commemoration day

On Monday March 9th the whole school celebrated the memorial of the S.S Otaki. it was so post to be outside but it was raining, so we had it inside the hall instead. We were going to have it after the first brake, so we ate our lunch and played some games while we wait for the bell to ring. After the bell rang, we all went back to class to line up and and leave our bags here. then we slowly walked over to the hall, but some people were running. when we were lining up by the hall we all walked in in a line class by class. we had to sit in class rows and in the same positions that we were sitting in last Friday practise. When we were all settled, the Kapa Haka people will do the Haka dance to welcome the seniors and the ambassadors in. while they are coming in, the people play there instrements

DMIC math problem solving

On Tuesday we did DMIC problem solving. We had to solve who is right and wrong. Peter makes different rectangles with a 30cm string, Peter thinks that all the rectangles he makes will have the same area but Miri disagrees, and we think that Peter is correct because all the rectangles he makes has the same length so we think that Peter was correct. but another group said that Peter was wrong, and Miri was correct, the other group cut out some paper and they all have the same length but they are different when they compared one with the other one and realized that they did not have the some area. When I was looking at their way of solving it I just realized that I was wrong because I was not looking at it properly.

[COVID 19] Coronavirus😷💀

Ever since people reported about the COVID 19 also known as the Coronavirus, I felt very scared and worried about it, its because half of my family lives in China, and the Coronavirus started in china.

Ever since I heard about the Coronavirus it has ruined the most best things ever like my first time leaving the country and going to china to visit my family, and the virus infecting Auckland where my my Auntie lives, and every one in the family loves my Auntie and she also loves us too. Its also in Wellington. So all the school trips to Wellington is also ruined.

To keep my family safe from the Coronavirus we need to stay clean and wear face musk's so your wont get infected as easily

To prevent the virus form infecting you, you must stay clean like showering daily and washing your hands with soap or you can use some sanitiser.

10 Items that are important are lots of water, food, hand sanitiser, a spray to keep you smelling nice, clean clothes, shoes, face musk's, pillows, blankets, and the most important thing, toilet paper.

What I learnt this week

1. 1 thing I learnt this week is how to participate in math, and not do the things on my own and help others work out the math equazen instead of doing everything me self and not help.

2. 1 thing I enjoyed at school is digital media where we play Minecraft, build things, and code to spawn things in, we also build about what the things that teacher tells use to build.

3. 1 thing I need to work on is to get work done faster and not slack off. and fiddle with things, and not play games.

What I learnt, and what I need to improve

1. 1 thing I learnt was in math equations, when I know the answer to question, I remembered to put me hand up when I want to answer, and not blurb it out to the class.

2. 1 thing I need to work on is my reading answering, it's because when I go to another room to read with a teacher I always call out the answers for the reading story, and talk over the teacher while the teacher is talking.

3. 1 thing I enjoyed was digital media, it's because we get to use minecraft education edition and code on it and have fun with the coding like spawn TNT, or place end crystals and blow them up
