Unit Pricing & Numskull

In today's Math session we had played/tried Unit Pricing and Numskull on Transum (If you would like to try these games click n the hyperlink). 

The first game we had played was Numskull. You see, this was my first time ever playing this game so I didn't really understand the concept of the activity. although I didn't understand the Numskull I still tried to get the answers but it always ends up saying one column is incorrect which made me stress even more. 

For the second game we had played (well) Unit Pricing, This was easier because we had done a game just like this, But I forgot the name of it. Anyways we had completed all 9 questions and played a mini game in the top section of the page (it was a Puzzle). After Putting the puzzle together it read this "Why is a dog with a bad foot like adding a 6 and 7? Because he puts down three and carries the one."

My overall experience was great. The quality f the question was great and the puzzle in the end was amazing.

Icons

In the 10 am session today Mrs Cardoza challenged Room 1 to write about what we think "ICONS" mean, so here is my definition on the word.

Icons are very interesting because they can range from famous celebrities to objects/foods like New Zealand's Pavlova and L&P. Icons in america are Twinkies, Beyonce and some many other celebrities.

Ctrl Tech

In Week 6 of Ctrl Tech with Mr Daniels, we had attempted the Extn Wk-RGB Col Mix file assignment as a class. We had used Tinker-cad for this project that I named Wk-RGB Col Mix_SNM. With this task we had to use copy and paste (Ctrl C & Ctrl V) for most of the project because we had to transfer the bread board, Arduino board, resistors and the LED RGB to the other side. Once we had done that we connected the pieces together added a few lines and it turned out like this. (picture in the top left corner) After that we had tried for the very first time to debug and code the project which made the lights show the primary colors. Here's what it looks like

Overall I had a fun but stressful Tech session. The only reason why I say stressful because I started again 3 times. The first time was I didn't do it right so I decided to start again but sine I knew how to do it, it wasn't hard and the second reason is because the coding blocks didn't move so I just started all over again.

Hallows Eve

On the Hallows Eve my family had 5 more people over and their dog making 10 people in the house. It was great, I had my niece and nephew with their parents over and my niece's dog Lucky. You see with the arrival of Lucky the disappearance of my sister this is because she is not a big fan of dogs or puppies. Even though she was scared I kinda like the company of Lucky and so did my Alamoni. Since we were all hungry my mum and sister in law Vini went half on some take out. When they walked inside with the food I salivating with hunger. So as the day came to an end we ate, talked and had fun.

Remember to get vaccinated an stay safe in this Lockdown 

500 Trophies

Yesterday in the morning I had reached my goal of 500 trophies in 2 months and 29 days. I have worked really hard to get up to 500 trophies in the past months. Remember to keep safe, stay healthy and vaccinate. If Auckland is 90% double vaccinated we will be given some freedom but only if all of Auckland has their double dose. 

John Pule

Today Room 1 had looked and talked about John Pule. A Niuean born artist who has lived in Auckland New Zealand since 1964. I think his artworks are to bring understatement about Pacific migration and the leap of faith Pacific Islanders have to take to create an income for them and their family. We had looked at one specific piece of art created by John which will be shown on the top left comer. 

We had talked on our thoughts about the art that is shown in the top left corner. Half of the class thought it was weird, I thought that shell was mean't new life cause the koru shaped rope on his head symbolized new life or new beginnings. But it was actually about the sea.

Niuean Language Week Poster

 Since it's Niuean Language Week, room 1 has been  challenged again by Mrs Cardoza to make a poster based on the Niue culture . So Happy Niue Language Week. The poster is placed in the top left corner. 

Stay safe and remember to wear a mask in all public places when outside.
