Comment On Rimu Team in http://rimubayfield.blogspot.co.nz/2016/10/video-comprehension-and-themes-reading.html#comment-form
Hi my name is Kyara and I am going to answer these good questions.
Glued - Questions:
1) What makes the mother initially go and turn the boys video games off?
His Mother got really annoyed of watching the video games being on all day long.
2) What do you think are some of the messages or themes in this video?
I learnt not to play on my video games too long because it ruins your eyes and you might need glasses.
3) Why do you think the director of the movie decided to call it "Glued"?
Because people are glued to their video games while they are sitting on the couch or bed.
4) Do you think that children spend too much time on devices in their spare time? Give reasons why you think this!
Yes, but the thing is they need to learn how to play outside with their friends and other around their neighbourhood.
5) What was the boy's problem at the end of the movie?

The Olympic Art
 |
This term me and my class (Room 10) worked hard on this artwork.. First we had to draw a tessellation and I used triangles and measured up a triangle with sides that were 3.8 cm long to make a hexagons, we made the hexagon with the triangles, we made them by 3.8 with a ruler to make the triangle. The easiest part in my tessellation was doing the vocabulary and the values.
My Olympic vocabulary is in the background, there is vocabulary like the 3 values they are FriendShip, Excellence and Respect. When you play you get put in a place like 1st, 2nd or 3rd if you cheat then you won't get a medal just like Russia they take drugs. I don’t know if there is other countries that take drugs.
In the speech bubbles and the thought bubbles are metaphors and similes. My similes were, I was as fast as lightning reaching for the finish line and the other one was I am a kangaroo leaping over the ramps trying not to fall. My metaphors were my long hair was flowing a golden river as I leapt over the ramps. I did that metaphor because as you leap over the ramps your hair flows in the wind like a waves and my other metaphor was the world is my stage as I pulled another stunt. I did these similes and metaphors.

Hong Kong STEM Challenge
Materials
6 x long sticks
1 x wooden square
2 x pipe cleaners
2 x straws
1 x 1m ruler
11 x plastic cube
Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base:
Challenge one was hard because we had to put one block as our base on the bottom. It always fell down but next time we will but light object.
Challenge #2 - Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:
It was hard because the higher it goes it wobbles a little and because me, Darnell and Javahn we were all working on the same thing once and we didnt work on talking to each other.
Challenge #3 - Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:
It was hard because the higher it goes it wobbles a little and because me, Darnell and Javahn we were all working on the same thing once and we didnt work on talking to each other
It was hard because we kept knocking it over with our fat hands and because we kept on bumping the table with our hands. This happened because Darnell banged the table with his.

Moment In Time Week 7
Today our teacher asked us to write a ‘Moment In Time’ piece using a picture of a boy in the water. We planned as a class to make sure we had the 5 W’s and the 6 Senses.
Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct. Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.
Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end. We had so much fun working together!
If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.
Boy Overboard!
Jack and his Father went fishing, Jack looked down into the water to see if he could see some fish, his dad pushed him off the boat, he splashed into the water and was gasping for breath, then suddenly he saw a shark swimming toward him. His foot got caught into a net and all Jack could see was the sharks surrounding him “AHHH!” screamed Jack.
As Jack was in the water he could see his Dad driving away in the boat. “HELP!” Jack cried “HELP!” nobody could Jack’s lonely voice, his heart was pounding like the waves crashing against the rock in a storm. It was like his Dad left in a blink of an eye one minute he was there, then 30 seconds later he was gone.
The sharks came back for more surrounding Jack in the deep blue sea, Jack tried to swim away but the sharks followed him from behind. Jack tried to swim faster and faster as one shark from behind tried to take a chunk of meat out of Jack’s leg, Jack dodged the shark like a fish getting hooked by a fisher men.
Written by Mya and Kyara.
Mya:
I think that it was fun working with my buddy Kyara because we both had different ideas to share with each other and to gather all our knowledge and I also learn more vocabulary from her.
Kyara:
I think working with my buddy (Mya) was great and fun because she has ideas, we both share our ideas before we put it on our writing. When we put our ideas on our piece of writing, we also put a some similes in.

Matariki Reflection
Matariki Reflection
Matariki is a time for reflecting. Yesterday with whaea Toni we took the time to reflect on our year and set a new goal. Here is the goal I set below.
We made a Matariki star. We used our algerbraic. We had a pattern to follow and this is how it went:
1,2 and down
1 and up.
We repeated this pattern until we got a star like the one's below.

MATARIKI!
Manu Tukutuku
MATARIKI!
Every year the māori people like me celebrated matariki. Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades. It rises in mid-winter – late May or early June. There are 7 stars a.k.a 7 sisters the names are Wāiti, Wāita, Wāipuna-arāngi, Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Uru-a-rangi and the one and only Mātariki. Matariki is celebrated with a feast, pukanga challenge, they also play knucklebones, they tell stories from the past, they use to make kites like ours but without the black paper and the wool maori people used strong harakeke also known as Roupo.
ROOM 10 KITES
Room 10 made kite’s with our teacher Miss Hills. Miss Hills (room 10’s teacher) helped us with our kite’s. For our kite’s we needed wool, rōupo, toetoe. For the maths bit my measurement for the toetoe was 124cm long and we had to cut 40.3, but Miss Hills had to cut it with a sharp knife because Miss Hills wanted us to be safe.
The easiest part of making our manu’s was weaving the wool on to the our manu it goes on the side like the picture. The hardest part was when we had to tighten it on the top of the kite. Me and my buddy needs to get along
WHAT WE DID FIRST!
First Miss Hills had to put us in buddies and my buddy was Manusina, Manusina was my buddy because she was Samoan and I am Maori and because (this is what Miss Hills thought) I’m patient, I’m kind most of the time. Then we went across the road to Idaho place (across from our school). Before we did anything we had to say our school karakia (payer).
OUR MATERIAIS WE HAD TO USE WERE
- Toetoe
- Strong harakeke/ Rōupo
- Wool
- Sharp knife
- Black paper
- Buddy
- Hot glue gun
- Scissor
- Pencil or pen
- Ruler
- Topic Te Reo to write our mathematical problems
EXTRA FACTS ABOUT MATARIKI!
- They are the 7 sisters also known as 7 stars.
- Matariki is a star cluster, not a constellation
- You can see matariki yourself
- Matariki has many different names all around the world like makali’i
HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE 7 SISTERS!
TIKANGA!
Tikanga means means why we do what we do and respect it.
ON THURSDAY NIGHT!
