Dear diary, My holidays

Dear diary,

These holidays I went to the museum with my mum three days after Easter, we were only planning to go to the origins section but we saw at the entry that they were doing a Easter egg hunt and we got chosen then we would get a hamper of chocolate, so we gabbed two fliers (For luck) and set of to find the eggs. one egg was in stories of Auckland another was in origins and some were in Asian culture. when we found all the letter’s we sorted them to make a word, (I forgot what it said) and then we put the fliers in a box where they would collect them. After that we went to the gift shop so my mum could look at some rings. while she was looking I was begging to get a toy shark but I never got it :(.

whakatauki

Task Description: This term in extension we were finding random whakatauki’s, going onto adobe express and asking it to make three images. The first one is supposed to be just the whakatauki by itself, the second is ment to be more in depth and the last is a real life example. I hope you understand what is going on, Thank you hope you like them.

Subtracting

Task Description: This week we are learning to subtract numbers while using different strategies, and I think that I  pretty well with that. I learnt that subtracting wasn’t as hard as I thought, knowing this helped me understand math a little bit more and over all I enjoyed this a lot. Thanks for reading my blog, hope you liked it.

Dawn parade questions

Task Description: This week I had to read a text about “ANZAC day” and its called the “Dawn parade” after reading the text I had to answer some questions about the book and then blog it so here it is.

 

  • How does the fact that the story begins when it’s “very dark” and the house is “quiet” contribute to the overall mood?
    a) It creates a feeling of excitement and anticipation.
    b) It establishes a sense of peace and tranquillity.
    c) It sets a sombre and respectful tone.
    d) It makes the story feel suspenseful and mysterious.

  • Why does Leo ask his dad if it’s far to the war memorial?
    →just in case he gets tired or misses the dawn parade.

  • 3. How does the text describe the people waiting at the war memorial?
    a) They are cheering and talking loudly.
    b) They are impatient and restless.
    c) They are silent and respectful.
    d) They are singing songs together.

  • What does the woman with the gold chain do at the ceremony?
    a) She reads a poem.
    b) She gives a speech.
    c) She plays a bugle.
    d) She lays a wreath of flowers.
     
  • Why do people sing the national anthem at the end of the dawn parade?
    →So they can remember the people that have passed.

  • What is the significance of the poppies placed at the memorial?
    a) They are a symbol of victory and celebration.
    b) They represent hope for a peaceful future.
    c) They honour the people who died in wars.
    d) They are just a decorative flower.

  • Why does Leo say he hopes “no one else dies in wars”?
    → So no more people lose their loved ones.

  • What does the rising sun at the end of the story symbolise?
    →I think it symbolises a great ending.

  • Besides the information in the story, what can you infer about Dad’s character?
    → I think that the character, Dad, is a very respectable man and he is very kind and he is very strong in his words and sounds like he lost someone in the war like a grandad or grandma.
     

Why do you think dawn parades are important?
→ I think that they are important because they remind the ones that lost their loved ones that they’ll always be in their heart and know they’re safe.

A problem that drones can fix

Task Description: This term I and the rest of my class were trying to find some problem’s in life individually. I thought that people have hard times painting big tall buildings so I said that drones could go to the place that you want it to go and in one hand it has a paint bucket and in the other a roller brush.
