My Maori Video

I can greet people in Maori - Sometimes
I can count up to ten in Maori - Sometimes
I can give number between 20 and 100 in Maori - Sometimes



I was pleased with what I remembered because I didn't wrote anything down to remember my Maori. I am also pleased that I can count up to 5, which is amazing since this is my first speaking Maori. I am very pleased with myself!

I need to work on my pronounciation in Maori because I keep saying it differently. I also need to remember the numbers from 6 to 10..

My effort during Maori was Good!

Life Education

Life Education...

Last week, SAMS had a visit from Life Education. This time, our visits aren't nice and cute like they used to be in primary, it was scary and full of terror... it gave people nightmares and makes little kids cry! "Web of Addiction" is what it’s called! Our lessons were taught by Michelle, she is cool and very entertaining.

The lessons were mainly about drugs, alcohol and puberty. I know, scary! We learnt about certain drugs and what it does to you, pretty scary stuff. We saw so many videos and pictures of how drugs can ruin your family, friend and future. Though it was scary, it was fun and a bit creepy. Another thing we learn was about puberty and how we are all different from other people. There will and always will be only one me right now and the future! We learnt a bit about how our body work, with hormones during our ‘teens’ years. Like how one certain morning when your voice (and something else too) drop and you start to turn a bit crazy and creepy. We learn many drugs names and how dangerous they are, and alcohols. It might be legal but they can be a bit of a pain when you are addicted to them… What else? Yeah, we learn about having 7 steps or years of puberty. Seriously, we know this stuff already… we just don’t use those big words that Michelle did.

Right now, Life Ed is in a primary school, can’t remember which one. Yes, almost forgot, we saw Harold, he is cute and amazing as always. We also saw his big friend; Big G… He is so creepy, he scares me a lot!

Science Investigation/Science Fair

My topic is: The Weather (Planet Earth and Beyond)

Aim:

• What do you want to find out?
• Why do you want to do the experiment?

My aim is to predict a long term and/or a short term weather in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch, by looking at the weather patterns last year at this time of the year, e.g. first week of June.

Hypothesis:

• What do you think will happen?
• Make an educated guess from the background research you have done

My hypothesis is that I can predict the weather in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch correctly, by looking at past weathers.

Equipment:

• Find out and list all the experiment and resources you need

1. Resources like internet, news, books etc. about weather (recorded weather in the past 12 months.

Method:

• Give the instructions clearly and concisely to your experiment in order, so that some one else can repeat it.
• Number each step, and begin each step with a verb, e.g. place, mix, cut.

1. Research and collect data on weathers in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch in the Winter/Summer months.

2. Organise my data, and look at weather patterns, e.g. temperatures, rain falls, etc., in each city.

3. Predict an accurate weather for each city for certain day and/or week from your data.

NEW Science Fair Idea!

My new Science Fair idea is... -drum rolls-

Predicting the weather by looking at the weather of the last 3 month in each region! ...it would be an easier Science Project!

Do YOU have any suggestion?

My Science Project

In Room 7, we're going to do a Science Fair Project! We brainstormed what we are

we going to do for our Science Fair, I have several random ideas by my favorite is

designing an invisible Tic-Tac-Toes game using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010.

It will be so much fun designing the game and testing it on several people!

Firstly, I have to design a Tic-Tac-Toe game, and of course, testing it to make sure

that it work. Next, I have to come up with a formula to make sure that my program

will always win so I can experiment it on people.

My project will be in Technology Development section, so I think that it will be a really unique

project and yet understandable. Plus, I don't really need many materials, I only need:

my laptop, Microsoft Visual and CMD. My project will be a challenge but it will not be an

impossible project because I already have some basic knowledge of computer/program designing

and I guess I sort of have a "passion" for it.

I just need to think of some questions to go with it, what do YOU think?
