In the morning on the 22nd of october 2019 Room 7 played a game called alphabet challenge game.


In the morning I came into school late but I woke up early and I was running late because I live far away. I came to school and room 7 was playing the alphabet game I came into class and miss ashley explained the rules to me and we were on the 2nd round and the topic was movie titles.


There were alphabet letters on paper going down and then we had to write the names that start with that letter and we could skip letters there were lots of yelling. My buddy’s were fereti and mathew we had a lot of movie titles and we came 6th place we got 10 points.


All the other teams did very good after the game we had to write about what happened after that we had to have morning tea at school and I don’t have much stuff for lunch but it is very very good/tasty/yummy and very nice.



My favorite part or topic was the movie colum because I love to watch movies also my favorite letter was f because my favorite movie is fast and Furious. and I have seen the new fast and Furious it is called hobbs and shaw and it is my favorite movie.


I went to go and watch the new fast and Furious with my dad on the holidays because my dad lives in taranaki waitara we went to the cinemas.

Rakel's puzzle game information

On thursday the 17th of october 2019 Room 7 played a puzzle game called wasgij.
Miss ashley explained the rules there had to be four groups and each group gets a jigsaw puzzle and tries to complete it then if you complete the first one you get one more. Whichever group finishes two then they have to go and help another group.
It took so long we start school at 9:00 and we finished the jigsaw puzzle at 10:05 then we started to write about the jigsaw game. I didn’t play because I came late and I didn’t want to go into any of the groups.
My friend joshua said to me “come and play the jigsaw game” and I replied “nah I am not good at puzzles” and he explained “who cares just come and play” but I said “no thanks”.
My favorite part was when my friend joshua won the game.

On wednesday the 16th of october 2019 room 7 played a game called crip donut miss ashley Annoyance the rules. “ We had to get into buddy's one buddy is in the middle and one other buddy had to go on the outside and make a donut shape’’ miss ashley would come around and give us cards my buddy was my 2nd best friend joshua we always be buddy’s on the cards were would you rather cards the outside of the circle had to rotate in circles to the left the inside of the donut had to tell the outside there question first.
My first person was Joshua and his question was “if you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?”. I replied “new York because that has always been my dream to see famous singers”. And my question was “would you rather hold a snake or a frog?” and his answer was a frog.
“Why?”
“because the snake might bite me”.
My second person was lily and her question was “If you could get any superpower in the world what would it be I laughed and explained flying superpower because I could fly around the world and travel and another reason was that I would never be late for school again”.

I replied to his question is would you rather hold a snake or a frog he laughed and said “I would rather hold a snake because I love snakes”.
My fourth person was fereti his question was “would you rather fly or have super strength?”

“super strength because I could be able to lift anything”.

Rakel's writing about ako afternoon

Yesterday afternoon Tamaki primary had a ako afternoon. Ako afternoon is a project event that you have to create a project like room 7 created a diorama project it we did the rainforest, deserts, woodlands, and also the arctic. Other people came to our class to look at our dioramas and I am sure that they learnt a thing or two about that habitats that we did our dioramas. On and my class and the other classes asked a lot of questions then after the classes came to our class we went to other peoples classes and we did lots of stuff. In room 3 we learnt how to plant seeds in a cup we could choose to plant a sunflower, garlic and also a tomato I chose a sunflower and we went outside to the garden to find some soil. Then we put the soil in the cup then we made a hole with our gloves then we put the seed in then buried it in the soil then we watered it then we went back to class and we put it on the window.

dinosaur knowledge

Room 7
Dinosaur knowledge
Prior Knowledge
In 2 weeks, we learnt that...
Animal
Predator
Dino is the root word
‘Saurs’ means something
Species
Extinct
Huge
Large bones
Long necks
Eggs
Sharp teeth
Long tails
Eat people
Different kinds
Spikes
Horns
Mammals
4 legs

Bipedal means 2 feet and quadruped means 4 feet. Some dinosaurs are bipedal and some are quadrupeds. Some can change between the two stances. They are sturdy. 

Theropod is a 3 clawed dinosaurs
Dinosaurs are warm-blooded, which means their blood temperature is always the same
Carnivore means a meat eater
Herbivore means a plant eater
Omnivore means it can eat plants and meat
Some dinosaurs are huge and some are small. Typically, huge dinosaurs were sluggish (slow).
Dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago. They started existed 230 million years.
They died because of an extinction event, most people think this was because a meteor hit the Earth.
Dinosaurs legs go out the bottom of their hip bones, whereas reptiles bones go to the side of their hips. Reptiles do not have an extra hole in their skull, but dinosaurs do.
Mary Anning found lots of fossils on a cliffside in England in the 19th century. She was born in 1799 and died in 1847. She survived a lightning strike as a baby. In 1824 she found the first fossil.
Non-avian dinosaurs are dinosaurs that are not birds. Avian means birds.
Metabolism means how fast or slow your body converts food into energy
Diverse means a big range
Modifications means changes. Dinosaurs have modifications such as spikes, armour, horns or crests.
Clade means family.
Lineage means ancestors/descendants
Paleontologists are scientists that study ancient things including dinosaurs
There are 4 main groups of dinosaurs; theropods, sauropods, ankylosaurus and pterosaurs.
Titanoboa was top of the food chain after the dinosaurs died. It killed people by constricting people. It spent most of its time in the water because it was super heavy. It was 13m long, as big as a bus.
Hominids existed when 7-6 million years ago, the first humans to walk on 2 feet.
People did not exist when dinosaurs existed. 

Adaptation is something that changes over time. 

Ecology - how animals relate to each other 

Fossils are made when dinosaurs die and their bones get trapped in rock or mud. The bones break down over time but leave a mould, which is filled with rock. This becomes the fossil.
Dinosaurs sometimes eat each other.
There were 3 periods of time that have dinosaurs. This is called the ‘age of dinosaurs’ also known as the ‘Mesozoic Era’; Triassic period, Jurassic period, and Cretasous period.
Then there were 3 more periods in time, “Age of mammals”, also known as ‘Cenozoic Era’; Paleogene Period, Neogene period and Quaternary period.
Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent, including Antarctica.
Joan Wiffen found the first dinosaur fossil (a theropods tailbone) in NZ in 1975, in Hawkes Bay. She died in 2009.
Dinosaurs laid eggs and they lived in family groups.

Rakel and Micheal's writing

Once upon a time there was a Guy/Hunter called Steve Rogers. He was hunting for a Tiger in the Rainforest so he can get a nice dinner for his Family.
He found a Tiger in the meadow, he stalked it until he found that he was being watched by the tiger so he took a shot but he missed. Then the tiger chased him so he pulls out his minigun and starts to blast the tiger with reds. After a little bit he runs out of bullets but luckily it was weak. So he got his knife and stabbed it.
Then he took it home and cook a little bit of it because it was too big for his family to eat so he put some in the fridge for lunch and dinner. Before he went to get the tiger he went to go and get some water so his family can have something to eat.

rakel's narrative writing

Once upon a time there was a Grizzly bear and a Fox and also a Wolf the bear was getting very hungry so the Grizzly bear chased the Fox. Then the Fox’s friend the wolf came out and howled at the Grizzly bear and said “ leave my friend alone or we will both knock you out “. They Challenged the Grizzly bear to a fight in the forest at noon by the little river. They meet up at noon in the river so they started to fight but the wolf and the fox won so he said they won so then he went home and the fox and wolf went home celebrating that they won.

mnemonic

New words from reading
Tuesday 23rd July 2019
Big idea: within each kingdom there are more different groups that classify animals.
Prokaryotes - a name of a kingdom
Etc means etcetera
Interbreed - when two different animals have babies together
Mnemonics help us remember hard things, for example NEVER EAT SOGGY WEETBIX helps us remember North East South West.
This is the mnemonic i learnt to help me remember the order:
Type here keep placing cake orders for good students.
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus

Species

animal kingdoms

New words from animal kingdom reading
Monday’s reading
Organism - a living thing
Vertebrate - has a spine
Invertebrate - has no spine
Taxonomy - a way to group things
Diverse - a big range
Amphibians -
Heterotrophic - means they must find and eat food
Primates (apes, monkeys)
Rodents (rats, squirrels)
Cetaceans (dolphins, whales)
Marsupials (kangaroos, koalas)
Monotremes (egg laying mammals like the platypus)
Autotrophic - make their own food by photosynthesis
Photosynthesis - how plants make their own food
Vascular - uses roots to absorb water
Nonvascular - uses the whole plant to absorb water
Decompose, decomposition - to break down
Non-flowering - no flowers
Thermophiles - (root word is thermo which is about temperature)
Big ideas from the reading
All living things are called organisms.
They are organised into 6 groups called kingdoms. Each group has certain characteristics that each organism must have.
Animals
Can move on their own
Are heterotrophic (can’t make their own food)
Must eat to survive
Vertebrates and invertebrates
Plants
They are Autotrophic (they make their own food)
Some are vascular and nonvascular.
If a plant has seeds or fruit, it is a flowering plant.
Eubacteria
Are made up of just one cell. They are everywhere. Some bacteria are good and some are bad.
Bacteria called decomposers break down dead plants and anacteria.
Archaebacteria
Can survive where no other organism can live.
Thermophiles, methanogens and halophiles
Fungi
Say it fun guy
Mushrooms are a fungi
They are heterotrophic (can’a make their own food)
Use enzymes to break down food 

Protista
Are related to either plants, animals or fungi (one of them, not related to all of them at the same time)

parihaka

First we remembered everything we could from last week.

Last week we learnt that there was something called the New Zealand Land Wars that happened between 1845-1872. It was all about who controlled the land in NZ. It was complicated because some land was traded fairly and some was taken. The wars were imbalanced (unfair) because the Europeans had more manpower (people), and a higher quantity and quality of weapons (more of them and better ones). The Maoris were outnumbered so they had to use secret plans and some guerilla warfare tactics in order to fight back.
The big idea about this is that the two groups of people viewed the land differently - Maori’s held a collectivist viewpoint, where land and other resources (oceans, fish, forests) should be cared for and shared by everyone. Europeans held an individualistic viewpoint, and wanted to own the land in order to have farms and make money. Even today there viewpoints cause conflict around the world.
Parihaka
Our first questions -
Junefia - What does Parihaka mean?
Parihaka means it is the name of their village or their place.
Marlene - why did the people send the kids out?
They didn't want them to get hert.
Dyzon - why were the two guys sent to prison for 16 months?
Te whiti and his friend tohu went to jail cause the europeans thought that if they take the leaders of the tribe they all would run away, but they didn’t.
Marilyn - why was the village surrounded by soldiers?
Lynch - what people left the land that Parihaka was built on? (Who was there before them?) There was a Maori tribe that lived there but we don’t know who. They got sent off the land by the government and the land was claimed for Europeans but they didn’t build on it for ten years.
Garth - why did Te Whiti go to jail?
Te Whiti was sent to jail because he was the leader of the Maoris and the Pakehas wanted the land back to make farms. But when he was in jail, his people were scared but did not run away from the land. They protected it.
Anittah - was there a reason Why all the Maori men went to jail?
So when the men go the Children and the ladies will get scared and leave.
Ana - why were the protectors put in jail?
The government put the mens in jail so they could scare the womens and children away and they could take the land back, but they didn’t run away they protected the land.
Maria - why did the government promise the people land?
So the government promised to them a piece of land for them to live on. And in ten years no one claim to live on the land so they built a new village called Parihaka.
Moana - why did 200 children block the road?
Because the europeans did not want them to get harmed or killed them. 

Wesley - does Parihaka still exist?
Yes the Parihaka village still exist and Maori people still live there and honour the history
Tisharn - why was Parihaka famous?
Because he was a peaceful man and he taught it to a lot of the maori.
Angellynah - why did the soldiers burn the peoples houses down and destroy their crops?
Cause they soldiers thought that the land was theirs and they wanted to get off the land.
Michael - How was the government able to keep Te Whiti and Tohu for 16 months without a trial?? The government was made up of Europeans so they had control. There was no Maoris in the government to defend Te Whiti and Tohu, so they just did what they wanted.
Tsai - Why did the Europeans want the land?
Because they were jalless that the maori had land and the parihaka did not. They wanted to make farms.
Joshua/Rakel - why did the Maori people build their new village at Parihaka?
They built land because the europeans government didn't give them land so they had to build some new land and they called it parihaka and their leader was called te whiti.
Janett - Why did the government let the men go out of jail?
Because the jail have to many parihaka mens in the jail and the they set them free.
Langiola - Why did the people offer the soldiers 500 loaves of bread?
So there kids can survie and themselves because there in a war so the can fight people to. They have to be full with food so they cant die cause they have to protect people that are in danger and not make themselves or anyone, else stave because together we are strong we are family because we all love each other so much.
Mathew - Why is this story famous in NZ?
The Maoris were peaceful.
Litia - Why was Te Whiti preaching to the people? What was he preaching about?
He was preaching by peace. Cause he wanted to make people peace full like how he is.
Rona - What happened at the end of the story? What did the people of Parihaka do?
Founded in the mid-1860s, Parihaka was soon attracting dispossessed and disillusioned Māori from around the country.

Miss Ashley - where is the village of Parihaka? Where were the prisons kept?

The village of Parihaka is near the coast by Taranaki. The prisoners from Parihaka were sent to jails in different places all over NZ. The most famous one was in Dunedin, and it was pretty much a cave. The men were kept in caves without trial. When they were released they went ship back to Taranaki.

Big ideas -

• Maori were peaceful!
• Europeans wanted land to make farms.
• Maori were kind and offered the soldiers food.
• The government promised them land, but they never gave it.
•
