SLJ - Week Three Day Two - Activity 2: Overcoming Adversity

Last year, I was at my cousin's house for his 4th birthday. His mum got him a BMX bike as a gift for his birthday. There was one problem that he didn't know how to ride a bike. So all day I and my other cousins were trying to teach him. It was so hard because he was scared. At the end of the day, he made up his mind and got it. These days he is a really good bike rider and also can do some stunts. We are so proud of him.

SLJ - Week Three Day Two - Activity 1: Through Careful Observation


The image I have chosen is image 2. I chose image 2 cause it looks cool. 


THINGS I SEE


The flooring straight down the middle looks like a chessboard and it looks to be little
chess pieces down below. I also see little tiny boats or wakas in the river and I also
see some white birds in the dark area and some blackbirds in the light area.
To me, it looks like a symbol of when it’s night and when it’s morning.
The last thing that really pops out is the white birds in the dark area,
that’s one of my favorite things in this image.

AINU people

SLJ - Week Two Day Four - Activity 1: Guiding Principles


SLJ - Week Two Day Three - Activity 3: Belle of the Ball

The book I have chosen is called Amulet. Amulet is not just one book there is like more than 5 books. I like this book because it is a very interesting book and another reason I like this book is that it’s a comic book. I love comic books. I would rate this book a 10/10. On the bottom is what the book is about.   

WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

The book I’m reviewing today is book 2. The book is about a girl and a boy named Emily and Navin, They both were brother and sister. Emily had a very powerful stone which was very hard to control. People also called her the stone keeper. Navin was very good at controlling a big robot. Emily’s mother was in a coma and the only way to save her life if she climbed to the top of Demons Head mountain and bring back a special type of fruit.  

There was an Elf king. He had one son and a big army of Elfs. He wanted to destroy Emily because she was the stone keeper. The Elf King heard that she was going to the top of the mountain so he wanted to follow and destroy her on there way.

When Emily set off she took her two guardians named Miskit and Redbeard with her. When they reached the top there were talking trees with fruit hanging from them. The trees could see the future and know that Emily was coming for the fruit so they told her to pick carefully otherwise the fruit would be poisoned. Emily picked the right fruit and headed back down to her mother, but on the way they came across the Elf King and started to fight, Navin knows Emily was in trouble so he took a big robot to the mountains and helped Emily to fight the elf, King. It was very intense but Emily and Navin beat up the Elf king and returned to their mother.

When they got back they gave their mother the fruit and later that day the mother had to awaken from her coma.

SLJ - Week Two Day Three -Activity 2: The Right to an Education

The story I’m about to write is about a guy named Luke who was addicted to this game called Fortnite. He would play the game day and night 24/7. Then suddenly his family thought that he had disappeared but he somehow traveled into the world of Fortnite. At first, he thought that it was a dream but soon realized that it was real. Then received a message saying this 

Hello Luke

You have entered the world of Fortnite. The game will start shortly but until then just get warmed up for the intense game and if you are wondering how to get back to your family you must survive and win the game.

Yours sincerely
Epic Games.

Luke was so nervous and was going to try his best to win so that he could get back to his family. Hours passed and then the final ten seconds had come everyone in the game was ready. Then suddenly we were all in the battle bus. Everyone was jumping early but I planned to play safe so I jumped out at the end. When I landed I found a legendary pump shotgun, then he looked up and saw that there were only 45 players left and the first circle hasn't come in yet. Then I pushed to the next circle and found this guy, lucky on the way to zone I found a blue AR, a green SMG, Blue sniper and maxed out my shield. The guy did not know I was there so I tried sniping him and hit all his slide off so I pushed him and finished him and then there were 15 players left and I had 1 kill. So after playing it safe, it came down to the final 3 and I found another person, we build battle and went so high that if one of us fell we were died, then I couldn’t build. Then I thought to myself the only way I can’t build it if we reached the max height or someone busted us down, I suddenly felt like I was falling and suddenly a number popped up in my face #2…………… From that day on, Luke's family never saw him again.

SLJ - Week Two Day Two - Activity 3: “I Have a Dream”

Back then the laws were very different from today's law. If you were from the black community it was a very tough life to live. But that did not stop the black community from fighting for their rights. There was this one guy named Martin Luther King Jr who was a Christian minister in the United States of America In the 1950s and 1960s. One of the laws back in the day was that on buses black and white people had to be separated and if you tried sitting down next to someone that is white the cops would be called immediately. But one day a lady named Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was on the bus after a hard day at work and when the bus filled up she refused to give up a seat for someone that was white and after refusing to move the bus driver called the cops and she was arrested.   

SLJ - Week Two Day Two - Activity 2: School Strike for Climate

Australia kids say that to save their children's future from climate change
we need to stop projects like the Adani coal mine.   

They also want to change the use of gas. 

In the future, Australia met not be there because of the actions of the
government are not taking. 


So there is a very big problem in Australia, and I'm not talking about gangs or
anything, I'm talking about climate change. Climate change is a huge problem
in Australia, forest, jungles, and animals are burning, Bush fires are being lit
by the sun due to how hot it is. Factory, coal projects, pollution and much
more, this is the problem we need combined forces and save Australia.

SLJ - Week Two Day One - Activity 3: ‘Dear Jacinda’

Dear Mrs. Ardern

This letter is to inform you about what our women's sports players are getting paid. This is a very big not just in New Zealand but around the world and I would love for you to change this problem so others could follow. Our men sports players are getting paid loads but our women are getting paid very little. This is so unfair and is wrong. A very sports player should get paid the same no matter if they're a girl or a boy. If you could do anything with your power to change this issue then please do so. Thank you for your time.

SLJ - Teaser Week - Activity 3: Mass Migration

What I Think



I think Donald Trump building that wall between Mexico 

and America is a bad idea………You may ask why I say 

this?... Well because I think that everyone in the world has 

every right to travel to a country that they want to go to, no matter 

what they are. I know that Donald Trump basically owns American 

but from my point of view I think that that is a bit rude to build 

a wall that does not let Mexicans cross the border.     

SLJ - Teaser Week - Activity 2: Fighting for Freedom

Protesting

I would protesting for non violently, because there is a lot of distraction going on in the world and people like me and Mahatma Gandhi  would want to change this problem.  This is very serious in our world, it has destroyed our friendship between our countries and if we don't do something then there will be a lot of fighting and conflicts around the entire globe.

SLJ - Teaser Week - Activity 2: Equal Pay for Equal Work?

WHAT I THINK ?




 I think that women's sports players should earn the same amount as men’s 
sports player. Why I think this?..... While we are all human and it is so unfair that 
men get paid more than women players….. Women players work and play as 
hard as Men players so I don’t know why we are paying less to our Ladies and 
more to our Men. This is very disgraceful to our Women players and who ever 
said that men should be paid more than Women they are very stupid and is a 
disgrace to the whole world…. I'm a boy but I would still back up the fact that
Women should get paid the same amount as Men do.

Captain Blackheart treasure map - Richie - Tui


Captain Blackheart buries his treasure but loses his treasure map!
But all is not lost. His trusty crew remember different bits of the map.
"I remember drawing it with 5 squares each way,'' says the Captain. 
"There was a row of three trees running due East from the square
(1,1)", Peg Leg Pete says. "You put each one of them on a different
square."
"Weren’t there four granite boulders going due South from (5,5)?"
John asks. "I think you put one of them each in a square too."
"Ah!. Now I remember!" yells the Captain. "I buried the treasure
halfway between the first rock and the most western tree!"

Where is the treasure? IN THE MIDDLE

DAY 1
On the 9th of September 2019, Glenbrae school set off on a journey to that top of New Zealand to learn about the Treaty of Waitangi and a little bit about the history of the North Island. But before we got to Waitangi we had to make a pit stop at Whangarei, to use the restroom and to eat some lunch. After 10 minutes we set off once more to meet our guides for the week their names were Magnus and Chris. After we introducing our self we headed to the Treaty ground, but before we entered we were invited by some very kind Maori people who did a haka and pohiri for us. I really enjoyed the tour of the treaty grounds and the lovely performance done by the Maori people. Later that day we arrived at our camp site were we were going to spend the rest of the week at.  At the end of the day for dinner we had fish and chips.

Life in danger of extinction

Life in danger of extinction


Three and a half billion years ago life
emerged in the ocean. Then 425 million
years ago life made its way to land.
Life was made up of four elements
water, light, energy and air. 


Humans, animals and the environment
have changed a lot throughout the
past millions of years. Because of the
diverse landscape and climate, different
types of species evolved and are
thriving in different environments and
habitats. Many species have evolved
into allies, adversaries and enemies.


All species and life forms play a
very important role in maintaining a
healthy ecosystem. Even the bee is as
important as the tiger in the survival
of all living things, including man. If bees
or other pollinators disappear, sooner
or later life will disappear too.  


Man is creating a new world, he is
transforming the world as he plans it.
We have destroyed our forests, polluted
our water, poisoned the air and changed
our environment. We have impacted
climate and are pushing thousands of
species to extinction.

want, we also learnt to make right decisions on what things we buy.
On the second day we learnt how to be safe from Identity theft and what
insurance is.


It was fun having PWC at our school.

About Me


Reading With PWC and Toitoi

Toitoi

Toitoi is a book that is filled with kiwi kids stories and poems.
The maker of Toitoi is a lady named Charlotte.
The reason why she had made Toitoi is because her kids had said that
reading is boring, so she asked them a if it would be better if kids wrote
book and they said “yes”. So she opened a company  named Toitoi and
picked lots of stories that kids had wrote.


Today PWC (Price waterhouse coopers) came to introduce the new toitoi
book. PWC is a company that is located in Auckland city. They came to our
school today to show us the new Toitoi book and read a little with us.


The names of the PWC people that came are Charlotte, Venice, Courtney,
Bre and Lee First Miss Tofa split us into four groups of seven. My group and
I were in Bre’s group. We readed lots of stories. My favourite one was called
Wild Conditions. It was about a girl and her friend getting kidnaped in a snowing
mouniton by a yite.

I had an exciting time reading with PWC and can’t wait for them to come back
with a new Toitoi book to read with us.

Maths

  1. Cameron and Shane collected stickers from a young age. When they were 15 they had both collected 588. They thought a good way to share their hobby was to share their stickers between themselves and two other friends. How many stickers did each of them receive?
588 + 588 = 1176
1176 ÷ 4 = 294
So all four of them get 294 sticks each.

  1. Sam’s church were fundraising for a trip to Tonga. They held a Fiafia nite raising $75,000. The money was then split between five of the congregation groups. How much money did each group receive?
If 75 ÷ 5 = 15  then 75,000 ÷ 5 = 15,000

  1. At a basketball game each Lakers fan were given a gift bag of Lakers gear worth $170. If there were 340 fans, how much money did the gift bags cost for the organisers?

  1. At Matheson Bay each person is a allowed a quota of 50 kina a day. During the summer 500 people visited the popular beach to collect kina. How many kina were taken from the sea in the summer?
50 ÷ 500=?
I know that 10 x 50= 500 so I did 500 ÷ 50 and I got my answer 10.

  1. 9393 = 313
  2. 4504 = 112.5
  3. 9393 = 313
  4. 6289 = 697 R8
  5. 2747 = 39.1
  6. 128310 = 128.3
  7. 5124 = 128
