term three week five

Last week I learnt how to make a bag in sewing first you have pick a image that is going to go on it then you cut out the fabric with the picture on it then you start making you bag. we also did our speeches last week and I made it into the class finals which I am nervouse about because I dont really want to get into the school finals. On Saturday we won our rugby game against Taupiri which was our first win and I had a friend over we stayed up and watched the All Blacks and on Sunday me and my friend did the score board for senior rugby but that was ruined by Sir Colin Meads dying which I am sad about and I didn't even see one of his rugby games but he was a great rugby player. we also did two test last week I feel like I did pretty good with those same with my maths which I caught up with. All I have to do with my analysis is to print it off and do my succese critria.

term 3 week three post

Last week I satrted to learn how to make a bag in soft materials first you have to find a simple image then draw out the border on paper the trace the image then repeat it on fabric. In maths I learnt to convert metric measurment and to find the pereimeter of polygons this work was simpls but helped me get the basic idea on these things also I didn't fall behind in this and got it finished I am looking foward to learning more about perimeter and area. I have done well with my speech and all I have to do is the conclusion I dont understand what you have to withn analysis are  you supposed to write about them what they like I dont know? I am nervous about my student led confrence I am nervouse about what the teacher is going to say, one of my goals in it was to get my bronze badge by the end of term three and I only need seven more signatures. We didn't do any writing last week because we were busy with other things. We got to go to the college expo last week and have a look at what the offer for special classes like wood work, metal work, food and lots more I think when I am a year eight I will go for metal work,food and maybe visual art I am not sure about the last one though.

term2 week 10 blog post

Last week I learnt how to change a fraction into a percentage and a decimal and what the percentage is of fractions we should know like one third is thrity three recuring percent and six sevenths is 85.71. In wood work I made two perspect shapes for a key ring and it is a lot harder to cut then wood with a jig saw because it melts from the heat of the blade. On Friday we had friday sport it was a great day to have we had to be careful though because their was a pitbull terrier running round but our team won both our games that we were playing. I also did lots of work last week finshing my inquiry,book review and my arguement writing but next term we have speeches and I am better at having the the topic choosen for me instead of picking my own thats why I am a nervous. I think doing maths at home is really helping me I enjoy it, it make me feel good completing it and it takes the stress off me at school.

Last week in wood work I have started to catch up to the rest of the class and I have nearly finished my letter and now I have to connect the battery. I also have been doing some maths at home to help me catch up with work and it has been really helpful now I am almost at the work I should be up to and I am up to paragraph three for my arguement I hope to start editing this week. I have started to work on my book review more and I think I will get all my work done if I work really hard these last two weeks of the term all I have left to do is maths,inquiry,book review and arguement writing.

week 8 term 2

last week I learnt what some fractions and their decimals form like 3/4 are 0.75 and 1/10 is 0.1 this was helpful even though it was just basic because I only know a little bit about decimals. I learnt that if you are caught not wearing a bike helmet while biking you can be fined 55 dollars and that their is a speed limit for cyclists at 45 kilometer per hour which I think is fair. I am a bit nervous about next term because of speeches I don't have any ideas of what to do my speech on. In wood work I learnt how to melt and shape acrylic into a wind spiral using hot irons to melt them then twist

Week five post

Wow what a week lots of vandalism, swimming sports and more tests. The up and go machine was completely wrecked twice last week and it was students at our school who did it. I learnt that it doesn't matter if you don't know the person you still cheer for them which I did at school swimming sports and lost my vs after even though mangapiko lost, I had a great day. I also learnt that you shouldn't give up no matter what place you in first or last and people will cheer for you and that's what I like about intermediate. I also have learnt about the colossus of Rhodes thanks to the explanation writing  (which I have finished) I didn't even know it was a wonder of the world till now. I also learnt about being safe around water and boats and what to do if you alone or with people and lots of other things that would be helpful.

Week one post of Term 2 and goals

Last week I learnt how to find the rule in algebra and how to write it the right way instead of times you us n and you write it backwards like 2n+1 and that in your graph if the line that connects your dots isn't straight it is incorrect I also learnt last week that we have a book review which I need to finish by the end of the term and I am already half way through the book. In vocabulary I learnt what a whole lot of word's mean like intricate which means very detailed or complex and impede which means to delay or stall. My goals for this term are to represent the school at something and try to get a badge on my jersey and that I make my book review as good as I can because this a topic I like to read about even though is my first one. My writing goal is to use lots of fanboys and awubis and do editing correctly. My maths goal is to tr my best at work and if I
