Paralympics Tokyo 1964-2020

Today for Inquiry my class and I were learning about the Tokyo Paralympics 1964 and 2020. We had to watch two videos about the Paralympics 1964 and one video about Paralympics 2020. We had to compare them both. My teacher gave us some questions for us to answer, like about the disabled people that competed in the Tokyo Paralympics 1964 and 2020.

Moala and Ana What is Earth Science?

Today for Inquiry we had to pair up and make a Graffiti page about Earth Science. My partner was Ana. We didn't put much pictures but I am kind of glad we didn't because it looks better with just one picture. I found this easy because all we had to do was just add words that were relatable to Earth Science.

Medicinal Plants Medical problems and uses

Today I've learnt about many medicinal plants. I've also learnt that they can cure some bad things that happen to you. For Koromiko you need to use the closed leaf tips. For the Skin Diseases you use the whole part of the Kowhai tree including the bark and stuff. For the Pohutukawa the nectar of the Pohutukawa flower had been recommended for sore throats. The leaves of the Harakeke can be used for for dressing aid healing and the Harakeke's juice for wounds. The puriri leaves helps Ulcers. In the Kawakawa leaves it contain myristicin which has pain numbing properties and it heals toothaches. Today I've learnt so much about Medicinal plants!

Here is my Screencastify

Moala - Diorama

This Week St Patricks Whanau has made a diorama about Sand Dunes in Tahuna Torea. We first had a cardboard box and a fruit tray. We first grabbed to coloured paper green and a brownish paper. Malia and I cut the coloured paper into little strips and twirled them around and put some of them down instead of all of them up. We then grabbed scissors and curled the paper so it looked like a speckled sedge. We also made a tussock and did the same thing we did for the Speckled Sedge. We then coloured the cardboard blue and a sand colour. We made a couple of seaweed and put a little bit of sand and rocks on the fruit tray. We coloured the fruit tray a sand colour. While making the diorama I learnt more about Sand Dunes. About the different type of plants and the environment. Like Karaka, Karaka is a native plant to New Zealand it is green and orange and glossy above and under and are curly. Lisiate made a crab because while he was at the Sand Dunes he saw a crab and decided to draw one. Solomon also made two birds and stuck them to the box. I have made a couple of words that relate to the Sand Dunes environment and stuck them to the box. After making our dioramas we explained what we made and everything about Sand Dunes. Here is the final results! (we made this out of paper).

Trees Talk To Each Other

This Week my class and I read a article about how Trees Talk to Each Other. After I read the article I made a google doc and wrote on the doc what the article was about and a glossary about the words I don't know the meaning to. Here is the link to the article LINK

Here is my activity!!

What was this article about?

This article was about how Trees talk to each other in other cooperative ways. Trees are linked like neighbors' underground network of fungi. By warning each other that they are in danger they share with each other their nutrients at critical times to keep them healthy.

Glossary - 

Enzymes - Stuff produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst.

Symbiosis - A mutually helpful relationship between different people.

Facilitate - Make an action or a process easy.

Moala - Amazing Plants

This week for Inquiry my class and I have been learning about Amazing Plants. My teacher Ms. Nees - Kairua and Mrs. Tui has put us into groups. My group was Malia, Arvay, Ofa, Daniel, Josaia, and I. My group and I were chosen to go outside and look at the different plants in our school. We first started at the hedge then the garden then to the gigantic tree then the back of the playground. After looking at the plants we went back inside and wrote on a huge paper about the plants we saw and about it like how good the soil is. Ms. Tui gave us a video to watch about plants. We watched together with the other people who were watching video 1. The next day we watched all the videos again and got all the hard words that we didn't understand and did a glossary and did what the meaning of the words mean. Here is my activity!

The Māori Alphabet

Today for Te Reo Māori we were learning the Māori Alphabet we also were playing a game called Memrise Memrise is about a game you can learn any language on. Today the language we were focusing about is Maori. I was keeping it simple by only memorising introduction. It was really easy!

This was the amazing moment I was first on the leaderboard!

Here is my activity about the Maori Alphabet!

Moala Lesson 1 - Oropūare and Orokati (Vowels and Consonants).

 Today for Maori we were learning about The Māori Language, vowels, consonants. The Māori alphabet is made up with eight consonants, five vowels and two digraphs. In Māori when there is a tohu tu (macron, hat) you have to drag the word like ngaaa. There is also a song that relates to Orokati Consonants (the letters that aren't in the vowels).

Example: keke with no macrons means cake, and kēkē with macrons mean armpit.

Here is the lyrics (not really lyrics).

Video of the song

Moala - New Zealand Shake Out 15th October 2020

Today my school and I did a shake out. You will have to be under the table until the shaking stops. A shake out is when you would hear a bell or a sign to get under the table. Because it is just a practise to get under the table when there is a earthquake.
