geometry

 

Today for math we went outside taking pictures of different object for example I learned that perpendicular lines have two lines shaped as an + perpendicular has 90 degrees on the right angle. There are a lot of lines like Vertical lines, Horizontal, Perpendicular and Parallel lines. It was fun finding lines but the most hardest was the Horizontal but after i found it I was proud of myself.

Whats a polygon?

Today the year 7&8 in Ata Hapara learnt what a polygon is and i'm about to share what I have learnt.

 
So basically a Polygon is a 2D shape and the word Polygon stands for many sides. In this screenshot it shows the names for polygons based on the number of sides. A polygon is a flat shape that cannot have intercepting lines or if it's a 3D shape then that isn't a polygon. For example in the other screen shot below this shows you whats not a polygon and what is a polygon.

Cultural festival

On a warm sunny day it was a normal Wednesday but our school Kapa Haka group went to a Cultural festival. the first thing I did when we got into class I felt so nervous and wanted to barf but I got through it. 


After that all the boys and girls were forced to put on eyeliner by the gruesome teachers when we got our uniforms and we did a practice run and I called the leader of our group a peacock and I got chased. We got on the bus and went to the great Horn castle arena. 


But the ride was way too long for my comfort so me and my best friend Ashur were talking about games like rocket league and others we play together. when we got there it got chilly, I hated it while we were getting in our lines we had to put on a piw piw which was so itchy! also I saw my family and my grandmother tried to take photos so I hid.


When we got backstage the nervousness kicked in again when we got on the gigantic stage with all the lights shining in our eyes. All of our practice came down to this. I sang my heart out and was so proud at the end. And when the tuakana took of the piw piw, I was 

relieved that its off and went uptop to watch the other groups and 


They were all great but te waka unua performance was shocking

The first thing they did was this amazing hip hop dance and secondly they did this pacifica thingy which was great but the main deal was the kapa haka and it was spectacular

But then we had to leave after that. When we got back and ashur lost his shirt but it was a roller coaster when we found it I got back home and slept for 5 hours
