Interviewing Vampires

Tokelaun language week.

Today in Wanaga I have been studying about Tokelau. 

Market day

  Yesterday Hornby High school had a market day, where people get in a group of four and they come with something to bring to school and sell it. They must keep count of how much profit they have.

To buy things you must bring real money to school then take it to the bank stand and give them you money exchange for fake money.

My group sold  Halo-Halo and Koko laisa all together we managed to make  $112.

 In Hurumanu we finally finished all of our work and then we had to  do a learning story about it.

Christchurch earthquake

In this period, my class have been studying about the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and how it affected a lot of people. It affected people by destroying their houses and forcing them to move out of  Christchurch. 
Some people even had to live in garages because they even lived with other people as well so they didn't feel nervous. Some schools had to move as well, one baker even moved to his house and made bread and went around the city on his bike and gave some bread to the people that were trying to fix the roads.  Some students got in and helped out to fix the roads. Some rest homes had to move as well, the liquefaction made it even worse going into their houses. The earthquake even destroyed parts of  the hospital .

Today in Hurumanu Sam, Evan and I made a mars rover. We used Mintys lasagne sheets Fettuccine Spaghetti pasta Penne and pasta Cannoli.

And we had to  slide it down a ramp to see how far it can go.

Today In science class we were doing this challenge where we partner up with someone and one of us goes down one hundred metres. To the other side of the field and  try to communicate with our own hand signs while the other person has to try and guess what the other person is saying and I got YMCA but the real word was white out.

Mean median and mode.

Mean meaning 

The mean means the average of numbers you add all the numbers up and then divide by how many numbers there are.

Median meaning.

The median mean the number that's in the middle but if there is a even number of numbers you must add the two ones in the middle and then divide them up.

Mode meaning. 

The mode means the number that is repeated the most amount of times.





And today I also finished all my work about the Mean Median and Mode.

After that my dad and I went to the basketball court, then my dad got tiered so we both went home when we got home I had a nice shower then I did some maths and then I watched tv with my dad.

Yesterday I finally completed all my school tasks, (hopefully) now I am just catching up with mum before she has a nap. Because she is working through the weekend and I have some very exciting news tomorrow my brother is turning nineteen but we can't really get him anything so I  will just give him a hug and maybe mum and I will bake a cake that if they bring milk home today. I am also very excited for when dad gets home because we are watching star wars rise of Skywalker. And right now I just sitting beside my brother.

 Saturday  was just a typical day, it was the first week of level three, and everyday feels like a very long holiday due to lock down.  
Bro and I woke up early so we could play Minecraft, then my brother left to go out. So I spent half of the  day chilling on my own which was entertaining until Qwayan finally came home and gently shoved outside the door of his room with leftover fish n chips that he just had while out. 
Then Dad and I spent time correcting the maths  homework, which my brother helped with the day before but it was incorrect 
Evening  came Mum cooked dinner together.
We made mince & sesame udon noodle stir fry, it only took about twenty minutes to cook here are some pics........

I am poring the water in the udon noodles.

Here I am stirring the mince.

I am about to pore the olive oil in the mince

I have mixed the Bok Choy and mince together.

I am about to put chilly past in with the stir fry

Here is the end result.

This week I have been trying to make a movie script this is what I have done.

Yesterday I woke up and had breakfast and then I played with my toys, after I played with my toys I read my book called wings of fire. When I had enough of reading my book I had lunch after I had lunch I had a nice nap because I was tired. After my nap I played with my toys again and then I learnt most of the Japanese alphabet called Hiragana and I wrote them down in a spare book that I found it was my brothers but he never used it though so I did. 

This is a photo of my brother carrying me while I ride on his back.

 After we

This week for reading I have been reading this book about dragons. I hope you like it. 

Yesterday I dropped my dad and Sophia of to work, and then when we came back I had breakfast and had my meeting with the rest of the year sevens and Mr Mitchell. After  I finished that meeting I played with my toys in my room, and then I played outside for a bit and then came inside. But then I had to come inside because I had another meeting. When that meeting was over I had to do some mathletics before my dad got home, and when I was finished I went outside with my brother and he accidentally kicked the rugby ball over the fence but he made me go and get the rugby ball, but then he told me to stay where I was and so we kicked the ball over to each other, I just got bored and wanted to came back but he kicked the ball over one more time, so I had to go and get it and he also threw the tennis ball over and it hit my ankle but it wasn't sore though. When we came back over we both went inside. But he had to go and pick up Sophia from work then I brought in the washing and folded some of it and vacuumed the house and wiped the skirting boards.

Today was the first day of level three, so I dropped dad and Sophia off to their work place, before we came back we had maccas we got the same thing which was the big mac combo. After I finished eating I had a Hurumanu meeting with the other year sevens and Mr Mitchell,

After we finished I took the plants outside and got the sprinkler and watered them down. When we finished the next meeting I had lunch, and my mum helped me with my homework about a menu for breakfast lunch and dinner. Then I brought the plants in, and then my mum helped me plan this story that I am making.Then I checked out coopers blog post.Then after I finished I went outside to workout with my older brother Qwayan   

Anzac day

This is a photo of Caesar he was a dog in the world war.

Today I was learning about Anzac day, what is Anzac day,  Anzac day is we we all come together and remember all the soldiers that went to war and died. I learnt that the army used animals like dogs cats donkeys horses homing pigeons. The homing pigeons were used to send messages, dogs were used to find injured soldiers in the no mans trench, cats were used to kill rats, donkeys were used to carry water and resources, horses were used for the Calvary the Calvary are the soldiers that rode on the horses, but some animals were used as mascots. Mascots are animals or something that represents a team or something they were used for keeping the soldiers company and it was also said that mascots are for good luck.Some young men were exited to go to war because they were going to travel around the world, some people lied about their age so they can go to war and some of them were only fifteen.Also over eight hundred New Zealand soldiers died in one day.

Today I watched black panther while I ate breakfast then after I finished  I read a book to my dad while he had a coffee and egg sandwich. When I finished reading to him we went outside and played golf and passed the rugby ball around and had a basketball challenge to see who could get more points. After we came back inside I had a triple peanut butter sandwich. After I was finished I watched this new Michael Jordan documentary but there was only two episodes but there are new ones coming soon, so  I did some workouts with my brother then, I watched Johnny English after that I had a nice shower then I played golf again with my brother this.
