The Water Project 
What I learnt from this video was that people are helping Africa to get clean water to drink and shower in. Over about 300,000,000 people have died in Africa from dirty water. I also learnt that the women in Africa start their morning searching for water that kill. In Africa they drink all the water they can find even in stagnant pounds, contaminated rivers.. etc

For the water project their goal is to get better access in drinking healthier water.

Summer Learning Journey - Day 2 - Activity 2: Equal pay for equal work

In my opinion I think that both Black Ferns and All Blacks should get paid the same amount of money, because they are both playing the same sport and represent the same country, and I don't think that it would be fair that the Black Ferns get paid more amount of money then the All Blacks. The Black Ferns and the All Blacks are both hard working rugby teams.

The 'Big Friendly Giant' is a  giant that came from another world of his own. He is the only friendly giant in his world. In the book, he is very kind towards Sophie. Unlike the other giants he is very friendly and kind. This big friendly giant has to big ears that sit on the sides of his head, and has a strangely big nose. He has long messy grey hair. He wear a brown old ragged vest with a dirty white shirt. This giant is small compared to the other giants in his world but he has a big courageous heart of his own. The giant is very humongous to Sophie.

Presentation on the brain model

Today Room 7 was split up into each class to go to Room 10 and Room 9, today my group Kalotia and

lesieli were split into Room 9 to present our presentation to groups. My group and I presented about

‘The Brain’. We explained parts of the brain to the students from Room 9. We also asked a few questions

and they answered them, we also asked them to ask us questions about the brains, they asked us

questions such as “What does the brain do?” we said that they should know so we asked them that

questions and they came up with good ideas like “think”, “learn”, “helps you move”..ect. After talking

and asking questions we finally had to finish up. Today I enjoyed being in Room 9 to teach them about

the brain model.

Last Week Of Ruapotaka

From this week it'll be my last week of Ruapotaka. Just before the holidays I will be moving to a new house which means that I am able to move schools, but luckily I will be moving schools after the school holidays.

It's really sad that I have to leave but I am truly thankful to all those who have respected me. I knew that I would never be able to succeed without all the teachers support and help.

But being without my friends honestly hurts. I have true friends that remind me that they will always be there for me no matter what, but I wouldn't be so useless if it weren't for every single one of them.

Thanks to everyone that helped me throughout the past few years when I was struggling.  

Matarki

For our inquiry topic we are writing about Matariki. I was working with Izabella and Vika. We worked on this together, we talked to each other about what our WALT was relating to. I studied a big quantity amount about Matariki. I was really interested while writing this slide show.
