What was Tupaia well known for?- He was well known for helping cook with his discoveries and findings and he was also the translator for Cook.

Why was he in New Zealand?- He was with cook to help him for peace with the other tribes and he was the translator for them.

What happens to Tupaia- He died alone and of Malaria and Pneumonia with no friends.

Maths Reflection

WALT- Learn how to solve the problem. 

This is a equation that we did yesterday.

Tukutuku panels can be made form wooden rods (kaho) with cross stitches (tuinga), often using many colours.

The kaokao is a traditional tukutuku design that symbolises the strength of a warrior.

Imagine you continued this pattern until there were 8 kaho. How many tuinga would there be?.

What if there were 18 kaho What if there were 38 kaho?

Find a way to calculate the number tuinga needed for any number of kaho.

This is how we solved it

    

And we all had different parts in this problem

Rockets

Do you like Rockets? Well I do and this story is going to be about rockets and how we made them and the experience.

It was Friday 14th of June and light and summery outside we had been studying rockets for a few weeks with our ambassador (Daniel), he works for the Wonder Project a company who helps kids learn stuff and develop skills Daniel is pretty good at what he does.

We made the rockets from a 1.5 fizzy bottle which is the main thing and was pretty fun making them and the process my group was Kanita, Me and Dayna we worked really well and had heaps of fun on the process of making it but there were also some ups and downs when we were together like we weren't sharing and helping and being but we still enjoyed being wit each other.


We headed out with our class and the equipment that was already prepared from Daniel to make it blast into the air like a actual rocket doesn't that sound cool anyway we were the first group to shot our rockets into the air we used to 275ml of water and also 60 PSI which is the highest you can go then came the true test we shot into the air we counted from 5 4 3 2 1 BLAST OFF then into the air it went it didn't go far but was still cool.

I had a great time working with Daniel and with my Group they were so fun and also Daniel thank you for helping us and teaching us to learn some cool stuff for the future and helping us realise what we want to be and also my experience was amazing and had great fun and made some memories with my group. 
                                                  Here is our rocket the bottle is the rocket

Teachers Strike

Why did the teachers strike? well today in this writing your going to find out why and also some of the opinions that teachers thought of it and also the agreements and disagreement for the school and for the teachers

The reasons for there strike was because the were made to work extra and they dont get paid extra and they even gotta work on weekends rather then spending quality time with there family and there friends because you only live once.

Finally I agree for the strike because the teachers get a day with there family and also we get a day of which is a win win in my head and that day was fun to have of because I went to visit my baby cousin which was cool to.
