Today we had a fundraiser for our yr 8 graduation hoodies. we also displayed our hard work from term 4 we invited our younger students and parents to come view our hard work we have done through out term 4. For our fundraiser we did a sausage sizzle and also sold some water bottles and ice blocks. also this morning we has our yr 8 leavers assembly and we had our very own school
pacifica pears perform for us.
For maths this morning we learned about real numbers. its where you count in different ways or steps of counting where you begun. For example {1.2.3.4.5…..} But if it continues the other way its {-1-2-3-4} and goes on. it also can continues both ways
today for maths Team Tui did some activities to start the day. The first three activites were blocko,cards,flip the bottle and greedy pig.
The rules for blocko were to collect 11 blocks and and space them out on a sheet across 11 numbers then a teacher would roll a dice once the dice was rolled the teacher would yell a number out of 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12. when a number is called out of 2 -12 if any of ur blocks are on the number that the teacher called out you are to remove that block from the sheet the first person with zero blocks on there sheet wins.
For then rest of the games you are given are given a sheet to track your failures and success if you are right or wrong.
One other game that I really enjoyed was the card game. The rule for the game was to look at a list to see what cards to flip if u did not flip the right card. You had to record our success and failures on a sheet. The learning was fun and enjoyed doing something different for Maths.
Today level 4B learnt about metric conversations. We had to figure out how much mm can fit in a cm and how many cm can fit in a meter and more. Then we had follow up task to complete on a sheet similar the to the work we did with Teacher here is a photo of the work sheet:)
Today for maths team Tui had to buddy up and to make a shape and measure the perimeter of the shape, and across the arc. We tried using string but ended up using a ruler.We found out there are different ways of measuring.
| On the first couple of days of term 3 Team Tui has been doing some writing on Matariki and learning about the history behind it.
For our writing, we had to make a poem using our 5 senses which are “SMELL”, “FEEL” “TASTE”, “HEAR” and “SEE”. First of all my brain didn’t want to cooperate and just wanted to go to sleep but I managed to finish so I’m happy. |
Today room 13 went out for Kelly sports to learn the different basics of rugby and to increase our confidence for this week’s tournament. The drills we did were learning how to scrum,tackle,pass, and how to play the ball. After we learned the following skills we played a game of rugby that was very entertaining to see the girls going against the boys. I was surprised to see how good the girls were at rugby.
Today I had lots of fun playing with my friends. I gained a lot of confidence in my tackling. Can’t wait to do it again next week. We also had to include our Whakatauki of the week which is (Tama tu Tama ora Tama noho Tama mate) He who stands lives he who sits perishes.
Also a big thank you to coach Tray and Deon for making this possible:)
