Boy kneed in the head as he protects a girl from being beaten up.

IALT:Reflect on an article on New Zealand Herald


Today I have finished reading an article based on a girl attack in Whakatane outside the Whakatane New World Supermarket. The girl was seen to be attacked by a girl and the boy step in and helped her. The boy told her to let go but she refused and started to knee the boy in the heads as he was protecting the girl from getting attacked. Then the girl pulled his hair to the carpark area and started kneeing him even more. Then another girl came in and did the same thing until they were tired and then stopped and went.

I hope you like it Comment feedback and feedforward on what I need to work on in the future.

Kiwi Kids News - Two Front Teeth

WALT:Reflect on an article we have read on Nz Herald ir Kiwi kids news

According to an article I have read about, it is about a new born baby who has already had 2 front teeth

Baby Rose Pullen surprised the midwife after she was born with fully grown front teeth. This took place at the University Hospital of Wales in August 22nd. She had a lot of attention because of her toothy smile. About 1 in 3000 babies are born with formed teeth with most babies teething at 6-months. Rose's mum Chloe was shocked when her husband gave her the news that her newborn daughter had already have teeth. The midwife's have never seen anything like this. Chloe did some research and found out that her grandmother was born with front teeth and she said the Rose might have received the feature from her grandmother. For health reasons the doctors have removed the teeth when she was a few weeks old.

One thing I learned in this article was that 1 in 3000 babies are born with teeth. What I found challenging was that some of the words are had to say so I had to search it up on Google and had to put it in my own words. My Next step is to find an article about the same topic and write more about the topic. I thought the article was amazing because I have never heard of a new born baby having 2 front teeth. What I enjoyed in this article was that Rose was born with 2 front teeth.

🌊What Is So Special About Estuaries?(Solo Taxonomy)🌊

IALT:Reflect on what's so special about Estuaries.

Today my teacher Miss Kormor was off from work and we had a reliever named Mr Thippa(Mr T). We were given a DLO from Miss Kormor to work on including Solo Taxonomy for Reading. Here is the SOLO Taxonomy order, 

Pre-Structural:Ideas you're not sure about

Uni-Structural:1 relevant Idea

Multi-Structural:Having a lot of Ideas

Relational:Making connections to a big picture

Extended Abstract:Thinking outside of the box

Just before we read the text we had to write about what you know about this topic. Me and Losana didn't know what the topic was about so we said that we haven't heard about it,we also had to research about what Estuaries means. The questions that we given to us were...

• What we knew about the topic before reading it
• How many ideas do you have
• How many ideas can you like together
• What do I know about reading the text
• How can I apply what I have read to life
• Have your thoughts changed it all

The me and Losana read the text and had to finish the presentation. Then we finished the presentation just before the Morning bell rang.

What I enjoyed about this about what we read was that it was to do with Solo Taxonomy.What I found challenging was that I didn't understand what the article was about so I asked the teacher.My next steps are to try find the words I don't understand and find what they mean on Google.

Pollution's

IALT:Write an article about pollution and write what the pollution's are and what they mean

Today the article I read was about water pollution. Many of low lying New Zealand's water have been polluted with rubbish. Kiwi dairy farms spent over a billion dollars on reducing river pollution,water experts say have helped to turn the tide in improving the health of many water-ways.

HOW MANY TYPES OF POLLUTION'S ARE THERE,AND WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

There are 4 types of pollution that I know of and they mean

• Light Pollution:is caused from different types of light's

• Noise Pollution:is caused from High stress levels and more

• Water Pollution:is caused from polluted oils from factories,food scraps and rubbish on one half of the world

• Air Pollution:can cause harm to organisms such as animals,plants and food.

What I found challenging in this blogpost was find what the 4 types of pollution's means in my own word,I also tried my best to make it make sense and make it in my own words.What I enjoyed in this blogpost was getting to know facts that I didn't know, such as not knowing that half of the world is polluted from factories,rubbish and food scraps.My next steps are to find more facts about the article. My thoughts on this article is that it was about pollution and pollution is what we are working on for Inquiry.

IALT: reflect on how a female Giraffe from the Wellington Zoo died.

Today I have Read an article on Kiwi Kids News and it was about a Elderly Giraffe in wellington named Tisa has died after operation. Tisa died just before 1am on Wednesday morning. Her Operation was last week. She has 5 children with her Partner Ricky and one of them is Zahara that still lives at the zoo. Tisa came to Wellington in 1991 which means she is 25 years of age going to 26 years or 26 years old. She has been not wanting to Eat or drink. Tisa has been weak and was showing signs of dehydration. She showed love to other animals and thousand of zoo visitors.Zoo visitors have met her during the daily Giraffe talk.The zoo recently lost a Chimpanzee named Beni after it had a cut on it leg.

The most challenging part of this article I have read was when we found out the Tisa died and a Chimpanzee did recently.What My next steps are to research more about the article and find more facts.

Kiwi Can Reflection

WALT:Reflect on what we did at Kiwi Can

Today after our Reflection with Room 3 we went to the hall to have another Kiwi Can Lesson with Mr M. When we arrived at the hall and we all got put into 4 Groups again and I got put into Group 4. Then room 9 found out that Miss Latoya is tutoring in High School, so we had another tutor and her name was Lilly. Lilly is Samoan, She is pretty and she gets along with everyone.

We then got into our energizer and it was Compliment Circle. How the game works, is that you have to put your class or family into a boys and girls section and you have to have 2 Hula Hoops and get 1 circle of boys and another circle that is girls and then have a teacher or somebody play music and whenever the music stops,who ever was the last 1 to stand in it or who is standing in it has to say a compliment about what they like about the person that is in the circle. The compliments I heard mostly were,

• I like your shoes
• You have a Growth Mindset

Then we got into a our activity, which was Debating. The first two groups (Group 1 & 2) were debating on whether we should have School Uniforms or not and Groups 3 & 4 were debating on whether we should change our lunch times to 2 hours or we should keep it at 40 minutes. My Team, supported having 40 minutes of lunch and group 3 was against having 40 minutes of lunch and wanting to change it into 2 hours lunch. On what my team brainstormed we said we wanted to have shorter lunch times because we can learn more in class time and in group 3's brainstorm they brainstormed having even more break time is what we need because we need to have a break from 2 hours of learning and 20 minutes and 40 minutes is not enough.

My Highlight of today  was playing the energize because everyone participated and some people had a go in going into the hula hoop. My next steps are to participate more in the activity we were asked to do. What I found challenging today was when my group was brainstorming about the activity it was difficult for me to find Ideas.

I hope you like my Reflection,Comment any Feedback or Feedforward on what I need to work on in my future blogpost.

Kiwi Can Reflection

WALT:Reflect on Kiwi Can

Today we went to Kiwi Can.We were put into 4 groups.We talked about how powerful your tone of voice can be,We used different tones of voice asking others how they would feel if it was used towards them.In order to get to know each other better we walked around the Music Room with music on and once it would stop we would have to pair up with someone and talk about your Name,Nationality,Life Dreams and Favorite food.I was paired up with Losana and we talked about all those things.I said my name was Ana,I am a Tongan my favorite food is KFC and lastly my life dream was to Travel the world or be a musician. When we were put in 4 different groups, we had to act our 4 different plays using your different tones of voices. Each group had to come with a play using the sentence given..
The 4 plays given for us to act out were,

• Coach Yelling At A Student
• Siblings Making Cookies, And You Eating Causing Tension
• Someone Sells Another Person Things
• Parents Praise Their Child For Getting A Good Report

We watched each others act's and it proved to me that tone of voice is very important

Next week it will be our last week talking about Positive Communication.The Most challenging part I found with Kiwi Can was when, we had to think about what we want to be when we get older, and set them for life goals.

My next steps are to:

Be a good student, and help raise money for me to travel the world, and find new things. One thing I enjoyed the most was when everyone participated in the 4 different acts.

Math's (Place Value)

IALT:Reflect on what me and my Pairs have done for Maths

Today I was figuring out 12 problems that I have figured out with Metui and Losana and it was about Place Value.We had to figure out the question's by expanding the place value number.For an example were were given in the place value task was 3478 = 3000+400+70+8.If you can work through this problem it wold make more sense.Forwards would be 3000+400+70+8 and it will equal 3,478 and Backwards would be 8+70+400+3000 will equal the same number 3,478.Then we completed the task and here it is.

1. 348 = 300 + 40 + 8
2. 764 = 700 + 60 + 4
3. 809 = 800 + 9
4. 3698 = 3000 + 600 + 90 + 8
5. 5087 = 5000 + 80 + 7
6. 5607 = 5000 + 600 + 7
7. 23087 = 2000 + 300 + 80 + 7
8. 43765 = 40000 + 3000 + 700 + 60 + 5
9. 50790 = 50000 + 700 + 90
10. 458701 = 400000 + 50000 + 8000 + 700 + 1
11. 4658087 = 400000 + 60000 + 5000 + 800 + 80 + 7
12. 3008703 = 300000 + 8000 + 700 + 3

Then we finished it to a high standard and i think we got all of the questions right.What I enjoyed was that I got to work with my cousins and finished the task.What I found challenging was that the 12 question was hard because it was a big number to say.What my next steps are is to try read the large place value number.
