What was the Activity?
The Activity was that we were in groups and trying to problem solve the  Question.

What strategy did your group try?
Our group tried Takeaways, Division and Times tables. The divisions were hard to do but we tried it anyway. Also, there were three parts to do with the Question.

We were successful with the Question but we didn't get them right. but we worked together.

Definition.

Acidification. It means something is in progress of making an acid.

Deforestation. Cutting down trees

Water vapour. Water vapour is totally invisible where the water from the ground rises up.

Icemelt.  Big Ice Melts. 

When the climate changes enough to warm the Artic and to melt sea ice, the polar regions have less of a reflective surface. More heat is absorbed, which causes more melting, which amplifies the warming.

  

 

Amazing Art

In Hurumanu we have been working with 7/8 Bh. We have been working on Manaakitanga we have been working in groups in my Group I have Shelby and Kya. We have been using whiteboards and a Chromebook for stop-motion. We are using stop motion and whiteboards for our story that we are making.

Blog Post about C.I.P

Hi Bloggers! Today I am going to talk to you about C.I.P. In C.I.P we have singing, rugby academy and dancing. However, I chose to select singing. Singing is my favourite subject for C.I.P and I enjoy doing it with my friends. Singing keeps me calm, relaxed and feeling happy. I also enjoy singing in my own time at home, in shower but not with my hairbrush. My favourite song we sing at choir is "why does love do this to me?". It is very catchy and funky. It is by a New Zealand band called The Exponents. I think it would be cool if we got to perform for the Elderly people at a local rest home or at a competition. I look forward to November where we are competing in Kids for Kids singing competition. I hope we win!!
