Shaping up (hurumanu 3)

 Hello everyone, It is almost the end of term 2 and our class has to make a summary of Shaping Up (Hur3).

This term for Hurumanu 3 we have been doing lots of things including: geometry, polygons, lines, angles, rotation, reflection, rotation, nets, scales and maps!

Lines and Angles 

We had to identify the different types of lines and angles and the names of them, for example one of the lines were called parallel lines which were 2 lines with the same length and angle and have the same distance apart.


Reflection, Rotation and Translation 

 on this one we had to do a couple of activities, for reflection we had to go on this site called Maths is Fun and learn what reflection was then once we read all of the information from the site there was 10 question about reflection we had to answer then we had to draw reflected shapes. After completing all of the activities on reflection we had to carry on with the other ones: Rotation and Translation (they were the same as the reflection activities). 



My favourite one was Maps! we had to learn where things were on a grid and find out what was the name and many more things. Term 2 was by far the best term so far! (even though it went by so fast) 

Thank you for reading this have a good day or night goodbye <3

How to be Normal

 Hello everyone, today in Hurumanu 1 (outstanders) I was working on the reading activities my teacher assigned for us, the story is How to be Normal. 

How to be Normal Activities 


  1. Who banged into Charley? - Micheala banged into Charley. 


  1. “Charleys at… more relaxed”. What is the main message/purpose of this paragraph? How does the author create this mood? What does it teach us about Charley? - it shows that Charley prefers to go inside the library then going outside. 


  1. What impression does the author want to give you about Charley? How do you know? - Charley is more of an introvert than an extrovert (she likes to be alone). 


  1. Why is Charley angry at Amy? Do you think that she is right to be angry?  Why/why not? - Charley didnt have to be mean to Amy, in my point of view i wouldve just said thank you, Amy was just trying to help Charley. 


  1. Find a range of words and phrases to show how Charley is feeling throughout the story. 


  • Outcast - getting rejected out of a group

  • Introvert - prefers to be alone rather than socializing.

  • Lonely - feeling friendless/alone 


Exploring Language

What do these words mean? Find a definition for each one and use it in a sentence.

  1. Screeches - to cry out loud in pain 

  2. Apologise - to say sorry about something you regret doing. 

  3. Intently - to do something attentively/eagerly 


You hear screeches from the house beside you, you decide to knock on their door and see what's happening, the owner opens the door and explains why there was screeching and they apoligise intently.


Write 3 sentences about the story using these words: 

  1. They’re 

  2. There 

  3. Their 


There - there was a girl named Charley who didnt wanna go outside and play with others she would get picked on.

Their - The class is opening their books to the page Mr Bennett wrote on the whiteboard. 


They’re - When she gets nearer to the classroom, she sees the door’s shut and walks quicker. Now she can see through the windows and they’re all at their desks. 


There - Everyone looks at Charley as she makes her way to her desk, she has to weave her way there. 


Adjectives in order. 


  • Best

  • Better 

  • Chewed-up 

  • Closed 

  • Long 

  • Old 

  • Quiet 

  • Relaxed

  • Weird 

  • Worst 


Why do you think we gave you this article to read as a part of Outstanders Hurumanu? Write a paragraph explaining your ideas and giving evidence from the story. 


I think the reason why this was one of the articles was because it was a part of the Outstanders hurumanu and the article is kind of relating to not being a bystander but being a Outsander. 


Thank you for reading this! have a good day or night ciao!
