My beast is called hairy hammer. The reason of his name is because when people try to threaten him
he will use his super speed to run and then use his strength to punch him as harder than a hammer.

On your blog, tell us how to solve this maths problem. You can write your answer in words, use a Sketchpad image, or post a video explaining how you would figure it out. Be sure to give us your final answer in millilitres (ml).

The answer to 3 x 365:
1095

300 x 3 = 900
60 x 3 = 180
3 x 5 = 15

900 + 180= 1080
1080 + 15 = 1095

Giants among us- SLJ- (4 points)

Many of the plants and trees in New Zealand are native because you can not find it anywhere else in the
world but New Zealand.

I would like to visit the biggest Kauri tree in all New Zealand because it would be an honor to see the
Lord of the Forest. I would also like to find out the story behind the tree and who planted the tree.

A Tongan Christmas!

Link to the website we used

Every Christmas there is singing at church. Christmas for Tongans is very spiritual and
active all about the food and family.

The holiday season starts on November 4 which is Tonga's national holiday and ends
January 1. Christmas Day in Tonga is a singing and dancing celebration. All the villages
would have a singing competition and friends and family would get together and exchange
food with each other to show their unity and love for one another. Gift giving in Tonga is a
little different; woman usually prepare tapa cloths or mats called ngatu and give it to their
brothers and then the brothers would prepare a tokonaki or raw food like meats to give to
their sisters.Christmas food in Tonga is Roasted pig, ufi, sweet potato (kumala), taro, taro
leaves, corned beef, coconut milk, and all sorts of fish and seafood.Tongans decorate their
trees with balloons, and candy. A fun activity during Christmas time for the kids and adults
too is called fana pitu. Fana pitu is translated as the shooting bamboo. Girls can’t wear
short things because it is rude and disrespectful to their brothers.

Milk Magic

Milk Magic - Fulila

Materials:

Milk

Different coloured food colouring

A container

Dish soap

eyedropper

Method:

1. Pour milk into container
2. Drop food colouring in different spots
3. Put some dish soap into the container of milk
4. Then observe what happens

How it works:

The milk that has a blue cap has fat in it and the dish soap kills the fat in the milk which causes the milk
to move around with the colours.

Hypothesis:

Fulila: I think that the milk will react to the dish soap which will cause the colours to move create a
beautiful colour.

Help them

At a school called Layman Intermediate, all girls hated boys and all boys hated girls.

But there was a new girl that didn’t care about the drama, her name was Kate . She just minded her own
business.

Everyday after morning tea a little boy would get bullied by a girl named Mandy.

It was a beautiful day and Kate was feeling very confident. After Morning tea when the little “boy was
being bullied by Mandy, and Kate didn’t want to hide back anymore she was more than angry.

She shouted at Mandy and said “ Would you like it if someone did that to you? I don't think so I would like
it if you didn’t do that to him! Now Shoo!” (Mandy ran away)
Kate helped up the little boy and asked him, “What’s your name”?

“My name is Billie.” he said shly, Why are you being so  nice to me?”

” it was just the right thing to do, replied Kate.

thank you said Billie as he left.

When Kate went to the bathroom she could hear someone crying. When she entered the stall and
saw Mandy crying.

Kate asked Mandy “what happened”

and Mandy said “there was older boys trying to punch Me! and the girls bathroom was the nearest exit”.

Kate said “don’t listen to them and just ignore them”.

Kate asked Mandy “would you like to  come and hang out with me “

and Mandy said “I would really like that”.

Off they went talking and learning about each other.
