2018- Reflection

The school year is nearly done it has been a great year with all my pairs and our teachers.I have enjoyed being in this class because of all the students and all friendships I have made.3 words I would use to describe this year is Funny,Team and skuxx. 

A achievement I am proud of is making friendships with the whole class.I am proud of this because I have gotten to know all the people in my class.The new things that I have discovered about myself is that I am good at making friends and I like sports.

A new skill I have learnt is Working out problems in a lot off different ways.An example of this if I dident know what to do I would think of what I would do.5 people I enjoyed spending time with Is Tevita, Toma, Alo, Aumau and Amon. I choose them because they were the people I hanged out with everyday this year And they have made me laughed everyday and they are like brothers to me.

The person that had a positive impact on me was Grace because she would always help me with all my work and be positive to everyone everyday.The most thing I enjoyed this year is being with the boys .

Dine and dance 2018

WALT:Reflect on our time at Dine and dance

Yesterday evening the year 7 & 8 had to dress in formal clothes.This was to have a last dinner with all the year 8s and celebrating the whole year.At 6:00 all the year 8s had to go first to have a dinner before the dancing .The food we had was Chicken,ham,Potato salad and salad.It was very delicious.After everyone finished we had to share our favorite thing about this year I said I enjoyed hanging out with the boys and bonding with everyone that was in my class. Then we had our dessert witch was chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. 

 Then we had to let all the year 7 in so we could start the dancing part of the night.

The most thing I enjoyed was seeing everyones dances moves and dancing with lots of people.The least thing I enjoyed was that is finished because I wanted it to keep going.Another thing I enjoyed was that everyone came together and danced together and it was funny as.

Here is some photos from last night:

Thankyou for reading.

Reading task

WALT:Reflect about what we have been doing in reading.

Today we got given a task by Ms aireen,

We had to complete these questions about the story we read yesterday which was called design for good.
I found some of these question challenging because I dident know what the questions mean.The thing I enjoyed was learning about pest in new zealand.

   

Astria-countdown to impact

WALT:Reflect on the game Astria countdown to impact.

Yesterday We started a game called Astria countdown to impact.Ms komor and Ms aireen put us in groups.In my group was Leilani and the game was about A meteor heading to a place called astria and we had to find out what was the best way to stop it.This game was very challenging because we actually had to think about the game and I am not use to games that have a lot of questions.Something I enjoyed was that It was a game that you have to use your reading skills in and you have to remember a lot of stuff.

My critical analysis of a still picture.

WALT:Critically analyse still pictures.

Today after morning tea our class split into two groups on of the groups went to room 9 and the group I was in.My group was looking at 3 pictures and analysing them.Ms aireen wanted us to answer these questions.

These is the picture I chose and her are the questions.

7 Questions

Who took the photo?

How is the subject represented in the photo?

What kinds of messages are being conveyed?

How do different parts of the image contribute to these messages?

What if the photo was taken from a different angle or cropped differently?

Who might the intended audience be?

How might different groups of people respond to the image?

Something I found challenging was trying to think of what was happening the the photos that Ms Aireen showed us.

Something I enjoyed was hearing people's answers to the questions.

Inquiry

 WALT: Reflect about Technological world.

Today for Inquiry we did Technological world. The people I worked with was Tevita,Alo and Fe'ao. The type of technology we did was Cars.We all had to choose one question that Ms Komor wrote.

I chose How cars have changed over time.Here is what I wrote

Cars have changed a lot. The first car was made in 1886 and it only had 0.75 horsepower. Cars these days now have up to 808 horsepower. The first cars that were made had no windshield, doors, turn signals and circle steering wheels. The first cars were powered by a steam engine.

Here is the slide my group made.                                               

  

Maths reflection

WALT:Subtract and multiply decimals.

Today for maths we had a worksheet about maths it was about subtracting and multiplying decimals.I was working with Aumau and Toma we were getting the answers quick.

We  finished one page of the worksheet and now we are on the second page.

Something I enjoyed was working with my buddies because they were very helpful.

Something I found challenging was when I first started this because I dident understand it so I asked my buddies and they helped me.
