What is Kelly Tarltons underwater world?

Kelly Tarltons is a huge underground Aquarium that was named after a man named Kelly Tarlton. Kelly was an underwater explorer that had found interesting things such as sea life, coral reefs and even dangerous sharks.

Kelly tarltons had a dream to build an underground Aquarium to show the people of New Zealand and the world what he had discovered in the water and so he did. It was built in 1985 and was first opened later that year. It was built close to Okahu Bay and there he found and brought in helpless sea creatures.

The reason why Kelly and his team wanted to help sea creatures was because our beaches were so polluted and filled with rubbish. So he had to help them and in doing that he created a healthy environment where they can live in peace. When Kelly finished the underwater aquarium he filled each attraction with water and designed each fish tank to suit each Sea creatures habitat so that it will be suitable for the sea creatures.

Kelly also was very fascinated with sharks and therefore his team caught them and transported them in to Kelly Tarltons. There are four different types of sharks at Kelly Tarltons. The Sand Tiger Shark, The Broadnose Sevengill, School shark and the Wobbegong sharks. All of these sharks are harmless to other sea creatures.

Weeks later after the creation of Kelly Tarltons, sadly Kelly Tarlton past away. But he passed on a big gift to tourists and local people of NZ. He also gave his underwater aquarium to the people to learn about the creatures of the sea.

Monday morning fitness

Today on Monday morning my class and I went out for fitness and as usual our class gathered in a circle to stretch. After that, we had to decide what game we were going to play fitness and so I said Rugby Netball can our teacher said yes. If you don't know what rugby netball is then I got you covered.  What is rugby netball

We had two teams. One boy team and One girl team. So we played with excitement, the first point was awarded to the girls but it wasn't over.

We played on and the rest of the points were awarded to the boys because we are lit!!!!

                                   

Science Intensive in Room 8

Today we have been learning about the three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) and the changes of matter. In this experiment we first we had to put a baking paper under so we could start spilling chocolate.

This meant that the chocolate changed from a Liquid to a Solid. Then we waited until it was hard enough to eat.

Netball P.E

Today my class and I went down to our school courts to play a game of Netball we played three rounds, for those rounds my team were the light blue team and we played against the dark blue team.

First, we stretched in a big circle then we went through the rules of a netball game. There can only be seven people on the court at all times.

Next, we started a game of netball the shooters in my were Loto and Danny, they were very good at shooting and we were very good at getting the ball down to them so they can get points for the team.

After our first round, we went over to the next court for some drills with Miss Ogram our new student teacher, we did a drill that involves passing and pivoting. Next, we moved on to our second round.

For the second round, my position was W.D meaning Wing Defence. We played until Mrs Tofa told us to stop because it was game over, we won and moved on to the next court.

For the next court, we played a rock, paper, scissors game where you have to teams on each side of the court then one person from each time run to the middle and play rock, paper, scissors, the loser goes back to their team and the winner keeps running until they get to the losers side of the court then they win.

After that game had to come back in a group to the first court to close up and talk about what we learnt.

Holiday recount

In the first week of the holiday was really fun because on the first week my parents went away for a five day holiday in Samoa and we got to stay with my aunt and her kids. During those five days, we had the coolest days ever because every day there was something new to do. On one of those days, we went to watch a fan favourite movie. The fate of the furious (Beware spoiler alert). The Fate of the Furious is about a man named Vin Diesel who turns on his family to save his x wife and son.

On Easter Sunday I went with my aunt and uncle to the Airport to drop off my Nana, Cousin and my Brother because they were going to Christchurch to see my Dads Brothers Family and they would be arriving back in Auckland the following week.

The next morning my aunt we to go pick up my Mum and Dad from the airport after arriving back from Samoa. When they got back to our house there they said they have gifts for all the youngsters. I received a black and Grey Samoan Tee Shirt.

One week later my family and my aunt's family were lucky enough to go to rainbows end. The first ride that my Cousins and I went on were the Family Karts. Next, we went to the scorpion Karts. Later we went on a ride described as Space Invaders it was very fun until we started to get dizzy. When it was almost time to close we went on our last ride and it was in the cinema.

The next day I went to paintball with my church. It was very entertaining but painful. We played in two maps the first one was the pyramid CTF (Capture the flag) where two teams play and strive to make their approach down toward the centre where inside lays the flag which one of the teams have to take to the opposite side. Next, we moved to another map called resident evil. For this map, we needed two teams one team a zombie team with shields to make it difficult for the survivors which were the team that I was in. After that, we went back to base for a little snack before went back home.

Naruto Uzumaki

Hello. Today I have read a online book and in this story there is a little Boy named Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto posses a very strong power called the power of a Jinjuriki and every Jinjuriki has a beast contained inside of them. Naruto's beast was a Fox named Kurama. Naruto hated this power because as he sees it as a power other people in his clan see him as threat to there clan and others.

Maths Problem solving

Today on the (15, Mar, 2017) Our class have been working on a maths Problem for the past two days. My trio had the opportunity to solve the problem in front of the class the Answer is 174 here is the strategy.

9 x 5 = 45 then 9 x 5 = 45 then 9 x 6 = 54…. 45 + 45 + 54 = 144 + 16 = 160+14=174

9 Because there are 16 tables and 5 + 5 + 6 = 16 and I x it by 9 because 9 people on 1 out of 16 and it made it to 144 then added 16 to make 160 + the 14 Kaumatua makes 174.

Henry William Script

Henry William

Hi my name is Henry William (a missionary I was born on the 11th of February 1792. The reason why I had moved to NZ was because I was ordained a priest 'for the cure of souls in his majesty's foreign possessions' in 1822. I was given the treaty on the evening of the 4th of Feb. The treaty needed to be translated into Maori for the chiefs the next day

I knew the Maori language well, but I really wanted Maori to sign the treaty. I thought it would be best for Maori. Some of the challenges is that I wasn't allowed to translate it in dept to Maori, I didn't have enough time to translate the treaty of Waitangi, no Maori were allowed to be consulted on the wording and I had to use Maori words that made it sound really inspiring for Maori.

Fresh Water Quality and Availability

My weekend

In the weekend, I thought that it was going to be boring but on Saturday my mindset changed from boring to happy. In the morning on that Saturday my Dad, my Brother and I went with a couple of Church friends to a lady’s house so that we could help her with her needs and that's what we call a service project.

She mostly needed help with everything that was outside, like mowing her back yard, cutting down vines by the side of her house and planting plants to make her house look a lot better. It was a lot of hard work but it was worth it just to be able to see a smile on her face.

After that, we slowly drove back to our church to have breakfast, it was quiet delicious. Soon after that breakfast we went outside for a long game of Basketball. It was down to the last few minutes of the game and it was a draw. My team mate dribbled the ball to the hoop and almost got blocked by the rival team He didn't succeed in blocking him, my teammate got a lay up and ended the game.

Maths

Today our class had a geometry kesson. Our problem was very confusing. I had two partners and there name's are Mateaki and Sam. Our problem was called Carries Cubs. This is the Sheet that we worked on.

           Carries Cubes

Walt: identify classes of two- and three-dimensional shapes by their geometric properties.

Carrie has glued some cubes together to make a large solid cube with nine small cubes showing on a face.

She paints the large cube red.

This is the answers that we got.

 

How many of the original small cubes have:

1. three faces painted red

8

2. two faces painted red

12

3. one face painted red

6

4. no faces painted red

1

To solve it we drew the dots over the pattern to get the answer.

Vist to the childhood centre

Today my class had the chance to visit Glenbrae kids it was very awesome because of Miamis two nephew's named Trevor and Tarzan. We had lots of wars with the toys and we also drove the trolley around the centre. Then we sat on the mat and had a war with Miamis partner.

At the end we had a little play, then it was time to go. Miami and I said goodbye to them then we departed.

Abstract Painting

My Artist: Morris Louis

Born: November 28, 1912 - Baltimore, Maryland

Died: September 7, 1962 -Washington

What did he do:

Morris Louis became one of the leading figures of Color Field painting, along with his contemporaries Kenneth Noland and Helen Frankenthaler. In his short yet prolific career, most of which he spent in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., Louis continually experimented with method and medium, manipulating large canvases in creative ways to control the flow and stain of his acrylic paints. His mature style, characterised by layered veils and rivulets of poured acrylic paint on untreated canvases, makes his paintings some of the most iconic works of Color Field painting.

This was 2 of his painting that he drawed.

This is what he called Veil Paintings of his own.

Tech Reflection

Today we had our first Tech session for this term, our class is called Mr Grundys workshop,In his workshop their are dangerous tools and also we craft wood and make metal necklace, for our family. I'm up to crafting the wood into the shape that I want, we use a cutter to make the shape, then we put soft metal into the shape to make it. The goal that we are trying to achieve is to make it before we finish our time there.

When I was just about to get onto the cutter It was time to go back to school, it was was sad but I knew that there was another week to go back to Tamaki College.

Science Intensive

Today for the first block we were in Mrs Moopanars class for our last Science Intensive lesson, our lesson was based on magnets and what we did was that we had to do was to make a pyramid and in the middle we had to put in a magnet. After we had made it all we did was played with it. Then it was Morning tea time.

After morning tea we played with our cut out objects that had pins in it. Then we used a large magnet and a paper to put on top of it, So that when we move the magnet around so doses the object. After we did all of that we blogged about it. After we blogged we play a game until we had to leave.

Tennis Lesson

Today in the morning my class and I went to the hall for our next Tennis Lesson, for our tennis lesson like last we week we had to have a team, the first step that we had to do was practice our volley up close to the net.

So as we were practicing we moved on to a competition with our team, and what we had to do was that there was a champ and there was an opponent how to get points was by using the skill of volley to get 2 points, and by getting one point is by getting a normal hit.

After that we had to come in and pack-up because the other class was coming in for there lesson. What I learnt better was how to hit a volley to score more points.

Light session with Miss Kay

Today we had a session with our teacher Miss Kay. Our lesson was based on light and what we did first was that there were three stations. The first station was lasers and mirrors, the second one was with  4 papers stuck to the wall and i tiny silver ball that we had to shine on the paper with a flashlight, the last one was the we had a magnifying glass with a paper to shine the light on.

Next we moved on to reading a booklet about light, then we watch a movie about rainbows. After that we watch a movie call the magic school bus. After watching some of it, it was lunchtime so we packed up everything and went back to class.

After a fun break we went back to Miss K’s class to finish the off the day, what we did for the last block was to write a blog post or an information report about what we learnt throughout the day, after the clock struck 2:30 it was time to pack up and head back to class.

It was really awesome today and I learnt lots of cool and new info from today.

Here is a link of to one of the things that we did today and a video that we watched.
