IPhoneFakeText

For writing this week we were to go on a text creator called Fake iPhone text to write a fake conversation between two peoples we could int use name form our school so I chose mike. First we were to write the message in the Fake iPhone text message.After that we were to write the message in a story format that included punctuation such as speech marks. This meant that we were to write every thing that a new person said on a new line.

Age Problem

Today me and Jericho have been working on a DLO that explains how to solve this question. Our question was : Malcolm was 3 times the age of Peter but was 4 years younger than Jack. Jack was 10 years older than craig, who was 4 times the age of Richard, Richard is 15. How old is everyone else? These were the answers we came up with.

Mathematical Me

My partner and I thought that our height would not be the same as our arm span. So it was false but this turned out to be true, we were really shocked by the outcome. The one best thing my partner about this activity was working together.

Poetry Juxtaposition

This week's task for poetry was to first read a poem and then answer some questions and create some word clines, for the word clines we first needed to choose a word and then find all of the necessary synonyms for it. After that the task was to draw a line on some paper and then write down the synonyms that we'd written down onto the line in order from top to bottom depending on how important we found that one synonym.

In the summer I’m aroused to a snug and friendly breeze, all the pollen in the air always makes me sneeze.

After clambering into my uniform and leaving for school,

I wait for friends by a wall of hedges, relishing the blue and inviting sun.

In the winter I sullenly rise from my bed, chilled to the bone from the despairful air. After painfully getting into my uniform and slowly leaving the door, I sprint to school just to keep myself warm.

Skeletal System Game

For today we played a game about skeletal systems we had to put the skeleton together. The game counts how much attempts you got for trying to put the skeleton together I got 31 attempts you have to try get 26 attempts because there is 26 skeleton parts that you have to put together. I thought this game was awesome because I also learnt most of the skeleton parts and now I know were most of the skeleton parts go.

Lung Capacity in LS2

To compare the lung capacity of students in LS2 we used one breath to blow up a balloon, then we measured the circumference of the balloon in cm. Then we could graph the results to compare them.

2 facts , Julian had the most breath, Alex, Ms K and Me had the same breath. Link to Spreadsheet 

Hineheauone

Today I have created a template on Story Board That about Hineheauone and the myths and legends, with my partner John. It was interesting to be researching about the gods because the information that I gathered made me want to learn more about Hineheauone. 

The Unfinished Drink

Today we read a poetry about La Tour Mollet d' Auvergne (Ted) this is about a person who did not finish his drink while they were about to go to war. So he gave the Bartender his drink at said "hold it don't break it or sell it ill drink it when I get back". But he never returned.

Roller Skating

As part of Kiwi sports this term Mr Ogilvie has kindly offered skating lessons in the hall for students year 4-8. Today was the year 7&8 and everyone was really good but there were  some crushers. First Puna our skating coach taught us how to get up on the roller skating shoes which was pretty easy for some people. We then had a warm up game by practising how to skate. I found it easy but I think I need to work on my Turing. Soon we had a race and it was a bit hard because people were screaming all over the place.I was  Unlucky I came 3rd out of 4 for my group. At the end of the lesson we were lucky to get VIP Skate Pass which meant we could go to one free skating class. Thank you to Mr Ogilvie and Mrs Anderson for supervising us and Puna for teaching us how to skate. 

Memorial, Unknown Soldiers

Link to Spreadsheet 

For reading I have chosen one of my slide that I created in reading its about the unknown soldiers. Our theme for this term is about 'ANZAC Day' "least we forget." As I was researching I found these two tombs of two soldiers found dead without there remains being identify-ed.
