This task is about creating a DLO about how to stand up to bullies.I made up my own stand meaning how to stand up to bullies,Stand , Stands for Speak up, Talk to someone,Never listen to bullies,Dont be a bully. Doing this task was interesting to me because I used my own words to help someone stand up to bullies and what happens if your in that suitation.My advice for cyberbullying is to stand up for yourself and talk to someone as soon as possible instead of keeping locked away.

Hidden Cost Challenge

LI: To make smart choices with money

For maths we had an ASB Getwise Challenge that helped us make smart choices with money.This activity was really helpful because it helped me think about being wise with my money or budget given.Something I found interesting about this activity was doing challeneges that help us be wise with our money given to us.Something I learnt from doing this challenge was being wiser with the bduget of money you are given adn to think before making you descsions.

ASB getwise

 LI:To make wise choices with your money. 

Today we had a ASB getwise session with Marlon. Marlon taught us how to use your money wisely and to stop think and choose wisely before making the decision you are facing. We played a game in teams that would help us make a wise decision of how we spend our money by working as a team and being a team player . Every decision we choose comes with earning points, the more points we earn from our decision is earned because of our wise choices we have made .

Our task was to use our $1800 dollars sensibly that we received to go to Fiji on holiday. Me and my team Bella,Leitu,Afatia worked together to use our money cleverly so the points we earn the better time we enjoy there. The first activity we did was paying for our passport and the passport cost exactly $200 dollars. We had two choices: pay now or pay later but paying later will make the cost higher so we paid now . Everyone had a decision that made us stop thinking and choose wisely whether we have the least money or not. It all matters about the way you are spending money .

Our team chose a credit card and paid $300 dollars as soon as we expected too .If you don't pay when you are supposed to, your budget will go $100 dollars more .The 3 decisions we had of activities was Surfuring ($100) , Snorkeling ( $200) , Skydiving($300) so we chose snorkeling because the left over money we had was $200 so we chose to spend .Something I found interesting about ASB getwise was learning how to be wise with the money and how to save or spend .

Summary about money

 LI: To create an summary about money 

This week , My group created an Summary about money , we first started off by reading about it. It talked about how money was used back in the days , how money was created ? Who created money ? What money looked like back in our history. We then found 20 words that we thought was important from the story , then we chose six most important words from the 20 words , after that we created a summary telling us about what we read by using the six most important words.Something I found interesting is learning about the history about money and where the word money comes from. The word money comes for the Latin word Moneta, in ancient Rome.

A Moment in Time Poem

 LI:To use the language features and structure of published poem to help use write our own poem.

We looked at the language features and structure of a poem called ‘A Moment in Time’ and used our experiences from camp to follow the structure and collaboratively create our own moment in time poem.To describe what we heard, what we saw, how we felt and what we wondered we used our senses, adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives is a word that describes more about a noun. Adverb is something that describes a place or time

My New Zealander's name is Dame Whina Cooper , a women who has fight for Maori Land her whole life and she never stopped because she knew Maori Land was a place of freedom and harmony . Something I found interesting about rescearching about Dame Whina Cooper is the Excellence she showed to prove that Maori Land is a place for anyone to live in peace and harmony 

Settings

LI: To use powerful words to describe a setting so that it paints a clear picture in the mind of the reader

As the currents of the angelic navy waves washed upon the shore ,it immediately left drenched seaweed and sand marks behind . The uneven path of rocks bunched together making its way to its mysterious destination . As I slowly approach the currents of the ocean the humble and celestial sunset slowly dissolved into the fluffy clouds. I closed my eyes and breathe into the glorious calm salt air and open my eyes and saw a figure of heaven on Earth , it was like a island of blessing . Seeing a breathtaking view was just a graceful moment anyone could of enjoyed.

• A setting is the place, time and environment of a story to help a reader make a connection to your narrative you need to use your words in away that helps them form a picture of what you are describing in their mind.

• To do this we looked at an image and thought of 10 words that described and showed what we could see. Once we had thought of the adjectives or adverbs we used our smart searching skills to help us find synoymns that made our descriptions clearer.

I found this interesting because I got to expercience more about settings and how to use powerful words to make my story more descriptive .

Pulleys

 LI: To use our smart searching skills to find out about pulleys.

We have been learning about simple machines. There are 6 different types of simple machines. This week we learnt about pulleys. Our DLO shows our labelled diagrams of a pulley system. A labelled diagram is an information picture. Pulleys are a way of moving a load or change the direction of force.If the load is large the more pulleys are used.

Tom gates is a book about his life and about the brillant things he has discovered . 

Goosebumbs , slappys world is about a story of slappy who is a doll who comes to life to tell his own twisted tales and scary tales to the living around him .
