My time at Camp! [repost]

For writing we had to make a reflection about how we showed the 6 c's during the camp experience. The 6 c's are: collaboration, creativity, communication, critical thinking, character, and global citizenship! Camp was really fun and I would do it again if I could. Here is my work!

How to tie a tie

For writing we had to make instructions on anything we wanted. The instructions needed to have no more than 150 words and 8 steps. I decided to make instructions on how to tie a tie, specifically a "full windsor" knot. Here is my create!

My Haiku!

 For writing we have learning about poetry. We had 4 types of poems to choose from, a haiku, rhymed poetry, riddle poem, and a shape poem. I chose to do a haiku. My genre for my haiku was football/soccer. Here is my haiku.

What's your favorite type of poem?

speech

For writing the teacher paired us up and we had to write comments/feedback on each others speech. Here is the feedback that I have gotten on my speech.

The lighter red highlight is what I added to my conclusion:

"There is no clear answer to this question because the way one would answer this question depends on what kind of person they are. For example, some people might find peace and happiness if they had enough discretionary income to do whatever they want. On the other hand, others might believe that there are more important things in life such as living in a safe location and having good relationships with friends and family members, but at the end of the day, the amount of money you have won’t matter. “Money is not everything in life. "Some believe no relationship is possible without money but no amount of money can buy love or happiness” Quote by Chitra Withane. Does money buy you happiness?"

Money Can't Buy Happiness

Natalie T -  Persuasive Text; For

Money Can’t Buy Happiness 

Introduction:

Money can't buy happiness, but it can improve the things that make us happy.

It is a common saying that money can't buy happiness. What does this really mean? It means that you don't need to be rich in order to have a good life and experience joy. 

Paragraph 1:

As my first statement, if anything, having more money just brings more responsibility and stress instead of happiness. The expression also means that you don’t need luxurious items in order to feel happy: simple things like nature, family time and hobbies are likely to make you happy without any extra effort or expense on your part.

Paragraph 2:

Secondly, money isn’t always the key to happiness. I have done research and found many studies that have been done to see if there is a correlation between wealth and happiness. One study of 26 countries found that people who live in wealthier countries tend to be happier than those who live in poorer countries. The study also found similar results when looking at people within each country, regardless of how wealthy the country was overall.

Paragraph 3:

To sum up what has been said so far, money can't buy happiness, but obviously it can make life easier. With money, we are able to get things like food and water. But in the end, these things are not going to be what we will remember when we think back on our lives, it’ll be the happy moments in life, like the ones we achieve without money, like the moments with family or friends.

Conclusion:

There is no clear answer to this question because the way one would answer this question depends on what kind of person they are. For example, some people might find peace and happiness if they had enough discretionary income to do whatever they want. On the other hand, others might believe that there are more important things in life such as living in a safe location and having good relationships with friends and family members, but at the end of the day, the amount of money you have won’t matter. “Money can’t buy happiness” Quote by Howard Hughes.

Poetry Writing!

For writing I had to make a poem based on public places, buildings, and people in Ōtautahi. And we had to mention the Ngāi Tahu tribe at least once in the poem. We had to make a free verse poem. Here is my poem!

term 2 week 8; reading

The goal/task for this week was to learn how to write a proper email. I have made a google slide presentation saying what you should put in an email. I have also added a tiny metaphor into the slide -- Here is the presentation, you just have to click the slide to start it.

term 2 week 8; math

This week for numeracy I made a screencastify! I made the screencastify about how to round decimals to the nearest whole number! If you don't know what a decimal is then here is an example of one -> 124.9 or 312.3,  it doesn't have to be that exact pattern of numbers though.  Here is the link to the screencastify (there's no sound).

Question: Are you able to answer these decimals?
1. 573.8=?
2. 962.1=?
3. 76.4=?
4. 111.1=?
5. 6969.14623=?

Can you do it?
