Netbook reflection 2013.

HOW HAS HAVING A NETBOOK CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET HELPED MY LEARNING THIS YEAR?

This year my netbook has helped me with lots of things I never knew about.  I have learnt many things from everyone in the class, especially my teachers. I have related and helped other this year by helping them when they needed help, like this year I helped a newby in this school post his first blog post. My friends have taught me and helped me by getting on a new site by searching on our google docs. I have also learnt about the earth (solid).  I have learnt numerous facts about rocks. I’ve learnt about magma, how it forms and where it comes from. I have been managing my self sometimes. I won’t lie, this year I have been distracted but sometimes not that much. For the past couple terms we had a class battle for sports. Room 7 vs Room 5. I have been participating and contributing with my fellow classmates. I have also learnt from some illustrators. They have helped me by being like a veteran at art and how to draw. I have also wrote a whole narrative. My teachers have helped me improve more on my writing and some of my struggling subjects. Like maths, the teacher showed me what quarter to is, I just knew quarter past but now I know o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past. These have all helped me by telling the time. This year I’ve learnt down to download firefox too from my friend. I found out that nearly most of the people that talk are the ones that can’t figure out the simplest instruction. I’ve also done this website called kiwi kids news, it about the current events that are going on now. My netbook has helped me by typing things instead of writing, it’s much quicker! This year I’ve learn how to share things on my document with people. For writing I have learnt how to make a narrative and a news report. My friends have also told me how to make a new account on your google. This netbook has helped me this year with taking things easy, I’m glad I know somethings from here as I move on to intermediate next year. Wish me luck!

Watercare with Sally.

On Monday a lady from watercare came to our class. Her name was Sally, she taught us where our poo goes and where water comes from. I thought poo went out to the sea but it actually goes to a huge factory. The poo gets eaten by little bugs, then the poo turns into acid. After awhile some other bugs eat the acid and there's electricity. They take most of the poo and dry then put it under trees, plants and grass. Our sewage water gets sent to the same factory. When water goes to the factory they clean it by sending it to these huge filters. Inside the filters they're these little bugs called superbugs, they drain out every dirty thing in the water. Then when they're full they take a little nap. After the water to our home to drink then the start the whole process again. Finally after we finished learning about water we actually did a little experiment. We had to make a group of 3 or 4. The group we made was Halatoa, Me, Joshua and Leenas. We had to number ourselves 1, 2, 3 and 4.  I was 1, Leenas was 2, Joshua 3 and Halatoa 3. Number 1 (me) had to fill the 4 cups to half way then come back. After I filled up the 4 cups the lucky ones number 2, 3 and 4 could put the food colouring in. The colours were red, yellow and blue. I had to wait for a long time but then I got to get these tubes and number 1, so the first one had the chance to make a colourful rainbow. I learnt that salt water is heavier than fresh water so the salt will sink right down to the bottom. And you might just might end up with drinking salt water.

My 2 comments.

Here are my 2 comments I made for the blogs of the week last week.  I commented on Room 6 blog but it didn't seen there, it said it will be visible to the poster. Hopefully they see it!

What I practiced during maths.

Today I practiced about time.  I made a new high score between me and Sebastian and we changed the difficulty to 15 for veterans.  Sebastian was a good opponent for me, he won more times but I came out with the new high score. Here's a photo of the score I earned.
