Math

Today Mrs. Tofa split our small class into three groups of 3 and one group of 2.

Problem:

Mirama is making an Ei' Katu. 25% of the Ei' Katu has Pink Flower, 1/5 has yellow flowers and 10% has White Flowers. What is the fraction or Percentage of the Ei' Katu is leaves?

Firstly, we had to convert the 1/5 into a percentage. 5 ÷ 100 = 20.

25% + 10% + 20% = 55% - 100% = 45%

45% are the leaves on the Ei' Katu.

Here is my strategy

Refugee Poem

                                           Refugee Poem

I'm an human,

You’re an object.

I can get a job,

You’ll be locked up.

I can get an education,

You don’t have that privilege.

I can have fun,

You’ll be bored.

I can visit places,

You’re in a ‘Detention Center’.

We're alike, we shouldn’t be treated this way. Our comparisons are very uncommon. We are humans and that's what we have in common.

I worked on this task with my bsf: Jasel. We were pleased with the way our paragraph came out.

Snow Planet Trip !!!

 Thump, Thump, Thump

I was rolling down the hill with my inflatable tube. Luckily nobody was watching. I got back up and pushed myself to the top. Once I got there I was wheezing down the slide with my inflatable tube.

Before I get to the point of my recount, the gears were very hard to get on,, at least I think it was. The boots were so heavy that I couldn't walk properly. But I got use to the heavy feeling.

Once I got to the end I got right up and ran to the escalator and it took me to the top and oh boy the snow stairs were very much icy if you take the wrong step. I ran around and had so much fun with the people around me. I even created myself a snow angle.

The building was filled with lots of laughter, chatter and lots of fun. WHOOSH!!, there I go again, sliding down the slope and having a lot of fun. I was wheezing all over the place. The building felt like the inside if a cold freezer. 

I had so much fun there, Thank you Mrs. Patea for organizing this for our year 7's and 8's. Also Thank you to the teachers that took their time to take us there. It was absolutely fun.
