Pascal's Triangle

This is a pascal's triangle, there are patterns, which patterns can you see? The patterns I could see are all the numbers on the side are all ones. The Numbers I shaded in are the numbers that are uneven. I first added all the numbers in each line and wrote the numbers that equal that numbers on each row.

Cooking at Tech

This morning it was our first day at Tech for 2018. All the year 8's are separated into 4 groups and I'm in group 2. We have 4 rotation and I'm in the cooking group. Our tutor was Mrs Heka. We had made Pizza. Our theme for this term is Vegetarian and learning more about vegetarian people. I am so excited to learn more about vegetarian and why they eat vegetarian rather than normal meat. On the pizza we had Ham, cheese and pineapple.

Malo e lelei Nicolas Lei,

My Name is Samoa and I am a year 8 student at Pt England School. I know your having
a difficult time at your new school, but today I am here to give you my advice and my
opinion of what I think about my school uniform, and why you should stay at Ferguson
Intermediate school. My Situation was similar to your problem, us girls were so used to
wearing shorts just like the rest of the school, but now we were told to start wearing clots.
When I started wearing clots, I had to get use to wearing it everyday. Eventually I got
used to it, at first I didn’t like it but then I loved it, just like that! So here are some of my
advice on how to get use to wearing uniform. Just keep reading!

My first advice to you is if you really hate your uniform then still go school, but here
is the trick, pretend you love your uniform but actually you don’t. Just keep all the
negative stuff in your mind and say the nice things about the uniform, just so they know
you love being at ferguson and also the uniform. Anyways I’m pretty your uniform
doesn’t look that bad! You would eventually get over how much you don’t like your
uniform, to saying how much you love how your uniform looks on you! If your really
enjoying your time their at your new school, then I suggest staying there! So here’s one
of my opinion to you, Fake it till you make it!

Here is the reason why you should fake it till you make it. reason one is because, I feel
like uniform is way easier to wear to school everyday, rather than worrying about what
clothes to wear everyday. I feel like when everyone's wearing the same uniform it looks
way cleaner, and anyways it’s not a competition about who’s clothes looks better than the
other person. The Most important thing is you attending school and learning something,
and also to have fun, right! Reason 2! When you are presenting a speech or welcoming
visitors to your school, the visitors will know what school your from, and most
importantly how smart and wonderful you look in that uniform. So know matter how
you look we are all the same!

If your still not sure what I’m trying to tell you, well wearing school uniform is important
because teachers can tell who you are, for an example the teacher is trying to look for
you but she can’t find you because, she doesn’t know what you wore to school today.
The teacher might think you have disappeared somewhere but actually, you're still in
the classroom. I know if I was a teacher I would’ve been worried because I can’t find
one of my students.

It has come to an end to my letter, I am so glad I got the chance to read your letter
Nicolas Lei, I have enjoyed writing this to you and also reading your situation. I hope
that some of my advice has helped you to get over how much you dislike your uniform.
I’m pretty sure you have already!

Kind Regards,

Samoa Koloa,

Persuasive writing

This morning we had to complete a presentation about what we think Persuasive writing means. And this is what I have created on my presentation. We had to highlight yellow if we think we agree, and highlight red if we think we do not agree. We then had to give our reason of why we think its the key point.

Persuasive Word Cloud

This week we have been learning about persuasive writing and giving our own thoughts about what we think! First we had to make a doc and write all the ideas we think Persuasive means. Then we had to copy and paste all the words we have wrote and make a word cloud. And so this is what I have Created.
