Test Are beginning!!

This week we sat our tests and nearly everyone of us were nervous because we didn't know there was going to be a test. The subjects of the tests were maths and spelling. For the maths test we were given two minutes to complete the sheet. There were four maths sheets which were separately handed out. They were multiplication, division, subtraction and addition. For spelling Mr Reid just pronounced the word and we had to spell it. I was shaking but I tried my BEST!!

Goals For Term 4! 😊

Today we are writing up our goals. We had to do a goal for every subject except inquiry. My personal  aim is to concentrate on my education because next year I will be going to college. My reading goal is read more often at home, my writing goal is to use more academic words in my writing and my maths goal is to show evidence when solving problems. I'm going to  try and achieve my goals  and be BETTER THAN BEFORE!!

Fitness Was A Disaster

Today is a new week and for every week our fitness changes. For this week's fitness we are doing relays. Because the year 7 & 8's were disorganised, and didn't order the teammates and telling them how to do it, the year fives and sixes were standing there looking around  figuring out who to pass the baton to. They didn't know who their teammates were before they left for the field. But we will be trying again tomorrow and it fails we will be doing Ms Riley's fitness which is circuits. But at least tomorrow we can try to be successful and be better than before.

First Tech Of Term 4

On Wednesday the year 7 and 8 students went to Tamaki College for Technicraft. We are with Mr Grundy and we are learning how to cut glass and to make stain glass. There are many types of wounds you can get when your with him that's why we have to act two years up from our age because if we are silly you don't know what will happen. When we first changed class rooms we had to learn all the rules for his room and how to use the tools then we had to practice on a plane glass and draw designs to deal with the different colored glass. It's fun but dangerous inside Mr Grundy's workshop.

Our Science Experiment 😐😃

Today we had science and we were trying to combine colours by spinning the wheel extremely fast. The circle had to be coloured in two colours on each side. One of the combinations were dark blue and dark green.  A new colour was created by spinning fast. Because human eyes can't keep up with the spin,  it changes colour. It was cool seeing different colours. They were primary colours but then it changed into secondary colours like purple for example. It was amazing doing it because other people were smiling and enjoying science.

Making A Movie😁

For the past few weeks some of the classes have been trying to create a movie. My class's movie is about How To Be A Good Rugby Player. Nearly two times a week we go out to film. While we are doing that the rest of the children have to be absolutely quietly so that we can focus and get the filming done. I think that the idea is excellent because it's about the New Zealand history.

Orienteering 😫

Today was extremely entertaining because Leon (orienteering teacher) came into our class to teach us the symbols and other stuff. Now we are receiving a map and a clip card. You have to run around with the clip card,  stamp the letter andread a map that tells you where to go. At first  I believed that it would be  hard but at the end it actually  seemed a lot easier.  I still managed to do it. It was tiring but fun. 😁
