Pangarau - Time Conversion #1.75hours

Work completed by Cruz and Devontae

Converting the time 1.75 hours into minutes.

1.0hours = 60mins

0.75 = 3/4 = on a clock, 3/4 of 60mins = 45mins

Therefore, they broke the number 45 into 40 and 5, for simpler addition

They were able to see that 60+40 = _____ was similar to 6+4 = 10

So 60+40 must have made 100 

Then they remembered the leftover 5mins, 100+5 = 105

In conclusion, 1.75hours is the same as 105mins

Kia ora koutou katoa.
Im Room 22 we are using a new strategy to learn more vocabulary and ways in which to use them.

We begin a week with an amount, usually 6-10.
We use the object as a stimulus and find the name of that object in both English and Māori

Then we are told to create English and Māori sentences with those words.

Kia ora, Ko toka tōku ingoa, he kaitoa ahau.

Hello, my name is Rock and i am a gladiator.

Kei ahau tētahi tarakona, Ko pūkenga tōna ingoa.

I have a pet dragon and his name is Philosopher.

Kei te rere ahau i runga i taku tarakona, kei te haere ki te whawhai kaitoa i roto i te Papahākinakina.

I am flying on my dragon to fight with the other gladiators in the arena.

Kei te wero atu ahau ki ngā kaitoa. Kei te mate koe!!

I stabbed the gladiators and then they would die!!

Kei te haere mai a Ty te raiona nui, kei te whawhai ia i taku tarakona Pūkenga.

Ty the giant lion came to fight with my dragon Philosopher.

I toa taku tarakona i te whawhai.

My dragon won the fight.

Kei te kimi maua ko taku tarakona i ngā iwi kaitoa kē.

Me and my dragon went in search to find other gladiators.

Kei te rere maua ko taku tarakona i te rangi, ka rere kōkiri i roto i te moana.

My dragon and i flew into the sky and then we dove down into the sea.

Ka haere maua ki te atua o te moana, ki te whawhai.

I went to the God of the seas to fight him.

Amuri nga mea katoa, i ki taku kaiako ki ahau, ki te whawhai tōku tino hoa, taku tarakona...

After everything we had been through, my teacher came and told me to kill my own dragon.

Kei te whawhai taku tarakona, aa ka wero atu ahau i taku tarakona.

I faught my dragon and eventually, i had to kill him.

Aa, ka pukuriri ahau ki tōku kaiako, kei te omaoma ahau ki a ia. I peke ahau, i wero ahau ki tōna ūpoko. Aa kua mate toku kaiako.

I was extremely angry with my teacher. So i ran at him and jumped, i stabbed him right in the head and that is what killed him.

My way my country - The investigation - A view into the new

Our new idea became an investigation.
This was a follow-on from our investigation of an Olympic country.
We begin with the idea that, "we can create a country" based on the prior information/knowledge we had collected.

The process is simple: Imagine it, rationalize it, then make it real.

Our investigation includes many aspects including;
- The name of our new country, a short history about that country, a native population and language(s) spoken aswell as a belief system or social structure.
- The students place in the country and how they got to that position.
- Naming the capital city of their country and how it got its name.
- Construct an anthem for their country
- 5 x facts about their country
- 10 laws of their country
- Create a legend/myth about their country, and why this is significant, also to include how it has shaped their society.

Last but not least, to create a symbolic flag - representative of their country as a whole.

I maumahara ahau - Helaman

I maumahara ōku wae i te papa kakariki i waenganui i ōku matiwae,

I maumahara oku ringaringa i te hau makariri oioi,

I maumahara oku matiringa, kua māku rawa nā te papa,

I maumahara oku makawe i te pukuwera o ōku werawera,

 I maumahara toku roro i te rā katoa.

My country Brazil - Cruz

Kia ora, this investigation was about me finding a country to investigate and telling everyone a few things about that country and their involvement with the Olympics.

I began by choosing a country, I decided on Brazil.

We needed to find and write five facts  about the country we had chosen.

I found out what medals Brazil had won previously and in what sports the medals were won in.

From there we looked into their current involvement. i.e what sports they are competing in within the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The forth aspect to this investigation was writing out the National Anthem of my chosen country. I chose to write it in Brazilian.

The final element to this investigation was having an accurate representation of their nations flag.

I then decided to write about what the Olympic rings meant and show that representation above my flag.

My country My investigation - Jahvarn

Kia ora, this investigation was about me finding a country to investigate and telling everyone a few things about that country and their involvement with the Olympics.

I began by choosing a country, in the end i decided on Russia.

I found and wrote five facts that talked about the country and the people that inhabit that country.

I went on to find out what medals they had won previously and in what sports the medals were won in.

From there i looked into their current involvement. i.e what sports they are competing in within the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The forth aspect to this investigation was writing out the National Anthem of my chosen country. I chose to write it in Russian which was really cool but hard at the same time.

The final element to this investigation was having an accurate representation of their nations flag.

Nukunuku nekeneke Nukurau e!

Kei te toa, ka hikoi ngā tangata koremate.
At the store the zombies were walking

Ia pō ia pō, ka haere a Toka ki waho ki te puhipuhi ngā tangata koremate. I rongo i te pūpuhi o te pū, PAKO! PAKO! I kite ia i te rama nui...
Every night Toke goes outside to shoot zombies. All he hears are gunshots; BANG! BANG! He sees a bright light...

Tyreece's memory poem

As we began our game i remember taking a deep breath of cold crispy air,
my feet remember the rumbling ground,
my legs remember sprinting in pain,
my body remembers the cold embrace of other players,
my arms remember the mutating hands clinching my wrists,
my face focused intensely on each of the bodies on front of me,
my mind remembers smashing into the ground and the laughter erupting soon after.

Elijah - Memory Poem

My feet remember the cold going in between my tall toes,
my legs remember the goosebumps as the breeze traveled over them,
my body remembers the fluffy cosy feeling all over it,
my arms remember the droopiness and my energy fading away,
my hands remember the touch of my squishy bed and the thick blanket,
my face remembers a soft pillow and relaxation,
my mind remembers, 'yes! No more school.'

Matua Byron and his moment in time

Matua Byron decided to help extend on ideas by being more descriptive, see if you can picture and infer where he is.

On a regular basis my family would remember times like that..
where my feet remember the sweet sticky sap entrenched in my toes,
where my legs remember the grueling struggle of those long hills,
where my body remembers the feeling of sweat racing down my back,
where my arms remember the snapping, crashing and crunching of branches beneath my fingers,
where my hands remember the soft sway of tall green grass,
where my face remembers the smell of the open sea breeze,
my mind remembers a time of being young and able to climb like that.

Ko te wai tōku kainga

Ko te tai tōku waka

Ko Te Kina tōku ingoa

Ka haere mai ngā taniwha e rua

Ka hopukina rāua i tōku whānau whānui

Ka riri a Tangaroa, ka riri ahau

Kua reri au ki te whawhai

Kua reri au mō te pakanga

Kua reri au ki te hopu taniwha

Ka mau au i ngā matimati nui o tētahi

Ka kumea au i tētahi taniwha

Engari ka wiriwiri te taniwha…

“Kia tere kōurapaka mā, āwhina mai”

“Kia kaha kōurapaka mā, kumea mai”

“Kia māia kōurapaka mā, ū tonu tō here”

“Kia tau kōurapaka mā,” kua mutu…

My name is Devontae and this is my memory poem

On delightful weekend with my family i began remembering..

my feet remember the soft floor,

my body remembers the game over its sounding,

my arms remember the hard rock pieces,

my hands remember the lazer filled object,

my face remembers the glass screen of the arcade game,

my mind remembers the building and the name of the building.

I'll be back next time.
