Term 1 Social Studies Assessment - Waitangi what really happened

 For the past term we have been learning about what really happened during the time the treaty of Waitangi was signed. We watched 7 episodes that showed us what happened before, during and after the treaty was signed. We worked in small groups of 2 and 3 to make a slide that explained what we learnt throughout the term.  Here is my work

Word art speech

  For the past few weeks in English we have been writing speech about ( A community issue, A school issue or someone we admire) in this case I chose a community and school issue which is smoking, I tried to pick a topic that I had no idea how to write about so it was a little bit challenging.  I really enjoyed writing my speech and saying it first on Friday.

Here is a poster I made about my speech:)

About me

 About me :)

 Hi my name is Ebony I am a year nine student at the Bay of Islands college, I have 4 sibling (1 brother and 3 sisters).  I attended Kawakawa primary for 8 years.

My favorite sports are netball, touch and ki-o-rahi.

I enjoy PE and Math and I am good at Math's.

My goals for this year are to try and come to school everyday and stay on task so I can finish all my work.

This year I’m looking forward to all our school  trips that we will be going on.

T.A.C.O

Today we have been learning about different types of tenses ( past, present and future ) . In Te reo Maori we had to write sentences using the three tenses, We used a thing called TACO which stands for tense, action, character and object. The easy part was knowing the sentence structure and knowing how to write it how I wanted it. The hard part was trying not to have the same sentence as others. Next time I want to try and use other actions instead of haere and use better vocab.

Surf lifesavings

Last week on Wednesday Nga Rau Tipuranga,  Nga Rau Rangatira and a few kids from room 16 went to the surf lifesavings in Ruakaka. Well we were there we  learnt about rips, beach safety and what we should and shouldn't do on the beach.  My favourite part was when we got to get in the water. My least favourite part was when we had to leave.

Problem solving

Today we have been learning how to do 100 times tables using problem solving.  The hard part was understanding where to put the zero's. The easy part was finding an answer. My next step is to learn how to times by 1000's.

Sc: 

•  add right to left start at ones column 
• When times by 10 add one zero ( into the ones column )
• When times by 100 add two zero's ( into the ones and tens column )

First encounter

For the past few weeks we have been learning about first encounters. My group did James Cook. We were given ipads to work on to make objects like People, Waka, Boats and lots more. With thoose objects we put the into a 3d world. The easy part was deciding who was going to make which objects.
The hard part was finding what app to use to make my objects.
