End of the Term reflection

End Of The Term Reflection

IALT: Write a reflection about this term

This term was crazy, we had a lot of fun adventures this term like the sleepover/team building, Fa'afiu leaving, new students and student leaders. Wow it was just incredible. The most fun thing that I enjoyed would be the Sleepover when we had to go to the Pools and do team building stuff and when we slept over at school. Another thing that happened was the Cricket and Volleyball tournament, I really liked it but unfortunately I did not go. Another thing I enjoyed was making ANZAC biscuits

The whole point of doing team building is to build positive friendships with each other and also to bond with each other. Also it was for our class to get to know each other. 

I wish that next term will be even better than this term and that we get to do more fun things nex term.

Hard Materials

Hard Materials

Today in Hard Materials I am on the part how I am making my 

wood works, as if you guys don't know what I am making, I am making a wooden Piano. The part that I am working on are my joints, the reason why we do joints is because so they have a good fit and they won't break. Then we had to make sure that our piece of wood would fit into the joint. If the piece of wood fitted into the joint we had to do the other part of the joint. 

Once you are finished doing your joints it is time to move on with gluing the parts together and to wait for them to dry out. Then it was now time to pack to go back to our school. This was our last day of Technology put after the school we will be having four more weeks to complete what we are doing in Hard Materials.

Auckland's Wonders

AUCKLAND'S WONDERS

Animal Town

Animal Town

Just Imagine a Mysterious place named Animal town, There was a place for animals to be free. As we are driving and I can hear sounds like an Elephant and a Lion Roaring like it was the king of the Village. “I see Animal town” I said to my parents, “Wow it really is Animal Town” Said Dad. When we got there it was filled with wonderest animals, some we have seen and some we haven’t seen, My heart filled up with joy. There was birds flying everywhere, it was like a dream.

As I got out of the car I see Gorillas eating food like they were waiting for this moment there whole life and Birds chirping away. I see Zebra’s, Giraffes, Gorilla’s, Bear’s and other wonderest animals. As I am a big fan of Animals it is like a dream come true.

Technology

IALT: Reflect on what we did in Technology!

Last Thursday we went to Technology, In Technology we swapped our groups and we were in graphics but we also changed into hard materials. On the first day we met our teacher Mr Grundy he was nice, he taught use the rules that we had to obey in the Hard materials class. Such as go to the toilet before you come into the class and to make sure that you wear covered shoes and come into the class with a positive attitude. 

Mr Grundy told us that we will be doing Silhouette necklaces I was really excited to make Silhouette necklaces because I have never made necklaces before, And he also said that the year 7 are going be making wooden toys next year. 

Poetic Writing

Poetic Writing

Kia ora in the kia manawanui syndicate did a poem about natural disasters my natural disaster was Tsunamis, I chose Tsunamis because I felt that it would of had a lot of effect to it and it would interesting to see other people's opinions when they are reading it. I also think that it is great to see people get inspired by it.

Abstract Art

WAL:How to make something abstract

In the Kia manawanui syndicate, we learnt about what abstract art is and we have to pick a image to do between a smartphone, Computer and the PSVita that was on the screen.

With the image that we chose between those images we had to add colour that represents the object that we had chosen to make it more abstract and we also had to angle the picture out to make it more abstract as well.

Inquiry Why were Mobile Phones invented

 Why were Mobile Phones invented?

IALT:Figure out why Mobile phones were invented?

Why were phones invented, well phones were invented because people were getting bored and people weren't entertained. So that is why people invented phones, the first phone that was invented on March 10, 1876 and it was made by Alexander Graham Bell and he won the first U.S. patent for the device in 1876.

Forming Opinions

Forming Opinions

WALA: The importance of forming a opinion/having a opinion.

Today in the Kia manawanui syndicate we had to have a debate, about statements and to make sure that we state a reason why we agreed or disagreed with that statements. I found that it was hard to debate with some of the other students because they would state there reason and it would be harder to reply back because of the words they said.

As we were debating we had to persuade people to agree with our statement. And when we were discussing our opinions we had a little debate between our little group and it was really confusing for me too. one of the statements that we got was about allowing to drive at the age of 10 years old. And I disagreed with this statement because some people at the age of 10 wouldn't be able to drive because of there age and there height, and there only children.

But the one that I really debated on was There should be no school rules, with this statement I disagreed because people would throw rubbish everywhere and our school would get polluted
