While me and my group were presenting we held our models.
Last we had a discussion about who was going to be hired and some groups that was going to be fired.
I think that my gorup work on is to work on eye contact and being more confident when saying there lines. My gorup didn't reach the criteria becuase we didn't include our materials test sheet

Illogical /simplified/Assumption is Providing evidence that does not directly support the claim.
Circular Reasoning is supporting a claim with the same claim.
Over-generalization is making a global statement when there are likely exceptions.
Biased Argument is making a claim that is influenced by your own personal feelings or experience.

Fractions are whole things divided into equal pieces.
A fraction of a set is a whole group divided equally into smaller groups. For example: A quarter of twelve is 3 (12 ÷ 4 = 3). twelve divided into quarters leaves 3 objects per group.
A fractions has two secese wich is numerator and denominator. The numerator is the above fraction that shows many pieces. The denominator is the below fraction.
This week for reading we did a QAR task on a book called: Change our school uniforms
First we answered the questions and put them into the right box. There were 4 boxes to put the answers into wich was right there, think and search, on my own and author and me.
Right there is that the answer can be found in the text.
Think and search is that the answer is in the text but you may have to look in different places.
On my own is that the answer is not in the text but you could even come up with an answer if you didn't read the text.
And author and me is that the answer is not in the text but you have to use background knowledge and what the author has told you to come up with the answer.
I found this task very hard because question 3 took me long to find the answer in a different place.
LI: to identify the main ideas in a text.

Today I went to watch a Maori performance at assembly.
First the performers blew a conch while walking on the stage. They also introduced them sleeves by performing a few dances that used Maori weapons. Afterwards they informed about the different kinds of weapons that they used.
Next they performed a Haka dance. After that our Kapa Haka boys replied back with their own Haka to the performers.

I enjoyed performing the Haka because I have never performed a haka to the performers.
All natural disasters start from bad weather. The materials that are suitable against a volcano eruption are: steel door, chicken wire, aluminum sheets, and concrete walls.
The steel door was to get in and out of the shelter when a natural disaster starts or finishes. This material has been chosen because steel is strong.
The concrete walls are out for the base of the shelter and the roof. This material has been chosen to protect against lava because it provides a strong foundation for an emergency shelter.
The aluminum was used for the inside layer to stop lava from coming in. This material was chosen because aluminum is strong.
The chicken wire was used to hold the shelter together and extra protection against lava.
This material has been chosen to protect against volcanic eruptions because it can give the structure more protection and strength against lava.
Lots of materials can help protect against different types of natural disasters.
