This is another maths activity I chose to do out of the 17 maths work challenge. This task is all about the area and volume of 2D and 3D shapes.
This was the first graph of the Bar and Histogram Graph. This graph that is shown is about 'The most common car colors'. In this task, we had to record the data that Jim counted and the data he got to create the column graph.
WALT: Understand, and use, location words
Task Desription:
Kia Ora! Our Maori word for this week in Lockdown Te Reo was: Kei Hea Koe? It translates to "Where are you?" in English. This work was difficult but also simple because I knew certain Maori words. Enjoy!
Task Description: This week for reading Riley and Duff are reading the same thing. Our two books that we have to read were "Kiwis kids having lockdown birthdays" and "Tips on homeschooling your kids during lockdown". We also had to complete a Venn Diagram. We also had to do similarities. We Enjoy!
WALT: Make inferences, re-organise the text to gain a better understanding.
Kids our age may be immature when it comes to spending the money we have. What I mean by "immature" is that they won't buy anything related to school or school supplies. Kids will be more concerned with money than with school, which will hinder their education.
We had a very Special Guest visit Room 3 Literacy, His name is Falefitu Tony Laulu. Falefitu Tony Laulu, an author who creates accessible and more true books about our islander culture. He was on his way to bring some books that our teacher had requested. He showed us his incredible literature on Pasifika culture, particularly Samoan culture. It depicts the current state of the world. His outstanding works were spoken and written in both the English and Samoan language and culture. My favourite book coming from collection is the book that I enjoy the best. Tony Laulu has two sons, one of their names is Lemalie and he is 7 years old. The other is 10 years old and his name is Sakalia.
We would like to give a huge thank you to Falefitu Tony Laulu for coming to our school, Point England School and showing us your amazing cultural Samoan book that our teacher requested. When you came with these amazing books I just wanted to keep them that's how amazed and excited I was. I also learnt that if you can't speak any language but your that culture, It doesn't mean that your not that.

Today, Monday July The 26th It was the first day back in Point England School now that it is term 3. This term's theme is "Healthy me, Healthy you". This theme is based on about your body works and help your body stay healthy and active.
Team 4's movie was based on getting ready for the Cross Country and based on the healthy foods you eat and not the junk food. You can have a improvement with your body, but know It's good and healthy to eat the healthy things, but you should never go on this healthy diet thing because you don't like your weight. In the video Mr Hudges had talked about how Cross Country was nearly due, so he decided to make Cross Country practices for the students in the video. Some teachers were excited about eating healthy and doing a Cross Country practice and some weren't so happy about it. Mrs Sio and Miss Lagitupu decided to cut the race and eat cake while the other two actually participated in the practice. If you actually work and practice and participate on being healthy, you could have a big improvement.
There were 3 teams. New Zealand, USA and Australia. The Australian performance was somewhat to do with a yoga ball. The scene that Ms. Hill did was really entertaining and really funny. There was actually a reason they did 'terrible' and that was because, they didn't drink water, didn't eat healthy and didn't stay fit.
Next it was the USA group. The USA group was based on staying fit, so basically running, doing hula hoops on your arms. So the USA group was basically saying you practice more often and stay fit.
Last but not least, The Team of New Zealand. Sadly there was only 1 person in the group but she was extremely confident that she was gonna beat USA and Australia. She did a cartwheel, and many other stuff. A lot of people were really happy with her on how she stayed fit, kept healthy and practiced.
Task Description: Today in literacy, all the groups have been reading the same task about "Celebrating Puanga at Ramanui". Ramanui is a school which celebrates Matariki every year. We had to list down 5 facts about the article we read.
Today in our literacy class we have been writing speeches for a few weeks and presenting them to our literacy classes. My speech was about "Why It's important going to school". Today I gave my speech to my literacy class. I was really nervous. My score was 23/25 I am pretty proud with my score.
Today the prefects created a movie to represent the korero "Finish it of properly." We created tips to show you how to finish it of properly, file your work and have a positive ending to term 2!
Last week on Friday the 25th of June we had Vas Kovalski come to Pt England School to host and perform a Magic Show. He performed a lot of Magic Tricks, that includes helping us balance our diet.
Normally in Magic Shows the audience would normally do wow and omg moments only but this magic show was about.. Balancing your diet.
I know your probably wondering who cares about having a diet. Well maybe you should start thinking about what could happen to your body. Having a diet will help you keep yourself active and if you keep focusing on lollies, chocolate, big bags of chips, junk food every night, things could possibly happen to your body.
He pulled out food from his magic box some and placed the food where it belonged on the different plates. For example he pulled out a carrot or corn so than he’ll place it on the vegetable plate category.
The great magician Vas Kovalski did many different magic tricks such as ‘The Bird’ that magic trick captured the audiences attention. He pulled the paper towel and a bird just came out flying.
He asked someone to volunteer themself to help him perform the trick, Lee volunteered. He had a cup in his hand and asked Lee to bend his right arm and his left arm going up and down. As Lee kept following those instructions by bending his arm, water started coming out of his left elbow and approaching into the cup.
My own advice for you to work on a balanced diet is: To work on your carbs, protein, fat, fibre, vitamins, and water. You should eat all your carbs not just the ones you like. Eating these types of foods to keep your body motivated and active will prevent you from diseases and infections. It’s those little foods that can matter can change someones life. The food you waste like the vegetables could change someones life, It’s not if you like it all or not you should eat the food that you've been provided with.
Vas Kovalski also did another magic trick which was about the rubix cube and the box. Vas than put the Rubix in the box and started shivering the box side to side he than opened the one side of the box and there was no rubix cube. We we’re all a bit confused on where the rubix cube went. As he was doing the magic trick he pulled it out of another box and we got confused how the rubix was in that box but wasn’t in the other box that it was in.
Vas Kovalski than asked another person from the audience to volunteer to come up to perform a magic trick with him. Emeline from Team 5 got chosen. Vas gave her an apron and a chef hat and a magic cloth. The Magic cloth could change colours. But Emeline’s cloth was only changing to blue, red and white. Vas cloth was changing to different colours like Grey, purple and teal, although on the other hand, Emeline was really confused about the cloths, It wasn’t her being confused making the trick funny it was her facial expressions making it more funny. Although the magic trick was amusing.
On Wednesday, the extension group and a few chosen students got to go to KPMG. Which is a business that does tax, advisory and finance.
When we arrived to KPMG, we went to explore around the first floor. Once we we’re done exploring we went into the infinity room. The infinity room is where everyone meets up at and where our experiments take place.
This year our focus was on experiments and science and space. We had to get into groups and that’ll be the team we will be staying with for the rest of the day. My buddies were, Norah Jade, Jane, Oalii, Nina, Sauma, Zoe including me. I was in Team Earth.
Each team had their own experiment and my one was really challenging that our tutors can’t help us and they could only give us three hints. We had to make oobleck.
We did a quiz in our groups in the infinity room. Most questions were challenging at about space. One of the questions were ‘How many water is in your body?’ and I thought it was 27.5% and apparently it was 80%.
We had to create oobleck with the following ingredients, cornflour, water & food colouring. My team oobleck was a solid and mine wasn’t quiet there, I just needed to add cornflour but than I was adding more water. Till the end mine went to the a solid. We could touch our solids and once you lay it on your hand, It’ll melt immediately.
The food we had at KPMG was deliciously amazing. They had a huge variety of food, from spring rolls, mini burgers, etc. The food was 50% of my highlight. Another one of my highlights were hanging out with my friends and seeing them challenge themselves and succeed.
I would like to thank the KPMG staff for being able make this happen, if it wasn’t for you we wouldn’t of had this opportunity. A huge thanks to Justine who took charge and set all this whole KPMG programme.
Title: Being a Prefect is a Huge Opportunity
Intro: I’ll be talking about my qualities in b eing a prefect.
Kia Ora Readers,
At Point England School we have 3 different types of leader roles in students related. There are Prefects, House Captains and Rangatahi. I am going to talk about the prefect role that I had the chance to be apart of for Point England in 2021.
Having the prefect role is a huge responsibility and a huge opportunity for you to have. To get the Prefects role, it’s not to be smart or being intelligent. To get the prefect position and role you need to have a application. What I mean by application is you need to write some detailed information and sentences about yourself and send it to the school principal Mr Burt.
Once he reads your application he’ll respond to you and say something like excellent! Amazing! Good Job! That’s a sign he’s proud of what you wrote down. A few days later, he’ll bring twp separate groups the boys group and the girls group. The boys & girls are not random people put into a group, the people are the applicants. Once you’re in his meeting he’ll tell you some questions about being a prefect, like how could you make the school a better place ? He than will announce you at the school prize giving.
The Prize Giving is a very special event in schools. It’s a result for your year. Mr Burt will call out the girls and boys prefect team. When I heard my name was called out, I was in dis belief. I was so excited that i was going to take charge of the school with the other prefect team. The Prefects have to do a korero for the school. They have to make presentations, movies & slideshows before every friday. Every friday in this whole year (not all but most) the prefects have to come up with a korero for the school. Something reasonable some responsible and something that people will actually listen to.
Conclusion:
Being a prefect is not to only be good at school, It’s also to be good at home.
To be a prefect It’s not only to be smart and to be intelligent, It’s to be responsible and to set good examples for the school.

Why does Matter matter ?
The three basic properties of matter are Volume, Mass and Shape.
All matter is made up of tiny particles called Atoms
Volume is the amount of Space that matter takes up
Mass is the amount of matter an object has
Liquids take the shape of their container.
Gases do not have a definite shape or volume.
Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume.
Solids have a definite shape and volume.
A ice and a chair are examples of solids.
Water and Milk are examples of liquids.
Oxygen and Helium are examples of gas.
Solid ice is melting when It is changing into a liquid.
-----------------
This is the task my class Room 4 did this morning. We had to answer these questions based about Matter. A fact that I learnt during this task is, three states of matter are liquid, solid and gas. The three basic properties of matter is Volume, Mass and Shape.
