I Am Hope

Kia ora. At Paihia School a man named Tai came in and talked to us about how to help people with there mental Health the best part of Tai’s speech was when he was talking about his past because it was interesting. I learnt that everyone has their own conversation in their head and that there is a negative voice inside of your head that when you are depressed or angry, the negative voice will kick in and tell you negative things. Tai also told the class to ask people how they are doing so you can cheer them up I will ask people how they feel in the future to try and cheer them up. Have you ever cheered someone up by asking them how they feel?

 

Ngahau Dot Plot

Kia ora. In Te Ngahere the whole class has been learning about dot plots. Dot plots are a type of graph that use dots as the data. For example in this pdf (winning dots) they have a dot plot and they are trying to measure the distance and the range of room 1 and room 2 ball throwing skills. When I was doing my DLO about this pdf (winning dots). I did not know what range meant. I thought that range meant the distance of the ball that traveled. But now I know what it means. The way you find the range is you have to get the lowest number and the biggest number and subtract the smaller number by the bigger number and the answer equals the range. Example if someone threw the ball 3 meters and someone else threw the ball 15 meters you do 15-13=12 so 12 is the range. I also could improve my DLO by explaining what the range meant clearer. Did you know what a dot plot was before you read my post?

Stunning Science

Kia ora. At Paihia School our class Te Ngahere went to Bay College for a science roadshow. I learnt that there are different types of gases around the world and that if you pour liquid nitrogen onto a balloon the balloon will shrink because the liquid nitrogen is so cold the gas in the balloon dissolves and then when you blow on it the liquid nitrogen vanishes and the gas makes its way back into the balloon. There were also different types of science projects my favorite one was when you have to try and make any object in a basket float mid way up a tube while the tube was pushing the wind up. I managed to make a object stop I used a shuttlecock with a light piece of string. The purpose of this experiment was to see if it mattered by the shape of the object or the weight of the object. Have you ever been to a science roadshow?

Ngahau (amazing) Technology

Kia ora. At Paihia School all of the year 7 and 8’s went to technology. I enjoy technology because we are building waka and the year 7’s made a apple sponge cake. I think that my waka is coming together really well because I was trying to make everything perfect, I want my waka to be better than everybody else’s. Have you ever built a waka before?

Cyber Smart Relationships

Kia ora. In Te Ngahere my class and I have been learning to be internet safe, this includes so that we don’t talk to strangers or so that we don’t give random people our personal information. We can only be safe by not sharing personal information or talking to strangers online. Have you ever talked to a stranger?

Ngahau Technology

Kia ora. At Paihia School all of the year 7 and 8’s went to technology. The year 7’s are doing cooking and the year 8’s are doing woodwork. My year group are making little wooden waka. We are also still learning about how to use some of the tools like the metal melting tool. I think that I am doing a great job on my waka but I also think that I need to get better at using the file because I am not that great at it. Have you been to technology before?

Fishy Cybersmart

Kia ora. In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to use more tools on Google drawing to create pictures of animals or anything. What we had to do was create anything using the tools that we learnt how to use. What I made was fish and electric eel and patrick and spongebob. I think that I am really good at doing this because I think that my drawings are great but I also think that I need more practice because they ain't the best. Do you use Google drawing?
