Merit can do
On Friday I went to kapa haka, first we got in our lines to do our school song, then we were getting our transitions right for the culture festival, after that we were just about to get into poi then we got stopped because me and a couple of my classmates had to leave for the library. The learning quality I have shown was being resilient because I kept on going even when we had to do the song over and over.  

W.A.L.T Use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters and areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles and the volumes of cuboids.

Rich Assessment Task: WALT:  Use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters and areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles and the volumes of cuboids.

Complete the 3 problems below on a blog post and then put your name up for a teacher conference.

The best possible outcome

Answer for problem 1: #26 is the perimeter that is the lowest so the rectangle has a length of 9 and a width of 4.

Answer for problem 2: #28 Is the perimeter that is the lowest a length of 8 and the width of 6

Problem 3:

Definitions

Void: an empty space or vacuum. Fluorescent: able to give off visible light after being exposed to a source of heat, light, or other form of energy Vulnerable: able to be hurt or injured Interconnected: to connect or cause to be connected one to the other or others. Seldom: not often; rarely.

Example/Non Example	Is a void messy? Why or why not?	No because a void is an empty space in a vacuum cleaner.
	Which color is the most fluorescent at night? Why?	silver because it is a color that is able to give off visible light after being exposed to a source of heat,light or form of energy like on cones.
	Why are elderly people more vulnerable than children? Why?	Because elderly people are old and are falling apart whether children are more flexible and have more energy
	Which is more interconnected; a vine or a dandelion? Why?	A vine because it was made to grow and to stick together.
	Which is more seldom; the Olympics or an election in NZ? Why?	The olympics is more seldom because it is every 4 years and a election in nz is like every 3 years.

Word Associations	The plants in the garden are die during a frost	Seldom
	There were lots of different paths that joined each other	Interconnected
	I made a shot from halfway while facing backwards.	Vulnerable
	We are still exploring  outer space.	Void
	I can find my key ring easily in the dark.	Fluorescent

Word Relationships How might each pair of words be connected?	Vulnerable/Fluorescent	The meaning of the words mean they are both able to achieve something.
	Void/interconnected	Nothing because a void is a empty space and the word interconnected is where something connectes.

Extended Writing	Think of a time when you felt as though you were in a void or when you saw something that happens seldom. Write a paragraph about this.
	I received an award one day and now it happens very seldom. I never receive awards for anything anymore.

Kapa Haka Merit post 2

Today, a group of my classmates and I, went to kapa haka it was whole hour long practice instead of the usual time which is about 30-40 minute practice because the cultural festival coming up. We learnt that we are going to start our performance at the cultural festival with haleluia and the timing to when we step toward the front of the stage during the song. During Kapa haka I showed the learner quality of resilient by not giving up when learning the new moves and I just kept on trying with the poi.
