Week 4

This Monday I found out I am room three class counselor! At assembly I got a badge that says Te Awamutu Intermediate school Student Counselor. On stage the house captains were announced while the counselors were still on stage and when I was clapping my badge fell off... oops.

On Tuesday I cut out my design for my sweatshirt. This took a lot of patience. I then sewed it on wrong so I learnt how to fix it.

During maths I did factors, HCF, LCF, and prime factors. I had forgotten what a composite number is so I had to re-learn that and also haw to use a factor tree which took me a while.

We have to write an explanation about one of the wonders of the world there are 7 wonders of the, Medieval world, Modern world, Ancient world and the Natural world. I am writing about the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I learnt that the tower is a bell tower for one of the cathedrals. It has seven bells each tuned to a note of the musical scale. It used to have the title of building on the biggest lean when it was 5.5 degrees off true but after some builders straightened the dirt underneath it it is not only 3.7 degrees of true. From the information I found out about the leaning tower of Pisa I have only written the facts I find most interesting because if I wrote everything I would be here all day writing them out!!!!

On Friday I went to leadership day at Albert park. This was run by team energize or sport Waikato. I learnt a lot of important qualities that a leader has to have.

Goodbye for now. :)

Week 3

Hello,

I finished my visual language on Tuesday.

Visual language is a collage about your past present and what you want for your future. With an A3 piece of card or paper you cut out pictures and words from magazines and also print out some. Then you glue them all over the paper. We then had to write about what is on the board and glue that onto the back. It is still weird with out last years year eights but the year sevens are nice. On Wednesday I found out that I have been selected to be part of the tough guy and gal challenge. This is pretty much a mud run. You have to crawl through mud and I think it will be very fun. I have a few friends that are also taking part in this event. I wont be until term two though. On Friday in fabric I had to cut out my jersey. I found that very difficult but I finished in the end. For Friday sport I had training for tough guy gal challenge and I think that it is definitely going to be a "challenge"!

Bye!!!!!!

Start Of Year Reflection

  

I still cant believe its 2017 already!! Last year went so fast. This year started on Wednesday 1st of February. We started off with a powhiri were we welcomed the year sevens and any new year eights. That afternoon there was a short assembly before the school was split into three groups, cyclists walkers and busses. These groups were to tell the school the rules on what you can and cant do after school. During the assembly before this Emily, Emma and I went into the office to look after it while the office ladies talked at assembly. I learnt how to answer the phone if someone rings and what to say when someone comes in. On Thursday morning there was senior band. The band looks so small with out all of last years year eights. After morning tea some of the school (including room 3) had Selma testing. I scored 96. Waitangi day was Monday 6 of February so there was no school that day. Tuesday started with an assembly so we missed out on tech arts. We did tech on Friday though and that was very fun. The year eights are doing fabric and next week we get to start making our jerseys! 

Goodbye for now.
