Cook Island Language Week!

IALA: the Cook Island Culture and the similarities between my culture and the Cook Island culture.

As you may or may not know, this week is the Cook Island language week so Miss Kyla decided to give us a task related to the culture. Something I enjoyed about this task is that I learnt, not only a lot about the Cook Island culture but also my own as their is a lot of similarities between both cultures. There wasn't anything I didn't enjoy about this task but maybe next time I can try extend my sentences and paragraphs.

Word Story - Calloused.

WALT: try new tasks and new things.

Today for reading Miss Kyla set us to try one of our new tasks which is called Word Story.

For word story, you choose a word you've heard throughout the week that you may not have been familiar with and you research different things about the word such as the definition, words that mean the same etc. 

One thing I enjoy about this task is that you can find out many different things just by focusing on one word. Something I didn't really enjoy was the screencastify past because it wasn't working and it was difficult to film so I left it out.

XtraMath T1W1, Monday.

WALT: Reflect on previous learning sessions.

This term for maths our teacher, Miss Kyla decided to bring back a learning game called "Xtramath" due to the lack in our maths. I feel really proud of myself because I clocked nearly 2 WHOLE levels in just 2 minutes which is really a BIG BIG step if you were to play/learn off Xtramath. I clocked 100% of addition and 91% subtraction which 2 years ago when I was year 6, took me nearly two whole terms where today it only took me a rough 4-6 minutes. Maybe next time I could stay a little focused when doing my subtraction stages because as I was getting tested I started getting a little distracted by my friends but I'm real proud & happy with the score I received today. 

Thank you for taking the time and viewing my blog.

The Lions Vs All Blacks Final Results !

IALT Research and develop new information about world events.

The final game of the All Blacks vs Lions was a joke ( this is from my opinion ). 

From my opinion the final test wasn't fair and the referee wasn't making fair decisions when it came to both teams penalties, knock ons etc. If the game had been more fair, the All Blacks would've had a much more outstanding final score and outcome. But I guess it is what it is, I'm proud of our boys for the work they done on the field last night and I hope that they got good rest. Maybe for next time, the ref should remember whose home field they're playing on and how the rules go, but other than that it was an interesting game to watch.

The Importance of Taha Hinengaro!

IALA: the different health groups of our body.

Have you ever wondered what your kids are talking about when they mention to you something about a 'Te Whare Tapa Wha'? Well here's what it is. Te Whare Tapa Wha is the maori saying for 'The Four Walls Of A House' and the hidden reason and meaning for this is basically the four different health groups in your immune system. The four groups are Taha Tinana (physical health) , Taha Whanau (Relationships), Taha Wairua (spiritual health) and your Taha Hinengaro (mental health). The group I'm going to be telling you about is Taha Hinengaro and the importance of it. The important part about your taha hinengaro is that you have to be aware of all the symptoms and emotions that are about to be thrown at you. There'll be many moments in your life where you may feel like your emotions are being twisted by some evil emotions eater but truth be told it's just how life works and the outrageous thing is, you never stop feeling things. If you're ever going through depression there's many sites you can visit to help get you through your situation. For example:

Depression 

The Lowdown

And more.....

We need to start thinking more about what may happen if our emotions and feelings aren't controlled right, it may lead to serious situations or major injuries.

I hope the information I've given you has helped put thoughts in your mind. Please leave a comment on my blog,

Kia pai to po whanau xx

Whakatauki o te wiki - T2W10

WALT make personal connections to a given whakatauki.

This week the whakatauki we were given was ' Kia here au ki te rangi tuhaha kia tau ate au ki taku taumata' which in english means ' Let me soar to the heavens so that I may reach my potential'.

Something I enjoyed about this Whakatauki was it gave me thoughts about the decisions and goals I may need to start making and setting myself for the future so I'm all set for the harder things about to get thrown at me as I grow.
