In rooms 2,3 and 4 we have been learning about athletes we got to chose a athlete and writ a email to the athlete I chose Genevieve-Behrent she dose rowing here is the email that I wort to her with little help from my teacher Mrs H thank you for helping me.


Dear Genevieve-Behrent

Hi my name is Kasaiyah and I have been researching you because we had to chose an athlete. I chose you because you are so amazing at rowing. Congratulations for making it into the NZ Olympic team, I am so proud of you. Something special about you is that you are unique and talented and work really, really hard and you are trying your best at rowing. The sport that I like doing and watching at school is netball.  I work really really hard just like you and I try my best.

I have to  work with my teammates just like you have to  work with your 7 teammates.  It  is really fun and hard but I keep on trying just like you.You are a role model because you alwas encareg (encourage) people to do their best. You have inspired me to try my best and start learning how to row and how to work better with my  team. I love watching you row, it is amazing how much you are into it.

I hope that you get a gold medal for trying your best. I think that it is amazing that this is the first time that they have the first 8 girl rowing team at the Olympics. Last night I was watching you from NZ and it was amazing.Good luck with all of your rowing races.

From Kasaiyah

I am prod of my work because I tried my hardest and kept on trying when it got hard.

Next time I could try and add more information about my athlete in my email.

I think that I have achieved adding trying to compere her to me.

The learning mucel that I think I used the most was my persevere mucel.

My Maths

In maths last week and this week we have been learning about Area and diveshon(division) . I learnt to break shapes up into fractions. I used my X tables for my maths. Here is a photo of my maths.The learning mussels that I had to use where my determination.

This was fun because you had to do your own thinking and you had to try new things. The learning muscles that I stretched was my perseverance,managing distractions & independence learning muscles I stretched my perseverance muscle because I had to go over it and over it and i did not give up.  

Matariki

Kayla and Claire making owe dilishos kia. 

Matariki is one of my favorite celebration because we learn a lot about the Matariki stars and we leaned about some of the Maori legends.All of Totara hub learnt Maori hand games some of them where ha tama to tama,the whi,knuckle bones.This was so much fun and exciting because you got to learn a lot of new things.On Matariki I did panting rocks and flax weaving.

I really enjoyed flax weaving because we all had to work together and help each other. Something that challenged me was doing all of the folds. The learning muscle that I was stretching was my perseverance muscle because I had to do a lot of hard things on my own.

Something that challenged me was trying to add verbs to my writing. If you dont know what a verb is it is a doing word for example 'fill'.

Jada's birthday.

Here is a slide that Emma & I made this slide is about when we went to Jadas birthday party
it has all the information in the slide. Hop(hope) you enjoy it.

When we where doing this we where learning about our  learning muscles so far we have 2 learning muscles. I was noticing the changes I could make and managed my distractions.
I am proud of this slide because of how we all where working together.
The learning that we did when we where doing  this was how to work together and giving each other feedback.

I am poem

This term all of Totara whanau did an I "am poem." An I "am poem" is when you tell something about yourself.   I am proud of my I am poem because I worked hard on it and took my time.
Something that challenged me was thinking of what to write in my I am sentence.
Here is my I "am poem".     

I am half mermaid.

I wonder how the earth was made  

I hear cute little birds singing in the giant Totara trees.  

I see trees swaying in the wind and the leaves changing color.

I want to be a singer when I am older.

I am  half mermaid.

I pretend to be a unicorn.

I feel like a mermaid diving in the deep blue sea.

I touch the light peacock blue river.

I worry that we all live one life.

I cry when I am sad.

I am half mermaid.

I understand that we are all different.

I say that I am amazing.

I dream of my dream house.

I try to say stop so nothing bad will happen.

I hope that my little brother does not go  to hospital again.   

I am half mermaid.

Technology

I am proud of my technology because I worked hard on it and I took my time.
I am still working on it, here is a photo of the possum trap and the rubbish bin put into one prototype.

You are probably thinking why did you do all of this. We did this to help save the bush. We made a rubbish bin that when it gets full you push a button and a shoot will open at the bottom. The rubbish will go down a pipe and to the dump. Before that at the bottom of the lid there will be something that will push all of the rubbish down so it is easier to go down the pipe. Now I will tell you how the possum trap works. There is a sensor that senses what goes in the trap if it is a native animal to NZ it will not trap that animal and if it is a possum  or a stoat it will trap them. This is how we are going to help save the bush from possums and litter.
