Math norms poster.

This is the poster that I made for maths. This week we have been learning about all the norms for maths. Norms mean that you have to be normal. Hope you like my poster.

The launching

In this activity for my reading I had a book called the launching. For this activity I had to figure out what the Maori words meant because my book had lots of Maori words. Hope you enjoy.

The launching of the waka art.

This activity was one of my reading activity's. In this activity I had to recreate the picture of the launching of the waka in my book. Then I had to write what I drew. Hope you enjoy.

My hometown and why it is special

I live in New Zealand, but my hometown is a special place my hometown is Auckland in the North Island of New Zealand. Auckland has lots of relaxing places like cafes, parks, restaurants, spas, hotels and motels. Even though Auckland has lots of relaxing places it also is a very busy city. I am Auckland and Auckland is me, Auckland is such a big part of me. I love Auckland.

The legend of Aotearoa.

According to Maori mythology most of Aotearoa was brought together when Maui, one of the powerful demigods, made a magical hook for fishing. This hook was made out of his grandmothers jawbone. That very day Maui went out to fish, he hopped in a little wooden boat and started to paddle. He went all the way into the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In that very spot he caught a fish. This fish was the South Island of Aotearoa. In this honour the North Island is sometimes called Te Ika   E Maui or Maui’s fish and the South Island is sometimes called Te Waka E Maui or Maui’s waka.

Drone Flying

Running to the field in excitement  after morning tea we followed the drone. We were going to do a drone race and it was boys against girls, only 20 people did this activity. The drone was flone on the field and the bike track.  We did this activity because we wanted to get better at skills and so we could have fun. Once we got to the field we set everything up and then we sat down quickly so we could try out the drone. Mr Moran shouted “ Shayna and Kamryn come on you are going to fly the drone.” Mr Moran demonstrated how to fly and what to do when flying the drone. He said that you have to fly it all the way to the christmas box and then spin the drone around and come back and land the drone. After that Shayna had a turn. She did the directions that were said and she got a time os 46 seconds. Then Kamryn had a turn then I did and Finau had a turn. Some other people had a turn, but I can’t really remember. Then it was the boys turn and nearly all of the boys got a turn, but they were quite good at it.  When we were finished we cleaned up and went inside. When we got inside we started to write our recount about flying the drone.

My favourite part was sitting in the shade under the tree waiting for the other people to finish flying the drone.
