Week 5 Reflection

Last week we didn't do much because we had people out of class because there were people at sports camp and people at Murray's Bay. I was sadly not involved in any of these things sadly. Instead of going to these things we also did some pretty cool things. For me the most exciting thing that we did all week was doing a reading task. What this was where we got assigned a type of language for example Oxymoron's, Allusions  and a few more then we got split into pairs but we never got to choose. I had Te Wehi and we got assigned Oxymoron's. I thought that it was really hard at first because I had no idea what an oxymoron was but now I understand. We also did a bit of maths we did some learning about 2D shapes and what some different angles were. I learnt that a scalene triangle is where no sides are the same they are all UN equal. We also did robotics the whole time I was stuck on the orchard challenge because it doesn't like me because I got the whole way round but it ...

Week 4 Reflection

Last week we finished off our maths work on area, perimeter and volume. On Friday we had a test to reflect on what we have learnt. The test had questions that we had to convert like meters into centimetres and other ones like that. We also had word problems that we had to solve using our knowledge on area and perimeter. On Monday at assembly I got my bronze badge and I was so excited when I got it I couldn't believe that I was the second year 7 to get it.😀😀 On Friday for tech arts we started to make our bags I got up to sewing the sides with a zigzag stitch. The design that I am doing is three hearts that are different colours, the colours that I am using for my hearts are blue pink and purple the bag is going to be black and the handle is going to be lime green.😄 On Tuesday for tech arts since I had finished my pillow case I got to be creative and make anything I wanted so I decided to make a wallet that was attached with a Velcro lid. Once I did that I decided to make a hear...

Week 3 Reflection

Last week we did a lot of things my favorite thing was robotics because I got to start building a robot. The robot that I was working what we had to do was go through the whole book and build each individual thing. For the whole day I was working on it because I had caught up on all of my work I got up to building the claw so you could pick up things. During tech arts we are finishing off our pillows I have finished mine. I made my pillow for my brother the design that I chose to put on it was a minion the background color is bright orange. and around the border I have done words that represent him in his own way. During maths last week we have been doing Pi and finding the circumference and the area I thought that it was fun.Last week we also did the first aid course this is were a St John member came to our school and talked to us about CPR. Our instructor was Daniel we first talked about some steps that you do if you see someone hurt. We then got split into four groups and went and ...

Week 2 Term 3

Last week Mrs Crowe came back from being sick during last week we caught up on a lot of work but the main thing that we did was perimeter.  The best thing about perimeter is that all you have to do is add up the sides and you have your answer. To find a side of a shape that doesn't have a number what you want to do is add up the opposite side and that answer then becomes the missing number.We also did robotics what we did were some challenges. Once we had completed the challenges we were aloud to build a robot and try to figure out how it worked. I only got a few challenges left before the bell rang. I was stuck on the orchard challenge the whole morning because I discovered that you can be a few metres away from hitting anything but you end up hitting it anyway IT SUCKS.
