E - waste Explanation
AllE - waste is a problem. But no one seems to care about it. I think that e - waste should be dealt with. It affects practically everyone. It’s just like vandalism. But, to people who once had no issue with the way they used to live, now they have to fix problems that not even anyone in their own country caused. It causes skin damages and food poisoning. Wasted ideas and designs and money issues. If you care about the planet like you say you do, then why are you letting this go on any longer than it should?
Sickness and skin problems like rashes, cuts, headaches and dizziness are caused by the toxic smoke which is released when the imported electrons from overseas are burnt. In cities like Ghana and Guiyu, when there are food markets, the toxic smoke and fumes spread right across the city, which poisons the food, which our friends from far away eat. The toxic smoke spreads across the city causing skin problems as I stated in the beginning of this paragraph.
E - waste could be a waste of time, money and design. Why would you want to design something so amazing, for it to be burnt? It takes ideas, time and designs to create something you think everyone will enjoy without complaining. It’s just like being a teacher. A teacher has to create tasks he or she knows their class will enjoy. Something like, iPhones, TV’s, laptops, computers and many more devices which have been upgraded from the first design to the one now. A message I really want to get out into the world is “IF YOU MADE IT, YOU DEAL WITH IT!” Simple!
We all want to be safe recyclers. BUT! Safe recycling costs money. Money doesn’t grow on trees. In order to have money, you need to make it. In order to make it, you need to have have the qualities of what it is you are doing to make the money you want and have today. Wednesday, 29 October 2014

The Wonders of Fishing Practises: Information Report
The Wonders of Fishing Practises!
Do you want to learn more knowledge about the different types of fishing practises fishermen and locals use to catch kaimoana? Well, you have come to right place.
Dredging! Dredging is steel nets that are dragged across the ocean floor picking up or collecting scallops and oysters. Some fishermen forget that although dredging collects scallops and oysters. It also scrapes the ocean floor, which ruins marine habitats and releases all the silt which makes the water dirty. To stop this from happening, the net could be put on wheels which are still dragged through the water, but are not ruining the ocean floor.
Another fishing practise is Gillnetting. Gillnetting is a net which floats in the water with the help of floats and weights. The net can sink to the sea floor, or can float to the surface. The netting is almost invisible, so the creatures swim right into the trap. Salmon, sardines and cod are the main fish gill netting is supposed to catch. But, other fish like sea turtles and sharks can get tangled in the net and die. To stop this from happening, the net could be more visible so that when the wrong fish swims by, it could swim above, below or around the net! Click the link below for a short video about Gillnetting!
The next fishing practise is Trawling. Trawling is a big net being pulled through the water behind a boat or two. The net that is used for trawling is called “trawl.” Precious sea creatures like shrimp, shellfish, cod and many other sea creatures are caught by a trawl. A trawl has an open end and a closed end. The open end is the mouth and the closed end is the tail.
Long Lining! Long lining is a long line stretched through the water. On the longline is a net pattern which traps fish and other things. Longlining effects the sea process by accidentally catching things it wasn’t meant to catch. To stop this from happening, the person or people longlining could fish where there is more of what they are fishing for and less of what they aren’t fishing for.
The four fishing practises we chose to write about are common techniques, which were used long ago and today. Did you know that 82% of our planet love fishing, not just for the yummy food the catch, but for the fun that is made out of it!

Xtra Maths
The skill I practised for this task was addition. Recording my basic facts under three seconds. These are the results:
Addition Triangle
The skill I practised in this task was once again, addition. I had to add two numbers beside each other. For example, 7 + 5 = 12, 5 + 9 = 14 and so on.
Equivalent Fraction Bingo
This game is called Equivalent Fractions Bingo! What I had to do in this math game was pair the correct fraction with an equivalent fraction.
Gone Bananas
This is a game called Gone Bananas. I had to answer 10 or more equations in the five times table in order to move to the next level.
Xtra Maths
This is my Xtra Maths results. The equations with the smiley faces on it is the questions I got right and under three seconds.

Collaboration! Collaboration! Collaboration!
Collaboration! Collaboration! Collaboration!
By: Caprice Tokoa
I strongly believe that working in a group or with someone other than yourself, is the best way to learn and stay focused during learning time in class and so should YOU!
Firstly, have you ever wondered what the best way to learn could be?
Well, if so, this piece of writing will persuade you to think that working collaboratively is the best way to learn. Why do you ask?
Well, working as a group means, more brains. More brains means, more work and more work means, a happy group and teacher. You get work done faster than independently. You find it easier to explain who’s writing or doing what and so on. Working collaboratively is the best way to learn from my perspective.
Secondly, if you are thinking that working independently is the best way for yourself to learn. Then that is what you think, but personally, I think that working in a group or with someone other than yourself could help you, and whoever you are working with gain more knowledge by sharing your prior knowledge. Always listen to theirs, because you never know, one day you might not be listening to the teacher during class and you might think, “Oh? What does this mean?” Who will be there to answer that question, no one because you were working independently(unless you asked someone around you that is).
Finally, in my opinion, I believe that working collaboratively could help you achieve more things during your school life. Working with more than one person allows you to create a much stronger, and positive relationship with others, not just those who you are always partnered up with. Just by reading this, my only question for you is, what would be your choice? Would you prefer working independently or with more than one person?
I hope that this has slightly changed your mind about collaborative working!!

Inquiry Presentations Reflection
Our group is the ‘Reasons Group’. The members are Taylor, Caprice, Tanisslous, Niko, Danisha and Willy. Our group answered questions like how and why WW1 and 2 began. We used a lot of websites to help us answer our questions. Hard work and effort was put into this!
As a whole group, we agreed that we needed to improve on making it original, using a range of different media types, and having the confidence to speak what we researched with pride. But, if I was to improve something independently, it would have to be the way it was presented. For example, making it engaging and worthwhile to watch and listen to.
From another group Weapons 1, I learnt that the machine gun was the best weapon to be used in war even though 4-6 men had to control it. This is because it was easy to target soldiers. From the same group, I also learnt that the Disappearing Gun was hard to spot from the sea and was hard to target.
This is my Inquiry Presentations Reflection I completed for this term. Be sure to eave me some comments about my work including FF and FB.

Tamaki Primary Heads To North Head!
Tamaki Primary Heads To North Head!
Written By: Caprice Tokoa
“Tamaki Primary students all hover around the Disappearing Gun to take a school selfie! What a blast they had!”
Wednesday the 12 of March, 2014, students and teachers who attend Tamaki Primary School got to experience face to face, artifacts which were used in war. Multiple students described the trip as if they had never had fun before! Students and teachers travelled by bus, ferry and foot. Other students thought that it was like running up and down the stairs about 20 times!
Tamaki Primary students, teachers and some people from the public boarded the ferry and drove over the Waitemata Harbour, on the way to North Head! Year 7 student Maopa Tupouhia said “It was my first time ever on a boat and I loved every second of it! I really want to do this again!” After everyone calmed down and their hearts stopped beating a hundred times, it was time to hop off the ferry. Everyone got off the ferry and waved good bye to the drivers and the rest of the people that were still on the ferry. Malia pointed “I was scared to go on the ferry at first, but at the end of the day, I had so much fun and it was nice exploring North Head!” Everyone who attended the trip all got ready to set off for the long journey to North Head. Year 7 student from Room 8 Mehi Ake said “although it was tiring, the overall experience was amazing and it sure will help me with my work this term!” Everyone gathered together for the long, tiring, relevant walk. Kelly O'Rourke said, “Even though it was exhausting walking up the mountain, it was a good experience to explore North Head!”
What a wonderful adventure Tamaki Primary had exploring North Head!
They’ll be sure to do it again sometime!
