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.

News Article for the School party.

SCHOOL PARTY AT PANMURE BRIDGE SCHOOL.

(Hosted by C3)

On the 9th of November 2013 Panmure Bridge School had a school party.  It was hosted by C3 Church, and it was from 11am to 1.30pm.  Many people were there to witness the party that includes, Pro wrestlers, Mr. Whippy, a Cafe, a Pamper room and much more.  Lots of items as well, there were the Ukulele group, Kapa Haka and a Cook Island dance!  Heaps of people were enjoying themselves.  Like people holding a nice hot chocolate with a smile, and maybe four girls holding some party food.  Anthony thought “the food was amazing, lollies, sausage sizzle, making your own biscuits and way more.”  People really enjoyed the Pro wrestlers, it was really interesting.  You could do many things like trying to push each other with sticks, riding a horse!  There was also a bouncy castle.  And the party was for everyone.  I give this party a 10/10! Because it was amazing and free!

A sneak peek of the Pro wrestlers.

My photos from the Tamaki River walk.

These are my four pictures from our Tamaki River walk.

I chose lines because they're easy to recognise.

I also chose lines because there is more than one in the pictures.

I learnt that walking around the basin is tiring.

My 3 positive, thoughtful and helpful comments.

Here are my comments I did on Rm 5, 2 and 1.  As you can see they are all positive, thoughtful and helpful. 

What I know about decimals.

In maths I have learnt about decimals. 

In decimals 1/10 is 0.1, if you're doing tenths like for example 9/10 you only write the number you picked, not the tenth.  So it will be 0.9.  Here's picture of my Studyladder decimal work. 

As you can see there were 15 questions and I have got them all right.

My narrative introduction. Zombies at school.

It was horrible morning as I woke up.  I usually stayed by myself.  I could hear the raindrops as it dropped on top of the rooftop, as if it was raining like this since last year.  Then I realised I was late for school, the time was 9:03.  I aggressively sprinted to the bathroom to brush my teeth, I looked typical as usual.  Black hair sticking out, I kind of had little horns sticking out from my hair, I looked like a goat or something.  When I finished brushing my teeth I went to go put my uniform in a rush.  As I was finishing putting my jumper on I quickly put a apple, orange and a mandarin in my lunchbox.  I put my shoes on grabbed the umbrella and quickly walked my way of to Panmure Bridge School.  As I was walking I saw no one on the street, it was completely empty.

Here's a sneek peek of my narrative. I reckon I did good at my introduction.

Portage Rd.

On this map you will see the red line is where Portage Rd is.  

Portage Rd was used for transporting from one place to another, it was much easier than going around

the whole of the North Island.

My Tamaki area map.

The Tamaki area goes from, Pt. England to Mt Wellington down to Panmure and along the Tamaki River.  My family had lived in The Tamaki area since 1991 I think?

Tamaki facts on Voicethread.

Here is a video on what we did on our topic. We all searched up some facts and wrote them down in our litracy book. Then we went down to the mat and shared some of our facts with Miss Paton, Miss Gounder and Mrs Miller. Our facts were about how people used the Tamaki River in the olden days. Please listen to my comment about how people took a shortcut instead of going around the whole of the North Island.

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
