I did maths like usually, if you want to do maths our want to be suggest a app I would say prototec maths it times but also is really good to see your result at the end.

Writing: For writing I started/finish  my speech for school, I'm hoping to enter a competition for it, but fingers cross it goes well.

Spelling was quite fun because I got most of them wright, and got through my hole tutoring book. :)

For fittness I jogged for 20 min but also walked to the beach with my mum.

Reading Term 3 Week 3 ( inner peace).

 Hi, This week were  understanding/meaning  of inner peace. Inner peace is something inside you and you can find it by doing the things you love. Well, that's for the ones that don't know about inner peace. The first     time I learned about inner peace was when I went to karate. They taught us that inner peace is about believing in yourself and trying your hardest and if you don't sussed try, try again. Here is the things I find fun and peaceful:

Church: To make me feel much  better and to be happy,calm and peaceful and to have faith that things will get better soon.

Nature: To give me fresh and it helps me to calm down.

Choir: It makes me happy when I sing and I enjoy it.

Drama: I can express my emotions and feelings and sometimes tell/feel how others are feeling.

Artistic swimming: I find it great to focus meet people and forget about my feelings.

Swimming: Calms me and I forget about everything and I enjoy it, I find swimming my happy place to just relax and enjoy it.

What brings you inner peace?

Do you prefer money or love? ( Writing W2 T3).

 Hello, this term were focusing on persuasive writing ( "Yes my favorite").

Here is my writing about money can't buy happiness, The name of it is do you prefer money or love?

Money can't buy happiness because happiness isn’t something you can buy. I know that you can go on

a holiday and be happy with all your memories. Also you may not be happy on your holiday without your

family, but that's life. Sometimes you don’t get happiness, usually happiness comes to you.

But if you keep trying to get happiness then I don’t think you can be that happy. 

People say if a poor person had family with them then they would be happy,  if a rich person had no family to love them or care for them, but they have all the money in the world, they would still not be as happy as a poor person that has nothing except family. I agree with that saying because what will help us in the world would be family.

Family is always there for you even if you keep out of touch with them. Why is family important? You may be wondering, or how they can help us to be better people? Well, they always show us love because they care for us and have unconditional love for us.  They have faith in us, because they believe in us and try everything that could help us follow our dream. 

What do you think will bring you happiness, money or love?

So what are you for money or love?

Witch on do you have happiness with Money or love?

Emotional literacy

 Kia ora, today we did a task based on Emotional literacy.  If you are wondering what emotional literacy is here's what google said. 

What exactly is emotional intelligence?

Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the

ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to

relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. ... Social awareness – You have empathy.

I think emotional Literacy is where you express your feeling than bottling them up. Also to tell your friends or family if your having a problem or why your sad.

Here's my create task link to task.    

Do you ask/ help people with your/there emotions?

Reading W8 T2

 Hi this week for Reading We are doing Genre witch means categories/ Types. We have a selection of different articles to choose from.  

Here's what I read.

  Genre: Sport

Article 1. Swimming NZ to send 7 swimmers to Tokyo Olympics 2021.

               I liked reading this article because it's about the people who qualified for swimming in the Olympics in NZ and it's great if we cheer NZ on at the Olympics. I liked how they showed you who is in it and what they will be doing/ qualified at the Olympics this year.

 Genre: Feeling/ Health

Article 2. What is empathy?

 Empathy is important, because if someone hurt there self then you shouldn't laugh at others if they hurt you want to help them and you should feel sad for the person. It's good this articular because it brings self awareness to you or a person that isn't that empathetic or nice. 

 Genre: News/ Health.

Article 3. Wellington Moves to level 2.

It's good if we know news about virus and health news because you can know when and what's happening to the place like Wellington, so we know not to go there in lease if you are trying to get covid- 19  or to stay in wellington for a couple of weeks. News are great for us because we can know what is happening in the world and why.

Did you know about:

Seven swimmers from New Zealand going to the Olympics?

What is empathy?

Wellington is in level 2 now?

The place I’m most connected to My Turangawaewae.

My turangawaewae is a place where I feel like home. It may be rainy and gray but it was a place where I took my first steps to become a responsible person. History is this place's specialty. With queens, castles, The whole country's faith and wars. This country has a lot of culture like the food and dancing and the music may not be the best of music. I am proud to be Scottish in every way.

Were's you're turangawaewae?

Writing & Reading Wk 9 - 10

 Tau Ke,

Today we had to finish our poems about Ōtautahi with our relation with our turangawaewae.

Mine was about how will we did by staying strong from problems throughout Ōtautahi.

Here is my poem:

  Ōtautahi is a place of history 

and kia kaha by staying strong 

Ōtautahi has been through a lot of Disasters

but we have worked together to be a team with Kia kaha

Kia kaha has helped a lot with positivity and braveness for

Ōtautahi
We all have to be strong with Kia kaha and 

Focus on how we can try our best to show

That we are kia kaha.

Do you have kia kaha in you?

This week also for reading was about making a special symbol for Christchurch

Wrting & Reading W8

 Hello, this week for reading and writing we did the learning last week and this week a create.

For writing we were relating our turangawaewae ( Means a place to stand)  so it had to be Christchurch.

I chooses the new church because that's my second place that I feel like I belong.

Here's my new's paper Artical.

The New church in Christchurch city.
The New Cathloic church in the city. 

Photo by a priest & google.
After the earthquake that struck in 2011 the Catholicos sadly lost the church in the city. Finally when Bishop Paul came to be the new Bishop of Christchurch, he had some plans up his sleeve by making the Catholics a new church in the city and making parishes move into other parishes. We finally get a new church after the disappointment on everyone else's faces.  It will hopefully be built soon. We’re in a tricky situation we have to wait until all the seagulls move out of the place they are hoping to put it in. People recan that they would never move, but I guess the catholics will just have to be patient and hopeful with their faith.
Here are a couple of people's opinions. 
Lily Mclaughlin.
Practicing Cathloic.
She thinks that they might move but it’s their home since over the past years.
She likes to go to church, also they try to go every sunday to mass. She has made most of the sacraments. She thinks people would go to church in the city more than people go to church now.



Tu Tran
Practicing Cathoilc.


She thinks the church will be built  in about  5 years. They have one more church to go to than the St Mary’s. It depends on how long it builds and if we move.
  Thank you for your opinions. Hopefully the Cathloic church will be built soon and hopefully the seagulls move out of the area. Also it will  hopefully be good for people who need to pray in their life.
By Arielle Russell.

This week for Reading we did a place that we think our city will need. I chooses a competition swimming pool because I love to swim an I think we need it.

Here is the design I made:

What do you think we need in the community?

 Onawe Pa.

Answer: North: 6, East: 4.

Kaiapoi Pa.

Answer: North: 5, East: 7.

 Maths was good this week also I learned a lot  about directions and how to read a map to see what's the quickest or slowest way to go.

If you took a Waka from kaiapoi to Onawe the distance would be 54.6 km.
