Day 7 lockdown - What I did today!!

Today on Twitter: "Today in 1888 the very first ...As of today I've decided to write about my days in lockdown. It might not be everyday I'll be writing my day during lockdown but only when I've got something interesting to share. Well, today I've been baking just to keep myself entertained well I'm locked in my house feeling all the boredom you could have ever imagined. Just after finding out we would have no school a few days ago I was so excited but I now realise that I'm tremendously miserable here in my house stuck with all my siblings. But anyways back to what I was talking about. So I was backing some cupcakes for some reason, And I guess I was entertained in a way but was still a bit bored. Why, because the bad side of cooking is that I had to clean up the mess, and that was not very fun. I made some scrumshis chocolate and vanilla cupcakes topped with chocolate chips. The end results was actually pretty good, way better then what I had expected it would have looked like. Sadly I have no pictures of how It looked like at the end because I'm writing this later on.  And so this is day 7 of what I've been doing.

Rainbows End - Word Problem 2



This is my first task I'm putting up on my blog for home schooled or whatever you can call it. This is my math task, It is our 2 Rainbows End word Problem but just with different questions. It's a very different experience working here at home but I feel like it's helping me to increase my focus and helps me to picture the question in my head and makes it easier to figure everything out.

School lockdown

https://media.defense.gov/2020/Mar/12/2002263245/780/780/0/200309-D-HN545-1008.JPG
As you have heard there has been a serious disease going around worldwide called Covid19 but what many people have call it Coronavirus. As many have heard today earlier at around 2:30pm - 2: 45 pm or earlier in the day there was an announcement said by the Minister , Jacinda ardern.  Saying that every school in New Zealand  will be shut down starting tomorrow . So everything is okay and balanced with our education because we still get to work and finish off things like and ordinary day in school but just at home. Our school has Organized a time for us students to be able to do work and talk to our teacher on group chat. So that means I have an opportunity to still share work with you all on my blog. So right now on so on everyone's at home. In New Zealand we have levels ensuring us whatever level we are on is when we need to be cautious. The levels only go up to 4, at the moment we are on level 3 but in 48 hour we will be on level 4 and that's when we will all be in quarantine and not aloud to go out on public.  What's really good is that the shops are still open but we can only go to the shops If we really need to. But anyways this is some updates on what's happening with the situations going around. 

Rainbows End - Word Problem



Task Description: For this task I worked hard by listening more to the question and making sure I have enough information to know how I could work out the questions. Using my thoughts about the plan on the work I had tried to use a smart mind set on what to do to get to the answer. In some of the slides I showed many other ways I could have worked the question differently from my original working out. And so this is my math task for week 8.

Foot locker



This task is about Percentages, doubling and halving. This is my week 7 math work.

Coronavirus past, present and future



Hi, this is my Reading task for week 7. Instead of reading a book we have a task about the coronavirus. We were instructed to read an article on the kiwi kids news about the coronavirus. In the task we answered questions, by getting all the answers to them we read the whole article and got all the information we needed. I've learnt a whole lot from that article and what our country is doing to keep their citizens safe and healthy.

whare tapa wha: Hauora - well being

Which side of the whare you feel you and your whanau have strength in , 2?

Well I feel like my family not only has strength in one corner but in two. Our last whare tapa wha was this same topic but I had chosen Te taha whanau because of the meaning compared to my family. In this blog post we've got given another chance to look at the whare tapa wha sign and choose out of the three that's left to choose which one has more strength in my family.  I reckon after a while of looking and thinking I feel like out of the three that was left Te taha wairua was the one that seemed like the one that has more strength in my family, Because te taha wairua is about religious and how you treat the outdoors and If look after the outdoors by picking up your rubbish and keeping it clean. The reason why this has more strength in my family is because my family is very strong with there believes. My family is christian and we are a church family. My family is very strict with church and all that stuff. Church is very important to us. We don't go over bored we just take our church things serious and important.

Fascinating places in the world

About my topic I will be sharing fascinating places around the world. I will try to share as many places from different locations to make it more interesting for the reader. Before all the interesting facts come crashing into your head let's start talking about breath taking thoughts that could have properly popped in our head, and were one of the most popular attractions in the world. These attractions could be from famous statues to the walk of fame. These are many places that easily catch people's attention. Why, because of the eye catching views.  Today's first adventure takes place in the country Venezuela, the place is  Angel Falls. Angel Falls is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 meters and a plunge of 807 m. The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyán-tepui mountain in the Canaima National Park. If you want to find out some more information about the Angel Falls then look it up online and it will surely give some information about it and some photographs of the magnificent site. Angel falls is an incredible place to take photos .!!
Our next adventure is right in Canada and is Banff National Park. Omg. You definitely need to check out this place online. If you see the place it will be a huge shock feeling going through your head when you see the prettiest waters that you could have ever seen. It’s water looks so calm when you're looking out from a distance on a high peak looking down at the stunning water. I wonder why it's got so much attention to it and makes people want to visit this location. Banff national park is known for the beautiful view. There are many reasons that this place has so many attractions because people go for walks around this place and get to see the sun reflect on the water and make the water shimmer.


In our next location we have a little something different in mind. Instead of sharing something from the wildnest I’ll be sharing something from the city of los angeles and is one of the most special attractions in the world. This is called the Walk of Fame. The walk of fame is known for the stars on the ground when you're walking around the city of los angeles and each star has a famous celebrity's name on them. You could have one of your idols on one of them. Many people that walk on the walk of fame take photos with their icons. It is really cool walking and then looking down and seeing different names that might seem familiar.


Our last destination will be another waterfall type of location but this one is the best and I have done this to make the last bit just a bit more interesting. As our last location I’ve researched and found this place called Niagara falls. It is a huge waterfall where it forms a shape just like the end of an oval but with corners. It looks super cool but a bit scary. It is a beautiful place to look at and focus at the water falling from the edge of that cliff and just feeling super calm. I think It's a really nice place to adventure and learn about its history.

I hope after you’ve read this you're super eager to visit these Amazing attractions and I'm hoping to do some more research about what other amazing places you could learn about. It’s good to do some research because you know that your learning something new about the background storeys to all these Incredible places.

Tech - Week 7


Hi, Today we had tech. As you can see I have a different partner and her name is Tahliyah. For our Dish we made something called: Deviled eggs. During the making of it we had to put a lot of different ingredients we haven't used before here at our cooking class . The meal wasn't presented how we have expected it to look like but I think everything was everywhere just because our containers were way to big. So anyway the ingredients we used was boiled eggs, plain yogurt, curry powder, Mayonnaise, red Capsicums, salad, tomatoes, cucumber and last but not least salt and pepper to add more flavour into the meal. I had a very fun time making the course with my partner because we were just laughing the whole time non - stop. I'm looking forward to next week's meal and what we will be cooking up for the time coming up.  I hope you've found this week such a blast and fun.
"I mean I had a bunch of fun especially Tahliyah."

Look what's happening to the world!!



Look around and see if you realise anything different that has increased throughout this generation. Through these years I have been here on earth the years have changed by creations been shown to the world like Iphones technologies that help to make things much easier, and more fascinating objects that will blow your mind. With the news on the tv we know everything that is happening around the world. But sadly there has been major polluting from all the plastic that comes from our food packaging. Also the gas that comes from our transports which has started with us humans. So many bad things have been happening,I’m not just talking about the country I’m living in, I'm talking worldwide.


Lately in the world there has been a Wild fire that's been spreading in australia, that means it's been very hard for some people to breathe. Houses have been burnt down and destroyed, Animals dying from dehydration and from low oxygen because of the fire that's making the air even harder to breathe and the more the fire increases. That's not all that has been happening in the world. Their has been some news saying there has been sea levels that have been rising because of the plastic that goes into the water and making the water rise. But don't worry about this because we can stop it happening If we look after the earth by picking up our rubbish and by doing that we can start picking up rubbish that we see even If it doesn't belong to us. If we can all do this than It can stop rising.

What makes a strong team !!

 
Topic: What makes a strong team!!
In my point of view I feel like the only thing that makes a team is being a family when everyone is together. Showing your team you can be a team player can show them that you can share the time with everyone during a game of netball, rugby, cricket or even volleyball. But what makes a team is when everyone is cooperating enjoying the time and taking the time to bond and get use to each other. This brings everyone together and makes the game much easier to play, when its smooth and everyone knows what the tactic is. As a member of a netball team at my school we all bond very well and know each other well as years past. But to be honest what really makes a team is when everyone's having fun and not being so stressful during the game. This is my thought about what makes a team !!

Whare tapa wha: Hauora - well being

                                                   
Which side of the whare you feel you and your whanau have strength in ?
From what I see I feel like my family mainly have strength in physical health which is Taha whanau, It's just my side of my perspective. I feel like we mostly have strength on this side because we always try to keep active in most times of our life. When we go to church and play volleyball that's keeping us active and when were running around playing rugby it just the same as volleyball. I mainly go to the netball courts to keep active, I go with my siblings and dad to go do shots and have jogs around the courts. My grandma keeps active when she goes for her morning walks around the block. Taha whanau is not only about keeping active it's also about keeping hygienic and healthy. That goes for cleaning your hands after the bath room or when you've finished playing outside. We always have to wash our hands before eating If we've been playing outside. Taking a bath every night is very good. Especially before going to bed because you feel fresh and not sticky and gross , It also makes it easier for when you wake up and get ready for school. This is what we always make sure to keep in mind. Anyways if you've learnt about the te whare tapa wha Please comment what your family has more strength in!!!

Leading my culture wherever I go is very important. As a proud tongan my culture is something that is a part of me. It is also one of the things that make me , me. As one of the many tongans in this world I represent my culture in any way  possible even through speaking our language or even talking about it.

If you look at the top right side of the screen you can see a bible. If you look closely you can see the words that are written on the bible says, Tongan Bible. The reason I wrote that is because I go to a tongan church. This represents my church side and my religious. I am a christian and is in a family that attends church every week. The lord is a big part of me and my family.  If you are not a believer that is okay. I'm just sharing something that is very important to me. But anyways this bible represents a whole lot in my family. 


                                                     Corner 3 Bottom left side, Information
Moving on to the bottom left side I have words kinda forming a box filled with words describing the word Family. Something I really treasure with in me is my family. In my daily life I spend most of my time with my family. This side on my visual mihi is showing how much my family means to me with just words. I love my family and is the reason It's one of the things I've decided to add on one of the sides.

In the bottom right side is a few sports equipment and the word, Sports. This side is showing my hobbie which is sports.

2020 Releases Im looking forward To!!!!

Image result for what Im looking forward for 2020


Hello and Malo e lelei. Today I've decided to do a bit of free writing. I've decided to write about what I'm looking forward to this year for 2020.  This year there is so much happening, we have fia fia which will be my last fia fia here at Point England school. I also have netball , cross country, and athletics and many throughout the year. This year I am mostly excited for netball because I get to go back to playing my favorite sport. It will also bring my team together and get our team going. I hope me and my team have a great year for the season and improve but also enjoy it and make the most because this is my second to last year playing until we all leave this school and depart and head into collage. I've always loved playing netball when I started in year 5 and now I'm year 7 so I have been playing for 2 years but including this year it will be 3 years. I haven't been playing for a long time but It feels like it has. I'm not only looking forward to netball because I'm also looking forward for to fia fia. This has been happening at our school for many years. Throughout the weeks we have started to practice our culture dances and singing. This year I am in the tongan group just like I have been all the time. Sadly this year will be my last fia fia here in Pt england School because Fia always skips a year. I'm looking forward to the day we will be performing . So far this is what I'm looking forward to this year for 2020.
If you read this please leave a comment about what your looking forward to this year.!!!!:)

Making saagwala at tech - Week 6


Hi, Today I'm going to be explaining my day at tech also giving it a score from 1 out of 10 at the end . For our meal we made something called Saagwala, Its pretty hard to pronounce but you can just look it up on google. This is not really a good angle but I tried my best to show the Saagwala but I didn't want to tip it. I feel like me and my partner did really good at this meal throughout the other weeks here at cooking. A Saagwala is a Indian curry just made with spinach, onions, garlic, plain yogurt, flavourings, can tomatoes, and rice. It was my partners job to dice up the spinach, onions, and the garlic and put them a side on the bored. My role was to get the pan ready and add all the powder stuff that will add some flavour into this meal. I poured in some oil to the pan with my measuring spoon. Once we were instructed to add one at a time our ingredients we would have to start getting everything put away and cleaned. When everything was added in beside the rice and yogurt it turned out really good better then what we expected. After mixing it well for a while we got told to add our cup of plain yogurt into the pan before finishing and putting all the ingredients into the pan. We later got given our rice in a bowl to put in our containers and ready to add it in. Once it was mixed and looked good we cleaned up and setted the food on a counter while we were cleaning and putting things away. When all kitchens were done cleaning and and were approved with the utensils being clean and their kitchens being spotless we all put our aporns away got our chromebooks and food and headed to a separate room. That was the we got to eat our meal and write about today which is what I'm doing right now. Like I said at the start when I said I was going to score out of 1 and 10 here is the time, My score would probably be.... 8 out of 10 for me. But here was my day at tech for week 6, I hope you found this week very fun and exciting.

Week 5 - Tech making veggie up noodles

Today we had tech. For our course we made veggie up noodles. Inside of it holds a lot of ingredients so as noodles , flavoring and many different veggies. We were first instructed to get our utensils to prepare before cooking. Out of our partners we were told to grab a bowl with veggies . That was my friends job well I was given the job to grab the soy sauce, and two pieces of bacon. there was something else but I didn't know what it was called. My partner was chopping the veggies well I was cooking the noodles and chopping the bacon into little pieces. But anyway during the process making this we were slowly adding all the ingredients into the pan where it was going to be mixed in and cooked. We were adding the rest of the ingredients into the pan and finished off by cleaning up and putting back all the utensils to the trolleys they were in at the start of the lesson. Today was very fun because we were given a course that was very enjoyable to make.
