Graphics w Ms Ferguson - Designing a House on Tinkercard

Task Description :

Talofa everyone, today we had a tech google meet with a Tamaki graphics teacher Ms Ferguson. Our task was to design a house on this site we use which is called : Tinkcard. This is where we get to create 3D designs to share with everyone so that they can see. By making this design we had to incopperate some skills Ms Ferguson showed us such as Alining, Grouping, Resing, and adding Workplanes into the design.

Ko Hoku Famili - My Family

Ko Hoku Famili- My Family!

Malo e lelei and welcome back to my blog. Today it is the start of TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK YAY!!. Tonga is my culture and I love learning new things about it. This week Team 5 will be learning all about Tongan culture and it's languages. For our 1st activity we had to pronounce our family members in Tongan. This was a really fun task to do because it reflects onto our family, why they are important and why we need them.

Some people say family is not important but in my opinion family is everything. It is very important to look after you family members very much, never take them for granted and always love them no matter what. In Tongan culture it is very important that you listen to your parents and  your eldest.

Taha Wairua Poster!!!

Taha Wairua

Greetings to all and welcome back to my blog. Today we did another Whare Tapa Wha activity, we chose to do Taha Wairua (Spiritual Health). For our task today we had to create another poster but this time we had to show three things that can help us with our Taha Wairua. The things I listed were: 

1. Listening to happy and calming songs
2. Doing Meditation
3. Praying

There are much more things that I can think of as well. You can also read the bible and give a gift to someone. Doing things like this will help strengthen your Wairua in no time you don't want to end up as a sad or useless person sitting at home as your Taha Wairua slowly breaks down. I encourage everyone to do these listed things so that their Taha Wairua stays alright. 

Taha Tinana- Exercise poster

Taha Tinana

Today for our Te Whare Tapa Wha work we mainly focused on Taha Tinana which is about looking after our Physical Health. For our activity we had to create an exercise poster. To make it we had to take photos with buddies or by yourself doing 4 different exercises. I did this activity with my friends Mele and Central, the exercises we did were:

1. Running on the spot
2. Squats
3. Star Jumps
4. Arm Warm Ups

There are different types of levels that you can do for your comfort zone:

1. Easy
2. Hard
3. Extreme

Hopefully everyone can do this to help strengthen their Taha Tinana, doing fitness work really helps your body to stay fit and healthy. I encourage everyone to do exercises in their free time to live a happy life staying fit and healthy

Taha Hinengaro: Things I'm good at!

Taha Hinengaro: Things I'm good at!

Task description: Malo e lelei and welcome back to my blog, today we did another Te Whare Tapa Wha activity. This time we looked back on Taha Hinengaro which is all about our own mind, heart, conscience, thoughts and feelings. It is also about how we feel individually as well as how you communicate and think. For our activity today, first we had to take a photo of ourselves and place in onto a google drawing. After that we had to come up with things that we are good at and place it around the photo of yourself. This helped us by feeling and thinking much better, this can also help us by gaining more confidence. ENJOY

Measurement!!

WALT: ESTIMATE MEASUREMENTS AND READ DIFFERENT SCALES

Today for our maths task, we are focusing on our Measurements and what they are:  kg, g, mm, cm etc. To start us off first we had to check the measurements in the story Mrs Tele'a wrote. The measurements in the story were purposely wrong, so it is up to us to make it correct. After that, there are 3 different slides that are about estimating the measurements that were given, we had to try and guess it's measurement. Now my favourite activity of the maths slides, which was Ordering Measurements. First we had to guess the length and mass of each one then we had to order it from shortest to longest (1-4) and lightest to heaviest (1-4). For the last slide we had to go on this link that takes us to this reading scale quiz. There are 6 levels in total which is all about reading different types of scales. Doing this really helped me practice reading scales, ones I knew already and many different ones. Thank you Mrs Tele'a for another wonderful and fun Maths Slides today!
