Mary Jane - Wonder reflection

Today the senious of Tamaki primary / Room 7 to 10 went to watch a movie to watch a new movie that just came out, That movie is Wonder the movie wonder is about a boy with a wonder because of his rare difromatie that has affected his face. 

This difromatie is called treacher collins syndrome and it affects someones face and in this case it has affected a little boy named August, This movie was very cool and had a lot of good things to tell adults and also young children as well because it tells people to acept people for who they are and a qaote that I really liked was if you ever have the choice of being right and being kind always chose kind.

Mary Jane - Mauri ( Sense of belonging )

This Morning my class room 10 and room 9 did a small task that inculding drawing and and Mauri but some students weren't here but it was fun because it was really quiet and I did a lot of work and things like that, In this task we had to draw things that represented us and our Mauri which if some of you didn't know Mauri means a sense of belonging so we had to draw something that mean't to us and what made us feel like we belong and we used symbols and drawing to do that.

The first thing I drawed was a symbol that contected together and I used this to represent family and friends because no matter how many times we fight and yell at each other we always seem to get back together just like the symbol, Another reason why I chose this symbol is because it means that again no matter what we do to each other and how angry we get we always get back to being friends and becoming as one just like the symbol.

The second symbol I did was a moon and a star to represent home because when I have family I have a home and also because we always spend time together as a family and things like that and also because we spend night and day together so thats why I did that symbol and things like that but the main reason is because the moon and the stars are like your home because no matter what it always follows you and our ancestors well my ansectors used the moon and the stars to find their which is another reason why I did this symbol.

The second to last one or the thrid one is a flower this flower symbol represents love because I think love blooms just like a flower sometimes when flowers bloom they dont last long and weren't ready to bloom just like love but some flowers bloom and last for a very long time despite having troubles like no rain no sun and that like some relesionships they last long even though they face challenges that is why I chose the flower symbol.

The last one is a Cook Island flag which shows my Cook Island flag this is only a small amount of my cultures which is why I have only done one and the reason is because the past year I got to learn more about my Cook Island side and things like that so thats why I have chosen this as a symbol.

Mary Jane - Te Tuhi Leasson 2

Today my class went on a little free trip to Te tuhi which is in pakurange, If you didn't know Te tuhi is a free art gallery where you can do lots of things and most of them well all of them are really fun to do the thing I like about when I go to Te Tuhi is that its a chance for us to go out of class and do something well things that we dont always get to do in class and things like that. Another reason why I love going here is free because you can go out with your family and look at all the different things they have created and some of those things are AMAZING, Like the other times we went there and also today we saw these elders painting and their paintings were AMAZING like they could be sold for lots and lots of money good!

Tolday we learnt about Turangawaewae which if some of you didn't know it means a place to stand and things like that it also means to have the rights to stand in a place or somewhere and to me its kind of like having a place or area that you can call home and if you want to see of hear more click on the slide to find out the other things we did!

Mary Jane - How to make yogurt

A few days ago my class made yogurt and here are the instructions and the methods and things like that, and there are 3 intrseting facts im not going to make this long because all the instructions and things are in the google drawing!

Mary Jane - How to play Hei Tama Tu Tama:

HOW TO PLAY HEI TAMA TU TAMA:

Epuipment - None 

Actions - 

1 - Hands on the hips / Every player must start with this position

2 - Both Hands up with there fist clinched 

3 - Left hand up, Right hand on hip.

4 - The same but Right hand up, Left hand on hip

Here is a photo demstrayting these actions -

Here are the steps for playing this game -

1 - Stand facing each other, with hands on hips,

2 - Player says "Hei Tama tu tama" and choses there actions which is shown in the photo and in the writing,

3 - Player to does the same as the first player but they chose a different action for it,

4 - This is when the game starts and both player say "Hei Tama tu Tama" you want to try and chose a different move,

5 - The winner is the first to notice the other player doing the same move but to get the point you have to say TAMARA and the point will go to you.

The number of people who can play this is 2 but you can have a 3 but the thrid person will have to go after the loser.

What did I think of the game?

I thought that this game was kind of dificult game to be honest but it was really fun as well but the hardest thing about playing this is that remembering to say Tamara/ Hei Tama tu tamara because you to busy being focused on what the other persons doing and what your going to do but other then that I really liked it and I cant wait to play this game again.

Here is a link to a video, click the LINK and here are some more photos!!

If you havent heard of the zones of regulation well its basicly the regualr emotions every human well most things on earth have, so there are 4 different colours so the first one is blue which means sad or sick sometimes your day is going really slow sometimes even you may feel depressed, The second colour is green which is happy and things like feeling ready to go and do things and other things like that, The thrid one is yellow which is kind of like being axious and feeling overly excited last but not least is red which is red is angry and out of control.

Mary Jane - Mutorere Indigenous New Zealand game

Today we learnt how to play an indigenous game of New Zealand called mutorere.

It is a brain game that makes you strategize and use logic to outwit your opponent.

Here are some photos to show what the game and things like that kind of look like.

To play this game you will need to have some lego blocks you only need four make sure there the same color so you dont get confused and you will need the right sheet which you can find on google images by writing in Mutorere, There arent really any rules because its a basic game the only thing you have to do is if you wont you can bring in an old game and play rock, paper, sizzors to see who gos first. After getting that done you want always start from the side if you start first if your not kind of understanding I will add in a video ( LINK TO VIDEO )  again if you dont understand watch the video.

My personal reflection is that this is an amazing game and very easy the things you need are also really easy to get as well, I wasnt the best at this game but I still thought that it was really fun even though I lost to all my friends and class mates because there pros and congrats to Kanye for winning and beating everyone and also lovey for coming second. I had a really fun day but the biggest thank you to Miss Kyla ( My teacher ) for teaching everyone the game and showing us some videos, Hope you enjoy!

Heres some more photos and videos of us play Mutorere and also a photo of what the sheet looks like again thank you for reading.

Mary Jane - Cure kids and Kelly sport

Today Room 10 paticpated in a kelly sport event to support cure kids, Cure kids is a child center and charerdey that help kids with cancer, Asthema, still birth and much much more and supporting them means that kids around New Zealand get treated and get help from your donations which is an amazing thing if you think about it because your helping kids that really need it and an example of ways they support children health is on there site they have many many acomplicments where it shows all there brack throughs they have had and things like that.

The effect of there work and research is that children are getting treated and they are getting the help that is needed but also donating help get samples and it also helps them get more brack throughs which is amazing because again your helping small kids that really need your help.

I participated in this event by donating and playing the games that kelly sport and cure kids have given us and I thought that these games where really fun but the one I liked the most what capture the flag because everyone was working as a team even if they werent in their team and it was nice to see even though I saw a few people cheat it was really fun. 

The reason why I wanted to paticpated in this event is because its a really nice thing to do espiecally knowing that you could make someones day like you could just help a kid/child get their medicine and things like that but its not just that your helping New Zealand and others healthy again which is something really cool and im sure in you donate then it would make you feel amazing. 

I like supporting cure kids today because we got to do something fun and we got to wear muffity like come on who doesnt want to wear muffity at school and play sports and also because everyone played fair which is cool.

First blog post for Term 4 - Mary Jane

                                               Nau mai, hoki mai Ki taku Rangitaki Ko 

Tenei te wahanga tuawha o tau kei te pehea to hararei?

One thing Im looking foward to this term is?

I think is all the amazing trips we are going to have because we have really fun trips like going to the Zoo and movies but the one that I really want to go to is Waiwera hot pools because it is amazing there and its really fun because of the slides and things like that so I really cant wait and also the term is small but I know that sounds a little sad but I cant wait for this term to be finished because it will almost be christmas and my teacher will being having her baby so YAYYY!

My personal goal for the last term of 2017 is?

I think one of the goals I want to complete is paticerpating in other and new things because I am not one to try new things and things like that so that why I want this to be a goal but im really shy and dont really like trying new things but again im willing to try it.

To fully enjoy these end of the year oppurtunities I will need to remember to?

To pay everything that I need to pay wear the correct uniform but I will only be wearing tights until I get school uniform pants and also to respect everyone around me so thats what I want to do to get and to earn these oppitunities.

I think that this is fun because I get to learn new words and I also really enjoy this task because once again its fast and fun and its really good and educational at the same time and its really good to teach others and yourself a new launage.

Mary Jane - Qualities - Careers T3W6

Today the year 7 and 8's of Tamaki Primary did one of their usal programs called careers, This is done by one of the teachers from Tamaki Primary, The Teacher talks to the year 7 and 8's and teachs them about what different careers there are and the difference about them also she helps us learn more about our selves and also help us and others to learn more about each other, I like this program because I learn more about myself and others.

I think other schools should do this program because people and others can learn about  them selves which is good because some people dont know who they are yet and doing this may make them feel comfrontable and make them feel like they know themselves.

Mary Jane - Book Box Drawing

Today my class did a small fun activity called book box, Book Box is where you chose a book your level and once you have finished reading it 2 - 3 times then chose the genure and it gives you certain questions to see if it was that genure and also to see what your understanding of the book and the task.

Here is my book box countinue to read it to find out what mine was and what I thought of the book.

Mary Jane - Similes Practice task - T3W5

Today room 10 my class did a task called similes practice, This was a good task because it helps our understanding of using similes and also other understanding there point of view, I think that this was a good task because again it was good so other and ourselves got to understand similes more.

In this slide show you will see the understanding I have for similes and what I would say with that sitution and that is how I got my answers.

Hope you enjoy my blog post!!

Mary Jane - Dare: Session 3 Relfection task T3W5

Today My class room 10 was doing a reflection on a program called the dare program its a program to educate kids about drugs and achool, I also think that this is a great task or program because it talks about what drugs and achool and that means it would stop young people like us to do stupid things with the drugs or achool, I really do think that this is a great fun and educational program that I really enjoy.

I think that we should keep learning about this because people our age are slowly getting into drugs and achool and think that its cool and fun but its really bad and dangerous so you shouldnt do drugs and achool when your very young and you shouldnt misuse drugs and achool too.

Hope you enjoy my blog post.

Mary Jane - Ko Te Whakatauki o te wiki - T3W5

Today in Room 10 ( My class ) we did one of my favourite task which is Whakatuaki o te wiki, This is my favourite task because its fast and easy and again it shows others point of views I also like this task because it helps me to learn more maori and sometimes other launages depending on what launage week it is, I think that this is fun because I learn a lot from this task.

Have a great week  at school, Hope you enjoyed my blog post.

Mary Jane - Whakatuaki o te wiki T3W4

I think that with this one I didnt really relate to it but only because I didnt really understand it but then I did understand it a little bit I did think that this was fun because it really fast and I also like it because its not to easy but its easy enaff I think that this is a great task to learn new launages and also to get to see other point of view on things.
I think that I tried to relate to it as much as I could and I also like this task because I think its really fun to do because I dont know to me its just something I enjoy to do and just something that has a lot of education in with it like learning new vocabalery and new words in maori and in english.

Mary Jane - Stage 4 Algebra Problem, Tia and Tom

Today we sloved an algebra problem to caulate how much would be spent and earnt by 2 twins named Tia and Tom, The problem was that the twins were different with there money because Tom spent money and Tia saved money so we had to figure out who will have the most money on what day and we finished the problem fast, I think that this was easy but not to early because we all got it but we all made one little mistake we all started from 18 dollars not 20.

I would do this task again because its really fun and we are building our knowledge and we are also building a great knowledge for what we will be doing in high school oe college which make the year 8's ready and also the year 7's for beganing there years as a year 8 and also when they leave for college and high school so I thought that this was a very good educational task and I used a lot of things like plus tables and that but it was very easy.

Mary Jane - Technology / Food tech

This was a very simple and easy little repice it wasnt complacated at all I thought that this was an amazzing task because I got to cook something new and learn something new from this because I learned how to work as a team and how to cook chocolate chip cookies.

I think that this was an easy task because it was made for kids to do and also because we have the proper equipment which is really fun, I think that I was going to find this hard because it sounds like it would sound hard but it was really easy like I said but I also think that this was a really good task to do with friends of younger people because its really easy like I said again.

Mary Jane - Whakatauki o te wiki - T3W1

Today is a new day the second day of the new term and I am feeling great this was again one of my favorite task and I think that these quotes were fun but I didnt really relate to them as much as I did before with the other ones but I still tried to relate so people could try and relate to it to.

I think that this is a fun task because you learn a new launge and at the same time I have learned new words and new quotes which is pretty cool and fun but the most funnist thing is that learning about others point of view.

Hope you enjoy my blog post and have fun getting back into school

Mary Jane - Ko te whakatuaki o te wiki - T2 W10

Today room 10 did another whakatauki o te wiki but this time it was about well wasnt about goals but kinda was because that how I saw this quoate being but it might mean something different to you because not everyone is the same, I think that this is a great task to learn differnet launges and other things like that because you get to see everyones point of viiew. 

Do I think that this is a great task?

I do think that this is a great task because you learn so much from it and also because its just a fun task to do to me it is a great task to do but maybe other people might not like it but thats ok.

Hope you enjoy my blog post.

Mary Jane - The 7 stars of Matariki T2W9

Today room 10 did another Matariki goal setting but it was much more different because it involed the different Matariki stars if you dont know the stars you will find out in this slide and it will also show how I will embody this goal and this star, I thought that this task was really fun because you can change your goals and it doesnt really about learninh and it can really mean about what you want to work on.

 When I first saw this task I thought that this is a normal goal setting but again I was surprised to see how much different it was to a normal goal setting slide because your goals could be related to almost anything which is amazing for me, When my friend saw this she thought the same so we talked about kind of what we would do with this slide and we found a way to make it work we made sure that it was involed with school and outside of school.

Hope you enjoy my slide show and also my blog post.

Mary Jane - Food Technology

Today in food tech we learned how to make a pasta salad and here are the ingredients and the method we learned,

Ingredients - 

Pasta / We used macorone pasta 

Tamato 

Onioun 

Mayo 

Ham / Bacon 

Method - 

The first thing you want to do is take your pasta out of the bag and put around 3 cups of water into a pot, after adding your 3 cups of water you want to place your pot on the top of the stove. Again after finishing that you can place your pasta into the pot, wait for the pasta and water to start boiling and make sure you stir it so it doesnt get stuck to the pot and if you dont know how to cook pasta than get a fork or spoon get the pasta out and run under cold water, after you have done that touch it and see if its soft if it is its finished.

After doing that you want to cut your other ingredients into small pieces and than add your pasta to those ingredients 

Mary Jane - Planting day relefection, Ra whakato rakua

Yesterday Tamaki primary and some other schools went on a small little trip to plant some native trees, I thought that this was a really fun walk at the start but half way there my legs started to hurt and I hated it and so were my friends also because one of my friends wanted to hold my bag and it was really heavy because it had the teacher aids lunch and also my friends lunch in it so it was really heavy, I thought that this would be fun but we ended up going to the wrong places and I got so annoyed and wanted to stop,

Matariki stars for maths - Mary Jane

Today room10 my class got to do some maths about matariki we got taught the shape of matarki and how if never changes the only thing is that it rotates this is my photos of a hook showing even if it is rotated it still is the same thing,

The first one which is the left one if a 360 degree angle of the matariki and the second one is a 90 degree angle but if you didnt know the thrid is 180 degrees and the last one is 270 and than it goes back to 360 degrees again,

I learnt a lot about matariki and degrees not only that I also learnt that they dont flip and they only rotate.

Hope you enjoy my small little blog post!!

Mary Jane - Ko Te Whakatauki o te wiki - T2W8

Today in room 10 we did a really fun task called Whakatauki o te wiki which is a task we do every week I think that this is a really good task to practice your Te reo maori and to get other peoples view on things or on this quote, I also want to say that if you are new at speaking a new launge or in the process of learning a new launge this would be a great task because again you see your classes or your friends point of view on things.

Room 10 my class does this every week and this helps with our Te reo maori and other launges to so if you are learning a new launge this task will be great if you dont get this task it means a qoute in a different launage and you can excpress yourself and others with this task which is amazing.

Hope you enjoy my blog post.

Mary Jane - Food tech Leason

Today at Technology we made a delicious small mini quiche,

Ingrediants -

Egg

Ham / Bacon

Milk

Pastery 

Cheese 

Non Stick spray.

Method -

First you want to get 2 eggs and 1 cup of milk when you have finsihed grabbing these you need to whisk the two together until mixed well after you have finished whisking you egg and milk you want to add your ham or bacan, Make sure they are chopped into small pieces when you have also finished cutting your ham or bacon you want to add that to you egg and milk mixture if you havent noticed we are doing the wet things first.

Once you have completed this you are going to cut your pastery into small circles and if you do not have enough than with the left over dough you can cut it into as much more as you need and than roll it out. 

When you have finished cutting your dough place it into your muffin tray or and circled tray you have if you and make sure you like it with something that makes it not stick and if you want you can make a big one, With your egg mixture you want to poor it into a cup make sure none of the ham or bacon gets into it because you want to add that mixture last.

When you are done than you can add your ham and chese ohh and wait dont put it into the oven yet add your egg and milk mixture and than put it into the oven at 180 and than wait until it get nice and brown but not too brown, When its finished dig in and eat it.

I loved making this because it was fun and very cool to make and I also think I did this really good but one thing I do need to work on is finding the equipments becauses I always have to go searching for it I also think I did it good because I tried and tried and it worked but again I do need to work on a few things like finding things and watching things because sometimes my groups stuff burns because I dont check on it all the time but it is getting better because I am watching it more and I am also working on that because I dont want to get in trouble or make my group made by burning it but like I said it is getting a lot better and I enjoy the challenge of making things.

Hope you enjoy blog post.

Sugar songs - Huriata, Ricky, Lovey, Mary Jane, Lizzy and Pairs.

Today in room 10 we showed the whole class what we did, Our group was working on a play but we hadn't made the puppets yet so we just went with it we also made sure that we tried to add all of the different sugars but we didnt because we didnt have enough time, I didnt really like it because I dont like talking to a lot of people so I was scared and angry but I was happy that we got some of it done and also that I got to do it with my best friend Lizzy.

I think this was kind of a good task but some of us didnt make it really detailed but they were really good anyway and I will give that to them I also liked it because I got to see what others in my class learnt about sugar and also how they thought sugar would affect there lives, I dont really think this helps me with my learning because I am shy.

Hope you enjoy the video and my blog post!!

Mary Jane and Aja's - Pokorua Task 1

Today in Room 10 my group got to read a small 2 page journal that was not in english but in te reo maori I was so scared that my teacher was going to ask me something and I wouldnt know what to say because I am used to reading things in english and personally for me reading in other launages is a lot harder espically when I have no idea what they are saying.

When I opened my book I say the pictures and instanlly knew that this wasnt going to be as hard as I thought it would be because of the pictures and yes its sounds very silly but pictures can really help your brain adjust to things and my sure did, Anyway this book is about ants and how they trie and find there food and in this slide it will show some of the new words I learnt and there definition with photos to,
