Iron Tamariki Key Imformation

Cypress

Our year 8 teacher Ms Aireen gave us a text to read called "Iron Tamariki". Then after we finished reading the story and summarised the text in our reading groups we then had to write down some key ideas from the text. Here is my key information. One key idea from the text is that Mana just wanted his parents to get along with each other during his training. He wanted for both of his parents to be together and be happy. Instead of him having a growth mindset towards to marathon he put himself down.

Brodie

Iron tamariki, a text the class was given to express the key information (ideas). The main idea me and a buddy have come up with is having a growth mindset. In the text there is a boy who wants to run a marathon, but with his mum and dad training him. With his dads help he was able to finish the marathon. This is explaining that the dad had a growth, how did I find this out? With my inferring capabilities with reading. So In the story a key Idea having a growth mindset not only because the dad helped in his son, also because the son chose to keep going and trying to complete the race.

Me and my friend Brodie worked together on this.

More of our description is on our writing above.

Te Whare Tapa Wha

For some of our work for inquiry we had to focus on the fall walls of a person's mind. We got split up into groups (I was with Mehi, Maopa and Sulaiman) and we had to do a jigsaw activity when each person of your group have to go to different groups to learn more about one wall. Then they return that information back to their home groups.
Here is all of our groups information.

Cypress and Sulaiman - Soccer Timeline

For inquiry this year you probably know that our school are focussing on games (world wide). An what our class had to do to get started into our research were to come up with ways to let our reader have an idea on what the game is, or what has happened in the game. Me and my mate Sulaiman made a timeline to show the history of our game. These are just the main dates and activities that have happened during the time.

Multi Multiplication Methods

These are me and my friend Brandons answers to this (Link) activity sheet. We were just showing off our knowledge of strategies we could use to solve complex multiplication questions.

Underground Explorers

Me and my fellow friend Brodie (Link) have read this book in our reading group called underground explorers. We had to summarize key events in the story and show our answers on each question. Drop a comment down below to give me advice on what I need to work on.
