This week we did a task named Auckland volcanoes.
Some volcano names are Puketāpapa, Pukewiwi means Mt Roskill, Maungarei means Mt Willington and Rarotonga means Mt Smart.
The second activity was the weather sheet where we had to look up the weather from the Maori dictionary. For example He kapua means cloudy and he paki means sunny.
This week for SSR Selfie I read a book called "Don't wake the dinosaur".
The first questions were: What was the book called, Who's the author and who are the main characters. These questions were easy. After doing that I read the book for 15 minutes because I knew the next questions were a little harder.
After reading the book for 15 minutes, I was ready to answer the other questions. The other questions were actually kind of easy.
I enjoyed reading this book.
Today at touch rugby we learned two basic skills from last week. The two skills that we learn was the two man settle and three man settle.
Then we played a game of touch. The aim of this game was to use three man settle and two man settle, two man settle and three man settle helps gaining meters.
I found it easy because I already knew two of the skills.
This week we tried to find the average group score on Athletics day. This inculeded statistics.
When adding data use multipliation and addtion because these made it easier to solve the equations.
If a data set was like this: 2+3+3+2+1+3+4+2, we could make it easier to solve this equation by doing this:(4x1)+(3x3)+(2x2)+(1x1) instead. We add up all of the totals and it equaled 18. This strategy is quicker than repeated addition because instead of adding up the numbers individually, you can add them up all at once.
A storyboard is images displayed in a sequence that shows the characters movments, the camera angles, and the story settings.
The images should show enough detail so the reader can know where the setting is without someone telling them. People film it on different angles and show the emotions on the characters face to make it more interesting.
A storyboard are different scenes in the narrative. People add a little sentence to give it more detail if the picture dosen't have enought detail. A person who draws a storyboard knows if he did a good job when someone can tell where the setting is without someone telling them.
There are no words in the image because the main ideas is to show the setting, the angles of the camera, and the characters.
Knowing how to write a storyboard is important part because it can help the actors understand how it flows. Storyboards help people visualise the people's surroundings and enviroment.

A comment thread is conversation that consists of a greeting, good feedback and a question. Open questions can expand the length of the conversation and give the readers more to think about when answering.
This conversation was on a math blog post made by Marawan.

This week we went to the Hoyts Sylvia Park movie theater where the 13th Manaiakalani film festival was held at. After everyone waiting patiently for the other schools we quickly got in our seats.
The first film was our one. It was about Farzana not sanitizing her hands and everyone running away from her.
My favorite film was the tribute to essential workers one because it was really funny and I liked their choice of music.
I enjoyed watching other schools films because they were so creative.
This week I took the speed demon. I decided to do addition and subtraction.
Once I was finished answering the equations my time at was 3 minutes and 52 seconds. My time was really slow but I think I can do better.
I found answering the questions kind of hard because there were a lot of them.
This week, we translated names from Te Reo Maori to English.
Screenplays are scripts that are converted into parts only. Screenplays can give some descriptions on how actors should speak and it can also give more detail.
A screenplay sceen number should be in all caps. The name also is should be in caps and center aligned. If there is any extra information people would put it in brackets under their name.
The actors line is usally center aligned under their name. The lines don't need speech marks because it could help what tone to use.
Knowing how to write a screenplay is importaint, because if an actor dosn't get their line the movie might be bad.

This week for maths we had to buddy up with a person and tell each other what we learnt from last week.
My buddy showed me a slide about currency and taught me about it. The money that we use in New Zealand is 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 dollar, 2 dollar, 10 dollars, 20 dollars, 50 dollars and 100 dollars and the money that we used to have are 5 cents.
Money can be used in different ways like if I got a drink and some lollies from the shop and the drink and the lollies will of costed 3.20 because the drink costed 1.50 and the lollies costed 1.70. To figure out how much it costed you have to split up the numbers and when your done doing that you can add them up like this: 1+1 dollars equal 2 dollars 50+70 cents equals 120 cents but take away the one hundered because you cant go past one hundered so add the 1 from the 120 with the 2 dollars because its a one, then that will be 3 dollars and 20 cents.
I think my teaching experience was a 9 out of 10 because I think I did a good job teaching my partners the information that they learnt.

This week, our company (Life Savers) brainstormed ideas for an emergency shelter design. We needed to think of the structural shape and design of the emergency shelter. We also needed to think about what our shelter will be designed to resist.First, we sketched on a piece of paper of what shape we're doing for our emergency shelter, and my group picked a triangle. This is because a triangle have sharp points and it can make things slide down from it
Next we used a software called sketchup to make a 3d design of our shelter. Sketchup is a program that allows people to design and create anything they want in three dimensions.
We decided to make the shelter out of tungsten because it is strong and brick because it is thick. We think these are suitable materials for water and wind natural disasters.
Some changes that we want to make are making the shelter big because it looks small and want to make the inside spacious so that we can put that things we need to survive
The size of the entrance is 2.15 meters and the size of the shelter is 3.45 meters just in case of an emergency. The walls of our shelter are pretty thick because the shelter is made out of tungsten brick. There should be windows so that the people inside the emergency shelter are aware of what is happening and can identify if it is safe to exit the emergency shelter. The windows should be fairly big, about 2 meters so that people can see out of them clearly.
We watched a performance by the Duffy theater group about the Coggen. A Coggen is a mythical creature that is a mixture of a cat, dog and chicken.
Before the show, the actors introduced themselfs. Then we sang the Duffy song.
Then the actors performed for us.
Lastly the Duffy group held a question and answer session.
I enjoyed the performance from the Duffy group.
This week, we translated words from Te Reo Maori to English.
