My Goal

My goal Reflection

      

For this week this is the goal for me and my class is working on

I can make positive choices that are right for my OWN learning

How I have been doing on my goal this week:

For this week making positive choices has been great because  I have been sitting by myself instead of my lunch friends and getting a lot more done. So far I have finished a few more pages ahead on my AWS, I have started to paint on my vision board and I am close to Finishing my IE. I made this choice because When I was sitting with my friends I didn't get much done but this week it has been amazing!!! =)

Easter Surprises

        

It was a bright and sunny day, The morning was cold with a sweet smell. I crawl out of bed and walk into the living room, my brother sits on the couch watching cartoons (as always) I walk in and sit down beside him staring into the T.V. After a few cartoons Louise comes in. She wears a fluffy white gown and her hair in a rough bun. She asks us if we had breakfast I felt alright because Tyne didn’t have breakfast but Tyne says yes I thought how? Then I remembered he woke up before me. Louise got in a little fuss and says you know you're supposed to have breakfast and blah blah blah you know what I mean, right.

When dad wakes up and comes in the living room I had my breakfast and was dressed when dad says we have to chop wood because it needed to be done. We used a machine to chop the wood for us, dad placed the wood in place then pulled a lever he kept chopping the wood until it was the right size when it was chopped and the right size I chucked it into the wheelbarrow then Tyne placed it into the shed. We had to do this for a few hours before our easter hunt. Then the time came and it was over YAY! We knew that Louise was setting out the easter hunt. We do believe in the easter bunny but dad says he shot it so Louise does it.

We had 12 questions each some were backwards some were words some were even numbers let's just say there were lots of different questions. For some of them we had to go outside and for some of them we had to stay inside. I would say most questions were in my bed. When we found our questions there were either a little DIY chicken or a mini easter egg. My last and final question was outside in my birdhouse where I found my large easter bunny. Saddly he had a whole in his head so he was in a plastic bag. Later on we made an easter hunt for Dad and louise, I had lou lou and gave her a white chocolate easter bunny.

My costume IE

For my IE my topic is Costumes and I am investigating about everything about costumes like what costumes in movie were like 100 years ago and is it costumes when you just wear clothes etc. What I am most excited about my IE is creating and sharing because I am creating a costume and a video through the process.

My news Lucky toddler gets trapped in a candy machine!?!

The lucky toddler Colen stone got trapped in a candy machine, I can tell what your thinking your probably thinking lucky, I wish I was him well... he was a bit to young and didn't know what candy was so he just sat in there. When his mother realised she got in a big panic and asked the owner of the arcade if he could get him out, the owner tried and failed then the owner asked the guy who owned the machine but he lost the keys the tried to open the machine convince him to crawl out but no. Soon the toddler started freaking out so his mum at leased convinced him to have two lolly pops. Later on the owner had an idea he decided to call a locksmith and luckily he just pried open the the glass to get the toddler out YAY!!

My weekly news ocean rubbish bin invented!

My story is from Kiwi Kids news

Have you ever thought about or hated that people don't care about the sea and just  chuck their rubbish in the ocean well two surfers did and they did something about it. They made it because It was annoying for them while they surf but it also helps the marine life too! Because most of the marine animals are at risk because of littering in the sea. What the Bin does is that it has this sucking mahine inside it so it pull all the rubbish in the water in. The surfers also hope the bin can protect the sea because studies show that an average of 8 million tonnes of rubbish is thrown into the sea every year! I think this invention is amazing because It helps the environment and it helps marine life.

I wonder… will this machine help get rid of the 8 million tonnes or not? hmmmmmm.

Three Main words from this article is.......

Marine,littering and environment

My theme song

 For my theme song I had to chose a part of a song that represented me I chose this song because It tells you to be strong, creative and stand up for your self.

My multiple intelligences

        

This is my multiple intelligences results. I did a test about things I like and don’t like to do.

When I got my results I never knew how bad I was at music and my picture smarts. But what I did find out was that my Nature smarts was pretty high! But my best as you can see is that my people smarts is my best skill.

When I thought about about the test is true because I do NOT like working by myself but I like working with others. Because now I know what i'm good at and not so good at I can practise what I need to work on.

Welcome back 2016

This year I am going to try and do office duty and maybe rugby just for a little change, to shake things up.

At first when I was a Marama student I felt weird, scared but excited at the same time? I felt these feeling because last year I was a year six in a different class room and now I’m a year seven in a whole new classroom with new teachers and new students. It just feels weird but cool at the same time.

A goal for me this year would be to get better at my math and make even more friends because last year I was not the best at math and I want to make more friends because lots of my friends were year five’s and now i’m in a different classroom.

Last year I was really good at my reading and book club but this year I want to read even more because when I read a book it feels like im in a whole new world acting out as the people that I read in my book it just feels amazing! But my favourite books to read are the Paul gennings uncollected series.

Then we had a big trifle that mum made and some potato salad, a big leg of ham, grape juice and some pavlova.

Maths Review

This year I have enjoyed doing maths with Mrs Taaffe with her amazing mathematical skills. I am in the Fozzies group with Brook, Kate, Alyson, Ashling, Georgia, Elizabeth, Alexa, Scarlett and me. During this year I have improved in my fractions, decimals, tree graphs and drawing 3-D shapes. I have enjoyed working and collaborating with my group mates because we can help each other and give each other advice, and I like having just girls in the Fozzies group plus this year I have achieved my goal that I set last year about learning my fractions.  and every thing about them.

Impact is when there are many groups and you work in one group the whole year, I'm in the Outside Gallery group and in our group we work on one art project the whole year. This year we are are making four murals representing our syndicates. In our school we have four syndicates which are Moana, (the sea) Whenua, (the land) Whetu (the stars) and Marama (the moon). The mural I'm working on is Whetu. On the mural I'm working on is a big tree, the seven sisters, the moon, the words Whetu and the stars.

Labour Day Holiday

Labour Day
Labour day is a special when every one who works gets a day off. Including schools, office's, café's etc. The word Labour day honers the struggle of an eight hour working day. New Zealand workers were the first in the world to claim the right when, in 1840 when Samuel Parnell won an eight hour day in Wellington. Labour day was first celebrated in New Zealand on 28 October 1890.

iDrive

Today at iDrive I used fun at carpentry. In carpentry I made a Jewellery rack and an iPhone six. To make the jewellery rack I got a piece of wood and sawed it to size. Next I hammered some nails into it for the hooks. Then I painted it with some bright colours.  

   
After I made my Jewellery rack I had ten to fifteen minutes left so I made myself an iPhone! To make the I phone I sawed it to size, sanded it then put vivid on it.
