Reflection - 2020

 

    This year, a lot of things have happened because of Covid 19. So it stopped us from learning.

Challenges 

This year was hard because of covid - 19. All of the people have to stay home so they can save lives and stay safe at home. So then there was a lockdown. Since lockdown happened, it kind of stopped my learning but luckily we had online learning. It was also challenging because some students in class DON’T do any work that has been given to them!.

                

                       

      

        My Favourite thing that I have learnt:

At school I like to play sports, but I like to do learning more than playing sports or games. I like learning new TOPICS for each subject. My favourite subject is Reading and Inquiry. I like Reading because when I read new and interesting books, I learn more meanings of hard words. Reading helps me to understand more about what the story is talking about. I like Inquiry because I 

become so CREATIVE with my projects, I also like it because it includes a lot of information about the work that I am focusing on!

My favourite/new things that I have learned this year:

This year Mrs Tafea was teaching Rm 7 and what we have learnt was lot’s of new things in the year 2020. I was learning about Body Parts, BEDMAS/ Order of Operations, human organs and their functions, also the eleven organ systems plus the eight major systems.

Highlights:

My highlights for the year 2020 is to help others and to reach my goals everytime i come to school or in class so i would like to achieve my goals everyday.

 

                                

Writing

 On Saturday morning we got up really early and watched cartoons on T.V.There was this really funny bit on “What Now” , when 

Mike tipped a bottle of milk over Tina’s head. I pretended to tip a bottle of milk over Sam’s head, but he didn’t laugh. At nine o’clock Mum got up , we got told off for making a mess in the lounge. It wasn’t even that messy , there were just a few cushions and some Lego on the floor.There was some milk on the floor too, but hardly any. Mum said we had to clean everything up. I ended up cleaning most of it up myself. Sam just pretended to help.

Then we went to swimming lessons. I am in the Shark’s group and Sam is in the Tadpoles. I am the best at backstroke in our group.My swimming teacher said I might be able to go in the inter-club swimming competition.

After swimming we went to Mcdonald’s for lunch. Yum! I had a Big Mac Combo and Sam had a Cheeseburger Combo.We got some stickers with our meals , Mum had a coffee. She doesn’t like Mcdonald’s food that much.

When we got home,Sam and I made a hut in the basement under our house.We got some old furniture and set it up,it looked really good,but it was quite dark.

We had macaroni cheese for tea.I hate macaroni cheese. I call it macaroni slime,Mum said I didn’t have to eat it all,but I had to eat some.I ate a tiny bit,but then I ate lots of ice- cream for pudding, so I wasn’t hungry at all.

Writing a recipe about our favourite food

Today, room 7 were learning about how to write a instructional writing about our favourite food to eat. The recipe I wrote about is a samoan food that you can have for tea or lunch or dinner. This food is called "Koko aleisa". Writing a instructional writing should include a Title ( first thing you should have for your writing), method, ingredients and materials, verbs and more. Koko aleisa mean rice pudding or coco rice. I hope you enjoyed making this recipe.

How to make coco rice / rice pudding

Materials

• 5 small cup of rice (Aleisa)
• 6 small full cup of sugar (suta)
• Cups of water (how many u want) vai
• Half of the small samoa coco (ToTo)
• 5 tea leaves (Lau ti), (Big leaves)

Instructions

1.  First, use a small pot to measure the

rice with the cold water. Wait for a while until

the rice gets cooked or when the water is gone.

Mea muamua, faoga o se ulo leikiki e fua
ai o le aleisa ma le vai. Faakali sei vela o
le aleisa.

2. Pour the rice in a larger pot to make a

huge rice pudding.

Ku’u i kokogu o le aleisa i se ulo lapo’a
e fai ai o le koko aleisa.

3. Put in half of the samoan coco , stir to

split the coco apart. If you don’t have any
saoman coco then you might find it at the

supermarket.

Afa o le koko samoa ae kogi i kokogu, 

Afai e leai sou koko samoa, e maua i le
makeki.

4. Once the coco is splitted, throw in six

cups of sugar ( if it is not sweet enough
then put in more sugar until it is sweet
enough for your yourself ).

A uma loa ga makalakala i le koko, kogi
kokogu ia g ipu suka i kokogu o  le ulo.

  

5. Grab 5 big tea leaves and throw it in the pot.

Kau mai gi laumoli ae kogi i kokogu o le ulo.

6. Mix everything that is in the pot. You will

end up with a very delicious smell, it will
also look black or brown because of the
colour from the coco.

Mix uma mea uma lae kokogu o le ulo.
A kakala o le kapugi o le ulo, e lagu ululi.
O le koko e ululi.

Warning!

DO NOT EAT THE TEA LEAVES IN THE POT!!

Animal mnemonics

New words from reading

 Tuesday 23rd July 2019

Big idea: within each kingdom there are more different groups that classify animals. 

• Prokaryotes - a name of a kingdom 
• Etc means etcetera
• Interbreed - when two different animals have babies together

Mnemonics help us remember hard things, for example NEVER EAT SOGGY WEETBIX helps us remember North East South West. 

This is the mnemonic i learnt to help me remember the order:

Keep Ponds Clean Or Fish Gets Sick

dinosaurs history

DINOSAUR HISTORY

By Junefia and Janett

This information report is about dinosaurs that ruled the earth. 

Palaeontologists

A paleontologists are scientists that study ancient things including mammals and dinosaurs. Mary Anning was famous because she was a  fossil hunter and she also finds shell and fossils. Her dad was very clever and he even taught Mary what the fossil were called,she called them “curios”.Mary Anning was much different to another old woman named “Joan Wiffen”,Joan Wiffen was a famous DINOSAUR hunter and she was the first person to find one peice of a dinosaurs tailbone in New Zealand. She proved for the first time that dinosaurs had once been in NZ. One day,Mary’s brother Joseph led her along a cliff,than Mary saw a skull.straight away, Mary could see that this was the skull of no ordinary creature,and it was huge over a metre long.Joan Wiffen was a very smart woman who hunts dinosaurs and see if they are extinct or not extinct.She knew that AMMONITES became extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs,and soon,dinosaurs were at the top of her most wanted list.

Fossils

Fossils are dead animals or plants. They are usually skeletons found embedded in rock. Sometimes fossils are footprints or poo. Small animals or insects get stuck in tree sap which hardens and traps them forever. Large animals can get trapped in ice ,or their carcass gets trapped in layers  of rock. Over thousands of years ,pressure builds up and the ground. Next the mould left is filled with minerals that form rock. This rock shape is the fossils - an exact replica of the dinosaurs. This process takes 10,000 years. Palaeontologists find fossils when the top layer of dirt or rock washes away. When dinosaurs died their skin gets washed off,and then that is when you see the fossil of an dinosaur. 

Age of dinosaurs

The age of dinosaurs when dinosaurs existed. Dinosaurs started existing around 230 million years ago and died 66 million years ago. This time is also called the Mesozoic Era. During this time lots of different animals evolved.  230 mya dinosaurs evolve. 200 mya small mammals appear. 200-146 mya their were no people. 150 mya Birds evolve from dinosaurs. 140 mya first flowering plants appear. 130 mya first snakes evolve from lizard. 65 mya dinosaurs die out.      

What were dinosaurs like?

Some animal eats meat (carnivore), but some animals eat plants (herbivores), some animals eat both (omnivore). Female dinosaurs lay eggs , dinosaurs lives in family’s.  Non avian means dinosaurs that are not birds but avian mean birds. Dinosaur that are warm- blooded because their temperature is always the same. When they eat food they get more energy and then they run fast. But if they don’t eat food they were not have much energy and then they were walk slow. This is called their metabolism. Some dinosaurs had modifications (changes) like horns, spikes, crests or armour. 

Extinction event

Extinction means “DEAD” which means an extinction event is something that all the dinosaurs were dead. The scientist two ideas about how did the dinosaurs die,their ideas were,the dinosaur could have died because of the big meteorite that hit the world and formed earthquakes killed them and it is just like the movie Ice age.

Age of mammals

The Age of Mammals is the period of time after dinosaurs became extinct, and mammals ruled the Earth. It is also called the Cenozoic Era. There are 3 time periods in this Era; palaeogene period-60-58 mya, Neogene period (23-2.6 million years ago) and the Quaternary period (0.25 million years ago). During this time different mammals evolved. Titanoboa becomes one of the predators at the top of the food chain. 55-34 mya:large mammals appear,including horses and camels. 23-2.6 mya: Hominins begin to walk on two legs. 2.6-0 mya:Modern humans evolve.

Dinosaurs were the most powerful creatures to roam the Earth. If they lived now, they would be the dominant species.

Dinosaur knowledge

Prior Knowledge	In 2 weeks, we learnt that...
Animal Predator Dino is the root word ‘Saurs’ means something Species  Extinct  Huge Large bones Long necks Eggs  Sharp teeth Long tails Eat people Different kinds Spikes Horns Mammals 4 legs	Bipedal means 2 feet and quadruped means 4 feet. Some dinosaurs are bipedal and some are quadrupeds. Some can change between the two stances. They are sturdy. Theropod is a 3 clawed dinosaurs Dinosaurs are warm-blooded, which means their blood temperature is always the same Carnivore means a meat eater Herbivore means a plant eater Omnivore means it can eat plants and meat Some dinosaurs are huge and some are small. Typically, huge dinosaurs were sluggish (slow).  Dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago. They started existed 230 million years.  They died because of an extinction event, most people think this was because a meteor hit the Earth.  Dinosaurs legs go out the bottom of their hip bones, whereas reptiles bones go to the side of their hips. Reptiles do not have an extra hole in their skull, but dinosaurs do.  Mary Anning found lots of fossils on a cliffside in England in the 19th century. She was born in 1799 and died in 1847. She survived a lightning strike as a baby. In 1824 she found the first fossil.	Non-avian dinosaurs are dinosaurs that are not birds. Avian means birds. Metabolism means how fast or slow your body converts food into energy Diverse means a big range Modifications means changes. Dinosaurs have modifications such as spikes, armour, horns or crests.  Clade means family. Lineage means ancestors/descendants  Paleontologists are scientists that study ancient things including dinosaurs There are 4 main groups of dinosaurs; theropods, sauropods, ankylosaurus and pterosaurs. Titanoboa was top of the food chain after the dinosaurs died. It killed people by constricting people. It spent most of its time in the water because it was super heavy. It was 13m long, as big as a bus.  Hominins existed when 7-6 million years ago, the first humans to walk on 2 feet.  People did not exist when dinosaurs existed.	Adaptation is something that changes over time.  Ecology - how animals relate to each other Fossils are made when dinosaurs die and their bones get trapped in rock or mud. The bones break down over time but leave a mould, which is filled with rock. This becomes the fossil.  Dinosaurs sometimes eat each other.  There were 3 periods of time that have dinosaurs. This is called the ‘age of dinosaurs’ also known as the ‘Mesozoic Era’; Triassic period, Jurassic period, and Cretasous period.  Then there were 3 more periods in time, “Age of mammals”, also known as ‘Cenozoic Era’; Paleogene Period, Neogene period and  Quaternary period. Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent, including Antarctica. Joan Wiffen found the first dinosaur fossil (a theropods tailbone) in NZ in 1975, in Hawkes Bay. She died in 2009.  Dinosaurs laid eggs and they lived in family groups.
