Howdy There, 

We Are Learning To Match The Definition To The Suffixes.

 

This week, our reading topic was all about suffixes, especially the suffix “-phobia.” A suffix is a little part added to the end of a word to change its meaning. “Phobia” means a strong fear of something. When we add “-phobia” to the end of a word, it tells us what someone is afraid of.

For example, “arachnophobia” means a fear of spiders. “Arachnid” is a fancy word for spider, and when we add “-phobia,” it becomes a fear of spiders. Another example is “claustrophobia.” “Claustrophobia” comes from a word meaning closed spaces, so “claustrophobia” means being scared of tight, enclosed spaces.

We learned that there are lots of different phobias with different names. Some people might have “acrophobia,” which is a fear of heights. Others might have ” hydrophobia,” which is a fear of water. There are even some funny-sounding ones like “claustrophobia,” which is the fear of the number 13!

Learning about suffixes and phobias was really interesting. It helps us understand more about how words are made and what they mean. Plus, now we know some big words that we can use to describe different fears! It’s amazing how a small suffix like “-phobia” can tell us so much about what someone might be afraid of.

Enjoy Reading!

 

 

 

Howdy there!

This week in maths, we focused on long multiplication. That’s a way of multiplying big numbers by breaking them down into smaller, easier steps.

During our workshop, half of the class wrote their names down on the workshop before starting. It was fun to see everyone working hard and helping each other out. Remember, practising long multiplication helps you get better at it, and soon you’ll be multiplying big numbers like a pro. Don’t forget to check your work carefully to make sure you didn’t make any mistakes. Keep practising, and you’ll get the hang of it in no time! Math can be a lot of fun when you understand the steps and take it one problem at a time.  Have fun multiplying!

This week, I worked really hard to write a report. It took a lot of effort and belief to finish it. Let me show you how I did it step by step:

Step 1: Make a document and name it “Report Writing” followed by your name.

Step 2: Add a picture of a natural disaster. I picked a picture of Cyclone Gabrielle.

Step 3: Write down words that describe the picture, like nouns (names of things), adjectives (words that describe things), and verbs (action words).

Step 4: Tell the story of the natural disaster. Explain what caused it, how it might be stopped in the future, who was affected by it, what got damaged and how much it cost, what the effects were, what the rescue teams did to help, and then write a summary at the end. Here is my video I did
Enjoy Watching!

Hello there,

Prefixes and Suffixes for this week are “Bi,” which means that they are two, just like a bike has two wheels. Yes, it was a little difficult, but all in all, everything went okay. Here is my work; let’s see how many Bi terms you can name without using any cheats.

Kia Ora,

This week’s prefixes and suffixes for Term 2 are Uni The fact that there were so many words that started with the letter “Uni” and that the explanations of each word were given next to it made it extremely difficult. We had to list the words’ meanings, some of which were really difficult. Some of the words were unfamiliar to me, so I looked them up. Nobody mentioned we could, so I did. Here is my work, Enjoy!

Howdy There,

 

Eleven people have been picked to attend Papakura High School (PHS), and I had to go there on Wednesday for something very important. We had to complete an engineering project with students from other schools, including Papakura Indeterminate, P.H.S., and E.H.S. We had to work as a team to make something similar to a cargo we weren’t the only ones who didn’t finish it. It was challenging and confusing, but I finished what RM 9 was doing on Wednesday today while we were at P.H.S because the other RM 9 members were working on a map project that we hadn’t finished. We had to go to Google Maps, type the name of our school into the search field, and highlight it in a colour. The schools we highlighted were Paroa school in Grey mouth and our school there is the photo I did.

 

 

Howdy There!

For this week’s Idioms assignment, we are exploring new idioms related to everyday life. Specifically, we are focusing on the idiom “On the war.” Here is my work Iv’e done

Enjoy!

Howdy there,

At the very least, over the past two days, I have been striving towards my goals. For instance, I hope I would like to learn more about fractions. I hope this is done every term so that we are able to track how we are doing. This is my work; hopefully, yours is better. Do comment if you have made progress in reading, mathematics or writing. Have a wonderful holiday. Ka kite

This week, our suffix is “-poly.” We have to find the meaning of “-poly” and find words that contain this suffix, such as “Polygon,” “Polysyllabic,” and “Polygraph.” I will show you my slide. Enjoy!

Kia Ora,

This week for art, we have been writing about what Rangatiratanga means: Rangatiratanga involves speaking up or taking action. I will tell you the steps.

Step 1: Make a Google slide and save it to cyber-smart.

Step 2: Add colour to the background to make it stand out.

Step 3: Click “Insert,” look for “Word Art,” click it, and write Rangatiratanga.

Step 4: Put a mosaic around Rangatiratanga so it looks cool.

Step 5: Add colour to the mosaic so it stands out more.

Step 6: Tell us what Rangatiratanga means on the side of it.

And if you have finished it, you can make a copy of it and instead of Rangatiratanga, write Whanaungatanga and change the colours. Write some values and tell us what it means. He is mine I haven’t finished it I hope you enjoy.
