Here is what I have created on a Presentation and it is called Solve Addition Problems Into Tidy Numbers. When I have first tried it I thought it would be really hard but when I have tried it was pretty simple and I also hope you enjoy reading my maths work.

Matariki - 7 Stars.

What is the special sight you may witness towards the end of May?The 7 stars of Matariki sink below the horizon and disappear from New-Zealand’s night sky-but not for long.

What are people looking out for to know that the new year is beginning?Seeing the Matariki at dawn and the new moon at night , because it is an important festival in our national calendar

Tell me three things you know about Matariki?The Matariki has 7 stars which is 7 sisters , The 7 stars appear when it is Maori New Years , When you have seen Matariki at dawn and new moon at night , you’ll know that the Maori New Year is beginning.

Maori used to ‘preserve birds hinu’. What does the word ‘preserved’ mean?It means something is original or existing state , and it also means that in a english way hinu means fat.

Can you give me an example of how people often preserve various items to date? If you keep a close eye on the sky in june , you might be lucky enough to witness a special sight.

Matariki is the time for what? (refer to the text) Matariki was a time for looking ahead and planning your spring planting .

Tell me about a Matariki legend? A Matariki is a great pleasure to help people know when it is the Maori New Years day and when the Matariki raises it  glows like diamonds and there are hundreds of stars that are different sizes.

Malaysia Airlines Plane - Missing.

Writer’s name  : Muamua Leuila

At 12:41 A.M  in the morning of March 8 ,  There was a missing Malaysian Airlines Plane with 239 Passengers in the worlds largest plane . In the worlds largest plane there was 2 New Zealanders and also 3 children and 2 young infants in the Malaysian Plane.  Most of the passengers on board was really afraid that they might die or not.

The Next most important point is that the Malaysia Airlines plane might of flown into space or even to another country. One of the pilot’s on the Airlines plane said “Good night” and all of a sudden the plane  disappeared at 1:21AM  ,   in the sky and no one had ever seen the plane ever since it had disappeared while it was flying from Kuala Lumpur the capital city of Malaysia to Beijing the capital city in China.

The  bound Boeing was 777 that vanished 10 days ago when it had disappeared . Everyone on the Malaysia Airlines plane do not know where they are at that moment. Certainly people pray and say to not disappear or even crash land , And not to land over the ocean in fine weather.

  

People in the media  are saying that the Malaysia Airlines Plane might of crashed landed in the Indian Ocean Jetliner pinged' satellite after vanishing from radar . The media say’s that the Malaysia Airlines Plane has either crashed landed in the Indian Ocean , Or it may be floating in space , or even the plane drowned in the deepest sea even deeper than a pool

Reading Activity 2.

Of what social status is Ai and her family, are they wealthy? How do you know this? What is your reasoning for thinking this?

I think that because a Mah-Jong Man is a place where you gamble like a casino  and that was where Ai’s dad was. They are not wealthy because the father keeps on going to the Mah-Jong  Man place and always  loses his money.

Where had mother gone to? There mother had gone to find Ai’s father at the Mah-Jong Man  place  like every Mah-Jong Man place in town and they were all worried that they would not find him anywhere.

How had the situation taken a turn? Who was now taking care of the children? The situation  was that was  that their father was not a good father to his family the way  he is drunk all day  when he comes home and right now Ai’s mother is the boss of the  family which means that their father will never come back to their family.

For what reason do you think the children’s mother had been staying at their fathers office on her own? Ai’s mother had been staying at her husbands office because she really miss him and she was praying and searching for Ai’s father all over town and her 2 children want’s their father back home a back together with their mother

What bad habits does father have? Where do you think he is going in the evenings?Father has bad habits in his heart that means that he doesn't even care about his family suffering without him and that they are poor because their father had took all of the money and lose them all ,  and their father goes to the Mah-Jong man place  everyday in the  evenings.

List three examples of bad habits:

Losing all of their money.

And they are not wealthy.

Their father is not a good husband to their mother at all.

Empathy.

Intro:  Empathy is an acceptable way of respecting others and new visitors. Empathy makes me do the right thing by asking  the person that is feeling down if they are ok and all right. If they have no one to play with, then you play with them to make them feel welcome in our school.

Para 1:  To show empathy you need  to feel  people’s feelings are like in their life and world. Empathy is when you are caring for one another and also sharing for one another , to help and care for what they have done wrong to you and your friends. To also ask them about how they feel and make them not to feel sad or afraid of anything they do or what they say.

Para 2:  It is important to show empathy so that the young ones can also  show empathy to the rest of their friends in class time. By the time it gets to your fuel break and when little ones play on the playground you watch out for them just in case they might get hurt by the big ones.

Para 3: People , student’s and also teachers show empathy by leading and helping your classmates in class , and also play time. Older children and adults are a leader of what they participate in whatever you have registered  for.

Reading Activity 2.

Summarise what has happened in the story so far.While Ellie was sleeping on her bed dreaming her bed and the house was shaking so hard that it would be stronger than a car crashing in to other people’s cars. Ellie thought she was dreaming and then when she opened her bright eyes and started getting scared and then she did not know what she could do so then she crawled down and across the room and just remembered that her teacher and the student’s where talking about earthquake and she just remembered the drill at school that the teacher said it would be a bad Idea if you would stand or hide underneath a door or even the hallway. Ellie was terrified and scared of the earthquake and Ellie’s father just came up stairs to check on her and her father said “The power is out” and Ellie still just stayed still on the doorway. Ellie’s father shone the torch on her so she can see light and her father said “Come on lets go downstairs and find that old radio” and she finally standed up and walked downstairs with her father.

The city where Ellie and her parents lived got advised to boil all drinking water for at least three minutes. Ellie’s mum said to save some water. Ellie and her mum went to the shop to get some supplies and they were just on time to at the dairy . Ellie and her mum saw a lot of people stuffing food in their trolley and even the shelves was almost empty . So then they got what they needed Elie was happy go home. Back at home Ellie’s dad began checking the house for damage. Several big windows were cracked. There were cracks in the ceiling and in the walls , and there was a huge crack down in the middle of the chimney. Ellie’s dad said “I’ll have to take it down,” . and he went to go and find the ladder. When Ellie and her mum was on there way home they saw the shops and they were even damage badly and broken in pieces.

Ellie is crouched down very low with her arms over her head. How might this help? What is she waiting for?It would protect her face and also her whole body and that is why she has covered herself.

• Why did Ellie think “at least”? What is she referring to? Have a look back in the text and see if you can find what this refers to. Ellie is waiting for the earthquake to stop.

Why were people buying water? Because they needed water to drink if they walk any further.

• What about the batteries and the bread? Why were they selling out? Share your ideas with a partner.They needed batteries for their torches and radio to know what was going on outside the whole world. They need bread because they needed food to help them survive.

Why do you think the author has mentioned this? What does she want us to know?She want’s us to know what to do when an earthquake happens where you live.

• What have you found out about what it is like for this family? Which parts of the text have helped you to do this?I have found that it is hard if you have an earthquake in your city or even where you even live or your country but most of all your country.

What you think the author’s purpose was for writing this story?I think that the author purpose was to let the reader know what to do when ever an earthquake happens wherever you live like your country so you can be safe whenever and wherever you live.

What parts of the text helped you to come to this understanding?Because I know how it feels when your house gets demolished down and you will need to live somewhere like the hotel. And to also become a person to help other people that their country can be safe but getting help from other people.

Reading Activity.

Looking at the title of the text and the image on the first page, what do you think the story is about?I think it is about the  earthquake happening in the middle of the darkness , and the little girl was afraid that the house might collapse on her.

Why did Ellie think she was dreaming?Because when she was sleeping she felt her bed shaking and also the house was shaking so she thought that she was dreaming.

What does violently mean? Put this word into a sentence.?Violently means when the house gets busted down hard that the house might fall on them , and the house was shaking hard and sounds like a car crashing in to another car.

What are five things you should do in the emergency of an earthquake?Getting away from glass things , hiding underneath the table , or bending down in a safe place for yourself and your family , trying to make your family safe , not to stand indoors.

Why did Ellie crouch down?Because she was afraid that the bed might fall on her and she was trying to stand away from glass things and also heavy things in her bedroom.

Why would you want to be away from windows and mirrors during an earthquake? Because it is not safe because the way it cracks and when you walk past the cracked windows you should stab yourself or your toes and the mirrors might fall on her.

Name a city in New Zealand that has had an earthquake within the past five years. What happened?

Christchurch.  

in 2011 there was a earthquake in Christchurch and heaps of people were missing and heaps of people were dead.

How are earthquakes measured?

Earthquakes are usually caused when the rock underground suddenly breaks along  fault so ha is how the ground shakes. When 2 plates rubbing against each other. The rocks are still pushing against each other but not moving.

Why were people in the city of Christchurch advised to drink boiled water only?So they can kill the germs so like when the building falls it can stop the dust by making you sick.

Why do you think mum started filling pots with water? Is  this a sensible idea why/whynot?Yes because mum was filling the water in the pots so when you are walking far from the mountain and if you are thirsty you can drink the water in the pots.

What parts of the house were damaged?The windows were cracked , the chimney had a big hole in the middle , and cracks on the ceilings.

Why would Ellie’s father want to take the chimney down?A Because the chimney had a crack in the down middle so if it would fall down it would badly injured a person because it is made out of brick.

Why were they lucky to have gone to the shops early?Because the shelves was almost empty because people was throwing supplies in their trolley.

Last Lines.

Looking at the images and title of the text, what do you think the story is about? I think that someone might get sent to hospital,or someone having to read a poem their favourite poem.

Look at the layout of the text and the different fonts the author has used, why do you think he has done this? To try and tell the reader that it is going to be a sad story and to let the reader feel sad and to feel sorry about the person in the text of the book.

Why was the little boys father not supposed to do any strenuous work? Because something sad might happen like he might faint or have a heart attack because he has a heart problem.

Why was he embarrassed of his father at times? He is embarrassed because his father is old and he reads poems when the son’s friends come by and say hi.

Why would the little boy try avoid his father when he has friends around? Because his friends might laugh when his friends hear his father singing a poem about a war.

How do you think his father would have felt? Do you think his dad knew he was avoiding him? Why/why not? He would of felt happy singing a poem about a war , and I think that his father did not know about his son avoiding him.

What words kept coming into the boys head as he was in the waiting room at the hospital? For the angel of death spread his wings on the blast, and breathed in the face of the foe as he passed.

Analyse these lines, what do they mean to you? I think it is about the father because the angels come and support about the fathers heart problem and the death spreads his wings on the blast , and that means when his father dies the death’s wings spread on the past , And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed and that means that as his father breaths in the face of the angels we would have faith as he past the way.

Why was mum’s voice “choked up”? Mum’s voice was choked up because she was afraid that her husband might past the way and she might need to raise 1 child all by herself on her own.

Why do you think the little boy did not want to see his father? Refer to the image also.

Looking at the colours the illustrator has used in the text, what type of mood does it create? Why does it create this mood? The author done the colour of the text because he can let the reader know that it will be a sad story.

Read up tp page 25 and predict what you think the nurse wanted to talk to mum about? I think that the nurse wanted to tell mum that her partner was going to die and past the way and she also told her that he blood pressure was too high.

Why couldn’t the little boy sit with his father and talk to him? Because he was afraid that he might tell him something and he was also scared that he would die , but I think that it was a great Idea to talk to him so that would be the last word to say to him before he would die.

If you were in the little boys shoes how would you feel? (Think about being empathetic)

I will be sad and awful about my father dying in the hospital and I will sorry about the boys father.
