Geometry

Room 22 got to some geometry but first we had to finish off our writing.I got a compass and a piece of paper then I drew 3 big circle and 3 small.It was pretty hard because my compass kept slipping down and making cricked circles but than I had more practice and my circles there looking much much better than before.

After that I colored it in with colored pencils but it wasn’t bright so I used pastels so you could see it.

Finishing so early I cut it out and Ms Tito put it up on the wall so everyone who finished got free time for 30 minutes.I just sorted out my pictures and then I listened to music.

Rugby League session

Room 22 had taken part in Rugby League yesterday.As we walked to the courts we happened to walk pass it because Ms Tito told us to line up but we scattered out like scrabbled eggs.

Then we all saw Sio Siua Taukeiaho from 2011 Vodafone Junior Warriors Squad.The first drill we did was zig zagging round the outside of the cone but we could only go 1 at a time.Henry started of for us and as Henry ran passed and he stepped ran down the pass and touched the line.When it was my turn I was shivering with excitement we got about 2 turns then moved on to the next game.

It was simile to the zig zag game but people where standing next to the cones to make it hard to see.When we went through the cones we cheated a couple of times but we didn’t care.

We played one more game you kicked it and try get the nearest person out or kick and caught.Every time a ball came next to me I moved but then Lepa got me out and I was like oh.Then we played 1 more time more and more people got and it was only Me,Annexe and Maree then Annexe just got Destiny out.

Last week on Thursday the year 7’s & 8’s all went to Tamaki College for the science roadshow to learn about science and it will help us with our topic Bigger,Better,Stronger Faster.

Before we left Ms Tito had split us into 6 groups and I was in Lepa’s group but there were three other people Kaiden,Annexe and Emilee. We lined up into three beautiful straight lines.

When we got there we had to find a seat and watched half of the show.As the show continued it was getting more interesting because Paul and Jan showed us some cool chemical's that were not to be played with.Then Paul burnt something and the fire went straight through.

Then Paul and Jan said we could have a little look around.The first thing I spotted was the walking piano it was pretty cool because when you walked on it the sound of the piano you could actually hear it and the person who put that together was really nice.

Waiting for the next show it was all about sound,sense and taste.Did you know that we have 10,000 taste buds.We were waiting for the winner of the roadshow prize and it was Awhina and Angelea.

What I liked about the Science roadshow was the inventions.

Swimming

For the last 2 weeks our whole senior block have been going swimming down at the GI pools.We went at 1.55 or 1.15 at lunch time when the bell nearly went Ms Tito told us to get ready and put our togs on.Then we had to walk down to the pools with room 20 but some people got left behind because they were not in the right place at the right time.

Miss Dempester was my swimming teacher in the big pool.First we had to do 4 laps of free-styling.We went one at a time so we didn't crash into one another so Miss Dempester told the fast people to go first.Just because it was the last day of swimming I thought we would have free time but no we had to do 5 laps then we had free time for 7 minutes or more.

I think swimming was a great opportunity because we need to learn how to swim and survive the seas and if was free too.

Taonga Time

Every Friday for hour and a half our 7's and 8's have Taonga time. Taonga is a maori word and it means treasure time why do we go where? It’s because we get to learn about our teacher’s different passion and get to do very fun stuff with teachers.


There are very different groups by different teachers .Some groups are Team building, Music,Ict,Sports and Kapa Haka.

Kapa Haka was the name of my group.Every one in our group loves Kapa Haka because that’s there passion about it.


How do I feel?I really like being in Kapa Haka because we get to perform in front heaps of people and also get to learn new waiata’s but also I like meeting new people and being with a awesome teacher Ms Tito.

Creativity

This term we are learning all about creativity.Creativity means creating something with your own imagination or copying someone's but putting more detail into that design.

Term One reflection

One of the things I was pleased about last term was my Artwork.My report results were pretty awesome I got excellent for Art,behaviour and my academic progress i got good.Next time I know i can do better .As my mum reed it me and her were really disappointed!


I need to improve on being focus more because I get nervous and don’t finish of my work and walk around and get put off when ever Ms T says” time to share it with me I have nothing to share with she.So next time my mum will see I’d finished my work of properly and smile at me!


How did my term go?It was amazing because I had met new people and made heaps of friends in my class and don’t forget my awesome teacher Ms Tito.Its really not what i was hoping for but its way better then I thought .So when I get my big report my mum will read it and smile at me!So that’s what my term was like?

These are my DLO results:
