For inquiry the year sevens have been making some sculptures. My sculpture is made for my best friend Leiite. My sculpture is an axe because my friend likes to play call of duty and fortnight so it represents what he likes to play.

My sculpture is made out of paper and it is an axe.

my examples of particles

today December the 4th we were learning about particles from a solid liquid and a gas because solid likes to hold there shape and liquid only hold there shape when they are pored into a container and gas is wild they like to run free scroll down for some examples


the solids are like a ice and ice is a sold if you give ice heat it turns into water a liquid and there particles like to run around but sort of like a jog and if you give heat to water you get gas and gas is wild they like to run it is like air but hotter.

underneath the tree

Walking to the tree i spot something it looked like some kind of paper. It was lying on the ground underneath the tree
i walked up close and closer then i picked it up, it was a book it said diary on it so i opened it and it had all sorts of writing in it,but one particularly story caught my eyes.

It was some good writing to read so i sat down and started reading it.
It said that the boy was to be described as light skin with brown hair i was like is that me i was blushing in joy i said quietly
“what do you mean brother” I kept on reading and reading the there was about two more sentences.

I was shocked, i thought it was  me and so i left the diary and stood up and saw that it was sunset  it was a beautiful
the sun was bright and my eyes were half open. I saw a girl running up to me and i went behind the tree and hid,
and waited for her to leave.

Tupuia Explanation Template : Explaining 3 ideas

Being a good learner? I will tell you my opinion on how to be a good learner just scroll down and collect information on being a good learner


having a good breakfast makes you a good learner. Someone that always pays attention to the teacher.  will have a good time and have a 50% chance of getting help. And learning while all your other friend’s are mucking around not wanting to learn.

Making sure you have a good sleep is the number one thing you do at night so you can have a better time resting. And you have a better time waking up and getting ready to go to school.



A good learner will listen to everything the teacher says and will ask question so he/her will know what there doing. When they get to there chromebooks. And a good learner always has there chromebook charged overnight and brought to school everyday.


Thank you for reading my three ideas about being a good learner.

My Holidays

Let me tell you what i did in the holidays. First we got changed a headed off to the golfing range ,
near the airport it was my first time going. When we got there we went inside and
we waited in line my mum asked the owners of the store if we can get
one hundred golf balls each and 3 drives, a drive is something that you hit the golf ball with
to make it go far and high we call it a golf club.

My first hit was so bad i missed the ball and hit the ground i wanted to give up but when i saw my uncle hit the ball it went far. I was so shocked on how far it went in my head i said “ woow”  then i got kind of good hitting the golf ball then after that we went to maccas and had a big lunch it as tasty and delicious we got ice creams after that. I was tired when we got back home & slept.

It’s time for what I hear you say.   It’s time for teachers to have their say - to be heard.   That’s right our teachers are banding together this month to grab the attention of our government.  There are a number of things that our teachers are hoping to achieve by going on strike. I will explain some of these things in the following paragraphs.  You might even be able to see how you can be part of the action!

More time to teach: the Kids that come to school need teachers to teach them so they can have a good education.
But at the moment the teachers are spending most of their times they are writing reports for the kids.  There is people that need more support than some others because people that come from the islands of Tonga,Cook island,Samoa (etc). They have trouble speaking English.

Teachers need to get paid more because they are a good help to kids. Some schools that have teachers don’t
get paid much and they have 5-6 hours of teaching. A final point I want to share is that teachers are wasting their time doing more work instead of having fun with their families and our literacy teacher Mrs Tele'a has to do extra work for us kids.

I disagree with strikes because teachers do extra hard work teaching and doing work for us so we can work.
And post it on our blogs for the whole world to see.

Fractions Finale

I want to add ½ with ¼. First I change ½ to  then I add

⅓ + ⅙. ⅓ =   2/6 + ⅙ = 3/6 or ½

¼ + ⅛.  ¼ = 2/8 + ⅛ = ⅜

How can I change ⅔ into sixths ( 4/6)?

How can I change ⅔ into twelfths ( 8/12)

⅓ + ¼ = 7/12

⅓ = 4/12   ¼ = 3/12

⅓ + ⅕ = 8/15

⅓ = 5/15  ⅕ = 3/15

⅙ + ⅛ = 14/48 or 7/24

⅙ = 8/48    ⅛ = 6/48

1/10 + 1/100 = 11/100`

1/10 + 1/1000 = 101/1000

⅓ + 1/7 = 10/21

¼ + ⅕ = 9/20

⅓ + ⅖ = 11/15
