Koru games reflections

The activity I did was: Football girls.

Two Koru games highlights were:

1. Improving on different positions because I used to playing midfield and I had to do striker that I'm not that great at.

2. Competing with other team's because I'm used to competing with my team members and by now I know there strengths and weaknesses.

I'm proud of my team because of how we collaborated together and most of us didn't argue.

Advise :

  •  Get along with your team so on the day you don't fight throughout a game.

Library - merit 8

On Thursday Alicia , Honor and I were on reading to children in the kakano area.
Alicia took 5 barbie books, Honor took a range of different books and I took spot the dog books.
At Start there were no children wanting to read or listen to books accept for one little girl that Honor read to after a few minutes we had about 3 to 5 children each , we even the children out into groups of 3 and then we read books to them one group wanted to read  barbie books and the two other groups didn't mind either spot the dog, barbie books and a few different range of books.

The learner quality I think I showed was resilient because we had no kids at the start and we kept trying to find children to read to. The care value I showed was Active Thinking and Respect because I Respected the children's choice of books and I used Active Thinking by making even groups of children.

Water Cycle Information report

Water cycle


The hydraulic process of the water cycle has 4 different stages: Evaporation, condensation , precipitation and Runoff/Groundwater. The water is recycled throughout the process ;There are 3 different states of water in the water cycle: Liquid, solid and gas. One thing is for sure there is no start or end of the water cycle.


Evaporation is when water is found in many different areas eg. Lake , Ocean, Sea,  Swamps and plants that form into small molecules.  Usually the evaporation occurs when the water reaches boiling point. For the matter of fact the water that evaporates from the sea is not salty because of the density of the salt which is too heavy to rise.The loss of density is called evaporation; which forms the molecules into vapor. After the water changes states into gas, dust in the air combines with the gas droplets to make clouds. ( condensation )


Condensation and Precipitation is when the vapor , droplets and dust in the sky combine and  changes into clouds that forms condensation.Then the clouds form precipitation which is hail, snow, rain, sleet etc. Once the precipitation falls the water that rolls down the mountain goes into two different area’s runoff and groundwater.


Runoff is when the water goes into the river and keeps the water cycle going. Groundwater is when the water gets infiltrated into the ground. Groundwater is another word for the water in your taps but don’t be mistaken, the water in wells and spring are called aquifer. When an aquifer becomes too full it starts to leak onto the surface (which is commonly known as spring.)

Overall there is 4 main points of the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff/groundwater. The three  main points of the water cycle is that the water gets recycled over and over and will never stop. Secondly there is three forms of water, liquid,gas and solid. Finally the water cycle has no end or start. Water is important for all living things and we all need to appreciate what we have.

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns.

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns


In this unit I have been learning about:
  • The parts of speech.
  • The types of nouns.
  • The types of sentences.


In this unit, I found challenging…

The parts of speech because it was hard finding information and there was 7 parts we had to research about.

Something new I learnt was...

I learnt what a preposition is. A preposition is a word that describes the relation to an object.

Helping out around the school - Merit

Today Alicia and I helped out in the library.
Today Mrs Ward was away and Room 17 and 19 needed 2 librarians to issue and return there books.

Alicia and I went and issued there books There was a lot of books and a lot of children , so we worked hard to get the books issued and returned. Alicia and I helped a few children find books and helped the teachers settle down the children. Alicia and I were really friendly and kind toward the children especially when some children couldn't get books out because they had too many overdue.  After room 17 was done we were about to leave, but then room 19 came so we helped them out as well. Room 19 were a bit louder when the teacher was reading a book to them so we had to quiet them down and remind a few children to use their inside voices.

The learner disposition I showed was communicate because I communicated with all the children and Teachers with respect and ask them if they needed anything. I even communicated with the children when they needed help to find books.
