What kind of language is used in this text?

English but types that they don't sometimes know how to use their punctuation's so broken English.

What is this text about, how do you know?

This text is about how a little girl which they call their granddaughter loves to write, and she was writing about killing butterflies because they eat all our food, and the teacher does not know that butterflies are killing our vegetable because she doesn't grow any vegetables she buys them at the supermarket and she really cares about butterflies because the teacher thinks they are gentle and beautiful.

What does the author want us to know?

That butterflies aren't what we think they are, like they are very beautiful and kind, but really they have been eating our vegetables that we love to eat.

And also the author wants us to know how life was back then maybe.

By having the story they are talking about being realistic by having family by her questioning her about school and what she did, and also having the teacher by telling her that everything the little girl is writing that it may be wrong.

What were the main mathematical concepts or ideas that you learned or that we discussed in class?

One thing that I know that I learned in maths were that we can always learn from our mistakes and maths is not a thing to keep focus on and always struggle with what your doing, because its about having fun and not a type of hard work sometimes.

What questions do you still have about building a sculpture with tooth picks?

Why did we have to do it, like what did it have to do with maths?

But I feel like it was a reason for the phrase you learn from your own mistakes and if the sculpture breaks down then that will be your mistake.

Factual or satirical?

The onion - The website has different types of news on both sides and the middle and it has different thing you can click to visit some other things you wanna know about. The photos they are using are photos that don't so much about the message or news they are talking about. They are using fake headlines that people can tell that it ain't real just like people can jump off the aeroplane without using the aeroplane. This website is satirical from my looks or it.

The New York times - I believe that this news is fake because one of them talks about cardi b and it has her sitting on pianos and singing when she only raps and doesn't play piano on stage.

The civilian - The website looks like a type of website that has all news that fit into one page and doesn't really look real with the titles they have from the information.

The daily mail - The website has things that talks more about older people information but for what I have seen it talks about a man that had to rip his leg off and it was still there but they never said they are about to rip his leg off.

The daily mash - In this website it has different type of website that you can click on that can take you to the news that you want and I feel like its fake by the way because all the photos doesn't show the info.

The herald - By looking at the website it shows a lot of info that I hear around my family that happen and also the photo really shows the real meaning of the info.

The shovel - In my opinion I believe its fake because one site news shows that someone has died after waiting two hundred years for a train to come and pick him up when no one can ever live that long.

Daily telegraph - I believe this website is fake because its all on this one site that I saw it was about two girls got into a car crash that really doesn't show the car that got into the accident but only show the girls with their face covered.

Art from the start

Art term 1 2019:

3D drawings:

From the start of the year in term 1 my class and I had to draw 3D looking shapes with shading and everything to make it look realistic.

I tried my best to do my best on how to make it look realistic and it turned out alright.

I had to draw the background, the table, the shade and finger shading that I usually use.

This was my ever first time drawing something that I never thought that I could draw because when I tried I started to get better at it and now I think to myself I could draw other shapes or other objects or things.

Maths Crafts

Maths Crafts:

In maths crafts we are making different types of thing to do with paper.

We had to get into groups of 4 and create things that we see on different paper instructions.

I made a thing called a mongus sponge and there was a lot of folding which was pretty hard work and very untiring but I finished off really good and I really give myself credit for doing such a good Job.

And right now today we are choosing a subject to do I chose origami and others chose different cool things.

Me and my group are making a vase with flowers with paper colourful type and we are hoping and we know that its going to end well :D.

I was learning about doing a plot and to make a point timeline.

So what I had to do with it is to put all the main parts in all different time lines there were ten chapters and I had to figure about through out the whole movie to find main parts to put all together and I also had to add pictures to go next with the main point and it was pretty hard but I did a good Job.

 

Mu torere

Tech term 4 2018

Mu torere

What we did in wood tech term 4 we had to make a maori game called mu torere 

the thing I used to make this was using a pencil compass by making a good circle.

But before that you have to make lines Horizontally, Vertically and Diagonally to do where the middle dot will be.

The way this game goes is each player only has one place to move to until your next turn and this is a two player game and the way it goes is to trap your opponent from moving but the game still goes because there is a space in the middle you can move in.

There are two layers of wood for this one wood with the holes on the and one of them that don't so that the pins don't go through while your playing.
