2018 Highlights

Highlights

Next year I will be going to intermediate I am going to be going to campion college. Here are two academic highs, to highs, and a goal for next year.

Two academic highs for me this year are math and reading. I chose math and reading because I find math really fun and it feels nice when I finish a question that I have been working really hard on. Also, I think that I have become more confident in it. I chose reading because I have read some really good books this year and the reading tasks that we do in class make make me understand the book more, and I usually learn something new. Two highs for me this year would have to be P.E and art. I chose P.E because I find P.E really fun and I got to play some new games that I really enjoy such as coney island and corner ball. I chose art because I think that we have done some cool art this year and I really enjoy art. A goal for me next year is being more organised by having what I need when I need it. Another goal is believing in myself a lot more.

Athletics

This week we had athletics. We did high jump (optional), long jump , sprints, ball throw. I had a lot of fun doing the rotations. My favorite one was long jump. Here is a picture of sprints.

Unexpected Visitor

Today we had a unexpected visitor and it was Meng Foon the mayor of Gisborne. He came in because he didn't know that we had cancelled our open day at the Hamunatua stream. We told him about what we had been doing in our groups. My group told him why we had planted harakeke under the bridge. We planted harakeke because if any one fell of their bike they wouldn't fall in the river instead they would fall on the flax bush. This is a photo of my class with Meng Foon.

My Speech

For the last 2 weeks in room 1 we have been writing our speeches. This week we have been sharing them. I was really nervous to share mine. After the whole class shares their speeches some of us go to the semi finals and then the finals. Here is my speech topic.

Holiday Slow Write

     After the holiday room 1 wrote a slow write about what they did in the holiday. First we shared the main thing that we did with a buddy. Next we did a draft and then we published it onto our blogs.
Here is mine, I hope you enjoy

Mahia Fun

       "Woohoo!" I feel happy that we're finally here.

I could taste the salty air as I walked down a path that leads to the beach.

I could hear waves crashing. Quickly I ran towards the water.

“Whats for lunch?”my sister asked. Although it was a little windy, I was still having fun.

The shiny, glimmering, blue sea looked beautiful. Why is it that we have to leave so soon?

I had such a fun time “Yay!!!”

With Good Friends We Have Hope

Learning Intention: I am sharing my thoughts about bullying at school

I choose this quote because I think it's a good example of bullying and because you should ignore the bullies.

                         

The paper chain around the wall is were all of our class put ideas on what would you do if someone was being bullied and what could you do to stop bullying. on the what would you do if someone was being bullied piece of the chain I put if someone was being bullied I would tell the bullie to stop and if the dont I would tell a teacher or a trusted adult.

Reading wheels

This week in room 1 we made reading wheels They are based on a book we have read. The first illustrashion is based on the main character. The second one is based on the setting and the third one is based on your favorite part. The first text is about a character. The second is about the plot and the third is about your favorite part. my reading log is about a rainbow magic fairy. Alexandra The Royal Baby Fairy by daisy meadows.
