My last Visual Mihi at PES - DLO 2020!

This is my Visual Mihi. My Visual Mihi consists of My family, my culture, music and Church. These four things are very important to me. 

The word Aiga Fealofani is a samoan word which means Peaceful Family. My family gets along with each other very well. We crack jokes now and then, have lots of family gatherings and respect one another. I love my family!!

In the top right corner we have my culture. Yes!, I come from the beautiful Island of Samoa. I was born there and was raised there for couple of months. I guess that makes me pretty samoan, right? I have the samoan flag there too. There is also my favourite flower there which is named Aute, the english name is the Samoan Hibiscus flower. I am proud to be Samoan!

Music! Another important thing I hold dearly to my heart. I love to sing and use my singing voice as another way to express my current emotions. I sing at school, home and even at church. I haven't learnt any instruments yet, but I would love to major in Music or Law in the future. 

The last square is Church. Going to church and praising the lord is very salient for me because the best relationship I could ever have is with God. I am samoan christian and go to a EFKS church. EFKS in english is LMS, LMS stands for London Missionaries Society. EFKS stands for Ekalesia Fa'apotopotoga Kerisiano O Samoa. God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.

This is my Visual Mihi. Like the title, this is my last visual mihi at PES. I hope you enjoy. I worked really hard on this artwork for 4 weeks. Have a wonderful 2020!

Room 11's Favourite Fruits - Maths 2020

There were a variety of different fruits that our classmates chose. The most favoured fruit is Strawberry and the most random is Dragonfruit and I like BTS? Overall, Strawberry is the most favored in Room 11 maths class and we all have different fruits that we like.

Energy, Lets save it! - Science Tech @ Tamaki

Today , we have Science for Tech down at Tamaki College.

Our topic for this week is Saving Energy! What do you know about saving energy at home? How does your family save energy at your home? It save you family from paying expensive bills and you can not go on your devices and wifi as much as you do, respectively.

We then had to name the rooms around the house and what would consume energy in that room. For example, Kitchen and Oven. The most interesting one that I liked was in your Bedroom and the outlets. The outlets consumed a lot of energy because you would usually plug your charger for your device and charge it over night. That is a long time.

Next, watched a video and it how people in a daily life would waste energy and they would fix it by limiting the use on energy. One way was too use stair instead of the elevator. Another way was to replace incandescent bulbs with eco friendly bulbs. You should follow these tips!

We drew incandescent bulbs and labeled each part of the 'body'. We also drew a eco friendly bulb. The difference between the two bulbs is the the Eco friendly light bulb conumes less compared to the Incandescent light. The reason behind it is because the Filaments inside the Incandescent bulbs use up a lot of power to actually light up the bulb.

Our science tech group took a look at Circuits. We tried lighting up a LED lights using a battery and this other tool that will remain unamed because I forgot what it is call. But we found out that the negative goes with positive and the positive goes with Negative. After a few tries we found one battery that was actually charged and it lit up the little LED light in the middle.

We still have more to work on and discover next thursday. So, Come back then and see what else we do for Science at Tech down at Tamaki College. Hope you have a beautiful Day or Night!

An Admirable Person? - Writing 2020

An Admirable Person?

Someone who you admire dearly! Who could it be? The person I look up to is a famous Celebrity. A strong, kind hearted and a beautiful voiced woman. Could you guess who it is?

If you guessed Selena Gomez then you are correct! She is strong. She is kind hearted. She has an

amazing voice. Let's what qualities make me love her

She is very strong! Mentally, Physically and Emotionally. She was diagnosed with the disease Lupus at young age. Because of that she developed Anxiety and Depression. She had gone through so much pain with her surgery and her Anxiety/ Depression. She also had a relationship that hurt abused her mentally and emotionally. Though she has gone through a hard time, she remembers to keep her head up and to just hope for the best. She has taught to always stay strong through hard times because at the end of every hardship there is always a great outcome.

The kind hearted woman, she is. She spreads awareness about Equality, Women’s rights and Bullying. She is very empathetic and I think that's what makes her really kind. Being very empathetic comes with being wise with her words. She doesn’t want to hurt others with her words or actions just to make her feel superior. She has definitely made me

more aware with my words and my actions towards others, being kind and definitely understanding.

Lastly, she has an amazing voice! When she sings, I can relate and connect with her. She sings with emotion, especially with her new album where it talks about her relationship and her wanting to be independent. I really like her chest voice and her head voice too. She has good control over her voice, which is amazing. She has her own unique and original sound, her voice color is really nice too!

Overall, I think we can all agree that she is a spectacular person. She is strong, kind hearted and has a  very melodic voice. Isn’t she the most perfect woman to walk on earth? I really think that you should listen to her music and also pay attention to the messages that she is trying to spread. Thank You Selena Gomez for being the person you are!

Addition Pyramid - Maths 2020

Maths for this week is Addition. The image above is the task I had to solve, this is a Addition pyramid. You start from the bottom and add the two numbers to get the number above. For example, 19 + 43 = 62 - the number above 19 and 43.  You can do the same to the other numbers too.

 Hope You Enjoy!

Adorable Addition 1 - Maths 2020

   Adorable Addition
We are learning to use place value to solve addition problems using whole numbers and numbers to 2dp.

Multiple and factors practice

Multiples of 6 to 10 = 6, 12 , 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54 and 60

Multiples of 7 to 10 = 7, 14 , 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63 and 70

Factors of 28 = 7, 4, 28, 1, 14, 2

Factors of 45 = 45, 1, 5, 9, 

Factors of 14 and 28 = 7, 2, 14, 1

   

1. Kalani has $2.50. He is then given $0.80. How much more money does he have altogether?
2.50 + 0.80 = $3.30
2. A swimmer is in a 100 meter race. She swims the first half of the race in 32.34 seconds and the last half of the race in 34.83 seconds. How long did it take her to swim the whole race?
32.34 + 34.83 = 67.17 seconds


3. Pauline buys an apple for $0.90 and pays with a $5.00 note. How much change will she get? $4.10
$5.00 - $0.90 = $4.10
$0.90 + $4.10 = $5.00

4. Oali’i walks 0.7km to school and Jane walks 0.5kms to school. How much farther does Oali’i  walk than Jane? 0.2km
0.7km - 0.5km = 0.2km
0.5km + 0.2km = 0.7km

5. One pencil weighs 28.3 grams. How much do 5 pencils weigh?
28.3 x 5 = 141.5
28.3 + 28.3 + 28.3 + 28.3 + 28.3 = 141.5

Show your working as you solve these problems:

1235 + 5643 = 6878
1200 + 5600 = 6800
35 + 43 = 78
6800 + 78 = 6878


54. 56 + 45.56 = 100.12
54 + 45 = 99
99.56 + 0.56 = 100.12


65.45 + 41.44 = 106.99
65 + 41 = 106
.45 + .44 = .99
106.99

23.67 + 75.52= 9.19
23.6 + 75.5 = 96.1
0.07 + 0.02 = 0.09
96.1 + 0.09 + 99.19



This is one of the Maths work I had to do this week. We are working on Addition this week. We are going over our basics skills in Maths. Enjoy!
