My term 3 reflection.

* I enjoyed the Panmure Bridge School tournament.  The activity I most enjoyed in the School tournament was Uni-Hockey.

* I enjoyed the activity because it was fun playing and we won on our final game!

* I learnt about fractions.  I learnt that 2/4 can equal to 1/2.

* I am really proud of the School tournaments we played for our class.

* What I need to learn next term is to manage myself around my friends.

Day production reflection.

* I was pleased with my acting because I put some some effort and expression in to it.

* I was impressed with Room 5 because of their costumes.

* We still need to work on our speed and our confidence (not to be shy.)

* I’m going to make my classes performance even better by using more expression and be a little bit loud.

* I think we need to remember is -
  • Look up and smile
  • Try to not get distracted
  • Use more expression
  • Go on and off the stage quicker
  • Don’t make a sound

Ruamoko rages.

What is it about?
The story Ruamoko rages is about the volcanoes that are extinct, active and dormant.  It tells us what dormant, extinct and active means and show where and what the earths body is about, as in the earths body I mean crust, core and mantle.  Also it show where the tectonic plates are and it looks like New Zealand is right in the middle of it.  That's why New Zealand has earthquakes a lot.  The  outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid.  Below the crust is a much thicker layer called mantle, the deeper you go into the mantle, the hotter things get.  Earth is a lumpy, bumpy crust.  It's made out of large slabs of solid rocks.   

What I learnt?
I learnt that Ruamoko is the youngest son of Ranginui and Papatuanuku.  Ruamoko lives right in the belly of Papatuanuku.  Also I learnt that when he is angry a eruption happens but when he's calm the earth is quiter and also calmer.  

What are my thoughts?
I thought this was some great information about our topic, and it tells us a little bit of information about the earth's body. 

Do I have any questions?
When volcanoes are extinct do they still have any lava left in the volocano?

Our rugby union tournament at Pt. England.

On Wednesday 4th of September the rippa rugby girls both year 7, 8, 5, 6 and the rugby union boys year 6, 5, 7, 8 all walked to Pt England reserve down at Pt England, when we got there we went straight to action year 5 and 6 boys versing Pt England, year 7 and 8 restricted against Glenn Innes and year 7 and 8 open against St. Pius X.  Sadly year 7 and 8 lost, I was in the year 7 and 8 open team.  It was really hard!  After our St. Pius X game we versed Rupotaka, sadly again we lost.  We tried hard but didn't get to get the victory, and we didn't even score one try!  After our tough game versing Rupotaka we had a break and a bye.  While our bye we trained hard we practiced everything we weren't good at.  After our bye we versed Tamaki, we lost again and still not one try.  The next game we tryed our best to get one try!  It was our last game, we were against Glenbrae, and all we needed was one try!  Finally we got a try from Henry, he just went running through the defense like it was nothing.  Then we went back to the tent happy scoring one try, we all lost our final game.  But we walked back to Panmure Bridge School happy!  When we got back we changed to our uniforms and went back to work, even though the year 7 and 8 open lost we still had smiles on our face!
