Measurement - Room 3

Task Description: Today I have been working on a Measurement task. This task is all about measurement, why I like doing these kind of task is because it makes me learn more about Measurement.

Taha Whanau - Room 3

Task Description: Today room 3 had to work on a task that Mrs Tele'a made. This task contains family and what our family roles are, for example this is what I have did. We had to make an avatar that is similar to your siblings or parents, and we also had to write down below or beside our avatars whats our role, or what we do at home. 

5 things im grateful for:

We had a choice to stay home or come to school. Heaps of students from Pt England decided to come to school. Teachers here @ Pt England school think its a good thing that we chose to come back to school, instead of staying home. I also think its a good choice that we chose to come back to school, because we can stay focused on our work because at home we might have siblings that like to annoy you.

Y7 - 2021

Which parts of the whare tapawha did we strengthen on these 3 days ? 

Taha Whanau, Taha Tinana, Taha Wairua, Taha Hinengaro

This is just a photo of what I have been working on for the past 10 - 15 minutes. Room 3 had to work on this made up task because we did not have other work to do, so Ms Tele'a just decided that we do this. Doing this is important for the other year 7's next year so they know whats happening and also so they do not get distracted! Having time without the year 8's is kind of fun, but what I could say is I had really fun without the year 8's because I needed time just with some of the year 7's. 

Year 8 - Year 7 sharing.

 Today at 10:00 the whole of team 5 came together. Team 5 came together so we could hear what the year 8's did at camp and what the year 7's did while the year 8 students were away! 

-The year 8 leaders shared what they did at camp and what there favourite thing about camp was, also what they did to over become there fears. 

• - Jez shared first. He loved performing his chant with his team and he also loved sleeping with his friends which were Arthur, Josh, and most of the boys that are close friends with him. ( They all slept together because *Pashal* was telling them about there was a Myth and Legend watching them sleep and they got really scared and put there beds together. )

• - Oalli shared first for the year 7's. Oalii shared her group name, what she loved about her group, and her favourite part about the 3 days we were here. What Oalii loved about her group is that * Even tho we didnt play together at lunch and morning tea, we still became friends in those 3 days and we actually worked together on our work*. 

• -Arthur loved sleeping with his friends, loved playing games, and loved the food at camp. Arthur loved sleeping with his friends cause hes probably not use to sleeping with friends or hes either hasnt slept with friends since year 5 and 6. 

• -Nina loved the food, playing with her group and letting her group go first in games. Nina loved letting her group to go first because shes just a kind person and she loves to play with other people that she hasnt met before. 

• -What Jacob loved about going to year 8 leader ship camp was, he liked/loved putting his friends first and he also loved playing the games with other year 8 students. Jacob wanted to share more and more about camp but we didnt have enough time so we just listend to half of his amazing story about camp.

Year 7 step up:

On Wednesday when the year 8 students went on to camp, all of the year 7's had to step up and be learders for the year 8s. Us year 7s we went into different classes with other teachers, and there was only 3 teachers that stayed behind with us year 7's. (Ms Moala) (Ms Ilaoa) (Ms Tipene). 

-Playing games

The team names were ( Team Thunder Ms Moalas Group ) (Strikers Ms Ilaoas group ) (Duck life Ms Tipenes group )

*Fun ways to step up is to just be your self and never give up on the year 8s. How I think I stepped up was I acted like i was a year 8, and I just helped other kids out around and in the school grounds. 

( Those are just some things we did while the year 8 students went off the leader ship camp, I hope you enjoyed reading and I also hope for other year 8 students during the future to set an example for the year 7's, and the year 7's to set an example for the year 7's coming up to team five during the year 2020 ) 

Persuasive Writing - Room 3

During 2020 there has been some really sad things happening. Climate change, Bush fires in aussie, Kobe Bryant's death, Protesting, Worldwide pandemic, George floyds death. Those are just some things that have happened in 2020 lately.

Bushfires In Australia:

What I know about the bushfires in Australia is people have been losing their family members due to the bushfires. The bushfires in Australia started 1 year ago in June 2019, people are losing their houses and the area sadly because of the Australian bushfires. Record breaking temperatures and months of severe drought have fuelled a series of massive bushfires across Australia.

The Bushfires in Australia are getting really bad, I think that the bushfires over in Australia have stopped but I'm not sure of that because the news lately haven't been talking about the Bushfires. This bushfire is located in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. Bushfires in Australia have approximately killed 800 people in Australia since 1851. 

Kobey Bryants Death:

What I know about Kobe Bryant's death is that he died due to a helicopter crash on Sunday in Calabasa, California, United states on January 26th 2020.  Sadly his daughter Gianna Bryant was in that helicopter and she sadly died too.
   

At the time, weather conditions in Calabasas were reported to be foggy. The helicopter came down between two groups of mountain bikers who called 9-1-1. Witnesses reported that the helicopter's engine was sputtering before the crash.

Worldwide Pandemic:

What I know about the Worldwide pandemic is that it's a virus that is going around. This virus going around is really bad, it's killing thousands of people around the world, this worldwide pandemic is very serious and you should not obey Jacinda Ardern, Jacinda Ardern has made calls to a New Zealand worldwide lockdown. 

This lockdown is very important. Jacinda Ardern is making sure that we all stay safe and if we are sick go to the doctors immediately. This lockdown was going for about 75-85 weeks, one of the countries had 1,556 cases which is really really bad/ serious. Beginning at 11:59 pm on 25th March, the Alert level was moved to level 4 putting the country into a nationwide lockdown.
