😘Blog Commenting - Aletheia!😘

😘Blog Commenting - Aletheia!😘
Kia Ora and welcome to my blog! Today I will be posting a blog commenting post! Today's version is... ALETHEIA!!! 

This is the 3rd/2nd time I have blog commented on Aletheias blog but instead of a Thoughtful and Helpful comment, this time it will be a Positive comment! The blog of hers that I will be commenting on is her Not Coming To School post! Here is the comment:
The reason why I commented on Aletheia's blog is because she is one of the people that inspire me to blog! Her blogging keeps me on the right track in blogging and helps me have the courage to blog! I am really sad that she is sick but I hope she gets better soon!
-------------------------------------------
Question of the blog: Have you ever been sick like Aletheia is?
Thank you for reading this blog! Make sure to check out Aletheias blog @ tpsaletheia.blogspot.com! Bye :)

💕Cousins Birthday Tomorrow!💕

💕Cousins Birthday Tomorrow!💕

Malo e Lelei and welcome to my blog! Tomorrow, Saturday 28th is my cousins first birthday! Her name is Mahola JR which I personally think is a beautiful name! 
Her dad is my dad's cousin which is how we are related! :) Tomorrow we will be going to Chipmunks in Pakuranga to celebrate her birthday and today we got her a gift which was clothes!
I am looking forward to go to this birthday party but since me and my little brother are not quite familiar with some of the kids that will be there, we will be allowed to bring one of our cousins along with us! My dad is the MC (person who will be speaking on the mic) which means we definitely have to go!
-----------------------------------------------
Question of the blog: Have you ever been to the Chipmunks in Pakuranga? If not do you want to go?
Thank you for reading this blog! Make sure to give me some feedback and feedforward! Bye :)

🌧️Cyclones - Definition, Causes & Effects!🌧️

🌧️Cyclones - Definition, Causes & Effects!🌧️
WALT: Use our Analysing skills to select key information to summarise the cause and effects of a natural disaster!
Kia Ora and welcome to my blog! Today for Reading with Ms Aireen, we finished our Jigsaw activity! Part of this activity was to write a summary! This summary includes the Definition of your Natural Disaster, the Causes of the Natural Disaster and the Effects of the Natural Disaster! The Natural Disaster I chose to write about was the Cyclone! Enjoy reading -
Image result for cyclone
Definition - A Cyclone is a storm/Natural Disaster that is an event that happens which causes life loss and damage. It is a storm that contains a heap of wind that it constantly rotates in its area!

Causes - The cause of the Cyclone is when cold air tries to replace the air that is made when the seawater below the surface at the temperature of 27 degrees mix together and make thunderstorms!

When these multiple thunderstorms combine, they create a Tropical Cyclone!

Effects - The effects of this is that the amount of strength the wind has is enough to blow any building down! This can cause damage to many houses, belongings etc. And can also create many life loss in the world!

People become homeless due to the fact that not only did their house get blown off, everyones houses get blown off!

Not only this but trees get blown away which can easily hit someone and knock them unconscious which can drown them.

⛈️How Are People Affected By Natural Disasters?⛈️

⛈️How Are People Affected By Natural Disasters?⛈️
WALT: Brainstorm about how people are affected in Natural Disasters!
Today for Inquiry with Ms Komor we talked about the people and how they are affected/involved in Natural Disasters! We got into groups and Ms Komor gave us a task which was to write down on a piece of calendar paper how people are affected by natural disasters!
Image result for natural disasters
The people on my table or in my group were BiannaKensington and Akanesi!



We watched a video showing us the aftermath of Cyclone Gita in Tonga which was really sad. We watched videos about Earthquakes and also Tsunamis in different countries, from these videos I learned that people have been through Natural Disasters and since they have been through it so many times they know what to do and how to handle it. On the other hand others aren't familiar with how it feels so they weren't sure of what to do!

We also had a brainstorm with a question on it! The question was 'How are people affected by Natural Disasters?' After watching the videos we added information onto the brainstorm! Here is a picture:
I enjoyed today's Inquiry lesson but did not enjoy seeing people get injured by these horrible Natural Disasters! 
----------------------------------------------
Fun fact: Cyclone Gita actually hit my family in Tonga which busted down some of their shelter :(

💻Cybersmart - Reflection!💻
WAL: How to interact online in a POSITIVE, THOUGHTFUL and HELPFUL way!
Malo e Lelei and welcome to my blog! Yesterday and today Kia Manawanui have been doing Cybersmart! We started on a task given to us by Ms Komor! We got given a presentation and we each had a slide on the presentation where we had to comment a HELPFUL, POSITIVE and THOUGHTFUL comments on! We had to comment on three different students/classrooms blog from 3 different schools!
Here is my slide:
I commented on three different students and they are from Pt England, Tamaki Primary and Glen Taylor! Their names are Brooklyn (Year 8 @ Glen Taylor), Sesilia (Year 4 @ Pt England) and Room 7 (Year 5 and 6 class from TPS)
Brooklyn - Girl 2nd right (front)
Room 7 2018!
Room 7 2018
Sesilia
Sesilia
Here are the comments:

I really liked doing this activity because it helped me get to see other students from other schools blog! One thing I found challenging was coming up with a comment because all of the blogs I commented on were GREAT! My next goal is to not only do Blog Commenting posts on students just from TPS but also on students from different schools!

Inquiry - Natural Disasters Reflection!

Inquiry - Natural Disasters Reflection!
Talofa Lava and welcome to my blog! Yesterday for Inquiry we got given a task to do! Ms Komor shared with us a presentation that had some information about the different types of natural disasters! Part of this task was to make a definition of a natural disaster that you have chosen! The Natural Disaster I chose to do was a TORNADO! Others chose to do a Tornado to so it was better for myself and my learning to ask for help etc.
Image result for natural disasters
In this presentation we had a slide where we had to use different websites to help us identify at least 5 different types of natural disasters and to describe at least 2 different effects from each of them! Here is what I had:

There are many different natural disasters. Earthquakes, Tornadoes, Volcanic eruptions, Tsunamis and Hurricanes are 5 of them!
Earthquake - Because of the Earthquake people’s belongings get broken due to the Earth shaking! They also lose family members as some things like the house collapse while some family members are inside.
Tornado - Tornadoes have a really big affect on people’s lives when they go through it! It can pick up anything and everything that gets in its way! These things include: Houses, Animals, People, and many, many things! People can lose their lives and belongings in this Tornado!
Volcanic Eruptions - Volcanic Eruptions is something no one can survive (unless you’re far away of course)! The HOT LAVA can burn you even by one little tap! It can kill you if you get caught up in it which means you will be burned to death!
Tsunami - A Tsunami is a big heap of water that drowns many, many people! It can cause floods and also damage to environment! Not only does it affect us humans it also affects animals and their health! Some animals do not know how to swim which is really sad!

Hurricanes - Hurricanes consist of wind, really strong wind and heaps of water! It knocks out many houses and also floods out many streets! It can take many peoples lives which is really heartbreaking!

That's what I wrote for the explore part! We also had to make our own definition of what a Natural Disaster is! Here is my definition:
A Tornado is a heap of wind that violently rotates in the area it started!

😋Maths!😋

😋Maths!😋
IALT: reflect on what we done in Maths yesterday!
Talofa Lava and welcome to my blog! This blog is going to be a reflection about yesterday's Math lesson! I'm a bit late because I didn't really have time to finish my reflection but I did today! I made a DLO showing my reflection! I hope you enjoy reading!
Question of the blog: What have you been learning in Maths this term?
Thank you for reading this blog! Make sure to give me some feedback and feedforward when you can! Malo Aupito, Bye :)

😄Maths Lesson Today!😄

😄Maths Lesson Today!😄
Kia Ora and welcome to my blog! Today in the last block we had Maths with Ms Komor! Like yesterday we played some Maths game today! I played with the people at my table which were Toma, Patience and Demetrious! 





Everyone had different activities, there were Multiplication activities, Division activities, Halves and doubles activities and many more! The Maths activity we played was Decimal Cards! The way this game worked was we all had a set of cards that said, "I have ________" "Who has _______" So for example if I said, "Who has 1/4 of 24?" and Toma had it he would say, "I have 6, who has _____" so on and so on!

At first we did not get the game and we just wanted to do a Multiplication game but we didn't give up so we asked Sam for some help! Sam said he would look at the cards while we play a different game but then he changed his mind and offered us some help! Sam showed us different ways of how to change a Fraction into a Decimal and how to change a Decimal into a Fraction! His help was really helpful and by the end of this lesson me and Toma learned how to change a Fraction into a Decimal and a Decimal into a Fraction!


Not only did we learn about that we also learned how to find a Decimal of a whole number! For example 'What is 0.1 of 400?' The answer is 40. The way we got this was by figuring out how many 1's could fit into 10 which equals 10 and after that we had to divide. We went 400 divided by 10 = 40 which is how we got the answer!

We went through some questions and me and Toma really enjoyed doing it! We enjoyed getting to not only take responsibility for our learning by asking Sam for help but by being able to give it a try instead of just give up!

Natural Disasters Research - Tornado

Natural Disasters Research - Tornado
WALT: research about natural disasters!
Kia Ora and welcome to my blog! Today for inquiry the Kia Manawanui syndicate done some researching about Natural Disasters! I chose to research about one natural disaster individually and that natural disaster is... TORNADOES!!! The reason why I chose Tornadoes is because I think it has a unique side to it!
Image result for natural disasters
I don't know much about Tornadoes which is why I wanted to research about it! All I know is that it is a heap of wind that is like a magnet that consistently picks things up as it spins around!

Here are some questions that I will be answering:
- What is a natural disaster?
- How does it happen?
- Where do Tornadoes happen?
- Why does it happen?
- Why doesn't it happen?
- Who is affected by Tornadoes (Natural Disasters)?
- How does it affect them? 



After my research, I found out that a natural disaster is an event that naturally happens caused by the Earth's movement and also by the way us humans contribute to it happening!
Examples
Earthquakes
Tsunamis
Hurricanes
Tornadoes
Volcanic Eruptions
Landslides
And many more
It is something that causes great damage and also life loss!
Natural disasters are split into 3 different large groups! Here is one of them, it is called 'Weather related Disasters!' This means that natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes and extreme heat and extreme cold cannot be stopped because there is unpredictable weather!
Image result for bad weather
Most Tornadoes are known to happen in the central area of the United States! Did you know that people call this area 'Tornado Alley'?
It happens when the warm, moist air from Gulf of Mexico meets the cool, dry air from Canada! When these two different masses of air meet they create a very huge heap of wind that swirls around in the atmosphere! When these two different airs keep away from each other, a tornado is something that you would avoid in your area!

Many, many people are affected by Natural Disasters, especially Tornadoes! The way this affects them is, a Tornado is like a magnet picking things up as it spins around the atmosphere! These include:
- Houses
- Cars
- People
- Animals
- Objects
And anything that gets in it's way! It is really, really heartbreaking to see people witness a Tornado especially if they lose family members and when they lose belongings etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question of the blog: How would you feel if you witnessed a tornado?
I think if I done this research again I would fix the amount of information I wrote! I think I could make it short and simple but i'm happy with the way I added lots of detail to make my work upto standards!

This is my research! I hope you have enjoyed reading it and I hope you learned something from it! Make sure to give me some POSITIVE feedback and feedforward! Bye :)

☹️Power Cut Last Night!☹️

☹️Power Cut Last Night!☹️
Good Morning and welcome to my blog! Today I will be talking about how we had a power cut last night!
Image result for power cut clipart

After my shower I started to do my homework. I was talking to my friends and watching my brother play Fortnite until suddenly, everything turned off! It was about 4:59 when the power went off and we were all shocked! My dad looked outside and noticed not much houses had power either so my mum tried to call the Power company but still no answer!
Image result for power cut clipart
I was quite sad because I didn't have internet to blog! We were told that almost all houses up to Tamaki College had no power which was really mind blowing. We assumed someone had hit a pole and had shut all of the power off or something! We didn't do much, my mum and dad talked while me and my little brother played games on my phone! It was quite fun for something quite boring! My little brother kept on complaining which made me really annoyed!
Image result for annoyed emoji
It got to 5:00 and we were still waiting! Lucky we had telephone flashlights and also torches to help us see because it was getting really DARK! My little brother would get scared if my mum and dad left the room and I went to my room! I was laughing so hard I started crying! I kept on teasing him by flashing the light on him and then turning it off, I almost got in trouble but it was worth it!
Image result for getting in trouble clipart

It hit 7:00 and we were all hungry and bored so me and my mum went to get me and my little brother some dinner! As we were going to Panmure, everything was shutdown! Nobody had any power and the ATM was closed so we had to go to GI to get the money! My aunt rang my mum and asked if she could borrow some money, we told her to wait at the GI McDonald's and we would bring it to her. We gave her the money and went through to the drive through!
Image result for mcdonalds
As we drove home from McDonald's, it was so dark! Even our school power was off! It was so dark but lucky there was cars around so we could still have light! After we ate, it was about 8:25 my mum was sitting down on her phone! This was the funny part about this power cut because when she stood up to get the torch the power turned on! It was so funny because I said, "Wows mum, you have the magic touch!" My little brother turned around and said, "No she has the curse, if she had stood up ages ago, maybe we would've had power!" We all started laughing, it was so HILARIOUS!
Image result for laughing emoji

Fun Fact: My battery was on 20% when the power cut off and when the power came back on it was on 5%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I enjoyed the power cut because I was able to spend time with my family with out phones and without digital devices but I was able to communicate with them physically, mentally and in real life! I hope you enjoyed reading this blog! Make sure to give me some positive feedback and feedforward for my future! Bye :)
