Digital Technolgy

For the past few weeks we have been doing our digital technology hurumanu. At the start of this hurumanu we had to either choose to work in groups or work by ourselves. I chose to work in a group with Myself, Shelby, Tasharn, Felicity and Ella. Our issue is that the rubbish that gets dumped into the ocean is affecting our aquatic wildlife, which is why we need to stop it. Our issue is classed under social and enviromental issues. We are going to use the sphero robots to get through a "under water" maze that me and my group made. Once we have finished the map I will post a photo of the finished product and also a video of us completing the maze.

PE Hurumanu

For the past few weeks we have been doing our PE hurumanu. In our groups we had to choose a sport and teach the class about that sport. My groups name is the Celtics and we chose Basketball. We showed our class this week and I think it was pretty successful because the class mostly listened to what we had to say except for when we told them they had to do lots of warm ups. I helped with the warm ups which were lunges, grapevines, star jumps and 3 laps around the gym. If I could change something the we should do next time I would pick a sport that we all know how to play. I learnt that Basketball is basically netball but you are aloud to dribble the ball. I also learnt most of the rules too so I could teach my friends and my brother. I think that this hurumanu was very fun and exciting for me and my class.

Hurumanu PE

This week and last week for PE we have been working lot's of different things. We have been doing maths and our chosen sports with our teams. On Monday the first team shared their sport, they chose Bench Ball. Earlier in the year in another hurumanu we learnt how to play Bench Ball and so we got to play it again. The team that was running the Bench Ball made us do warm ups, drills and then games. I wasn't here for the warm ups and the first drill but the second drill we did was Sneak Up Granny. The first game we played was Tz yr 8's vs Bh yr 8's and then it was the same with the year 7's. Then. after lunch we played all yr 8's vs all year 7's, the year 8's won. last week we did maths as well because this sport hurumanu also involves maths and writing. For the maths we had to work out how many cans of paint we would need to paint four whole football fields. The maths was really tricky and my group hasn't finished yet. We used some multiplication strategies and some addition strategies. I think this week I worked pretty well with my team even though I had a little disagreement with them about our sport. The graduate profile subject chose to work on was to understand how my feelings and actions effect others and I think I did this by encouraging my teammates on and not getting too frustrated.

Community Circles

Today we had to make a blog post about a thing we do called community circles. I worked with my best friend Shelby on this piece of work. We do community circles because it gets us to think about our emotions. Here is my slideshow! Enjoy.

P.E Hurumanu

This week for P.E Hurumanu we have been working on the sport that we chose for our groups. As you know my groups name is Celtics and we chose Basketball as our sport. We had to use a document full of questions that we had to answer questions like what two drills will you practice? The first drill we did was defending crossovers. What we had to do was stand in two lines, one line had a ball and the person in front tried to shoot and the first person in the other line would defend, then you would switch lines. The second drill was basically the same but what we had to do was stand in one big line and the first person would stand at a certain point and shoot from there. I think I worked well with my team today by cheering them on while they had their shot. I also helped one specific person in my team by helping them up when they tripped.

Hurumanu Sport

This week for hurumanu we started sport with Miss Simpson. We did fitness testing and the beep test. We did fitness testing because we are doing it again later in this hurumanu and we are going to see if our scores are different. First we did sit ups, I did ten. Then we did a sit and reach test. For that we had to sit with our feet with against a box and then push a bit of wood as far as we can, I got 10.2 centimetres. After that we did hand grip tests, you had to hold a metal grip and squeeze them together, I got one. The last thing we did was the vertical jump. You had to stand sideways up against the wall and then reach your arm up as high as you can then you had to jump as high as you can and record that. When I did it I got 1.9 standing and 2.2 jumping. Today we did the beep test and my score was 5.1 which I think was pretty good. I think I worked pretty well with my team which are called the Celtics. I think I have to improve on my breathing while I'm running because It hurts really bad after. I will work on this buy deep breathing and stretching afterwards. I helped everyone when we were doing the beep test by cheering them on.

The Years of Living Dangerously (Film, 59 min.)

Hurumanu Art

This term for hurumanu we have been doing art. Today was our last session because we only have a half day on Thursday. We have been working on our learning stories for art and we were doing a stop motion that shows manaakitanga. My group did a stop motion about a group of girls at a school and one of the girls is very generous. She gives so much but then she forgets about herself. My group didn't finish the video so there is nothing to show.

Hurumanu Art

Today for art we are working on our narratives for our stop motions. We had to pick a buddy from the other class and work with them to edit their writing and my own. Here is my finished narrative.

The three excited girls walked to school that morning. It was the first day of school for them,

they were starting middle school. Sylvie, the girly girl of the group, loved clothes and make up,

and she was also SUPER rich! Meadow was the sporty one out of all the girls. She liked playing all sorts of sports and she was sort of rich because of Sylvie. Amber was an average girl who had no

special talent. Ambers family was poor but Sylvie supported her. But one day everything was going to change…

After class had finished all the girls were going to hang out but then Amber said “ I have to go

to a study group” The girls said “ Ok bye” Sylvie and Meadow went to the field and had a picnic. Sylvie had a surprise for Meadow. Once the girls had eaten her yummy snack

Sylvie had a present for

Meadow. Meadow said “Thanks Sylvie” “Your welcome” said Sylvie. Meadow was about to open her present but then the bell rang. “ I will open it when I get home” Exclaimed

Meadow. When period 5 had finished everyone in the school went home. Meadow wanted to run home because she was excited to open her present. When meadow got home she ran

straight to her room and went to her desk. When she opened the present she gasped. “AIRPODS!!!!” she shouted. The next day when the girls were at school Meadow ran

up to Sylvie she gave her a hug and said “ THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!” 

The next day Sylvie had gotten a present for Amber. It was in a similar pretty box, like

the one that she got Meadow. Amber was so pleased when she found our that Sylvie

had gotten her a new car! Amber was so happy she wanted to thank Sylvie, but

she was gone! Amber asked Meadow if she had seen Sylvie but she hadn't. They looked everywhere

for her but by the time they started, it was time to go home. 

When Amber and Meadow got to school that morning they saw something they

didn’t think they wanted to see. Sylvie was wearing a paper bag dress, no shoes and her hair was in a mess. They asked what happened and Sylvie replied in a weak voice “ I ran out of

money to buy food and clothes” So Meadow and Amber made a plan. “ We should give back the gifts that we got from Sylvie to the store she got them from and give her that

money” Said Meadow. “That’s a great idea!” exclaimed Amber. So after school

Amber and Meadow walked to the shops where she got them from and got over

$100,000 for Sylvie to buy food and clothes. So after school Amber and Meadow walked to the shops where she

got them from and got over $100,000 for Sylvie to buy food and clothes. They

ran up to Sylvie and gave her the money and said “ We thought you needed

this to survive” “Thank you!” She whispered. 

This was the story of the Kindness Boomerang.

Water Cycle

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	Yes	Yes	Yes
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	3	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Other comments:

1. Bag 1 cycled water.

2. Bag 1 had a small amount of water.

3. The acidity of bag 1 was low.

1. Bag 2 cycled water.

2. Bag 2 had a small amount of water.

3. The acidity of bag 2 was large.

1. Bag 3 cycled water.

2. Bag 3 had a small amount of water.

3. The acidity of bag 3 was small.

Conclusion:

Bag 1- In conclusion for bag 1 I think that the water cycle worked fine.

Bag 2- In conclusion for bag 2 I think that it could have gone better.

Bag 3- In conclusion for bag 3 I think that it worked just as well as it could have.

Materials:

Water - Soda Water

Bags

Food Colouring

Litmus Paper

Vivid - Permanent Maker

Sand

Steps:

Step 1- Draw the water cycle on both bags.

Step 2- Pour a cup of normal water in one bag and a cup of soda water on the other.

Step 3- Add food colouring to both bags.

Art Hurumanu

For the end of last term and for the start of this term my class and tz have been working on hurumanu art. We are making stop motions with either whiteboard drawings or clay making. We have a theme called manaakitanga. Manaakitanga means being kind, generous, helpful and lots of other things. My group is doing whiteboard drawings and are doing generosity. The people in my group are Me, Neveah and Danni. Here is the first bit of our stop motion.

How to play Ki O Rahi

This term for PE we have been learning KI O Rahi. As you know Ki O Rahi is a historic Maori game. Our whole class had to make a presentation of how to play Ki O Rahi. Enjoy my presentation.

How to play Ki-O-Rahi:

Step 1: The first thing you need to do in a game of Ki-O-Rahi you have to make 2 teams of 7 .

Step 2: Make the playing field for the game. In the playing field you will need:

*Check vocabulary for the meaning of these words

1. Tupu
2. 7 Pou
3. Ki

Step 3: At the start of a game you have to throw the ball in the air and both players have to try and hit it.

Step 4: At half time both teams swap there positions from *Taniwha to *Kioma And *Kioma to *Taniwha.

Helpful tips:

Everytime Kioma hits the *pou that is a point but to gain those points you need to touch down.

When Taniwha has the ball the need to have 4 people in the zone to be able to shot. You are able to have as many turns as you want.

Music Hurumanu

This week for music hurumanu we had to research the types of music from the 1900's to the 2010's. Me and my partner Paige from Tz, made our slides together. Here is a link to her blog. http://shspaiged.blogspot.com/
I hope you enjoy our slides.

We're On Each Others Team/ PE Hurumanu

For the past few weeks we have been doing PE. We have been playing some small practical games to get ready for Ki O Rahi. Ki O Rahi is historic Maori game that they play to have fun. We played a similar game to Ki O Rahi can't remember what its called but it was fun. Today we actually played 
 Ki O Rahi and it was more fun than the similar one. So I like the hurumanu! Here is a photo!

ASMR

Today for music we had to watch two ASMR videos. ASMR is either satisfying or disgusting. We watched both types of AMSR and most people liked the satisfying version better than the disgusting one. Here are some questions we had to answer.

1. Have you heard of ASMR before?
Yes I think on youtube.

2.What did you feel when you listened to the ASMR music?
I felt very tingly like when you have pins and needles.

3. Is this something you would like to try making?
Yes, because it would sound very satisfying.
