WHY I SHOULD GO ON THE HOROUTA WAKA

 Dear waka captain Anito 

Lots of people have been talking about how our island has been overpopulated, people have been running out of food and supplies so I want to be one of the brave voyagers to try to find new land. 

Firstly I am great at navigation when the waka runs off course I will be there to use the bright stars and warm currents to guide the waka back onto the track 

Secondly I will fix the waka when the rope snaps in a storm when waves are as big as mountains.Im a very good climber and not scared of heights when the sail snaps. 

Thirdly I fancy myself as a pretty good doctor, when members get struck off the ship and drown  I'm good at CPR or they just get sea sick, so I can save lives. 

So coming to the conclusion, can you please accept my letter and hope that I can go on the horouta waka.

Yours sincerely one of your horouta waka members.

My strengths

My strength is teslaating different shapes into a shape and naming 3D solids and enlarging block lettering.

Goals

 Need to work on my enlargement. I thought that I would be good at enlarging because I normally get it right. I need to work  on my navigation systems and my a to b shapes and naming the difference between the rhombus and the parallelogram.

What helped me

I think that the work I did on the workshops helped me to know how to name shapes and teslatate and enlarge animals.

Preparing

I prepare for my test by learning my 3D shapes by looking around at all the different shapes around the class.  

What the teachers did well in, and what they need to work on

I think the teachers need to work on i think that they could give us more time on mathletics  and maybe some more activities 

Conclusion

I like geometry tests and I love dealing with different shapes  and doing block lettering as enlarging different animals. Another reason is that I love tinkercad using different shapes that I didn't even know about .

Rounding decimals

On Monday and Tuesday, we learnt how to add and round decimals; with Mrk and Mrs.
We did some of these questions so for instance 1.0 plus 2.3  
if you didn't know 
My strong suit isn't decimals; so it was a little challenge.

My Maths Place Value Reflection Week 9

 Maths Place Value Reflection Week 9

Thinking about my learning in place value the parts I’ve improved upon are my decimals and for next time i need to work on.

These could have been Mathletics, watching videos from 

the website, the workshops you attended or the Kahoots 

you were part of. 

The parts I really enjoyed were when we spit up and do workshops. 

The parts that could be better were  the first place value page.

Respect	Responsibility
I understand that my parents and teachers trust me to make good decisions online that help me learn and build respect among my peers.  I only use my Makauri gmail account at school.  If you bring your own device to school, use it in the ways, and at the times that your teacher says it is okay to. I don’t share my password for my email account with anyone, even my friends.	I never put my personal information online - You never know who might be able to access it. I know that in order to keep me safe at school, there are sites, programs, and Apps that I am forbidden to use.  I understand that sometimes it may be better to communicate with people in person rather than digitally. I always log off and return my device to the charging areas when I have finished.
Perseverance	Caring
My blog posts are always the best they can be since I am proud of what I share online.  I will make mistakes online but I will use them as learning experiences to move forward.	I think it's important that when I feel unsafe online I must tell an adult at school or at home. My blog comments and online feedback comments are always positive. They also challenge people to do better.
