Kiwis Reading activity ; About Braille

In our group ( kiwi ) we have been reading a story about Louis Braille. He was a Frenchman that was blinded in an accident when he was 3years old. He learnt how to read at a school for blind by using books which had raised capital letters called Braille that helped the sightless people read.

And up above I have written my name in Braille.

Geometry

In Room 22 we have been learning about Geometry and what it means. Geometry is the study of size , shape , and position of a 2D shapes and 3D figures.
Everyday geometry → spatial sense
→ geometry reasoning

We have been doing activities such as making 3D shapes , and we learnt how to draw perfect circles with a compasses , and we also got to make our own tangrams for a fun challenge.

Taonga Time

Every Friday’s the year 7&8 students have Taonga Time we have it to learn about our teachers different passions like my teachers passion is kapa haka. If you don’t know what Taonga means its Treasure in Maori.

There are different Taonga groups like Sports with Miss Vaafusuanga , Music with Mr Jacobson , ICT with Mrs Telea , Team building with Mr Barks , Art with Mrs Langitupu , kapa haka with Ms T , Maori with Mrs Nua and Science with Mr Harris. And the group that I'm in is Kapa Haka.


When I found out that I was in kapa haka I was so happy because I love preforming for our school in culture groups.

1st Netball session

Thursday afternoon room 22 went out to the courts to have our first netball session. With a coach from the Auckland Netball and her name was Emma.

Then Emma had asked the class to line up along the yellow line and asked if we knew any dynamic stretchers. And ONLY two people put their hand up. So Emma showed us the high-knees , butt-flick and grapevine. When I was doing the grapevine it was hard because I didn't know how to do it.

When we all learnt all our netball skills we had a game of corner ball. Which is sort of like netball but it a goal in the corner of the court. I was in team 2 GD which was the bibs team vs the non-bibs. It was really funny because when Junior had the ball he goaled in the wrong hoop. And we at the end we lost because the non-bib team WON!

Now I so can’t wait until tomorrow so I can see which team wins

Creative Name ;

In Room 22 we have been learning about Creativity. We were given a really awesome task to do. It was to create our own name creatively and we ONLY can do it in a limited of time. Which was 11:30 to 2;30 to finish it. I thought really hard how to create my name so no one else would think of it. And I had come up with doing my name in rainbow writing.

Term One Reflections ;

One of the things I was pleased with was my DLO project. When I was given my report I received good for work habits , behaviour and academic progress. I was given 11/16 which was pretty good for me. I feel really good about myself !


The thing that I wasn't to happy about is when I looked at my report was my writing. Because I got below expectation in work habits and academic progress. But I had gotten good for my behaviour.


My term went alright I think? But I need to stay focus this term so I can finish off all my activities.
