My Math Goals

 In class, we are doing a Brick test and I am currently stuck on Brick 22! It is one of the hardest bricks in my opinion (mainly because I can't move off of it). So, to help me move off 22, we made a goal sheet. It shows where we are, where we want to be and how we're going to get there. Enjoy!

Naming Objects In Te Reo Maori

In Maori, we are learning to name objects and we are starting to say where about in the classroom they are positioned. In this Google slide, I am stating if the object is or is not what I am saying.

Decheis Explanation On Plants Process Of Excretion

 Throughout the world, plants are found and they all excrete the same way. They have a different more complicated way of producing waste than animals and humans. Even though they don't have excretional organs they still produce waste. This explanation tells you how.

How Plants Excrete

In the plant kingdom, plants process waste in a completely different way than humans

and animals. They have multiple different processes to do so. Even though there are

hundreds upon thousands of species of plants they all excrete in the same way! Plants

excreting is a fascinating process and this piece of writing explains how.

Osmosis

Firstly, to understand how plants excrete you need to understand osmosis. Osmosis

plays a vital part in plants excreting. Osmosis is the movement of water and nutrients

from the root to the entire plant. It absorbs water and nutrients from the soil and

transports them through the plant. Xylem vessels take the freshly absorbed water

and nutrients from the part of the plant that has the highest concentration in water

and nutrients to the lowest concentration.

The Xylem Vessels

Xylem vessels are molecules that carry the excess water and nutrients from osmosis to

the leaves. The wood in tree trunks is mostly made of xylem vessels. Xylem vessels

transport water and nutrients through the plant and then to the leaves for the plant to

excrete. Once the xylem vessels have completed their job the plant is ready to excrete

using transpiration.

Transpiration

Finally, through transpiration plants can excrete. Inside the leaves, there are minuscule

pores called stomata. The stomata is the most important part when the plant excretes;

it would be impossible for plants to excrete without stomata! The water and nutrients

is dropped off in the leaves by the xylem vessels. Then the process of transpiration

is put in motion. Transpiration takes the water and nutrients and shoves them into the

stomata (pores) in the leaves. The water and nutrients is then released into the world.

After that, the entire process starts again.

Now You Know

Now you know how plants excrete. The process is amazing and confusing at times,

but you can gaze in awe at the process of a plant excreting and its wonders in the end.

Finding The Area Of The Tricky Triangles And Their Cousins The Rectangles

In math's, we are learning to find the area of tricky triangles and their cousins the rectangles. Finding the area of these two shapes can be very difficult. That is why I am guiding you through the 3 step process 1 step at a time. Here they are:

Step 1: First off, you need to find the area of the rectangle that the triangle is in. To do this all you need to do is multiply the measurements of the height (the side) by the length (the bottom).

Step 2: Great! Now find the area of the triangle. To do this divide the base by two (the base can be anywhere) and then multiply it by the height (which is always perpendicular to the base).

Step 3: Last but not least, subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.

Now, any question that involves the area of tricky triangles, their cousins the rectangles or both, you now have the tools to solve it. Don't get upset if you didn't get it first try because neither did I. Just try again and you will succeed!

Tricky Triangles

 This poster that I created, it shows all the information I learnt about triangles. Triangles are tricky but are useful when tesselating and making patterns around the world. I love how triangles can make illusions and use them for quilts and traditional clothing.

My story

 This is a story I worked on in my spare time. It is called fantasy fame. It is a story about a girl who is rich and famous but is in a job that she hates. Hoping that you like this story and enjoy it.

Story 7 

Fantasy Fame

Sitting in the sunset with her black auburn streaked hair and her emerald

green eyes sparkling in the sun,  Amber gazed into the kaleidoscopic sunset.

Her mind was wandering around in a fog of uncertainty and her dazzling

career was standing on the threshold of a new light. Suddenly, paparazzi

came storming up the hill like a stampede; holding her breath and brushing

back her hair, Amber glued on a smile.

After the paparazzi had bombarded Amber, wiped her sweet smile off of

her face and a rouge tear ran down her rosy cheeks. She was in a forced

career and she had no one to comfort her. Amber’s heart was torn and as

a professional actress, she was spectacular at hiding it from the unforgiving

world. 

Her blazing red dress danced in the wind and the viridescent grass swayed

around her feet. The deep blue waves crashed against the rocky cliffs and

she had made up her mind. Her decision was as clear as the deep blue

ocean. “I QUIT!” screamed Amber. Her voice echoed throughout the theatre and

the shocked glances made her bright smile worth even more. “You can’t!”

said the agitated voice of her director, but as Amber strutted out the door

she took no notice of him. 

Her life was in a new light and she was going to make every second count.

She walked down the Hollywood walk of fame and saw her name glittering

on the pavement. Amber had an actual smile sitting on her face and her

emerald eyes glistened with happiness. Her new life started now.

My Science Hypothesis

 In class, we are doing an experiment. We are experimenting to see if estuaries really are affected by run-offs. 'Run-offs' are leftover fertilizer and nutrients being washed off the land and into the sea. Estuaries are the nurseries of the sea so it is threatening to the aquatic ecosystem if estuaries are harmed. This is a template I created to show and tell our experiment.
