Taking the OAR

Are you taking the oar, or are you going to bed.
O for Ownership
A for Accountability
R for Responsibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 B is for Blame
E is for Excuses
D is for Denial
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are wanting to take the OAR when you get in trouble or make a mistake make sure you take the OAR so you get in less trouble if you go to BED then you will get in more trouble and have to take the consequences.

Interchange on Mondays

Every Monday for the next 9 weeks Totara hub is doing interchange. Mrs Prendergast my teacher is doing New Zealand history. Miss Power the leader of Totara hub is doing Science experiments. Miss Hines is doing around the world.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week with Mrs Prendergast we did learning about the ancestors of the Maoris. I learnt new things about my culture and I am proud to be a Maori.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Miss Power we done spinning water this was fun and one of us spun it too fast and the cup broke when it hit the ground and everyone in my group got wet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When Totara 3 went to Miss Hines we had to find all the continents in the world. Did you know there are six continents? I thought there was seven until I learnt about them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There are still 9 weeks to go with interchange and I cant wait to see what is going to happen with that.

Matariki creating

For the creating task I done a "How do different countries celebrate Matariki.
My countries were: NZ, Australia, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji.
How does your country, Town or family celebrate Matariki? My family and I go to the beach and release lanterns into the sky when it is dark.

Matariki evaluating

Should Matariki be a public holiday? Yes or no?
I think yes if you want to know why read my argument.
Do you think Matariki should be a public holiday??

Matariki analysing

For Matariki analysing I chose to do "Why does Matariki not stay around all year?"
For this one you had to explain why Matariki does not stay around all year.
I found out some new things about Matariki. I thought Matariki would stay for 2 - 3 days, but did you know it stays around for 11 months?!
This is my one.

Matariki applying

Mrs Prendergast gave us another 6 options for the Applying activities.
So I decided to do the lantern flying. For this activitie you would have to make a poster or invitation for lantern flying. You would have include Who, When, Why and where.
I hope you will come to see the lantern flying. Or you come fly a lantern. ( Its not real )

Matariki Understanding

Another one of the activities is understanding. We got given 6 options and I chose to do "Why was Matariki important to the early Maoris."
We had to include Why, When, Who and what. I added a extra slide of a "did you know?"
This took me about 1 day to do and I think this turned out okay.

Matariki Remembering

This week Totara 3 have been working on Matariki for the Maori new year.
There is: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analysing, Evaluating, Creating.
Reading this will represent what the seven sisters and 2 brothers represent.
This is my one.

Maths Buddy

This week Totara 3 was given 4 maths buddy tasks to do over the week.
The task was called: Solid shapes 2
They were: Top side and front view, What solid will this net make. Repeating that again but with different questions.
My results were: 70 90 and 100%. I had to do the last task again because I got 70 but then I got 100.
