LI: to list 3 things that are important to me.
For this task we had to list 3 things that are very important to us and explain why they are so important to us. Here are the three things that are most important to me:
Family
Family will always support you no matter what. They will never not love you and there is no possible way that they will hate you, even though they say they do. They can support, give advice and help us through things on the way through life. They will always be there for us no matter what.
Friends
Friends are people that will forever love you for you. They will not want you to change and they will love you for how you are now. They will support you and throw positivity your way and make your day a one in a billion!
Health
Health is one of the key things that keep you alive. They include the qualities of all your everyday needs. They help expand your life-span and the healthier you are, the more opportunities! Health includes the healthy food you eat, the kind of drinks you drink, how you care for your hygiene and how you look after yourself.

LI: to recreate our name.
For this task, we had to imagine we had ONE chance to change our name. We had to make up a different name and explain why we chose to change our name to what we had chosen to change it too.
The name I chose to change it to would be Oakleyn. I would choose this name because it is a very unique name. I would also have chosen name because sure, Oak is the name of the most common tree kind but it is the kind of trees that are mostly covering the earth. I also think this name is quite catchy and fits my personality and look.

Summer Learning Journey | Day 2 | Activity 3 | Up in the air | Miracle on Hudson
LI: to recount when you or somebody you know has done something brave.
For this task, we have to explain and recount a time that we or somebody we know has been brave or has done something brave, like overcoming a major fear or finally doing something for the first time.
Last term, we were learning about plays, production and theatre. We were in groups for this. Each group was given their own play to learn. We had to know the script, the actions and the movement to the play and try produce a fully understandable play using the script. We had one week to finish practising and acting our plays then we would preform our plays in front of the rest of the acting groups.
We did our acting inside the class and we had no script to read off. Once it was my groups turn, we all stood up and got into our places. The story-line was how a bunch of lazy superheroes argue about who saves the world on lazy Sunday. A monster is about to dominate the world and all the superheroes can do is argue. The monster is finally free and destroys the city. I played as the monster. I had to act evil, rough and mischievous.
I entered the stage, trying to make myself look as big as I could. My heart was pounding and in front of an audience, I was shaking. I had to stomp onto the ground and wave my arms around like a crazed octopus! When it was my turn to get off the stage, I walked nervously and embarrassed away from the audience.
I found that this was a brave experience because I have deep stage fright and I can easily forget something which in this case would possibly have been the script. With having a lot of the attention on me was frightening and nerve-racking.
Thanks to Mr Ogilvie for allowing us to try over-come our stage fright and giving us the opportunity to take part in group plays and theatre. Over this, we have learnt about theatrical acting and performance.

LI: To list 10 food items that I would choose to take on a 3-week voyage.
This is Day 1 Activity 1 of the Summer Learning Journey. In this task, we had to imagine that we had the opportunity to join a Nainoa voyage for a total of three weeks. We would have to pack our own food for the voyage. We needed to list 10 food items that we would take on the trip. Voyages don't have fridges or freezers, so cold-stored food!
Here are the 10 food items I would bring on this Nainoa voyage and why:
1. Fruit
I would take this because it does not require the assistance of fridges or freezers. There is also a big supply of fruit. Fruit like oranges, mandarins, apples, and bananas grow on plants and they do not use fridges or freezers. I also very much enjoy eating fruit so I won't starve or get hungry a lot. This would be a healthy lunch item. Fruit contains a lot of healthy vitamins.
2. Oats
Oats are a healthy meal. It includes Phosphorus, Copper, Manganese, Vitamin B1, Iron, Selenium, Magnesium, and Zinc which are all vitamins that help the body. It does not need a fridge or freezer and it is easy to eat.

The coconut meat is very healthy and it contains good nutrients and it has a lot of vitamins and fibre such as vitamin C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6. It also includes minerals like Iron, Selenium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorous. The coconut shells can be used to catch rain and drink.
6. Salt
Salt helps aid the fish and is able to store it for later or another time without it becoming rotten. It can also help heal any bad parts of the fish.
7. Live Chickens
Chickens can be used for supply in chicken meat and eggs! They can provide eggs and meat once taken care of. Chicken contains B-complex, Niacin, B3, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus and Zinc.

Maths | Fractions of Sets
In Maths, we learnt how to use fractions of sets. If you want to find the unit fraction of a set, you must the set by the number of groups. We wrote two examples of halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths and tenths. Here are some examples from my book:
Halves:
Set size: 8 - Fraction: Halves.
8 ÷ 2 = 4
One half of 8 is 4.
Thirds:
Set size: 21 - Fraction: Thirds.
21 ÷ 3 = 7
One third of 21 is 7.
Quarters:
Set size: 44 - Fraction: Quarters.
44 ÷ 4 = 11
One quarter of 44 is 11.
Fifths:
Set size: 100 - Fraction: Fifths.
25 ÷ 5 = 5.
One fifth of 100 is 20.
Tenths:
Set size: 200 - Fraction: Tenths.
200 ÷ 10 = 20.
One tenth of 200 is 20.

Summer Learning Journey | Teaser Week | Activity 1 | Lorde Biography
LI: to create a biography.
This week is the Teaser Week for the Summer Learning Journey. The first activity was to give a biography of Lorde and give information about who she is. For this activity, I used Canva and gave information that answered questions within different categories. Questions like: Who is Lorde? What does she like doing? What was Lorde's first song? What is Lorde's real name? What other things does Lorde enjoy?
This year's theme for the Summer Learning Journey is 'Changemakers' which means we learn about the people from the past and in history who changed the present and fate of the world and made it how it is now.
I really enjoyed this activity because I really enjoy making character biographies and explaining their history! This is also a very good way to top up my information about people around the world.

Commenting
This week, I commented on Afatia's writing which was her hook. She is writing narratives for her writing task and her hook has drawn me in. I found her blogpost and hook interesting.
Writing | Narrative | Hook
This term, we have been learning about narratives and imaginative writing. Before we started to write narratives, we were given a choice to either get an idea of the narrative or write everything in the narrative without any help. I was the only one to choose the second option so I started to write my narrative before anybody else.
This story is a work in progress and it is about the apocalypse but with a slight twist. The twist is that all the adults have become the zombies! It is still a possible that children alone can survive but there is a high chance of being swallowed by the virus. The image above is the hook to my story.
A hook captures the readers attention instantly is something that is interesting to make the reader want to more of the story. We were able to include onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia are sounds or sound effects and some have made up spellings. Examples of Onomatopoeia are: Hakrrtt! and Slash!

Maori | Time In Maori
LI: to tell time in Maori
In Maori we learnt how to tell different times using Maori language. We had to use Clock Face Generator to create the times and we had to translate the Maori times to English and set the clock face time to the labelled time and put it on this google doc.
Cybersmart | Smart & Legal Images
LI: to explain how to find a legal image.
In Cyber smart, we continued to learn about legal and illegal images. In pairs, we had to make a DLO (digital learning object) and explain how to find a legal image. There are 3 ways to find legal images. They are: The Slow way, The faster way and The super speedy way. My partner and I chose to explain the super speedy way. My partner was Farzana and we made a slideshow+quiz.
Legal images
A legal image is an image that is appropriate for public and you have permission and rights to use it. To find out if it is a legal image, read the license of that site and it will explain if you have permission to use it.
Illegal images
An illegal image is an image you have no permission or right to use and it is inappropriate. Read the license to find out if you have any permission to use the image. Make sure that any images you use are appropriate for your age and under.
Attributions
It is important to attribute images because it gives credit to the owner. It is also because the owner of the image has taken the time, effort and maybe even money to create or take the photo/image.
Kiwi Sport | Rally | Singles
LI: to learn how to play singles.
This week in Kiwi Sport we played singles rally. Last week we did doubles rally so this week we did the same thing but in singles. A rally is when players play against each other and they continue to hit the ball to each side and only allowing one bounce a time on each players side.
Singles
To play singles, we were in groups and there were champions and challengers. The challenger would serve to the champions and they were only allowed the ball to bounce once on their side at a time. If it bounces twice in a row then they were out and the next person would become the challenger. If the ball hits the net then it would mean the person in the front of the line in the group would become the next challenger. To become the champion, the challenger would have to trick or get the champion out.

Kiwi Can | Respecting others | Desires & Needs | Differences
LI: to respect others for their desires and needs.
In Kiwi Can we had a short recap of what we were learning this term. We talked about how others have their own desires and needs and what makes others different to us. A desire is one thing you really really want and a need is something you must have whether you want it or not. We played a game called 'Mirror, mirror'.
Energiser - Mirror, Mirror
To play this game, you have to go into two lines and face the other line so that there is a gap in the middle and everyone has a person to face. Then one side becomes the mirror and the other side is the person looking into the mirror. The mirror has to copy whatever the other person does on the opposite side. Example: If the person looking into the mirror puts their left hand up, the mirror has to put their right hand up. This linked to what we were talking about by how we can respect what others want to do and their actions towards us.
Activity - Elimination
We played in groups of 4 for this game. One person in the group was facing the other three and the other three people in the group were in a line facing the one specific person in front. The person in front of the line had a ball and had to pass it to the person in front then pass it back. Then that person would go to the back of the line and continue until back to the beginning of the line and everyone was in their original place but the second person in line had to attempt to shoot a ball.

Te Reo Maori | Maori language
LI: to understand and translate more about the Maori language.
This week we were in pairs and we learnt about the different days of the week and months of the year in Maori language and traditional speech. We had to make a copy of this document and re-arrange the the Maori labels of the days of the week in order. We had to use the Maori Dictionary to do this. We also had to rearrange the traditional language labels. We had to answer 2 questions below the table using the traditional Maori language.
Next, we translated all twelve months of the year. Like the days of the week, we had to arrange the assimilation names to the correct order and we had to do that with traditional names as well. We then had to translate 5 random dates and answer the question, 'When was your birthday?' in traditional Maori language.

In Maths, we have been creating our paper planes. We had to choose our plane designs using the book called 'Ultimate Gigantic Paper Planes'. We would have to remove the paper used for folding out of the book and follow the instructions step by step to complete our plane. The plane I am doing is called 'Turbo Twister'. In my design I only have a maximum of 10 steps.
We have also been learning to do fractions of sets. We started by dividing sets into halves and quarters. We needed to find out the unit fractions for the sets.
Fractions - A fraction is a whole object divided into equal pieces.
Fractions of sets - Fractions of sets is a whole set of objects divided into equal sized groups of objects.
Unit fraction - A unit fraction is when you have one piece of a fraction or the numerator is 1.
How to find a unit fraction of a set - To find the unit fraction of a set I must divide the set by the number of groups.
