Math task, area of shapes.

Hello Blogger.

This week I will be sharing my math with you. My goal was Use a variety of strategies to calculate the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. If you don't know what that is, it's how many mini squares are in an object. We did this for 3 shapes: Rectangles, Triangles and Parallelogram. For our DLO we had to create drawing  about it. Hope you enjoy it.

What are you learning in Maths?

Treaty of Waitangi

This week we have been learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. After we had gathered our research we had to do a DLO. That stands for digital learning object. My group did a google drawing that resembled how the British lied to the Maori. The sold sign is there for when the British stole the land. I hope you enjoy my picture.

What do you think about Waitangi day?

First Blog in 2020

This year as it begins I'm really excited to be sharing my working with you. This year I am a year 7 at St Francis of Assisi school.

In the holidays me, and my extend family went to a place called Mapua. My favorite thing that I did there was jump off a Warf and my towel hat that I got. We also went to Rabbit Island which was a beach. It had bright blue water and HOT sand. One day I wish I could go back to Mapua. 

This year I'm looking forward to all the opportunities as a senior at my school. I am going to try do as many things as possible. Also I'm excited for being in Kapa haka and other events at school. Some other things that I'm excited this year is Tough kids, the Fair, all the fun day outs and Top team. 

My hopes for the year are to get into Canterbury's for Athletics, Cross Country and Duathlon. Also I want to become better at my Maths and Handwriting skills. In addition I don't want to lose anything this year like I have been doing in the pass. I want to be focus this year as well. 

What are you excited for this year at school?

Dear Henry Martino,
I am writing this because I am very disappointed in the way that you made me go to War. I had to leave my family and I might never see them again. It stinks at War. The stress levels are so high I can’t even tell you about it. Not going to sleep because of having the thought of being night raided or if we left to go to another location. Why didn’t you have to go to War. Why didn’t we just stay in our country and if they come to us then we protect. I could of done what you doing. You can hardly eat and who you said would be the best person go shot 2 weeks ago. I hope you get this and realised to bring us home. 

Sincerely, Excited Ethan.

What do you think about WW1?

Living in the Trenches!!!!!

For writing we are doing letter writing we had to write a letter to someone in our family about how we were in the Trenches in WW1. This is an informal letter. The other letter is called a formal letter. The difference is the start of it. For a formal you would do you email addres and other stuuff but for an imformal you don't. Here is mine hope you enjoy.

 Dear Dad HELP ME!

 It is disgusting in these trenches. Every 10 seconds a pile of mud falls on me. We are always on the move moving from trench to trench. I can hardly sleep, scared of any night attacks. We are all tired so the trenches get smaller and smaller. Coll is panicking because the last 3 nights we had to eat Rats the size of Cats. And don’t even get me started on the smell. Anthony died a couple of days ago and he still stinks. I hope Ben is not getting any more Ducks in Cricket. I heavily regret coming to this war. I miss very much. My job is to clean out the mud. Coll is to get more ammo ( I got the easier job.) 

Hopefully see you soon, Ethan.

Have you ever done an imformal or a formal letter before?

Saint Cecilia!

For R:E we had to pick a Saint and do a slideshow, a doc or a video. Me, Lucas and Jaspar chose to do a video about Saint Cecilia. We chose 6 facts about her the were basic then we did some dances and added them in with the video. Here it is, hope you enjoy




Who is your favourite Saint?

Ladies before Gentleman.

On 29th of October my hub was lucky enough to go to Ferrymead. It was a long trip there with alot of narrow roads. When we got to Ferrymead there was a man that looked liked Willy Wonka with polished shoes and alot of hair jel. He told us 4 rules. Ladies before Gentleman, take care of your shoes, no hands in pockets and children can be seen but not heared.

We had to get change into olden day clothes. Then we where put into groups, in my group there was Me, Archie, Lucas, Jimi, Lewis and Charile. We looked very weird because we were wearing 3/4 pants. Also we were still wearing our summer clothes underneath so it was very hot. We did alot of things but my favourite was the movie theater. I was up the front of the very small theater it was about cooking.
