Fraction Flags

Hi everyone This is my creation on Fraction flags. It was amazing when I finished it. The colors I used were green and yellow. I was trying to divide my flag in half using a symmetrical pattern.Before I did it it was quite hard but I figured  out you need 12 pieces then I have 1 half then the other half is the same. I was very proud of myself when I finished it. Here is the link for

The names of the people who stayed are Edwina, Voni, Chanel, Brandon and Bono. The first class room to come was room 9, room 8, room 7, room 4, room2 and then room 1. Our expert for Niue was  Afe my Granfather. When the first class came We all stood up for the national anthem. Next we all did our mihi then we did some things about the Uga, information about Niue and the island. After those things happened we watched a movie about Niue. And the next classes that came we did the same things.

My family treasure

This is my family treasure- an oblong drum It says the name in Niuean. The name of the drum is  Mata Ki Luga.
This is my dad's dad's drum and my other grandad gave it to my dad before he died and my dad gave it to me when I was eight years old so I've kept it for one year. When I have the drum sticks in my hand I like to hit the drum loudly. It sounds like loud and its an instrument that we play at church when it is a special day. The time we always play it is when it's the church's birthday.

Koro's gift

Koro’s Gift

When Moko arrived at Koro’s house, she ran out of the car and went up to Koro’s glass door and peeped through. Then Moko rang the doorbell. Koro woke up with a fright and grabbed hold of the bone carving.

“Have you come to stay with Koro”                                                  “ Yes I have I’m staying for two weeks”. After dad left to go back home, Moko went to sleep. She had a dream that the bone carving was stolen.

She screamed “Arrrrrrrrrgh” and Koro came rushing in the room.

Moko said, “The bone carving is gone!” Koro said, “No, no I don’t wear it at night. Have a good rest.”

In the morning Koro and Moko had breakfast. After breakfast, they went to the basement. Moko looked at all the Maori carvings. There were ones made out of greenstone. Koro gave her a smaller bone carving. She thought, “That’s the one he’ll give to my family.” but she didn’t say it.

Soil

My soil Report                                              March 2012
                                                                                                          
After studying  soil for the last few weeks, we decided on 4 question for research. Below are the questions and the information we found out                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       What is soil?                                                                                                               
                                                                                                            
Soil is the top layer of the earth. In soil there is dead organic material. Soil has food so plants can grow. Plants grow from seeds. Soil is three types of different materials. If there were no soil there will be nothing to eat. Soil is part of nature. Soil is very muddy when it is raining. Soil can be different colors. Humus is dead organic material which provide nutrients.

Why is soil important?
                                                                                                             
Soil is important because it helps plants grow from seeds. Soil has nutrients food for plants. Humus is dead organic material Which provide nutrients. Soil helps plants stay upright.

Is soil a habitat?
                                                                                                             
Yes Soil is a habitat. Soil is a habitat for many species like insects and invertebrates.

How have people affected soil?

Metal and oil come from rocks. People have dug up the soil to get the metal, gas and oil. Trees have been cut down and the rain washes the topsoil away. Erosion causes lakes and rivers to get polluted. Erosion causes our native plants and fish to die because they can’t live in polluted water.
