Tongans migration stories by 'Ana

I enjoyed this topic because I learnt about how, when and why our families come to New Zealand. I get to listen to other students migration stories. 

 

Finding fractions of numbers by 'Ana

I found it challenging. I read the story but still, I didn't understand it. I talked it over with my partner. We asked another student for help. Mrs Tafea kept reminding us to read it again then she gave us a hint talking about distance, velocity and time and this is what we came up with. I hope you would understand and can easily follow what we have done!

The numbers are getting bigger but I am happy I know what to do. 

 

Simplifying fractions by 'Ana

I have learnt to explain how to simply improper fractions. I enjoyed doing maths every day.

I enjoy doing maths because it challenges my thinking. I am learning to find the perimeters of the given polygons.

 This is my family's migration story. I enjoyed listening to my parent's stories.

Ko e va'inga hiko mo e lafo fa'u 'e Langiola

I really like this inquiry because I get to read and listen to stories that my mum shared with me about the Tongan games that they used to play when she grew up in Tonga. I got to play them before I wrote my story. It is really fun. It seems like my mum had a lot of fun in Tonga.

Ko e ngoue talo 'a Sione fa'u 'e Anthony

The teacher reads the story in Tongan. I enjoyed it because I am familiar with most of the Tongan words. I like eating talo and lusipi. I think the story is funny. I have heard of a giant talo. After reading the story we talk about the things we know about talo then we retell the tory in English. I have to create my own comic book using Pixton. I hope you like.

These are the things that I tried to do during this lockdown. 

 

Recount by Sosaia

 I am going to talk about how I’m spending time with my family every day during the lockdown. I’m enjoying time with my family, like my dad, mom and my three older brothers at my house in East Auckland. I eat together with my family on every meal every day. We are mostly staying in our home as a bubble and we do everything together. During the two weeks holiday we were mostly out of our house but still kept the rule of lockdown.                         

From the beginning of lockdown, I woke up every morning, prayed with my family as a first priority, had breakfast and then got ready my school netbook for online school and my work. We had lunch and break time so I went outside with my brothers, played soccer, biked around outside and came back inside to finish my school work until 3 o’clock. I just repeated the same routine every day from Monday to Friday. On Friday night it’s our movie and game night and then on Saturday, we do cleaning and play after dark time and dinner time. On Sunday it is a holy day for my family. We joined an online Church service and then rested for the rest of the day. Sometimes we go for a walk or a ride around in our family van and have takeaway food during the two weeks holiday of term 3. We tried new things like going for a walk nearly every day and going for a ride around during the school holiday.

I enjoy spending time with my family every day. Sometimes I was too lazy to do my school work, but my mum forced and helped me to do it. There are new things and enjoy things as well, like having every meal with my family every day. I mostly wake up late at 9am to get ready for the online class, because of the lockdown so that’s a good thing I got enough sleep. I miss my school friends playing with them but because of the Covid 19, we have to stay at home. I think I prefer learning at school face to face with my teacher, but  I understand that it is for the safety of everyone in New Zealand.

This is how my lockdown was and it is still going. I am so thankful to God that me and my Dad, mom and three older brothers are still safe and well. Therefore I wish everyone well and keep safe. Blessings always.

Love

Writing a conversation by Esile

 

Writing a conversation

This task is about writing a conversation using speech marks. 

Jack ran in the door, dropped his bag and yelled, "What's for dinner?" "Hamburgers," replied Mum. "Please set the table." "That's not fair," moaned Jack, "because I did it yesterday." "Well life isn't always fair," answered Mum

In the box below write a short conversation that two friends might have at lunchtime.

Remember to use all the punctuation needed when someone is speaking, as shown in the example above. Each friend needs to speak at least two times

Esile and Joseph ran outside their classroom doors, they met up with each other and Esile asked “what do you have for lunch Joseph”, “tuna sandwich”, replied Joseph. He then asked the same question to Esile, he replied “a chicken sandwich” then they went and played rugby.

 

Lockdown birthday celebration by Esile

 

A special event I had with my family was 2 weeks ago, my 2 older cousins Simi and Pote had their 21st birthday party at my auntie’s house. They both had keys because it's their 21st birthday, but there was a lockdown so we had to video call family members in and out of New Zealand and. I saw my uncle from Canada and his family on the video call. The food was the best, there was butter chicken, chicken nibbles, crab salad, potato salad, and PIG. That was my favourite there weren't many kids so it got kinda boring but it was still fun and there was yum food.

My recount about lockdown activities.

 In my lockdown, I loved playing video games with my cousins and friends online. The games I like to play are Madden, Nba 2k, Rugby League live and others. The reason I like them is that they are games about sports I like. Madden is a video game about American football, Nba 2k is basketball, and Rugby league live is about rugby league.

The second favourite thing I did in lockdown was helping my dad to do some cleaning/work outside to get ready for Christmas, and helping my Mum and Sister do some chores around the house.

I enjoyed doing maths because I have learnt to convert different measurement units.

 MEASUREMENT BOARD

kilometer        km

hectometer        hm

decameter       dm

meter       m

decimeter        dm

centimeter        cm

millimeter      mm

    ⤻ ⤻  ⤻ ⤻ ⤻     ⤻

km x 1000 = m   m x 100 = cm cm x 10 = mm

Convert from km to m is moving       Convert from m to cm is moving                   Convert from cm to mm is moving

decimal point forward 3 times         decimal point forward 2 times                  decimal point forward 2 times

TASK A : Convert these measurements between km to m.

Rules: km to m is multiplied by 1000 or move the decimal point FORWARD 3 times.

Eg. 45km = ___ m 

45 x 1000 = 45,000m or 45.000 = ⤻⤻⤻ = 45,000m

m to km is divide by 1000 or move the decimal point BACKWARD 3 times.

Eg. 73.5m = ___ km

73.5 1000 = 0.0735km or 73.5 = ⤺⤺⤺ = 0.0735km

1. 5m = 0.005 km 2. 0.74km = 740 m

3. 183m = 0.183 km 4. 2.91km = 2910 m

5. 0.52m = 0.00052 km 6. 83 km = 83000 m

7. 7.03m = 0.007.03 km 8. 284km = 284000 m

9. 29m = 0.029 km 10. 35.6km = 35600 m

11. 34.27m = 0.03427 km 12. 5.94km = 5940 m

12. 85.4m = 0.0854 km 14. 67.03km = 67030 m

TASK B : Convert these measurements between m to cm.

Rules: m to cm is multiplied by 100 or move the decimal point FORWARD 2 times.

Eg. 4.6m = ___ cm

4.6 x 100 = 460 cm or 4.60 = ⤻⤻ = 460 cm

cm to m is divided by 100 or move the decimal point BACKWARD 2 times.

Eg. 75cm = ___ m   

75100 = 0.75 m or 75. = ⤺⤺ = 0.75 m

1. 8m = 800 cm 2. 12cm = 0.12 m

3. 48m = 4800 cm 4. 217cm = 2.17 m

5. 0.5m = 50 cm 6. 4.2cm = 0.042 m

7. 9.3m = 930 cm 8. 15.8cm = 0.158 m

9. 42.6m = 4260 cm 10. 3.47cm = 0.0347 m

11. 56.01  = 5601 cm 12. 35.9cm = 0.359 m

TASK C : Convert these measurements between cm to mm.

Rules: cm to mm is multiplied by 10 or move the decimal point FORWARD once only.

Eg. 4.6cm = ___ mm

4.6 x 10 = 46 mm or 4.6 = ⤻ = 46 mm

mm to cm is divided by 10 or move the decimal point BACKWARD once only.

Eg. 75mm = ___ cm   

7510 = 7.5 cm or 75. = ⤺ = 7.5 cm

1. 3cm = 30 mm 2. 34mm   = 3.4 cm

3. 74cm = 740 mm 4. 907mm  = 90.7 cm

5. 0.9cm = 9 mm 6. 2.6mm   = 0.26 cm

7. 5.3cm = 53 mm 8. 75.8mm = 7.58 cm

9. 81.7cm= 817 mm 10. 6.32mm = 0.632 cm

11. 0.27 cm = 2.7 mm 12. 49 mm   = 4.9 cm

13. 6.27cm = 62.7 mm 14. 20.5mm = 2.05 cm

TASK D : Convert these measurements between m to mm.

Rules: m to mm is multiplied by 1000 or move the decimal point FORWARD 3 times.

Eg. 6m = ___ mm

6 x 1000 = 6000 mm or 6 = ⤻⤻⤻ = 6000 mm

mm to m is divided by 1000 or move the decimal point BACKWARD 3 times.

Eg. 35mm = ___ m   

35100 = 0.35 m or 35. = ⤺⤺⤺ = 0.35 m

1. 2m = 2000 mm 2. 52mm = 0.052 m

3. 37m = 37000 mm 4. 283mm= 0.283 m

5. 0.4m = 400 mm 6. 7.5mm = 0.0075 m

7. 0.83m = 830 mm 8. 37.8mm = 0.0378 m

9. 94.1m = 94100 mm 10. 8.92mm = 0.00892 m

11. 80.32m  = 80320 mm 12. 60.1mm = 0.0601 m

13. 641.6m = 641600 mm 14. 326.4mm = 0.3264 m
