corn art

We have been study about corns and for art we did corn painting.
First we use a pencil to sketch our corn picture.
Secondly we started painting it.
Painting the kernels was a bit tricky because we have to fill the caps with a darker colour then use gold or light yellow to paint the kernels.
When it's dry then we use a black vivid to draw the outline.  I am very pleased with my painting.

All about me

ALL ABOUT ME

Malo e lelei, my name is Sete and I'm 12 years of age and I am going to tell you all about me.

I am full Tongan and I come from a family of 7. Most of us like to play rugby. In our family we love watching rugby besides my mum. I am quite different to the others in my family. When they are cleaning up I'll play games untill I go to sleep. When they tell me to clean up I'll say I'm busy playing games. My favourite games are BO2, Mafia, Sniper and my most favourite game is GTA.

When I grow up I want to be an electrician or a police officer and if I don't get any of these jobs, my backup job is to be a builder just like my dad. My talents are kicking, boxing and playing games.

When I'm 16 I am going to get a beagle dog and that is all about me.

From this Figure it out book

how to use the power of and times tables
like 2 to the power of 6 is 64 and 9 x 12
=108 my strategy for 2 to the power of 6 is 2x2x2x2x2x2=64 so that is what I have learned this week.

Maths

This week we are learning to recall the numbers of grouping of tens,hundreds,and thousands that can be made from a number of up to seven digits.I have learned how to solve a question quite fast. 

Next week I hope I move up a level.

fractions

An excellent fractions booster activity from BGFL. There are five levels to work through. In level 1 you simply type in the number of children to share the pizza and the pizza will be cut into fractions for you. At Level 2 you drag fractions to complete a fraction wall. In Level 3 you have to count the number of shaded squares and the total number of squares then type in the fraction (use a slash e.g. 1/4). Level 4 introduces a fraction numberline for you to drag the fractions onto. Level 5 uses a pizza to illustrate fraction equivalences.

sumdog soccer

This game taught me my multiplication and a little bit of skills I
liked this game because it can teach you any thing. Next time I want
to play the fractions games.

how to move a big tree

Walt:write an explanations

A big tree was no longer need so it had to be moved somewhere else

First you cut some of the fronds from the palm tree with a chainsaw so the  palm tree can stay alive.

After that you use paint to mark where they are going to digge. Then you must dig around the tree following the paint mark with a  dig trench because it much easier and faster.

Then they connect the wire  to the digger and the wire lift up the tree. While the digger lift up the palm tree the others put wood on the tree then tied it with a chain  so the chain does not damage the tree.

Then they lift it onto the truck. They put a net on to the fronds.

Caring for planet Earth

Caring for planet Earth

First to keep planet Earth alive you recycle,reuse and reduce It Is always good to recycle paper and cardboard so It can be turned into new paper and  new cardboard then you can use It again.If you recycle milk contains It will be turned into tiles and cardboard.

Secondly to keep planet earth alive you can reuse thing like newspaper so you can use It for art and you can reuse more than one thing and you can reduce.

Lastly reduce Is another way to keep planet earth alive.If you reduce Is a great thing to do because If you don't there will be rubbish taking a lot of space but If you do there will be space to plant something there.

This are three thing you can do to keep planet earth alive It is very important so you must care about planet earth.If no ones  care about planet earth we will all die that why It Is important.

Fiestas new broom

Walt:Explanations

Fifita could not lift his teacher's broom because it was really heavy for him. So he made his own.

First Fifita went and got fronds from the coconut tree to use it. Fifita was a smart boy he pulled of the fronds one at a time.He used the knife to scrape off the liffey bit and used the spine off the frond. Aunty Tesia helped Fifita make the handle.

Then he put the spin on the handle and use the coconut fibre around the spin to hold the fronds together. Then Fifita had finished making his own broom.

When Fifta went to school he sweep his class room floor.
