2015 Reflection

This year I did my learning with Mrs Parker in a netbook classroom using Google Drive.

Having a netbook made it easier to do my learning and achieve my goals.

This year I learned about dinosaurs and planets

I did research on life on Neptune, I found out there is rings around Neptune. I also learned about ANZAC soldiers.

The thing I enjoyed learning about the most was doing Maths card games where we have to practice our making the number of the card up to ten, This game was good because it can help us learn our basic facts.

I still want to learn more about space because I want to know how hot it is on Mars and put the NZ flag down on the moon like an astronaut.

The class trip I enjoyed most this year was the stardome trip because we went there to learn about space and there was a park with a flying fox.

I am proud of the way I sometimes finish off my work.

Next year I am going to come back to school with good manners and finish all of my work.

                 

Today my beautiful teacher Mrs Parker shared her baking with whittaker’s chocolate company on twitter. They were impressed with her baking and sent her a box of sample chocolates for us to try. First we held the chocolate in our hand and we looked at the wrapper. It was small. Next we unwrapped it and smelt it. I felt like eating it right then. We got to nibble it, like take a little bit. Then we had to leave the chocolate inside our mouth until it melt and after that we ate it all it was yummy. and there were hokey pokey If I could create any flavour in the world it would be milky chocolate and tangy apple. It would be a gooey apple filling and  feel like a yummy tangy  apple that has just fallen off the tree. I bet my chocolate will be yummy!

pixels

In the holiday, my brother and  I went to Hoyts Cinemas to watch a movie called Pixels. Before we went into the theatre my mum bought some popcorn so we could eat during the movie. Then we went inside the theatre. I loved watching pixels because all my favourite arcade games were in the movie like PacMan and Donkey Kong.

When the movie finished my mum and dad were waiting outside for my brother and I. After that we went to Wendy’s, we ate burgers, fried chips and drank coke. The food was very yummy.

Afterwards we went back home and watched rugby.  I enjoyed my holidays and it was very fun.

what am i grateful for

This year I am grateful for coming second in high jump and grateful that my team came second in rugby, and helping my mum with her work.

When i came second in high jump, it was hard  because when you make it over, it goes higher and higher. Then when it came higher i failed jumping over the bamboo. I had fun doing it and I am grateful for coming second in high jump.

When my rugby team came second we were happy and  all of the teams we played had fun.  We were passing the ball not being greedy. With the ball you need to let someone that has never had a run have a turn with the ball. Some of the team were good we only  lost twice  but we still had fun playing rugby.

I am proud of the way I help my mum. Sometimes when me and my mum go shopping, i help her find and carry the food. When we get home I take down the washing and set up the table so we can eat.

This year I achieved coming first in high jump and rugby and helping my mum and by December I what to achieve listing to the teacher and be a good learner.   

       

Preparing for Cross Country

Today Room 7 students went out for fitness. Before we ran two laps, we had to stretch. First we jogged and then we had to sprint. It was cold, muddy and wet so I got goosebumps. We were a bit scared to run around the field because it was really big. Room 10 was also there doing laps, but they did even more! As I ran in front of my friend, the wind blew through my ears. When we were finally done, everyone sat down, cooled down and had a drink of water. I felt refreshed but I was tired.

Balloon game

Balloon game recount

Today Room7 went to fitness to play a balloon game. First it was the boys turn to was play the balloon game. It was exciting because we had to get into a circle and had to hold the hand of the person next to you. While we were playing, the girls did laps around the court. In the game, you had to hit the balloon and keep it in the air without touching the ground. Your partner and you had to smack the balloon

The balloon went into the air and we kept it up and did not let it touch the ground.  After that we played again and I fell on the ground. After the  boys had their turn, the girls had their turn at playing with the balloon.

Simeon and I had a race and did some exercises, we ran around the netball court. When the girls were playing, the balloon went to the bush and the balloon popped.  After the balloon popped Room 7 went to class and I wanted to play the game again next time.

Actions Speak Louder

How does our actions speak louder than words? Actions do not speak like we do.

When you line up to go to basketball and you change your behaviour like when you’re naughty and you change to being good.  Your actions are like when you came back from school you and you throw your bag and your mum says pick up your bag and you say ok mum.
If you don’t, that means your voice speaks louder than your actions, but to make our actions speak louder we need to pick our bag shirat away

Bio poem about myself

Bio poem

Vainikolo

Kind, friendly and respectful

Lover of Nike, rugby and WWE

Who wonders how to make a cake, cup-cakes and chocolate

Who fears guns, huge spiders and looking up at tall trees

Who feels thankful

Who is able to climb small trees, eat food and swim

Who would like to play touch, travel and race

Who dreams of going to college, being a zombie and meet a Scary clown

i learned how to write a bio poem about myself. I found it difficult writing about myself in a cool way.
