For this inquiry task we thought of what the Maori and British people would’ve said or been thinking while the Treat Of Waitangi. For this task we used speech bubbles and thought bubbles to show what the people singing the treaty were thinking and talking about. Look at the things me and my partner thought was happening.

This week we went back  to tech for the first time this year. We got assigned to our groups and were told  what we were learning. I was put into the sewing group where we were to make bags for people we thought of, which could  be your parents, and your friends.  We first started off with recapping about  the safety rules and the  sewing machine, me and my friend partnered up and we got given papers to sew the out lines of things. Like a house, and, sunflowers. once done we finished the day and went back to school.

For this task I have made a vision board where I think I will be in 2026 at the end of this year. This can help me see what I think I will be achieving this year and decorations I chose will help me to be more motivated and more excited to the end of this year.

Talofa Lava, my name is Malosi. At school the subjects I enjoy are maths and literacy. I think I will enjoy this year because of the sports competitions and the tech activities. After school I like to go out with friends and family. One of my hobbies is playing video games competitively. 

My goal for this year is to improve in the subjects I am not good at right now and improve at the ones I am good at.

For this SLJ task I rated both of  species ranking them in which had better accessories like claws and ears, which had better fur, which one was most active throughout day and night and lastly which one had the best habitat. For most of them I chose the Anteater, in my opinion I think overall the Anteater won because, suited more of the questions given, and it suited most of them.

For this task I found it more fun because I got to rate both of the species and they had their cons and pros.

For this SLJ task I made a food web for a lion. To do this I copied a Google slide deck with the animals already on there. After then I made different colored lines indicating the relationship between each animal in the food web. Then I put the animals into their own category being, preyed by Lions, preying on Lions, or both. Doing that I decorated my slide show and completed it, also a fun fact about Zebras is that they  use their stripes to help camouflage in long grass and confuse predators.

I enjoyed this task because I got to learn how to make a food web.

For this SLJ task I made a cartoon Google drawing of an extinct animal of my choice. For this I chose the Woolly Mammoth and some cool and interesting facts about it is that they were roughly around the size of  modern African elephants, but adapted to the Ice Age having 20 inch Long fur and small ears to conserve heat, A fact about their husks is that they were 15 feet made for clearing snow and fighting.

I enjoyed this task because it was fun making a cartoon version of an extinct animal.

For this task I learnt about animals that either prey on lions or be preyed on by lions , sometimes each of them both do. First we got a list of seven animals, with these animals we researched whether these animals were the prey, predator, or  both.

A prey is the animal that gets hunted to survive, but on the other side who hunts the prey they are called the predator. Two facts I learnt about both of these types of animals is that, a prey has evolved defense far better than a predators and have sharper senses like sight, hearing, and smell. Two facts about predators is that predators can keep prey populations from growing too large, and they use many methods to hunt including stealthy stalking, or ambushing.

I found this task fun because I got to learn about predators and their skills and the same with preys.

For this SLJ task I made a file about any tiger species of our choice. I chose the Siberian Tiger because it is the worlds largest cat. To start we made the file on Google doc, our first step was to put a picture of the tiger we chose, following up we found facts and information about the animal. I chose to find information about the physical charsteristics, dietary and the current population status. To finish the task I added photos.

I found this task interesting because the Siberian tiger has much fun facts and interesting ones.

For this octopus design I chose one that didn’t show much detail and I gave it a simple clean skin color that didn’t need that much shading. I made the eyes black because it was not hard to do. Three things I learnt about octopus is that they have three hearts, they are very smart, and they have very large brains.

I found this task fun because it was cool to color in simple octopuses, I found it interesting because I got to learn fun facts about octopus.
