Niue Mathematics

WALT: Learn more about Geometry, fractions, and Niue

It's Niuean Language week! For Niuean language week Room, 5 has been focusing on Niue and its culture. In honor of Niuean language week, we had to solve Niuean-related math problems. These problems mainly focused on Geometry, Position, Orientation, and fractions. I worked with my maths group which include three other members. Our work is down below. 

Reflection:

I found it hard to solve the first problem.

I found it easy to work in a group.

Maybe next time I could put a little more effort into it.

Pet/Ag Day

 WALT: Create interesting creations with recyclable materials.

On the 30th of September at Ahipara School, we celebrated pet day. Our normal celebration however was forced to be canceled and re-made into a new plan. Pet day is also called Ag day, short for Agricultural day. The idea is basically in the name. You bring your pet to school and basically show them off! Dress them up, walk them around, and the best part is, you get a fun day. However as you can imagine, covid hit hard. Very hard. We were forced to go into level three which caused us to go into lockdown. By the time pet day came around, it was still level two. This meant that judges couldn't judge the students, and parents couldn't enter the school. As you might think, we were super freaked out. But luckily for us, the teachers came up with a compromise. Instead of a normal pet day, we could make recycled animals, potato characters, Orca drawings, and much much more. Here are a few photos of our incredible day!

Reflection:

I found it hard to: get recyclable materials to create a creature.

I found it easy to: draw my whale/orca.

Maybe next time I could: Put more effort into my projects, and work.

Thanks for reading about our pet day! Have you ever had a pet day before?

WALT: Write A Deconstructed Holiday Recount. 

At the beginning of Term 3, Room 5 had to write about our holidays. I decided to write about a car crash.  

Reflection: 

I think I was good at using long and detailed words.

I found it difficult to come up with words that are very interesting and captivates the reader.

Maybe next time I could make my story a bit more descriptive and longer.

Get Into Gaming

 WALT: Understand What Gaming Is 

I learned that esports is not physical sports, but mental sports that challenge your mind and your abilities. Esports is also another way of saying 'professional gaming' and or 'competitive gaming'
