How I feel about hangouts for school in lockdown level 3?

I feel is that I feel a little bit sad because I do not get to see my teacher Mrs Tofa and all of friends at school.

We miss doing stuff at school like helping if the teachers needed help and not seeing everyone in person, I miss getting teach in a class room because, for me when I am in a class room I get a lot of help from my teacher and from the students in my class.

Right now I struggle sometimes but I get some things finish when I try my best. Why I miss getting teach in a class room is that I always lag on my Chromebook and sometimes I have to refresh my page and that takes so long.

How I feel about online school is that its cool to see everyone on it everyday and to see that no one has got Covid - 19. 

What I like about is that if we needed help we could just unmute our self to ask for some help and that we get share our work to everyone and have a laugh if there is something that is funny. 

What I feel about Auckland is in lockdown level 3 is that I don't get to see my family more offend as I used to do because everyday I see my Nana after school and auntie's and uncle's when they come to my house. 

Its sad that we have to wear a musk where ever we go and wash our hand all the time, sad that I don't get to eat my favorite foods for a whole week but to me I think this lockdown is gonna make me lose some KG's for once, But yeah lockdown is alright but that its sometimes ruin things in life but yeah keep safe every one.  

Writing - The first settlers who came to New Zealand

P - Point

E - Evidence 

E - Example

L - Link

The first settlers who came to New Zealand were the ancestors of the Māori. They sailed from the Pacific Islands to New Zealand on waka. They lived in New Zealand before anyone else came. They built the house with anything they could find but Maoris started coming into New Zealand around the 1320 and 1350.

When Maori’s came to New Zealand in 1320 and 1350, different kind of explorers came after that. The first explorer who came to New Zealand was Abel Tasman he was the first European to sailed around New Zealand in 1642, He came to boats to ride around New Zealand to see if anyone was in New Zealand yet but he died in 10 October 1659 because of natural causes around the age of 56. The next explorer was James Cook, he was a British explorer, he came to New Zealand its because that he and Maoris had a deal but it didn’t get successful but some of the Maoris got killed that time. He went all around New Zealand to prove that a great southern continent did not exist in the Pacific. James cook came into New Zealand in October 1769.

After when I said that James Cook and the Maoris had a deal and it got successful that's when James Cook got really mad that he wanted to fight for New Zealand (The whole country). In 8 October 1769 that's when the Maoris and James Cook and his crew were gonna fight, the place where they have fight was called Turanganui-a-Kiwa, but James Cook was very smart, he had 4 tribes to wonder around east side of the Tūranganui River.

 

 

Day 2 of lockdown level 3

It was a Rainy day and I was ready for day number 2 of online school. Today at 9:00 am I went on my class hangout, today we first did some reading in our reading groups and, then we did some writing to finish off our explanation Writing, after that we blog our work like a our reading work that we have finish and our writing.

We then had a break because it was morning tea, after that we had maths, today's maths was pretty alright but it was still a little hard for me but we had to blog our maths work too. After maths is was lunch break, but when it was lunch break we had to do our Whanau Challenge, we had to do a family tree because we had to show our parents is name and our grandparents and even to our great grandparents but we had to try to go all the way to our ancestors.

When we got back from our break we had to share about our family tree but when it was turn I showed my class who my parents are, my grandparents and even my great grandparents that I haven't even meet, after our sharing we had a little talk about our next day and then we had say goodbye to each other.

After my online school I got to have some and the food that I had was cooked chicken and cooked banana and with a 7 up drink on the side. next I went back upstairs to play my Ps4 for quite a long time I hopped off the game and went for a shower, after shower I jumped on my bed, watch some videos on Tik Tok and fall asleep.

Whanau Challange - Family Tree - Day 2

Math's - Problem

My Problem I have to solve: 

If Roimata allows 3 biscuits for each person and there are 12 biscuits in a packet, how many packets of biscuits does she need?

So this is how I solved my problem:

3 X 172 = 3 x 100 = 300 3 X 70 = 210 3 X 2 = 6 Total = 516 biscuits 516 / 12 = 43 They need 43 packets of biscuits
