Kowhaiwhai pattern

 Welcome back,

This week for maths we did Kowhaiwhai patterns. They are Maori swirls and stuff. First we had to use Koru Patternes to show that we know about enlargement, translation, rotation and reflection. Enlargment is when you make something bigger, translation is where you move something, rotation is rotating on an angle and finally reflection is just like a mirro. We also had to make a Kowhaiwhai patterns.

These are my DLO

Have you learn anything is blog?

CRUSADERS

 This week for Writing,

We did PEOMS. It's always good when we do peoms once a year. This year we had to make it about Ngai Tahu tribe. That is from Christchurch. I made mine about the Crusaders, here is our goals. Selects words and phrases to enhance meaning and/or mood. Revise and rework writing for clarity, impact and purpose. Here is mine DLO.

Do you like the Crusaders?

Thats right this is blog numbr 99! Yes just like Brooklyn nine-nine. Next blog I post will be the 100th blog that took me nearly 4 years! For reading we had the same goals as last week which are Use knowledge from text to combine with new ideas (own and others) to come up with new thinking and Think while reading, pick up new information, and come up with new ideas and new thinking. First we didn't actually make anything we just had to plan. We made a bubble just like in the Simpsons Moive. Inside the bubble we had an amusement park / water park. This is our DLO of it.

The Biggest Amusement Park IN THE WORLD. PT1

 Hello and Welcome Back,

Hello everyone this is our road it 100 BLOG POSTS. This is blog number 98 so very soon 100 blogs will be on my account. Anyways this week for reading we had to read about Christchruch and how we came back after the massive earthquake we had back in 2011. The first book I read was called reabuilding Christchurch with amazing ideas. It was mainly about how there was a competition in Christchurch to see who could make the best building that Christchruch might need. Some year 7 Girls won it with a dome. The 2nd book was called life in NZ. It was about how we evoled and how we separated from Gondwana. How animals evoled and adapdet. We had to right some points about it. Heres mine. 

Rebuilding Christchurch with amazing ideas

Girls made a dome with Koru sticking out

Some Girls won a contest about a building for Christchurch

Domes are safer than square buildings

The Dome they made had a playground

It was made so people can come together

Eco friendly

Cafe was made out of adobe so it would make the heat passive

Life as NZ

New Zealnad was all animals before Humans came

Some plants and animals are only found in NZ

There was 2 different contetins: Gondwana and Laurasia before the split

Alot of animals had to adapt like Peguins (thick layers)

The Tuatara is one of the only animals that stayed for ages 

The Tuatara barely changed from 200 million years ago

The Moa wouldn’t fly because it had big legs and big bodys

It also had a great smell and it was like a deer

The Weta grew to around 10cm 

It was very similar to a mice

It is one of the heaviest insects in the world

Plants had to get scarer so they wouldn’t get eatan by the Moa

Even though the Kakapo is slow and couldn’t fly it was a serious predator

The Kakapo had great eye vision

Animals died after Humans came because of climate change

Next week we will be creating our own building or place that Christchurch should have. So me and my mate Lucas are doing a Water park / Amusement park.

What would you want to add to Christchurch and why?

  

From The Lands of Kaiapoi to Akaroa.

 Do you know your way around a compass?

Do you even know what a compass is. A compass is a thing that tells you where North, South, East and West is. Here is what one looks like. 

Any ways for Maths this week we looked at directions on the app google maps. This was our quest:

You are the warriors chosen by your Rangatira to lead a rescue mission. You are safe at home at Kaiapoi Pa but have heard news of your kinsmen in distress. Ōnawe Pa is under attack and you must get there as soon as possible to rescue those who are under threat and help fight against  Te Rauparaha’s advancing war party. You have been given the following brief:

1.You must measure distance between the two locations ( remember the roads we have today may not be your chosen path)

2.What is the most direct route from one place to the other

3.Include the compass directions both locations are from the centre of Ōtautahi.

4.Find how long it would take by boat.

5.Find how long it would take by car.

This was a map of the the 2 Pas.

This was my screenshot for number 2

The distance is 56.6km

This was my screenshot for number 4

The distance is 112km

This was my screenshot for number 5

The distance is 76km

The direction is South East from Kaiapoi to Ōnawe but then it is North West from Ōnawe to Kaiapoi. The distance is 56.5 kilometres. 

What route would of you taken?
