Right connections

Walt: connect the right meanings to the words.

Connecting the meanings

In this game, we were learning to connect the words (from statistics) this game testes if we know what it means. The easy part was reading the sentences and connect them. The challenging part was knowing which connection is right. I like how the colours are all different. You cannot submit the survey without answering all the questions. Next I would like to play a game similar to this, but a lot harder.

Statistics-graphs of the sports camp T-shirt

Walt: draw 3 different graphs that show your survey has been complete.

Column graph

In our group, we have been revising statistics. We have decided to do three different graphs to show our working. the green group in maths had to do a survey for the sports camp T-shirts. I had to survey 50 people. The question was “What do you think the weight of the fabric for the sports camp t-shirt should be?” The higher the quality (weight) the stronger it is. 6 people wanted the weight to be 160 grams. 160 grams is light but can easily rip when you are running. 18 people chose 180 grams. 180 grams is a little light but cannot rip easily. 11 people went for 200 grams. 200 grams is strong and warm when you are running. 13 people went for 220 grams. 220 grams is very strong but is very warm as well, some of the reasons they chose this is because, it is going to be winter, you will keep warm, and it will last longer. Only 1 person said that it should be 500 grams. What do you think it should be?

The arguement

Walt; study the character that has been chosen in the story.

The argument

I chose to study a character, the koro (Grandpa). Koro is an interesting character in the story, The argument. He shows that he is a caring person because he doesn't want his son (Uncle Eru) to stop drinking and smoking, this is why he is an interesting character. Koro is sensitive. This is evident when Koro began to cry. Koro is also angry. The author explains this when Koro starts arguing with Uncle Eru. Koro is very inspiring to me and caring for his son. When koro heard about Uncle Eru in hospital, he didn't want to talk about him. Koro does is Uncle Eru but doesn't want to say it because he is disappointed at him. He is always in the garden, ever since Uncle Eru had his accident.

Pizza game

Walt: make and serve pizzas as quickly as we can.

Pizza game

The point of playing this game, was to find how fast you can finish, and to get a lot of tips. In this game, first you take the order. Then place the fillings on the pizza, put the fillings in the right place and make sure you have the right fillings. After that you cut the pizza. Then finally serve the pizza to the customer. I know how to play this game because I have played it in the past. The easy part of this game would be dragging the fillings on. The challenging part would be keeping an eye on the pizza when it is in the oven. The exercise could be harder if there were more filling options and more customers. I think I can get more tips by making the pizzas faster. Next I would want to play different games similar to this one, but different foods.

Weird

Walt: analyse the character in a story.

Weird

In this story I decided to study on Min. Min one of the main characters, she is the Mother or friend in the story. One day Min was offered from her daughters teacher, Ms. Mooliba, if she could come to school to talk about her experience around the world. Min is very unique and weird in a way. Min eats a lot in the story, and everything she eats is from a different country. Min can speak 5 different language and she has travelled all around the world. Min doesn't care about how you van is looked but her daughter, Jig, does. When Jigs teacher goes to have dinner with Min and Jig, Min rearranged everything, all Min’s weird things disappeared. Min wears different clothes everyday, first day, she's wearing a long dress, second day, shes wearing a Greek thing.

Pio Terei-My inspirational person

Walt: use our research to write an essay on an inspirational person.

My inspirational character

Pio Terei is my inspirational character because he is very funny and he is never unemployed. He started of as a car salesman. He has a wife and 3 loving children. He is now starring in a New Zealand travel showed ‘Are we there yet?’ on TV ONE. He is also a fisherman and I like fishing sometimes. Terei is a musician too, I love music but not making music. Terei is interested in parenting values so he really cares for his children. He is also a member of “Board of Trustees” (representing parents) He stars in ten different movies, and in most of them he is the main character.

In 1995 Terei headlined his own TV3 show ‘Pete and Pio’ He also hosted ‘Coca Cola Christmas in the park’ thousands of people were watching. After a few other programmes he hosted, in 2000 a TVNZ programme called ‘The Life and Times of Te Tutu’. In the 1800’s he was a Maori Chief and I am also a Maori. He has always tried to improve the Maori culture.

Terei is a very talented musician. On Maori Channel he hosted a fishing show and was a spokesperson for NZ Coastguard. Terei was the presenter and spokesperson for Parent Inc. Terei is the face for Free view, he is a great TV . Free-view used Pio Terei because everyones knows him and he has a good sense of humour. He wants to help parents become better parents.

Right now Terei lives in Auckland, New Zealand. He still lives with his 3 children and his wife, Debbie. I inspire his commitment to his work and how many programmes he has starred in. I inspire what he is interested in and what he does in his spare time. I like that Terei is not a show-off with his life. Terei doesn't brag about his life and tell the world what he does. I inspire him being a member of parenting clubs and board of trustees. I inspire the sacrifices he makes with his work and family. I inspire that Terei sticks up for other people and presents other peoples stuff. I admire him because he is a very good TV reporter and he doesn't use the Maori slang.

“Bringing up kids well and having fun with them is the best thing you can do” Terei says.
