2014

2014

This year was a Blast! I had fun each term. This year for 2014 I was in room 12. Through out the whole year I made a lot of friends, like A LOT!

In term 1 and 2 we played a lot of sports at the inter schools. We pretty much won most of the competitions. I participated in most of the sports and I had fun.

But term 3 was the most bestest and funnest term out of all the years I've been at this school. We went to SPORTS CAMP! Sports camp was a highlight of the year for me. We spent 1 week at sports camp, located in Totara springs. We played sports the whole

week. When I was at sports camp I played some sports I've never played before. One sport I liked was petanque. Mikayla and I won at this sport. On the last day at sports camp every school that came first won a trophy. Which ever school came runners up got a certificate. Our school won 7 trophies and 6 runner up certificate.

In term 4 we're practicing our class item and culture groups for the end of the year. But as it's slowly getting closer to the end of the year i'm going to miss the year 8 students.

Number Sequences - By Melissa

Number Sequences  Walt: learn number sequences

This game was fun and helpful to me because this 

game helped me with my decimals. I started with the 

easy level and then went to the hard level. I found this 

game hard in the start then it became easier for me but I still need a little more practise. I just want to continue with this game until I improve.

Fractions on the number line By Melissa

Walt: Position fractions on the number line

In this game you have to put the fraction onto the number line in the right position. I found this game a bit difficult and easy because they were mostly improper fractions. But then I got the hang of it and the fractions became easier. Next I would like to learn about algebra.

Learning about Fractions by Melissa

Walt: Play a Fractions game.

This game helps us to work out fraction sums. I found this game easy  because I was on Level 1 and because our teacher already taught us how to do this. In this game you have to make the denominator all the same. Next time I play a game I want it to be a game that teaches us about Algebra and I want to learn more about Geometry.

Division game, by Melissa

Division game

Walt:revise division is the inverse of multiplication

This game is a game to help with our division. I found this game easy because the questions were easy and I'm getting good at my divisions. I'm hoping for the next game I play on my maintenance is a multiplication mixed with addition game.

Multiplication Man - Basic Facts

Multiplication Man

Walt: learn all our multiplies

This game is called Multiplication Man. In this game you have to eat the ? sign and then they give you a multiple question. Then you have to eat the answer. I found this game easy because the questions were mostly easy. The next game I would like to play is a game that teachers you Algebra.

Patty Paints Cars, by Melissa

Patty Paints Cars

Walt: learn all of our timetables.

On this game we have to answer timetable questions. This game was to help us with our timetables. I found this game easy to play because I know my timetables well. Next I would like to learn about algebra because I haven’t had much experience about algebra.

Reflections - Basic Facts By Melissa

Reflections Basic Facts

For my Basic facts assessment 2, stage 6 I've got a score of 572. I done well on arranging numbers biggest to small, multiplication, addition, subtraction and also division. I didn't finish answering all the questions but I have a fair result. I need to improve on my place value and get faster at it because that took time for me. To improve I will need to practise more on my place value and also my greater than, less than and is equal to symbols. Next time I have a basic fact test I would like to get 100% and in all my other tests I would like to get all the answers correct too.    

I would rather be a Sun, By Melissa

I would rather be?

If I had to chose between being a Sun or a moon, I would chose to be a Sun.

Being a Sun would make me feel happy and free. I wouldn't have to pay for anything or be teased about my looks. I'll shine bright and be warm. I would come out in the day and I will never leave my place because the Sun stays in one spot. But the best part of being a Sun is knowing that you shine on people and make them happy. Also being the biggest star in the whole entire universe would make me happy.

So that is why I would rather be a Sun than a Moon. So I make people happy, myself happy, being warm and shining bright.

Dragon on the loose, Melissa

Dragon on The Loose

“Hello, reporter Melissa from TV3 here. Updating news for this hour. We are live in Auckland City park. Citizens have said that a moment ago there was a furious and dangerous Dragon. Well this might sound confusing but it's true. He constantly attacked the playground while people were still passing through the park. While he was attacking the playground there were some witnesses. The witnesses described him as a huge, green, bulky, scaly and a fast dragon. In other words they said that the dragon looked like the Hulk’s pet. Here is a picture of what the dragon looks like.”    

 

If you see this dragon, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
