Capybaras are the largest rodent in the world. They have large, scary, dangerous looking teeth that can do some damage but, in all reality they are very kind and friendly animals.


Native from South America in places like columbia and venezuela, the big rodent has a normal diet of grass and their own poop, they eat their own poo, yes. Disgusting. An adult Capybara can eat upto 2.7 to 3.6 kgs of grass per day they also occasionally eat, reeds,grains,melons and squashes.


Female Capybaras are normally pregnant pregnant for 5 to 6 months and can usually have one litter per year consisting of 3 go 5 pups. Baby Capybaras are commonly looked after by all females in the group since they are such an easy target for jaguars. Babies will eat their mother's milk to 15 to 17 weeks though they will start to graze a few days after birth.


These rodents tend to live by the water where it is surrounded by a thick blanket of trees and scrubs. So you will commonly find these rodents in placing consisting of lakes, rivers, swamps, ponds and marshes and sometimes in flooded savannas along rivers in the tropical rainforest.


These fascinating creatures are actually illegal to keep as pets in many states. In states of the likes of texas and pennsylvania they are legal to own. They are also legal in other states but require licenses to own. So even though they are kind and friendly creatures think twice before you decide to bring one home.


So in conclusion Capybaras are friendly and cute animals but there is alot to them and a lot of restrictions and a number of extents about this cuddly rodent

Traditional Gathering And Harvesting Of Kai

Current New Zealanders still indulge in the traditional Māori dishes, Māori kai continues to elaborate.

Customary Māori diet

The Māori diet was based on birds and fish, augmented by stray herbs and roots.

In their tribal gardens, Māori also grew root crops, like potato and kumara (sweet potato).

Māori hangi ovens look like this they are big groups of kai (food) cooked underground in thermal areas in like Rotorua. they go in deep pits for a long time.

this is my CSI Algebra Sample

During this term, what have you learnt in algebra? 

I have learnt that it is easier than it looks. When we first started learning about algebra i was scared because it looked so hard but now i understand it and it has become easier and easier.

What are your next steps?

To do harder types of algebra and also be able to do it faster than i can usually.

that is my self reflection from the slides.

Achievement objective (Level 4): Find fractions, decimals, and percentages of amounts expressed as whole numbers, simple fractions, and decimals

Learning intention: We are learning to find fractions of whole numbers

in this video I showed you how to find 1/4 of 34.
Here, I explained that to find 1/4 of 34 I did this;
I halved 34 first so to do this I this I did 1/2 of 30 = 15 and half of 4 = 2
Then I added 15 and 2 together to make 17 then from that 17 I halved that too, to do this I halved 16 to make 8 and then I added .5 to the 8 to make 8.5 so the answer is,
1/4 of 34 = 8.5 and that is how I did it.

My life, spent trapped in a dome shaped prison, glass cascading down all around me. Blondey, I see her peering over at me. I try to get out of this torturing dome I call home. I try and try again finally though, I give up, I can't do it, im never getting out. What's happening? Im slipping! Whooshh! I fall off the shelf. Ploshh! I summerdge straight into the fish tank. I look around. My glass dome? Where is it? Its gone! I'm free!! I see a scaly mermaid type figure, I can't walk. I am astonished she is gorgeous! Have my eyes betrayed me? Suddenly I start to feel a rush of cold air bubbles pop against my rough yet soft snowy coat of say “skin?” its snow of course. Crush! MY dome! Wait my dome.. Its back.. The glass.. Surrounding me… Again… for good… Here we go again a gigantic sigh rises upon the room filled with decor.

E-Portfolio, music, Term 2, 2019

Music - E-Portfolio Sample

Achievement objectives:

Communicating and Interpreting:

Level 3:

Prepare and present brief performances of music, using performance skills and techniques.

Level 4:

Prepare, rehearse, and present performance of music, using performance skills and techniques.

Learning Outcomes:

This term we have been learning how to play some new songs on the keyboard, guitar, ukulele and the bucket drums.

We learnt to play the song “Sunflower” using chords on the ukulele.

We also learnt how to read guitar tab and we played “Eye of the Tiger”.

On the keyboard we had the opportunity to learn to play lots of songs including the Minecraft theme, the Avengers theme, the Halo theme, the Game of thrones theme and many more.

The instrument I enjoy playing the most is… Piano

I liked playing this instrument the most because… Its just like keyboard but piano is more sympthetic.

Next time I would like to learn to play... Moonlight by XXXtentacion.

ePortfolio Maths - Strategy

TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR ANSGroup 7 Strategy Sample Term 2

Achievement objective:

NA3-1: Use a range of additive and simple multiplicative strategies with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages.

Elaboration on this Achievement Objective:
This means students will use a range of mental strategies based on partitioning and combining to solve addition and subtraction problems with multi-digit whole numbers and simple decimals (tenths). These strategies include standard place value, for example 603 – 384 = as 60 – 38 tens less one (219), rounding and compensating, for example 923 – 587 = as 923 – 600 + 13 = , and reversing (applying inverse), for example 923 – 587 = as 587 + = 923. Students should also connect known multiplication facts to solve multiplication and division problems, for example 13 x 6 = as 10 x 6 + 3 x 6 = (distributive property), 14 x 9 = as 2 x (7 x 9) = (associative property) and 36 ÷ 9 = using 4 x 9 = 36 (inverse). This multiplicative understanding allows students at Level Three to find fractions of quantities, for example two-thirds of 24 as 24 ÷ 3 x 2 = 16, find simple equivalent fractions related to doubling and halving, for example 3/4 = 6/8 , to add and subtract fractions with the same denominators, for example 3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4 = 1 2/4, and to convert improper fractions to mixed numbers, for example 17/3 = 5 2/3. Students should know the decimals and percentage conversions of simple fractions (halves, quarters, fifths, tenths) and use these to solve simple percentage of amount problems, for example 50% is fifty out of one hundred. 50% is one half so 50% of 18 is 9 or five is half of ten. Level Three corresponds to the Advanced Additive stage of the number framework.



In group 7, we have been learning a variety of additive and multiplicative strategies. Below you will see samples of work where we have had to choose which strategies to use to solve a variety of problems.

Self Reflection: I think I did well after Ms T gave me that hint sort of thing because then only had to work out the rest of the numbers and which I think it did very well with


In this sample of learning I …. Tried many different strategies but in the end the hint that I got help a lot I did not realise that what I was doing was very confusing and hard when the easy way was what I did first.


My next step is …. to try the easy way which I thought would not work first next time.

Ashleigh, I like the way you have produced two very clear hypothesis for your investigation. You have used your prior knowledge well to help you conduct your experiment and write a clear conclusion.
Your next step is to produce inquiry questions that have more depth to give you a clear answer.

Looking at the giant swing i wonder, frightened will it break?, will the mechanics fail?
Can i trust these runners? I see pine trees rustling and runners running to the third level.
I hear the instructor yelling to the runners and the runners yelling back. I smell fear.
I could feel butterflies in my stomach as i feel the caribeana clicking as i start to fall.
I taste the adrenaline rushing through my body as i feel like i am going to throw up like
i am on a roller coaster also because of the pine particles in my mouth but still fear!
I wonder if i am going to enjoy it?.

Student Reflection: As I was writing this piece i realized that i had done my goal it was using complex sentences so I went to Mrs Gilmore for her to sign off my goal after that i had felt accomplished and felt that this piece was my best. In writing one of my goals is: Use complex sentences. I did/did not show this goal here because I did use this goal because if you read it properly you will see. In writing one of my goals is: Organise writing into paragraphs with related ideas. I did/did not show this goal here because I did not use this goal because in my book and in my writing i did not try/do it because i did not understand how to in this type of writing. My next step is My next step is to try to use all my goals in my next piece of writing and try my hardest and i hope i get one fully signed off at the end of the term. Teacher Comment: Ashleigh, I like the way that you have used show not tell. You have shown me exactly how you feel as if I was there myself. You were able to use a range of sentences and keep your ideas linked. Your next step is to separate your different ideas into paragraphs. Miss Hurley.
