Maths medals

Today for maths medals we did some converting fractions to decimals. The easiest part for me was doing the first five because they were easy. And the hardest part for me was doing the last ones but it was my brothers birthday so we went to my nana and grandads and my nana knew how to do it so she taught me how to do it.

Islamic new year

Today for literacy medals we had to pick a new year and mine is the Islamic new year hope you enjoy. The easiest part for me was picking what new year to do because I decided just to pick a random one. And the hardest part for me was thinking of what questions to search up because I didn't know what they can and can't do. By Harrison

Chinese new year

Today for literacy medals we did some research on the Chinese new year. what we had to do was make a slide of the stuff we researched.

Maths medals

Today for Maths medals We did rounding decimals to the nearest odd number. For this, i did quite a lot but I could have done more but by then you could hardly see the numbers. The easiest part for me drawing the lines and looking if the numbers were odd as a whole number. And the hardest part for me was being able to see the numbers after I had gone over them a couple times. By Harrison

Blog contract

  Today for literacy medals one of the activities is to do a blog contract activity the one that I chose is on pets. 

I have two pets their names are chip and Alfie chip is a cat and Alfie is a dog. Chip is my cat because I feed him so I'm his favourite but dad says chip is his favourite. Every night I feed chip when he comes in but in the last three nights he hasnt come in. But mum doesn't 100% know she saw him in the paddock or not.  We got chip on my mum's birthday but we changed it to the day after my mum's birthday so it was on benny's birthday and below are some pictures of chip when we first got him. 

Matariki forward planning

Today for literacy medals we had to do forward planning for what you would like to do next year. The easiest part for me was thinking of things I would like to do next year because i am missing doing them. it was fun to think of these things I can get to do again soon. 

How could you plan to enjoy more of the things that you value in your year ahead?

I just have to ask mum if we can do them.

How have these activities helped you to reflect on the year just been and what is important to you?

By realizing what I miss doing why we are stuck at home on lockdown.

My happy place 

My happy place is Lake Brunner, Moana. We have a batch thereand every holidays we get to go there. Last christmas we went there for almost six weeks! When we go there we allways bring our bikes so we can go and find places to jump with our freinds from Christchurch one of them is really good he can do no hands while he's in the air. Their names are Jasper ,Jonty, James and Saxon but Jaspers nickname is Jabba so we call him Jabba.One time when me Jabba and Jonty were jumping a driveway with a curb then when I jumped it for the second time my back wheel hit it and i rid down the big grass hill on my front wheel and nearly went over the bars.





When we were there it was daylight savings so we were out jumping to about 9:30 like every night. When we go there Nanny and Grandy stay there with us when they are there we have BBQs and get to go to the pub for tea it's just across the road so we walk.Some times we go jumping off the swing bridge with Payton Quaid and Kolten and one time Kohen and Lakyn came and we jumped off the bridge with them all that was cool. Even some times we go elling and fishing with our friends. And here are some photos of us at Moana.

Matariki

Today for literacy medals I did a Matariki reflection on the last year. The easiest part for me was putting the pictures in the slide because all you had to do was press insert image and press upload from computer and choose which image you want. And the hardest part for me was going through my mum's phone and getting photos.

And It was really fun looking at what I did last year there is a lot of pictures of me at motocross in nelson and stuff. There are also some pictures of me playing rugby and league and some pictures with my friends

And there wasn't a hard bit for me because it all was really easy. By Harrison

Greymouth star interview

Today for literacy we had to do a newspaper article on our interview that we did. The easiest part for me was writing the date because its pretty simple to write.

T shaped reading

Today for T shaped reading it has changed to Matariki because it is nearly Matariki time and also because it is term 2. above is the piece of work that I did for online school. all we had to do was watch a video of a lady reading the stolen stars of Matariki and then write down how the story could have ended and we had to rewrite the end of the story in our own words. The easiest part for me was finding a picture because all you have to do is search up Matariki stars and it will come up. And the most difficult part for me was figuring out what the Maori words mean. B Harrison

And next time I would write why we are going to stand at our gates at dawn and why we are in lockdown. By Harrison
