Maori Revision

Today in Maori I learnt how to introduce my self and the person next to me. It was a bit challenging but I got use to it fast. The next step for me to expand my reo is to learn and memorise my pepeha & whakapapa. The things I am learning in class are building up to get me prepared for next years Maori class where I will aim for getting my NCEA Level 1 in Te Reo.

Summarising a Science Text

Key Terms

• Essential Bacteria
• Digestion
• Without bacteria the earth would have no soil in which to grow plants.
• Some bacteria live of the root nodules of some plants
• Energy
• It took approximately 2 billion years for the bacteria to build up enough oxygen in the atmosphere to allow for the evolution of multi-cellular organisms. 
• Bacteria can be helpful and can be harmful

Summarise:

In the world, bacteria plays a big role in the atmosphere as well as in the human body. Bacteria can be harmful and some bacteria can be useful. A way bacteria is harmful is how it spoils food, making it unsafe for humans to consume. Bacteria can be helpful by helping our immune system get stronger and stay healthy. Bacteria is something that has been around for a long time, it has helped with growth of soil/plants and more. Bacteria infections can be treated with antibiotics but bacteria that aren't killed by the medicine, they become immune to the treatment which makes it untreatable. 

Miria 1001 Maori 2017

Te Karakia O Te Atua
E tō mātou Matua i te rangi
Kia tapu tou Ingoa
Kia tae mai tou rangatira-tanga.
Kia meatia tau e pai ai
ki runga i te whenua,
kia rite ano ki to te rangi.
Homai ki a mātou aianei
he taro mā mātou mo tēnei ra.
Murua o mātou hara
Me mātou hoki e muru nei
i o te hunga e hara ana ki a mātou.

Aua hoki mātou e kawea kia whaka-waia;
Engari whaka-orangia mātou, i te kino:

Nou hoki te rangatira-tanga,

te kaha,
me te kororia,
Ake, ake, ake.
Āmine.

Recap: Website - Tools And techniques

In Digital Technology's we have been learning about coding. Part of coding is the HTML which helps structure a website. We learnt how to use the HTML codes to create our websites and here is a recap of the codes we used. This is just to show how codes work and go together like a jigsaw puzzle. It was fun to do but was challenging at time but those challenges were resolved by the help of my teacher and peers.

Book Week

This week my class was assigned to a task where we had to make a poster on our favourite author. We choose Elisabetta Dami because we love her books, the pictures, humour, the different fonts and the mysteries. We completed this task within a week and a bit. Every student in our class helped with ideas and the construction of the poster and we worked very well at the back of the class.

Key Competencies

They are very important in Room 12. As a matter of fact they are important for the whole of Ruapotaka School. Teachers expect students to use all 5 key competencies to help you through your school years. They might seem dumb but they actually play a very big part in our lives. For example “Thinking” and “Managing” yourself and be work wise can help with your education. 

 “Thinking” is how you find information, improving it, reflecting, being creative and gathering ideas. 
“Managing Self” is how you use your time in class. So this is like managing your time in class and at home and making goals that you can achieve in the future. 
“Using Language, Symbols and Texts” is how you share your work with others in different ways. 
“Participating and Contributing”  is when you take on responsibilities confidently when you are in a group. Joining in and being fair. 
“Relating to Others” is how you mix in with people and interact with others. 

Do you have key competencies in your classroom? You could ask your principal if you can have all 5 on a wall reminding students how to behave and act. We have ours on our wall.
