Airport trip

Airport trip

I was woken up by my mother as she was about to pull me out of the bed since I wasn't waking up which was just great. So I got up got ready and jumped in the car, so me my sister, nan and mother were taking my cousin and uncle to the airport. So me and my cousin were in the back sleeping and my sister and nan were in the middle so that means my uncle and my mum were in the front. So me and my cousin weren't being smart the night before because we were stayed up to 1:00 am when we had to leave at 4:00 am so we went to sleep even though we should've just stayed up until we went but to late. So when we were in the car and went to sleep because we were to tired. But when we got there my mum parked at the drop off section and we said our goodbyes to them and had hugs then they went into the airport and we went to Mcdonalds got breakfast and drove back home so that I could go to school today so yeah it was a alright trip but it was sad when they left so yeah I miss them already but it's alright so yeah thats my airport trip, byeeee : ) 

Rotorua

The Saturday after the last day of school rolled around and me and my family woke up at 7 - 7:15 am we got up did the morning essentials then we were on our way to Mcdolands and then we got hot chocolates and left to Rotorua. The time we were in the car it felt like forever it take like 5 hours and 30 minutes to get to Rotorua from where I was but add like another half an hour because my sister shes 2 and needed to do her stuff so it took even longer and also plus food so yeah it felt like forever. But when we finally got there it was amazing I got out of the car and stretched till I could reach the sun then went into the motel we were staying at which was a nice modern clean motel. Then the next morning rolled around and we got ready as per usual and then we went to Velocity Vally Adventure Park which was were you can do the swoop which was actually what me and two of my brothers did Kalani and Rico. So we got buckled in then they pulled us all they to 40 metres high and the only way to get down was pulling a string thing. So then they started counting down and then my brother pulled it, woosh we went down so fast and it was amazing although at first it shocked me how fast we went down but it was still amazing so yeah that was one of the many amazing things we did so yeah bye

Maths D.L.O

This week we had to create a maths D.L.O on one of the activities we did for maths. So me and my friend created this google drawing showing you what we did for maths, and it's including what we do for our warm up and our actual task to figure out. I hope you enjoy what we have created so yeah :)

Te Reo

Hi everybody this is my Te Reo presentation that we did with a teacher that comes in to our class to teach us since were not apart of the bilingual unit and my main teacher doesn't know a lot off by heart so it's good to have her come and teach our native language. So this week we learnt our pepeha structure with our grandparents in it from both of my parents side. I am sorry but I don't know what all of it was so I tried my best. But we also learnt how to do it with a character  which was fun and my character that I chose was spongebob squarepants so yeah I hope you enjoy it ; )

My first enounters timeline

Hi everybody this is mine and my groups New Zealand first encounters timeline and we created it on popplet. It wasn't to hard to make because we already gathered the information and all we had to do is put it on popplet, add pictures and make it look nice and presentable for people to see on this popplet

My first encounter writing

This is my first encounter writing and it is about Abel Tasman when he first came to New Zealand but there's not that much to say about this except I hope enjoy it : )

Rocket Science

This week and for the last 7 weeks we have been having a guy named Troy coming into our class and talk to us about rockets and what it takes to launch a rocket. All that we have left with him is only 1 or 2 weeks left to have troy coming into our class and I cant wait till we have a really good rocket bye till next time.

Bee Gardens

This week and last week we have been focusing on bees for our bee garden that we are making next term in week 5 and we had to design our own gardens and these are the gardens that me and my friends designed I hope you like it and can't wait till we actually have the bees bye till next time.

My ANZAC writing

The Gallie Brothers 

The Gallie brothers are both amazing people for what they did for this country. Who are they you might be thinking they are Oscar Eugene Gallie and Victor James Gallie. They were both born in Dunedin, Otago, Oscar was born on 20 May 1899 and Victor was born 23 July 1891. Oscar died 7 December 1917 and Victor died 21 July 1925, Victor died in WW1 from wounds and Oscar died in WW2 from wounds.
What did they do?
Oscar went to WW1 2/90 AWMM, Armed Force/Branch Army. His last rank was WW1 Gunner/Military New Zealand Field Artillery, D Battery, WW2 Captain/Military AWMM Royal Field Artillery, 156th Brigade, A Battery. Victor was ⅖ AWMM Armed force/ WW1 lieutenant/military/royal field artillery. Sadly he passed away from wounds that he got in the war, so he wasn’t able to go to WW2 with his brother. 
 After the war 
When they came home they both had wounds but Victor had much worse ones. The wounds that Oscar got he could at least recover from them and be able to go to WW2. But the ones that Victor got he wasn’t able to fully recover from them, and passed away many years later. So Oscar went to WW2 but died from wounds just like his brother. Their parents were devastated about what happened to their sons but at least they passed away from doing a good cause. Victor’s grave is at Karori cemetery, 76 Old Karori road, Wellington, New Zealand. Oscar’s grave is at Vlamertinghe New Military Cemetery, Ieper, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium. 
How did they honour them? 
Oscar and Victor’s family wanted to honour them, so they had a memorial plaque that’s shaped like a shield from when their dad went to war. But since Oscar and Victor went to war they passed it on to them to honour them because they were so proud but devastated at the same time.. It’s called the Gallie memorial shield because it’s kind of a piece that represents their family and what they did. It was passed onto a school called Wellington College. It is awarded to the form obtaining the highest aggregate points at the annual athletic sports. So in conclusion, these people have done amazing things for this country and have represented their family and our country very well. We should all appreciate everything these soldiers did for us. Sadly they died but we will remember them.

Rocket Science

This is my groups rocket science presentation, in this presentation we each have reflections and what we did that week but sadly I wasn't here last week so I couldn't enjoy what Troy (our instructor) had planned but I hope it they didn't do much without me. But yeah here it is hope you enjoy :)

Fraction street

This is my fraction maths street, so we had to make a street as you can see and we had to make at least 10 houses and have at least 6 fraction questions about the houses. So this is the street I made and we had to name it so I named it colourful street. But anyways if you can't see my questions it's 2/12 of the houses have yellow doors, 1/4 has red roofs, 2/4 has patterned roofs, 4/12 has chimneys, 3/4 has circle windows. So yeah I hope you guys enjoy and I can't wait to see your comment :)

Netball

I choose this story because I thought it could be interesting and it was my first time this year getting player of the day and getting really hungry for the ball so yeah.

Netball

This weekend we had another game of netball and we vs KKHS Ponamu, they weren't that hard and I felt like that was the easiest team especially at the start. So we were going kinda easy but then our coach told us to do our best so that we can try beat our score from last week which was 38. So quarter came around and we started going harder and so did they, they had like this one girl that kept getting the ball for her team but then they would loose it so I felt sad for her. But anyways I was trying to play more hard get some more intercepts and defend better so that maybe I could get player of the day. But there was this one moment when I went to go chase and get the ball because it was gonna go out so I grabbed it and I didn't have balance so I threw it up in the air and instead of it going backwards it just went up and I got embarced. But it was a alright game and I felt like I did good so yeah. So in the second quarter Aisha rolled her ankle in the game so me and her came off in the second quarter and since she's usually the centre in the last quarter I had to go centre but I didn't think I did bad so yeah and I also ended up getting player of the day so yeah :)

My assembly term 2

Last week was room 5 & 6 assembly (my class), We did 4 great items which are a waiata, carpool karaoke, kaiarahi did a presentation of what they did at the national young leaders day down in Auckland and voyaging was our other item we did. For our waiata if you wanna know what song we did, we did ho mai to poho which u can look up on youtube and learn. But when I was doing the item it was very nerve racking because I didnt know the actions because I was sick the days before so yeah but I think I did well for only learning them in 10 minutes. For the carpool karaoke we got into groups and lip synced to the song as you would see in the video. For the voyaging presentation we just had heaps of facts on it and said them so yeah. But that's all I hope you enjoy the video and bye :)

Voyaging and navigation project

Hi everyone this is my voyaging and navigation presentation, we all had to pick a question about the topic and I choose "How to navigate using the stars!" then I had two little questions related to the main question. The little constellations are answers for the two questions and  the writing at the very bottom is to end it all so yeah. Thanks for looking at this and I can't wait to see your comments :)

Week 6:

Last week I said week 4 but it was week 5 sorry, anyways my readings were crazy yesterday they were so high when I wouldn't even eat that much, I wouldn't have things that have quite a bit of sugar in it, I was doing extra insulin and I was doing everything correct but for some reason my blood sugar level decided to play up on that particular day. Because my mum went to Auckland that day so I had to keep ringing her and texting like so much because I was so high and I needed to see if I needed extra insulin so I can go back to my normal readings which is like 5-8 so yeah that was a dummer and really got me angry. Also I went to the pediatrician on Tuesday oh I went high on Sunday so yeah. Tuesday I got told that I need to go down some more because I am to high and then that happens so that also got me angry. My reading today was 19.1 with the arrow going straight up I wonder what my reading is.

I chose to write about this topic to see what people think and Because it's my life and I wanted to express it.

my invisible women poem

This is my women suffrage poem on these invisible women, Our task was to write a poem that describes these invisible women about what they are doing, what she has, what she is wearing ect.
I found this kinda challenging because it's kind of hard to find good words to describe the women with and you have to like put your brain to the test and come up with he's of things and I'm not good at poems so that's even worse but yeah I hope you enjoy ;D

My women's suffrage interview

This is my women's suffrage interview on my nan, we had to do an interview on any woman and ask questions about gender equality and things that relate to gender equality and women's suffrage. Now a days it is more equal then back in the day when men did everything and then the woman stayed home and looked after the kids and did the house chores. Now a days women's are making a name for them self doing what they want not sitting at home doing what men tell them to do. So yeah that's what this interview was for and I hope you like it :)

The life of Dakota: Week 4

The life of Dakota

Week four:
Last weekend my blood sugar level was high and I got so frustrated from them being high because I would give my self 1 extra unit which should make me go down but instead it made go up and so did water and exercise  which should also make me go down. But I thought since I had hot cakes from Mcdonalds(that is a treat to me and I don't have those often) for breakfast and I used maple syrup I thought I just went high from the maple syrup so I was like ok I just need drink a bottle of water and do some exercise so I did that. Then I re-tested and I went higher so I got confused about how I went higher then I got all frustrated which made me kinda stress which make my blood sugar level go high so then I got mad at my-self for going high which would make my blood sugar level also go high but then I thought I just needed to calm down so I don't go higher so I did. But I can't remember if I did 1 unit of insulin to make me go down or what. But I was high for the rest of the weekend so I guess it wasn't the maple syrup and hot cakes that made me go high it's just my high week and I don't know why but I do have weeks when I'm high, low and I have good reading for like they whole week so I guess it's my high week so that sucks. But my blood sugar level this morning was 9.6 and I did 26 lantus and 14 novorapid and I had milo cereal because I love it. So I wonder if my blood sugar level is gonna go high stay the same of go down a bit or low even but I don't think I would, What do you think I will be?

This is my free writing for week 4, I choose this topic because I thought people might want to see how other live their life so here's mine. I found it kinda easy because it's my life so I know what to write, I find kinda hard what do people actually find interesting about my life what do they want to see.

Our assembly

Last week was Room 5/6 (which is my class) assembly and we did a woman suffrage item, switch it down dance, christchurch poems about the Christchurch tragedy :( and we did a song and the is Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. A while ago we learnt all about woman suffrage and we did some poems about invisible woman but they're not actually invisible. We did some Christchurch poems about the tragedy that happened in christchurch and we shared some things that happened and also our feelings so yeah hope you enjoy

The life of Dakota

Week vier (four):
Last week on a Friday night I was wearing my brothers hoodie because I was cold and I didn't have a jersey. So my brother was moaning that he wanted his jersey back I don't know why but that's just how he is, but anyway he was telling me to give it back but I was cold so I didn't want to give it back to him and he should've asked me nicely. But anyways he ripped it off me and when he ripped it off me he ripped my censor off so I have to now finger prick instead of scanning my arm which is much easier. But anyways this morning I had 26 lantus and 12 novorapid and I told my mum should I do more novorapid but she said no because I was 5.4 so she thought I will be alright. But my after reading was 14.6 so I had to go for a run and drink water so yeah that's all for my morning and hopefully I will get a censor soon.

My life week trois (three)

The life of Dakota

Week trois (twa is how you say it) - three

This morning my blood sugar level was 14.7 so I did some exercise and drink my whole bottle of water. 14.7 isn't that good but it's not that bad but you can put down by doing what I did or just have some insulin but you can go down quick so I don't really want to have insulin so I don't have a low maori but that's it for my morning not much to it except I tried to catch a bird because I have a teacher aid and if I catch a bird with my bare hands and it's still alive I get 15 dollars but I don't think I'm gonna catch it but yeah no luck at catching it but oh well bye.

The life of Dakota week dos (two) (;

The life of Dakota

Week dos (two):

This week I was good in the morning 9.6 which is like good compare to it usually is which is what my next reading is but anyways I had nutella on toast and a hot chocolate. But I don't use normal hot chocolate I use weight watchers hot chocolate because it has less sugar and carbohydrates so it's better for me. But sometimes when I have that breakfast sometimes I don't go high and sometimes I go high s yeah I don't have it all the time just when I wake up with a good reading. For insulin I had 25 Lantus and 14 Novorapid so that it would maintain the sugars and the carbs(short for carbohydrates). So I thought it would maintain the the sugars and carbs but then I went up to 15.5 so since I'm at school my mum had to come and bring my insulin to school and have 1.5 insulin(novorapid). I had novorapid because it's short lasting and not long lasting like the lantus. But anyways I had that so I can still have a yum morning tea and lunch. So it would be interesting to see what my lunch time reading is but that's all I have to say hope you have a good week and come back every monday to see what happens (; bye

Inspirational quote

I chose this quote because I always think that I can’t do something because that’s the farthest I can
go or I’m just not good enough but that’s just my thoughts. I need to stop thinking I can’t do something
and just try it, so if your like me do then thing you are afraid to do and if you don't think it's for you that's
alright because now you know

Week tahi:

Hi my name is Dakota and I have type 1 diabetes,How you become a type 1 diabetic is by your pancreas failing if you dont know what a pancreas is look it up. There are a lot of things that you need to remember to do to stay alive. Things such as checking your blood sugar level, doing insulin, checking your ketones, and other things. I am going to tell you about two of the basic things to know, What is a low? a low is when your blood sugar level goes 4.0 or below. If you are 4.0 or below you need to have sugar and carbohydrates, so usually if diabetics have a low they have a juice box and a bar. The way they do it is juice wait 10-15 minutes then test again then if their higher the 4.1 have a bar if they are not they have another juice and so on. If you are high you need to do exercise and drink a lot of water and if their still high they will drop later on or you can give your-self a little bit of insulin so you can drop down. You might be thinking whats the lowest diabetic can go? it's 0.0 if a diabetic reaches 0.0 call the ambulance right away. Then they should have a like EpiPen on them so when they pass out and they can't drink or eat anything you put that in their thigh and give it to them so that they sugar in their body to get them to wake up.You also might be thinking what is insulin? Insulin in what you have in your pancreas to keep you from having diabetes so since type 1 diabetics pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin the doctors give them needle that has insulin in it and they put the needle in their stomach and squirt the insulin in. 

Today I was 20.7 so I had some insulin and ran and I am going to drink my whole water bottle
