This year Me, elijah, Jacob and leonidas made a movie about our project that we made for inquiry. We tried making a full size version but we didn’t have enough time so we had to bulid a prototype but something happened while we were trying to fix it. I won’t spoil it anymore so sit back and enjoy our move.
Today for extension we had to learn about a random topic that we got to choose from. I chose to research about how digital technologies can help tackle some really big problems for the less fortunate.
Today at Mana Ako mrs Tele’a spun a wheel, and that wheel choose what topic we had to do. I got heaters and I had to show the eveloutions of heaters from now all the way back to a hundred years ago.
During my research I noticed that the heaters got older the further I went back. I also noticed that the heaters got smaller making them more portable and easier to take with you.
doing this task at Mana Ako was really fun and I hope we get to do something like this again.
This week is Tongan language so at Mana Ako we had to design a type of clothing called Kiekie. Kiekie is a type of clothing that women wear in Tongan. Wearing a Keikei is a sign of faka’apa’apa (respect). A type of clothing in my culture that is like a Kiekie is a puipui. We usually use these at cultural performance’s. So if you do Maori it is showing respect to our culture just like how when you would wear a Kiekie which is also showing a sign of respect

In todays task we did lines of symmetry. A line of symmetry is a part where you split the shape in half but if you fold it it’ll still be the same thing. we also did reflection, that was kinda of hard.
Last week wednesday we had to write issues that are important to different types of People. The first was 11-13 year olds, Next was our parents, aunties, uncles and teachers, Third was grandparents, and lastly was toddlers. As you can see from the task that their are different colours for each note. I was blue and my team was, Toa, Jabal and Patrick. For our team it was really hard to come up with ideas but we did our best and i think we did pretty good. The highlight of this task was having to work in groups because most of my group were my friends. If we do this again I wanna try coming up with more ideas.
