Math Whizz

I like Math Whizz because it is fun and it's helping me with multiplication and other stuff. The last thing I did on Math Whizz was about Time. You have to move the arrow's around and you have to copy what was on the timer. 

The thing I like about Math Whizz is when you Finnish a task on Math Whizz you get money and with that money you can go to the Whizz shop and buy yourselves pets or toys for your bedroom but it's not a normal room its a virtual room.

   

Will.i.am

You will never know who came to our school . Will.i.am . Will.i.am is a hip hop star who used to sing with the Black Eyed Peas. He presented the Manaiakalani Education Trust with a check for $100 000 to put towards learning! This money will be shared between the schools in the Manaiakalani cluster and help us to become more and more clever in this digital world!! We are so thankful 

Lorenzo Reading Reflection Log 2013

The book I am reading this week is Astrosaurs Academy. This book is about Teggs Stegosaur which is the main character in the book. This book is about Teggs Stegosaur is a pupil at the Astrosaurs Academy where all astro-cadets go to complete their training. He hope to become an ASTROSAUR one day but now he has classes to attend, missions to complete and lessons to learn. I like this book because it's cool and it fun to read it. Can't wait to read more

What My Friends Say About Me

On the last day of  term 1 , our class had to put on piece of paper on our back. Them we had to walk around the class and so of our  friends in our class could write some positive thing about them. After that we looked at our paper's and were surprised what  people wrote about us.

Three of the things that somebody wrote about me, was that I like how your so fast, your pretty and I love it when you share you sushi. I was very surprised what my friends wrote about me. 

Fiafia 2013

For the past 5 week we have been practicing for Fiafia. An on the 18th on Thursday we are going to do the haka in front of all our family and friend.

I'm in the kapa haka group, we have little kids in our group and they are going to sing with us at the end and their teacher is Ms Tito.

We practise in the library, But sometime it get hot and that we have to go outside and go under the tree and practise. My group is cool because I got all my best friends and we got the best Maori teacher and her name is whaea Sophie.

We practice after lunch time at two o'clock. I like going to kapa haka because my friend and I go hard out when we do the haka and when we sings. After we finish sing and doing the haka we have a break and we get back into it. At three O'clock we go back to class and go home    

Harakeke

Last week my class and I walked down to the Omaru Creek. We went there to go and pick some harakeke (flax) and to learn about the flax and what to do and how to cut the flax.

First we had to sit down and then Miss T our teacher said to the class what to do and what not to do. She said to us you never take the one in the middle.  The child (middle one), parents (first one on either side) and if you cut them the whole plant dies.  She said never cut them at night and when it raining (you never cut then at night because you will not know which one is the baby, mother and father).  So after that Miss T gave us a sharp knife and then we had to get into partners.

My partner was Richard. We Got a good piece of flax for the two of us and it was big. Then when all of the class had their flax, Miss T said to us to line up and walk back to school and sit down and wait. Miss T said to get into a big circle. Then we started to make our a flower out of the harakeke and some of us finished and some of us didn't. But it was fun and I hope we do it again.

Tuakana\Teina ( Big brother of Sister or Little brother and Little Sister

For the past few week room 19 have been to the school library and little students from room 9 have been coming reading to us. So far these past week I have enjoyed and so has my partner and his name is Bobby John his nickname is BJ. BJ doesn't like reading but I encourage him to read, He always stops & waits for me to tell him the word, I would suggest telling him to sound it out , but that doesn't happen. He likes really easy books that toddlers read. I laugh but at the same time that doesn't help him with his reading. When he gets older I hope he's going to be a good reader.
