Today in literacy Mrs Stone and the rest of the class decided to do an experiment. we were just talking about what we were going to start off for literacy, When mrs stone asked us what we wanted to do some of us wanted to do the science writing an finish off doing the genius hour. so ms just made us pick between those two. a couple minutes went by along by now were now talking about solids,liquids and gases, kids gathered by than they put this paper oval on the chair someone had turned the lights off then one of the students just lit off the paper on fire and there it was just melting the softness away from the paper,when he finish lighting it the paper just melted away by melting away it soon after floated into the air softly including it just seemed like it vanished into thins of paper, for awhile it just started to smell smokey. How the tea bag floated was because how the cold air outside of the tea bag was normal but when the fire burnt it the particles just starting going off and...

Bed mas takes operations in the algebra basics,meaning by that to solve bed mas there is a lot of questions to solve and it could be difficult to find out. there may be some questions with multiple operations. cause we all would no what bed-mas stands for. even using this for an example 72 divided by ( 3 x 2 ) - (10 + 1 ) = -1. So to solve this problem we would have to split all of it up so starting with 72 divided by (3 x 2 ) - (10 + 1 = but what is 72 divided by 6 - 11 = but there still is one more thing to add up to so 12 - 11 = 1 so the answer for this equation equals 1 .   

china isn't an easy place to settle down but i bet its fun to travel around to all the city's and places.

Do you just ever feel like you need self time for your self,but would you ever just go live somewhere far far away? well here's a interesting story and some facts about going similar or far away places.

A women who is lovely and kind. but later on till when her husband gets home something terrible happens. click here to read.

What happened many years ago? well there use to be a time when houses were just dust cold and damp in new zealand. Some wouldn't wanna live in houses that couldn't keep their families safe. so the government built new houses including most of them are owned by him and have less rent to pay.

Knowing whether these story's are factual or satirical. like if someone was telling you to come over to their house to play but they had said that 2 weeks ago to you. but ends up realising it was planned last year the party play had happened.

This is all about reading through different story texts and understanding it. I've read through the texts and answered them all.

This is mostly about the Sistine chapel along with Michel Angelo :) . and how ever over the very past years that he has lived he was asked by someone to paint the Sistine chapel that obviously looks like a church inside but actually isn't. His artwork took a very long time to paint and i bet he got paid a lot of mulaa. here are some interesting facts about Michelangelo . . Enjoy!

Reading about this wonderful women was inspiring. what I mostly loved about her artwork was some of the artifices to it all cause she put good reasons to it and I couldn't read through it because i'd get confused most of it all. doing research on her in inquiry class was fun!

In the middle block today, there was a guy named Tony/Toni who'd come talk to us year 8's about puberty. For some of the students they were excited to be talking about it or some would even be in the awkward situation to be listening. This wasn't just the first time he came here, the last time he came was a couple of months ago, back then he talked about how he really loved to sing but his music teacher took a listen to what he sounded like, instead of telling him how good he was she told him that he was bad at singing, The Attitude talk was all about your body or what goes through life when you are going through puberty. he talked about all kinds of things  ... such as physical changes,including yes puberty does start off from when you are very small.  through starts from childhood and ends in adulthood.body parts along as how you can help your body more healthy and try to eat healthy product of foods. With just the year 7 an 8's was fun, cause when moments came when ...

Knowing what some people are up to around countries, like what prince harry and Meghan.

This is a tattoo artist, he comes from the Su'a Suluape family. in his family there are tattoo artists just like him who does these kinds of tattoos.

she was very young when she once started doing graffiti. or If you ask, Yes she is famous and is a really great graffiti artist, she may look like the type who doesn't fit doing graffiti but she actually is Amazing doing murals around the town.

This term for Inquiry we are learning a lot of body movements 

                                                          I partially disagree that animals should not be treated with more respect especially if they are pests who are killing native animals in New Zealand. I think this cause when The Government wanted people to get rid of pests such as rats,possums and stoats,before 2050. or all the pests do is sleep hunt then eat. And I think this is a good idea to get rid of all pests who are killing animals like birds, their eggs, lizards, Even cats are pests,it’s true though they are because they rarely do catch birds from all kinds. But Possums they are the worst ones in NZ, this is why we are allowed to hunt them down because their killing kiwis from everywhere around in NZ. Even though some predators are from out of new zealand especially possums,This has to stop before it damages our kiwi’s then fr...

Does the future have a meaning to it at all? I insist that the future will have a lot of problems and things that wouldn’t include people robing each other,or getting murdered by a sociopath who is after them. In 2060 there’ll be air pollution happening only in countries that have polluted waters. By the way before air pollution happened in 2040 there would be floods because everywhere around New Zealand only some drains do not flood or Global warming will start to invade, And this is what I believe New Zealand could look alike. Technology will take over half of new zealand including Stewart island,because the prime minister Jacinda Arden will solve something out to make new zealand a better place. Portals coming from mysterious dimensions, it’s kinda like going back in time, Or For now she’s watching over Auckland City,Gisborne,new Plymouth. Napier, till stopping at Kaikoura. Some governments,prime ministers would come here to help cause over wherever their from nothing Terrible h...

Tribes are found all over the world in random places such like the forest. and when they stay as tribes then comes along people who want to cut down trees but they don't just cut down the trees they threaten them.

I wonder what it would look like if I travelled back to the future. Probably things would change it's mainly like an Upgrade for NZ.

It’s mainly when a person who has to obey their owner and would have to follow orders that they give them then they would do it. So they were mainly enslaved. Maybe back in the days - 1619, the people who’d owned slavery would forced the slaves to their things or pick up their hell a of a muck. On that year 1619 many Africans were brought to some English people in Virginia of Jamestown, from there the historians Because people only wanted slaves so that they could do the jobs for them. And that was just sad & lazy, plus most of the slaves were Africans, none of them were white Europeans or other terms of culture. And there were only 20 slaves doing that job. It’s really sad how just most of the Africans who were enslaved were captured.we don’t even no we're the English colony brought them from,okay so some would either be kidnapped, or the people who’d captured them would put them as slaves as punishment for them. There’d be many reasons for them to be who they are now. These...

So Today our Teacher Mr Wise men said to us that we have options to choose what kind of features of movements we could do, Because this term the name of the schools topic is "Move ya body". While that was happening, in Inquiry the middle block I partnered up with one of my friends Jasmyne. Me and her decided to search up online what kind of dances there were because we didn't know what we were going to do.but the easiest way to do that was by going on to YouTube. the teacher said that there'd be a performance coming or something like that, so there would have to be a couple of practices for me and her if that was going to happen. A couple minutes later she came up with an idea, that idea was doing line dancing, line dancing was a little like doing country style but I thought we had to change it up a bit. We could've put some hip hop music that would go right with it, Searching up what kind of line dancing there were, but me and her wanted to do a lot of line dan...

Things to know about Nelson Mandela.

What’s an up stander? What does that mean? Being an up stander to friends/people can be helpful to them because they learn something from you, And maybe to them they might think they look up to you as their role model. Or anything Special. Pushing forward really gets it, helping others, moving on, or even standing up to kids/people that are bullies. Like for example Martin Luther King was a up stander, he did protests because he knew things weren't right. The meaning of this is recognising something that is wrong and tries to help that person to make it right. For that if we are trying to help that person we would actually try an support them of whatever their going through. Even protecting them from being hurt. Plus it’s like Nelson Mandela, he served his country but some government was taking his country stood by some white men and they would put the white one step ahead of them and wouldn’t care about the blacks. So what Mandela had to do was that he had to do protest,But so i...

So he was a good man, He was a priest and he was involved in things like social and political movements. its kinda weird his real name isn't "Martin Luther King Jr." it's actually Michael, He got Martin Luther from a protester who was German protestant religion & established.

Playing cards with just the four of us was fun playing, plus everyone in the room looked like they were having fun as well.

Nelson Mandela is a well known person to many people cause he helped black and white people out. Because at first while the government had white men by him they would treat white people right but just layer black people in the wrong places. but as in today some people out there in the open world are still racists which is really not okay.

Learning how to solve these problems were pretty hard to work on. but Now I've finished it.

Do you know what a promise is? A promise is when people make a promise of something and they cannot break it. These kids/people are trying to figure out how they can save their survival or if they will even make it.

I have been trying my best to figure this out and its not that easy but I tried to do my very Best.

To me Tim Tams are my favourite biscuit to have wherever I am or whenever I want I just feel like having Tim Tams, Because they have that mouth- watering texture to it that just goes automatically with it Or creamy caramel that blends in with the rest of the hard crispy biscuit.       The smell of that smooth chocolatey, the feel of it feels rippled and what a scrumptious biscuit. How it tastes so delightful that the centre of the middle fills your mouth up with more love of it! Chewy caramel with a dash of chocolate just goes with all of the sweet chocolate coated. So I refer having Tim tams are the best biscuit to have, because of the sweetness that it has in it.

This reading this week has been fun for me to do on my own. As you can see down bottom here are some things that describe me as someone who I really am and supposed to be. Like what things I most value in life.

Dumplings are the BEST! But did you know that Dumplings were originally made in Eastern Han Dynasty over 1,800 years ago. And the person who’d made these scrumptious dumplings name is Zhang Zhongjing. He developed the first dumplings, which were filled with mutton, chilli and herbs. So this was how this appetising! Food was made and how it got people to love it. You could also have it crunchy deep fried or regular steamed dumplings :). But there’s nothing better than eating dumplings & when looking at it you just know it tastes scrumptious , when you dip it right into your mouth it hits your head. and with that soil sauce on it that would just melt in your mouth or the sweet softness of it that just disintegrates inside. Or the feel of it is slippery slimy so that is why you would have to use chopsticks.   Smelling it cooking, you get that Chinatown smell it smelt like Classic chicken dumplings, Sometimes when test tasting it may be bland but it would...

What does it mean to not always have hope of things. When others think what they want is going to really happen .. happens to them because they put hope in it too much and they realised they just wasted their time on others that didn’t notice or Care. People out there are putting on themselves hope that isn't either gonna come true because there is no coming true for anybody here, So just be careful around the people you talk to because you never know how trusting at times they can be. Even if it’s either a close friend you usually talk to or just randomly just met them. To be honest there are some hopes out there and people you can truly trust but just not All of them.

"Some people Just don't understand on whats the real thing that's going on here" When the Sniper found out he'd Just Recently killed his brother he knew it was a grave mistake and he wished he would of never done that. But right from where his enemy was marking him as a target, He wondered why his Brother had been against him on Everything. For some reason A long time ago him and his brother were close as anything,And this was before the sniper had done these Horrible things to people,Before There even became enemy's, Before there became War! . The Sniper had a Secret that only his brother knew and he couldn't tell anyone because it was none of their Concern.   So in 1972 The sniper had been in a Accident, but in the accident it caused him  Skull  fracture, Right back then he couldn't remember anything, not even his brother but one time when his brother came to visit him Sniper saw him as a threat. It took him a long time to recover, but in 1976 T...

SNIPER! . . Whats a Sniper, is a Sniper a person or Something, Does it have any hobbies?? Who knows. But this Week I have been Just focused on this Activity and trying to do my best at it. So in this story it's All about Being in war. But this is not just any War it's the "Irish Civil War" Back in 1919-21 There was a war that fought Between The IRA and the British, But when the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed some of the members from the IRA supported for this treaty, And only some of them Turned against them because they thought it wasn't enough freedom for them.

This Week I've been trying to learn what Happened between the war. Even though a lot of people Fight in wars an theres been a lot of wars. But this is about three different stories that happened in the war.

I have been problem solving this?

Paper Planes On the 2nd of July Team 5 held an Expo that included things like "The cup challenge or Trying out the Marshmallow balloon maker. There were a hole heap of things that was going on in the Block. and the teachers said that there would be some classes coming in from Team 4 to come and check things out, But the first class that was to come was room 6, Right from the doors that most of us would come in the mornings for the Start of the day. Also right where the door was and were they would be coming in . . there would be guides to show them around an explaining of what others were doing, well kids at their table about what they were doing. For the Expo for me & my group decided to make these Marshmallows shooters, These are all about how just putting them in and trying to make them shoot and aim for the target really. My group did it the other way around when we all went out into the street and was trying to prepare for after morning tea, Oh and our names were Me of...

This Week In literacy, I have been working on what is a thousands words.

What Makes an Effective Leader? Write an essay that explains what makes an effective (or good) leader. Ideally this would be a five paragraph essay (including the introduction and conclusion). Remember, you are explaining what makes a person a good leader (what a good leader does) not talking about what you would do personally.                                                                 PARA 1 How being a good leader means affecting others. Being a good leader means taking a Big Responsibility, This means taking charge of being on time to a sports meeting or a teachers meeting. Or anything else that means being on time, When Being a leader People have to loo...

Carly Starts to have a throgging throat and cannot handle it. But then such a Mystery A ghost girl follows her till she gets home and is not invited in? What will happen next, Will someone die or someone find out what they haven't heard yet?

TO BE CONTINUED. . .

It's that time of the year or like a Century ago People would protest about what they weren't happy about. Like how Maori people weren't happy back in the days because the Government let The Pakeha settler's take their land for them.

Do you know what’s it like to be homeless? Have you ever been Homeless? People being homeless means that they don’t have any food, they don’t have currently anything actually. You don’t know if they have been abused by their family members so yeah Abuse,Bullying,being threatened is actually a big deal now because Cyberbully already happens to high school kids that go to school and have to put it with it. But people walk past them maybe everyday and don’t offer them any help or care about them or that. Respect : Probably over a million or even a billion can’t even give them respect. To me I see that they’d rather show them disrespect.  But some people are really generous and actually care, that a person that’s helpful and careful to, Teaching them something Taking them in, Caring for them,Also making them feel safe? Some people that take the homeless people in is something new to them because they’d maybe live on the streets all their lives. Their needs - hmm poor people with...

People should stop littering around the world because it affects others and can kill animals. And their not looking after the environment properly.

On a nice Sunny day where the birds are Chirping and the sky is aqua Blue. Me and my family was going on a trip down to Have lock just for a wedding and a little bit of holiday too, But to get there we had to travel a long way, Tbh nelson was far so we would have to go on the plane to get there. Plus the plane that was heading to Auckland to Nelson it took long and we had to wait awhile for it. So me,my sister and my mum went to go wait, Finally we went because we had been waiting for 2 hrs now . On the night ~ Three hrs Later, When we got to nelson we all had to wait for a taxi to get here, And we had a lot of luggage, 12.05am we got to the hotel and I could tell we were late :0 . But the owners left a note on the front door. The funny thing was they left a note but they didn't leave the key on the note, It almost felt like we had to find the key and it was like the game treasure hunt. A couple minutes later my mom found the key and opened the door, We didn't realise anybody...
