Kiwi Can Reflection

Today after morning tea room 10 had Kiwi Can in room 11 with Mr Numia and Miss Tuia. Our theme in Kiwi Can is respect. First we started off with our energiser. Our energiser was an instruction game. We were split up in groups of 4-5. One person from a group was a leader, there job was to go up get instructions and tell the group. After our energiser we talked about Respect and what it is. Next we finally did our activity. Our activity was ‘Human knot’. Mr Numia separated the class into 2 groups. Human knot was very fun. My team had untangled ourselves easily. But the other team took for ages to untangle. Finally we were finished. We finished our session off with GKQ. Mr Numia gave us our points and then we said goodbye and came back to room 10.

Technology!

This morning the year 7-8 from Glenbrae School went to Tamaki College for technology. The year 8 students have graphics with Mr Pineda. Today we drew stencils for our t-shirts! 

Dance Fever!

After Morning tea, Room 10 had Dance Fever! This was our first lesson in Dance Fever today because we had gone to camp last week. Today we learn't two dances, a Hip Hop dance and a Samba. We had a girl instructor and a boy instructor, Miss Rach was the girl and Lutenist was the boy. 3 girls and boys were picked to go up and demonstrate how to dance with a partner when we do the Samba dance. My experience in Dance Fever was awesome. 

Maths Lesson.

Today we had a maths problem we had to solve. The maths problem was,

 Marilyn needs to fertilise her front lawn. It measures 20m x 35m. Each bag of fertilise that she plans to use covers approximately 200m2. How many bags should she buy?

My strategy was, 20m x 35m = 700m.  In each bag = 200m2. So if you buy 4 bags that is 800m2. But you need 700. If you half on of the bags in the 4 bags. You will have 100. 100 + 600 = 700m. She needs 3 1/2 bags of fertilise to cover her front lawn.

Today I learn't how to solve it with new strategies. Like place value partitioning.

My Nature Poem.

Feel the breeze of the wind blowing my hair everywhere.
Looking around seeing the birds soar through the clouds.
Trees as tall as the sky tower.
Pigeons sitting on the roof top looking down at us.
100 bare skeletons stuck in the field.
Everything so silent, only the sound of nature I hear.
As we lay on the hard blue sea, looking at the sky.
I think, what a beautiful world this is.

Paint your life.

Life is like a piece of art,

It requires lots of heart.

Choose your paint and your brush,

Take your time, avoid the rush.

Before you paint, choose your theme,

Don't be afraid, to follow your dream.

It's alright, to make a mistake.

Your painting is real, it's not fake.

Look at your painting, don't be crying,

Begin again, keep on trying.

Your painting is never fully complete,

Enjoy the process, make sure it's sweet.
