All about me in 2013

All about me in 2013

I hope to get better at my reading and writing. Getting better at my writing would help me when I go to college. Reading could help me understand and use some words from out of the book. This year I’m looking forward to to learning how to play cricket.

This year it going to be exciting because we are going to sports camp and it’s going to be fun. Talking about sports camp makes me very excited and I just can’t wait.

This year speeches is going to be very challenging for me because I'm very scared when I do speeches in front of the school or in front of the class. But if I try my best and overcome my fear I could be writing really good stories.

Socialising

Dear room6

When we were walking down to your school I was really excited. But when I saw your class I got really shy. When we had to sit and socialise with you there was funny feeling inside of me. When I have a funny feeling in my stomach I feel sick but once I got to meet you I felt comfortable. After socialising I wondered where we were walking until I saw music on a class room. While we were getting partnered up we had to play the ukulele. When we had a ukulele we had to learn the notes for the ukulele like C, G7 and F.

I wish that I can see your class again and learn some  more notes.

Yours Sincerely

Mary

Netbook Reflection

Today I have been doing a reflection about my netbook. We had to reflect on how the netbook helps us with our learning and any other way.

With my netbook I can do my maths. During maths I do lots of mistakes and I always get to fix it up faster than doing it with a rubber. During my one year I have found out that netbooks  can be really helpful. When I use my netbook I feel relaxed because my arms and fingers don't have to hurt when I use a pencil.

I think commenting on other peoples blogs is really interesting because I get to look at what they were learning.

My goal for next year is to learn how to make an eBook online.

Conversation

Extreme Fear

Walt: write a story in sequence.

Yesterday was the big jump. Chris wanted to break the world's biggest fear fall. He was really scared because he was going to spring into space and zoom down to earth.

Chris and his ground crew zoomed straight to England to execute the worlds biggest jump. The helium balloon carried Chris all the way up into the galaxy where you cannot hear a thing.

He was just about to spring into space. Chris was extremely terrified he felt like he was going to faint. When he jumped he just felt like he was gliding on air. When Chris was going to land on earth his visor were really foggy he couldn’t see anything. Luckily he quickly wiped his visor and he landed perfectly like he had planned.

Chris had a lot of guts to jump from out of space. His crew asked him “was it a lovely trip down?”. Everyone said he had the speed to zoom really fast.

Chris had landed really safe onto the ground. Everyone was amazed that he made it down really safe. He was proud of himself for taking the helium balloon up into space and jumping out of it.

The message is about doing something crazy and believing in yourself.

Technology Lesson

Walt: write a narrative.

Technology

This week in technology we are learning how to construct a joint. Every Monday mornings the year 7 students go to Tamaki College. We go by bus to Tamaki College.

The first process was planning. I found the planning very easy because all we had to do was think of what you are going to make. I drew my five ideas. All the measurements has to be accurate. If you make a mistake your project will be ruined.

The second process was to learn the safety rules. The first and most important rule is don’t fiddle because if you fiddle you’re not going to finish your work or pay attention to the teacher. The next rule was stools in. If your stool is not in Mr. Grundy will take the stool away from you and you would have to stand up for the whole lesson. The final rule is closed shoes. If you don’t have closed shoes you could get hurt when using tools and it won’t be Mr Grundy’s fault it would be your fault because you didn’t follow the rules. Following the rules is really important because if you don’t you're going to get yourself hurt.


I enjoy technology because we get to do lots of fun stuff and my classmates enjoy it, too. I think we should stay at hard materials because it just so much fun and the things we make we get to keep.
