And that, Tokelau is technically a part of New Zealand, the currency of Tokelau is the New Zealand Dollar.

The Maori King, Kingi Tuheitia has unfortunately passed, which means the title and honor of being the king or queen has to be passed on, it was passed on to his daughter who is now known as Kuini Nga Wai Hono I te Po. Kingi Tuheitia was going to university, however, he found work closer to home he was later a concrete and logging truck driver who became known for his willingness to pick up hitchhikers. As well as doing the army and meatworking.

Heart rate experiment

For an activety we got to explore and learn more about our heart rates, our heart rates is the speed our heart beats, for this task we had to get into partners, but first we had to check our pulse ourselfs, a timer was put on and we had to see how much our heart beats in that period of time, then we got our partners to check it, for me it was the same about of times.

Then we went outside for the same task but with a different type of twist, to get our heart pumping or racing we started jogging on the spot for 1min, after we had run our partner had to check our pulse and see if it was racing or not, my heart rate when from 27 to 40.

This task was very new to me therefore I found it interesting and fun since I knew how fast my heart rate was.

 

Underwater veicle prompt

For our task we did our Underwater veicle prompt!, we used adobe express, abobe express is an app that uses AI it can turn whatever you write to something like an picture, First we only used 5 instructions to write as our prompt. My first prompt was underwater transport for my picture I created I wrote flowers, dolphines, strawberrys and a tall three story boat as well as chocolate, and then we had to change something by using our BAR, (thinkers key) bigger, add and replace.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to create something with AI.

 

Why is sleep so important?

LI: To explain why sleeping is so important

LI: To read the images and make inferences

For our task we made a poster explaining why sleep is so important, by not only talking about it but by answering the questions and etc. There are many side effects for getting to much and no sleep, for an example, no sleep can cause things like depression, heart diseases, memory loss, anxiety and much more, and getting too much sleep will give you headaches, obesity, diabetes and heart disease again also a greater risk of dying from a medical condition. Here is one fun fact about sleeping. If you have a bad attitude or even mad it can make you have less sleep and even oxygen!

I enjoyed this task because I learnt more about sleep and why its important.

Provocation Paris

In this activtity we used provocation to look at both sides of the issue, our issue was how the country/Paris which are choosed to hold the olympics used with 10 billions dollars to host the olympic games just for the houses and statiums to get abandom and forgotten after the Olympics end. Me and my partner thought that the money was a waste because  they shouldn’t have spent that much money on something that just went to waste, the money which was wasted could have changed people lives,and in our opinion that is much more important than some building that just get abandoned and forgotten once the olympics come to an end. 

I enjoyed this task because I got to learn about provocation

Swimming

Every Thursday we do swimming lessons at the Panmure Pools, our country “New Zealand” is surrounded by so much water so it’s important for us to know how to be safe in the water. So far what we learnt is floating on our backs as well as floating on our stomachs, something else that we learnt is freestyle.

I found this interesting and fun because I learnt skills I may need to use in the future that could save my life.

 

 

Comrades Marathon

This week we had an reading task that was about Comrades Marathon. We got to predict our thinking on the comment box and define those words that we were unsure of. As a group/ peers we read the story and answered the question about what we know about the marathon, then we had to talk about the topic/marathon our sentence idea for the marathon was “The Marathon race is 42 kilometres Endurance Race. We answered the questions and had to write our thoughts on the picture, For Example How would they feel and what are they thinking during the race?” We reflected on the image and shared our thoughts. We also wrote a 25 word summary of the inspirational story of Mntambos. And our summarise was. “As I summarised Mntambo’s inspirational story, he has truly captured the hearts of the nations with a performance he had made in the year 2010. At last we had to answer the question “was our Prediction correct?”

I enjoyed this task because I learnt different words that I haven’t used before.
