Move your body activity

Learning about moving your body is not just by using your body it's also about your mind too. Today for inquiry Room 3 did an activity where we had to pick one person from our team to do a stacking cup competition with our other classmates. The four kids that were nominated to do the competition was Adrienne, Santana, Chastyi and Jayden. They were timed to see who is the fastest and Chastyi won. (Time: Chastyi-9.90s, Santana-14.96s, Jayden-15.76s, Adrienne- 21.32s.

I learned today that when someone is forced to do something they are not comfortable with I should encourage them so they have the confidence to do it. I also learned that when I fail I should keep on Preserving. 

Team 5 EXPO Experience

       EXPO

Team five decided to do an EXPO to show to Pt England School. The reason why is because
we needed to teach the younger students about Force and Motion. Teaching makes you a
better learner.

Our group had more than two ideas, our first idea was to do a catapult, another idea we
had in mind was to do an egg in the water experiment.

For our project we wanted to do the egg in the water experiment. The reason why we
wanted to do this experiment was because it looked fun, and we wanted to test it out,
and that it concludes Force & Motion.

Our group failed because we didn’t have the equipment. But we really wanted to do the
EXPO with the other Yr 7 & 8 so hopefully we can do it next time.

When we have another EXPO our group should have the right equipment, and to be ready
to present what we have learned to the Pt England Students.

My week of school

Monday:
On Monday the 28th of May the Year 7 and 8's gathered together in the Street for the usual morning assembly. This week is special because it's Samoan Language week so the Year 7 and 8 girls decided to put together a item for our school assembly on Friday. When it was Lunch-time all the girls that volunteered to participate came up with a dance to match our song Lau Samoa.
Tuesday:
Tuesday is the day the Year 8's go down to Tamaki College for TECH. When we went down to Tamaki College my group, Rua, had to go to Music. Some things we did while in Music room was we got the opportunity to learn how to play Guitar and Piano.

My first week of School

It was time to go back to school and my first two days back was a blast!! My home room is Room 3
and my teacher is Mrs Tele’a, but unfortunately she had to look after her baby so we have two
georgeous teachers Mrs Sio and Mrs Salu filling in
for her for the first two terms of school.

The first day back from school me and the other prefects had to get ready for the first school
assembly as the new leaders of 2018. The first time standing up there in front of the school
was both scary and exciting. Once the school assembly was finished the Year 8’s went back
to the Team 5 block to welcome the Year 7’s.

The second day back, everybody just stayed in their home class and learned about the
Treaty of waitangi. Once we were finished with the Treaty of Waitangi our class made a Treaty or Rules
to care for our Classroom.

One thing that I learned this week was how to do many sort of artwork and I also learned some of my
classmates names. Some things I want to archive next week is to be a good role model and to do good
both in Maths and Reading.

Fractions Practice

WALT- Revise and Remember our knowledge on fractions
Today I worked these fraction Problems out. Mrs Tele'a's maths class group Tapaono's week 2 activity is about fractions. On this presentation it has problems where you have identify fractions, adding fractions and simplifying fractions, and this helped me improve my knowledge about fractions.
