The Beautiful Mahi Toi

Kia Ora, For the past term and a few weeks we have been working on our Mahi Toi. If you do not know what Mahi Toi is it is art. When doing this art we have to be silent so that there isn't place for mistakes. Sometimes it get frustrating to focus because it is to quit and I don't know how to work when it is quiet. I don’t like art but I am starting to warm up to it. I had to do copy after copy after copy because I didn’t quite get the technique right. Now I am onto learning to blend the colors that I will be using on the clean copy so that I can make it look amazing. What I did well was listened to instructions. What I could do better is not give up so easily. Do you like doing Mahi toi 

Tricky Tricky Algebra

Kia Ora, last week in Te Ngahere in Pangarau we were learning how to do algebra. At first I wasn't very comfortable with this type of math because I hadn't worked with it before. There were letters like N and B that was put in front of the equation. When we looked at these letters we thought that they meant something but they really didn’t. We learnt  how to do a trick but in maths: think of a number , multiply it but 2, take away 5 now half your answer. Many people mistake this type of algebra for magic. We also learnt how to use a number sequence and how to make sure that these would work together perfectly. 

What I did well is try to learn how to and not give up. What I could do better is co-opertate more. Have you ever learned algebra ?

The Amazing Rest

 

For the past two weeks I had a break from school. During these 2 week I had a large time off bonding with my 6 siblings. With my siblings we went for walks to the beach, made jokes, were  being clowns and spent time together. I also spent a lot of time on social media such as , Tik Tok, Youtube and many more.  I enjoy having this time with them because we got closer and always laughed. I missed being at school though because I missed being with my friends 24/7 and I missed not being able to play with them. What was  amazing this holiday was taking a break from doing school work. What was not this  amazing holiday was I missed my friends and teachers. What did you like about the holidays ?
