was getting ready for the day to come. But then the day was here on Friday the 21st of September 2018 our school had Cross Country it was a really exciting run but nervous for some people. Everyone were at the courts sitting at their year and gender groups.

When everybody was settled we got the prefects and house captains up but first of all we did Mihi and Karakia(Prayer). Mr Burt stood in the front of everyone and spoke for a few minutes. Then Ms V, our school sport teacher spoke for a few minutes too, about what we should be doing but my year didn’t really need a reminder it might have just been for the year 1 to 4. After a few minutes, we started getting up the kids and when the years 1 to 4 finished everyone from years 5 to 8 got to move up and see a better view.

At the end of the race I was really proud of myself because I tried my personal best even though I didn’t come the places I was hoping to come I thought that it wasn’t really about coming 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. But then I found out that it was all about trying.
