SLJ Week 2 Day 1 - Haiku Poem - Kick Start

 

Helloo, this is one of the activities i did called a haiku poem.I f you don't know what a haiku poem is, its a Japanese short poem that goes in a certain order of syllables that doesn't rhyme. ( I think )

Backstory Of The Poem :)

So basically this poem explains about two friends who met each other and said hello. But as time went by one of them (lets just say Friend B) found different friends to play with and started getting too busy with them that she didn't have enough time for Friend A. Friend B spend more time with her other friends that she started to ignore Friend A, so that's when Friend A and Friend B turned into strangers instead of friends.

Which One Is Real & Which Is Fake?

 

Learning About Islam w/ Mrs Ayub !

On Wednesday the 4th our student teacher Mrs Ayub taught us a lesson about her religion. Mrs Ayub is Islamic but born in New Zealand and refers herself as a Kiwi-Paki. 

What I learnt about Islam is that they pray 5 times a day. Here's when they pray followed how you say it in Pakistan (in the brackets)

• At dawn(fajr)
• After midday(Dhuhr)
• Afternoon (Asr)
• Sunset (Maghirb)
• Night time(Isha)

Islams believe in what we believe except they have have different ways of expressing their religion. Like when they pray they get a mat, kneel and bow, pray facing towards Mecca. It's something like this.

What I found interesting about Muslims (Islams) is that I find Arabic writing interesting. I find Arabic writing really fascinating but more fascinating since they write and read Arabic backwards. Like for example their holy book called a Quran (also spelled as Qur'an or Koran) is written and read backwards.

We also learnt about the Arabic alphabet. Its pretty confusing since I'm not Arabic but its really cool.

Maths Problems

 This week for my groups math's we just did problem solving. The writing in the black are the questions and the blue are our answers. These answers were by me and Valerie. (helped by Mrs Pome'e 

____________________________________________________________

The ‘Clean as a Whistle Car Wash’ can wash 14 cars an hour. If it is open 12 hours a day, 5 days a week, how many cars can it wash in a week?

• The ‘Clean as a Whistle Car Wash’ washed 840 cars in a week.

____________________________________________________________

What is the difference between 150 x 150 and 134 x 166? 

• The difference is 256 because 

• 150x150 = 22500

• 134x166 = 22244

• 22500 - 22244 = 256.

____________________________________________________________

Joe made a trip from Bluetown to Redtown. On the first day he travelled half the distance between the two towns. On the second day he travelled half of the remaining distance. He then had 100km left to travel. How far is it from Bluetown to Redtown? 

• Its 400km all together because 

• A quarter of the distance is 100km and the other three quarters is 

300km and all together it's 400km..?

____________________________________________________________

A cake weighs 1.5kg. If the cake were cut into 5 equal pieces, how many grams would each piece weigh? 

• 1500/5 = 300g 

• So convert 1.5kg into grams gives us 1500g then we divided by 5

= 300

____________________________________________________________

Sue is allowed to watch 40 hours of television each week. If she watches 20 hours during the weekend, how many hours on average does she watch each weekday? 

• So every day she watches tv for 4 hours

• 40h - 20h = 20h left 

• 20 / 5 days = 4 hours a day.

____________________________________________________________

What is the difference between the sum of the odd counting numbers between 20 and 30 and the sum of the even counting numbers between 20 and 30?

• 21, 23, 25, 27, 29 odd numbers 

• 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 even numbers 

• So we added the odd numbers = 125 and the even numbers to 150

• 150 - 125 = 25.

___________________________________________________________

In parking meters downtown you can get 15 minutes parking for 10c. Dad put a 50c and a 20c piece into the parking meter at 3:15pm. At what time did the parking meter expire?

• It expires at 5:00pm because every 10c will give you 15min 

• 70c will give you 1.45min.

• So your 70c will take you up to 5:00pm 

____________________________________________________________

Freda and Fred ladybird were playing a jumping game on the number line. Fred can jump three numbers at a time; Freda can only jump two numbers. Fred started at 1 and Freda started at 30. If they both jumped together, how many jumps did the ladybird with the least number of jumps make to get to 100? 

• Fred at 33 jumps

• Freda at 35 jumps

• 100/3 = 33 r 1

• 100 - 30 =70

• 70/2 = 35 jumps

How To Be A Good Friend w/ Mrs Adcock

Uinita

To be a good friend you need to always be honest, even about their appearance. You need to tell them even if you think they look bad , or if you have a bad feeling about someone or something. Also to be a good friend around this time make sure to sanitize and far cough somewhere else to keep each other safe :) To be a good friend you need to be a good person in general so your friend doesn't have a bad influence on you. Friends tell you secrets for a reason, to be told but not to be shared! If you’re thinking about a good influence think about Jacinda Adern, someone who thinks and acts like a leader and sticks up for what she thinks is right. Social media could cause argument’s or drama online but as a good friend you need to stick together even when rumors are spread you need to think before you react before you  say something you’ll regret :) 

Today's Kiwican Lesson

Lastly we played the last game called GKQ (stands for general knowledge questions)  for this game we formed four lines and were asked general knowledge questions the first person to say their buzzer gets to answer but if the person gets it wrong the question still stands for the next person who says their buzzer to answer the question correctly. The winner for that activity was Ezekiel. 

Today for Kiwi can we had Lena and Mrs Matt. Today for our lesson the topic was respect our school and the theme is respect. They asked us questions based on the topic like ''respect our school'' as our answers were ''looking after the property'' '' following the rules'' etc. by the time our talk was over we played our energizer called heads up. To play the energizer you have to form a circle with your players and you keep your heads down until the leader tells you to you put your head up and look at someone. If you look at the person and they're looking at you, you both are out. But if you look at them and they're looking somewhere else you can proceed to the next round til it narrows down into the last three. For our game the last three was kalo, aisea and kue'a. The person who won the energizer was kue'a.

Next after the energizer we learnt this thing where Lena & Mrs Matt taught us this hand thingy relating to the topic respect our school at the tune of YMCA. After that we played another activity called 3 values. Its when you have three actions and the players can do any action from those three actions, but with a person at the front who can do any action when his back is facing us until he turns around with and action. You have to do an action before the person turns around. If you're doing the same action as the person at the front you are out. Til the last person left wins, we played this game ,multiple times which means there were multiple winners for that activity.

 

Maths Fire Questions

 These equations we had to figure out in our head and when we finish answering the questions, then we can use a calculator to see if our answer was right, Here are my answers :)

Back To School T4 Goals

Maths: My goal for Maths is to work more on my decimals until i fully understand the correct way they're supposed to be used for addition and subtraction.

In general: My goal in general is to pay attention when being told how to do something and to participate more in group discussions and in p.e.
