YMCA Camp

 This week for writing we wrote about our favourite camp activity. Then we said why it was our favourite. After that we said two of the six c's that we thought we showed the most.

YMCA Camp 

By Lakia

In Week 8 of Term 3 my hub went to Wainui YMCA camp, I really enjoyed the experience. My favourite activity out of all of them was high ropes. Before I got up I was scared because I thought I was going to fall.Once I got up, I found out it was actually really cool and existing.

I think the two C’s that I demonstrated the most in high ropes would have been Critical Thinking and Character. Because of Critical Thinking you had to see patterns and connections and use common knowledge. I think I showed Character because I had to be confident and work through challenges and setbacks.

Writing

For writing this week we picked a topic that we wanted to write about and then made into a persuasive argument. My topic was "Money cant buy happiness" this is my writing.

                                             

                                                Money cant buy happiness

                             

Introduction: Money is just a tool in your life, I don't think it can buy your happiness. Because happiness is a feeling not something you find in a store. sure your buy things that can make you happy but those thing don't last long.   

Main point 1: First let’s talk about, how you could have all the money in the world but it still wouldn't matter because if your brain is unhappy you are unhappy. Researchers surveyed more than 450,000 people to look for a correlation between each person's emotional wellbeing and their level of income. The researchers found that money does increase one's emotional wellbeing, but only up to a certain point. Up to $75,000 per year. 

Main point 2: Your money isn't the thing that is going to make you happy true happiness comes from within. To be happy you need good social relationships, good mental health and good physical health. Your money isn’t going to make all that happen. 

Main point 3: I don't think you should have to have money to be happy. Because money doesn't last forever and the happiness that comes along with wont either. Your money isn't the most important thing in the world. 

Conclusion: Your happiness is more important then your money. Because your happiness determines your mood, your attitude and the way you feel about life. Rhetorical Question: What would you rather a happy life, or a unhappy life with money?

 As I see my cat when I wake up in morning. 

the bright lights make my eyes water.

I open my curtains and see outside my window.

When I brush my hair I see my reflection in the mirror.

I walk into the kitchen and the smell of toast wafts around the house.

I sit down to eat and I feel the cold chair.

I feel the scratchy toast going down my throat.

I put my shoes on and feel the cold mettle buckle clinking.

I hear the beep of putting the alarm on.

I feel the fresh air blowing in my face as I walk outside.

Ready for school.

Can you spot one of the sensors?

Writing Kaupeka’s Purerehua's

 For writing this week we had to wright an article about something in your community I wrote about Kaupeka’s Purerehua's and interviewed my friend about them. Here is what I wrote.  

                                                      Kaupeka’s Purerehua's 

 This term in Kaupeka we have been trying to get a better understanding of our Tūrangawaewae. So we have created Purerehua. The word Purerehua is Maori for butterfly, it is called this because when you spin it around it sounds like a big butterfly flapping its wings. Maori used to use the Purerehua not only to make a sound but also to call the rains to wet their crops, and to bring lizards out of hiding. Our Purerehua has to have meaning to it, so most of them have Maori designs, or you mountain or your river. Mine has all of them. It has got Mangopare which symbolizes natural abundance, strength and determination. Amelia’s opinion on our Purerehua’s: I think they are cool and creative because you can design your own and it tells other people about who you are and where you come from.

Rad Reading

 This week for reading we had to make a new space for Christchurch. Me and Amelia made an ice skating rink. On top of it it has a green house showing and selling New Zealand's native plants. Here it is. 

Math

 This week for math we had to pick any question. And then we collated the data and made it into a graph. I did mine on the color of peoples eyes. the most popular eye color was brown eyes. Here is my math.  

• 1. I chose a bar graph because I think it's the easiest  way to present my data.

• 2. My overall findings were that there are a lot of brown and blue eyes and that hazel and green eyes weren't that popular.

• 3. I don't really know why there are more brown eyes than green eyes

•  4. That greens eyes and hazel eyes are nearly the same.

•  5. I have collected my data on a bar graph and did that by going around and asking people what eye color they have.

  

Rad reading

  For reading this week we had to read two different texts about New Zealand. I read Amazing Ideas And  Life in Aotearoa New Zealand. Amazing Ideas was about the Christchurch earthquakes and how three girls wanted to make a safe space for people to hang out in. And Life in Aotearoa New Zealand was about a space where native birds and plants can live.Here are some bullet points I found Interesting.    

            

           Book 1: Amazing Ideas

• The girls felt that since the earthquakes, there were not that many places where people could meet. “ We wanted to create a new place for people to be together.

 

•  They wanted it to be a sustainable, bold different building.

•   They wanted it to be made of recycled materials.

  

              Book 2: Life in Aotearoa New Zealand 

•    There are a lot of native New Zealand animals and plants.

 

•     New Zealand was home to lots of reptiles like lizards, crocodilians and at least seven different species of dinosaur.

•   The tuataras 200 million years ago were bigger than the ones today.

•    Many of the animals died because of the different climate change.
