Week 9 Term 2

This week has been fun for me, especially today.  We did interhouse Jump Jam today, and we were split into three groups within our houses.  I wasn't in a group though because I was one of the leaders up the front! This morning I woke up with a really sore throat, and I wasn't going to come to school, but I'm glad I did because Waikato won Jump Jam!!!!!  We won by five points, and we were all really happy.  I did 13 songs at Jump Jam today, and I am really tired, but really happy too.  We also had Tech Arts again today for about the first time in three weeks because of the production.  In tech we are making led light creations, and I am making a little box out of plastic and wood for beside my bed, and I can't wait until it is done!

Week 8 Term 2

Our class has been quite small this week because most of the class is at production all week.  Today at singing though, we got to see the final seance of the production, and it was really cool.  We have been doing three main subjects this week, writing, maths, and passion hour.  In maths all we have been learning about is area of composite shapes.  In writing we have been doing a book analysis, the book I did is called Dandelion Clocks, its a really good book actually, but also really sad.  On Wednesday we still got to do Jump Jam, but there wasn't many classes and we didn't go for the golden rock, but it was still fun anyway.  I got to be a leader up the front for Jump Jam and it was really cool, I did swap with Hadlee and Arden half way through Jump Jam, but I still had fun.

Week 7 Term 2

Today we haven't done much, lots of maths though.  We were mean't to have Tech Arts but we couldn't because we had a maths test.  Hadlee and I have started doing dishes on Friday instead of the year 8's, its really easy and kind of fun, but we had to miss out on most of Tech last Friday because we were still getting the hang of it.  We have ICAS Science tomorrow, but I won't be surprised if I don't do well because I don't really know anything about science because we didn't do any science at my primary school.  All the people doing production, not me, are out of the class next week practising so we will have a small class for most of next week.  The people that are in here though, will be doing a book report on a book that we have read, which sounds kind of fun.

Week 6 Term 2

This week has been so much fun!  We started woodwork for Tech on Tuesday, but we didn't do anything, we just talked about important safety equipment and what to do if we burn or cut ourselves.  On Friday we are making spinning tops and its going to be really fun.  In writing we are doing another report, and I am doing hedgehogs, they are really cute!

Week 5 Term 2

Hi Everyone!

This week in Tech Arts we finished art, so we are moving to our next subject, I haven't finished my kiwiana art yet though, but I can go and finish it at lunchtimes during the week.  On Friday, we are starting design,(woodwork,) it's going to be so fun!  

In writing we are doing a penguin report using the notes that we took from a penguin story, it's quite easy and quite fun.

At the moment in maths we have been learning to 'Find the whole of a given fraction'.  It's really easy, all you have to do is this, eg. 4/5 is 120, what is 5/5?  So what you have to do is divide 120 by 4, to get 30, then times it by 5 to get 150 aka 5/5!

This year we have been bringing our own devices, and I have been bringing my tablet that I got for my birthday this year.  It was working really well, until it started glitching!  It has began to glitch really bad, sometimes when I turn it on the screen is white and I can't do anything! Hopefully, I will get it sorted soon and I will be able to use it again.

Week 4 Term 2

Hi Everyone!
This week we haven't been doing much, lots of maths though.  For writing we have to write a memoir, which has to be handed in next week on Monday, I finished mine, I wrote about going out in the cold. ( It was very descriptive)
I had keyboard on Monday, but I accidentally forgot to go, I felt really bad cause I didn't want to waste my mums money, so I went and told her that I was sorry (she forgave me though:)  The rest of the week has pretty much been a blur, everything has been and gone so quickly, hope you all are having a good year!

Week 3 Term 2

On Monday I got my first Shine Band because I got ten respect signatures so now I have a yellow respect band, I'm so happy!
In Tech Arts I am up to painting my kiwiana art, and it's looking really good!  I wasn't here for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week because I was sick, so I missed out on Tech Arts on Friday, which I wasn't happy about, but I'll do it next week!  We are starting design in a few days for Tech Arts, I'm excited, but I don't want to stop art because it's so fun!
