Creativity

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about how I used creativity in making my fair project. As you probably already know this term we are having a fair and the year 7-8s are making games for the fun zone in assigned P.B.L groups and we had to focus on 3 of the 6 C's. Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. I think that one of the ways we showed creativity was when we thought about how we cloud make that game and keep the costs down. Another thing that we did that I thought was creative was when we made the certificates for the fair and how we thought about what to put on them. Something else that I thought that we did well was with the poster and how we make the theme to fit the game. Something that I think that I come work on is taking the game to the next level and making it better and better.

That was my fair poster.
Have you helped with a fair before?

Collaborating

Hi , welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about how well my group for the fair has worked together. This term we are having a fair and the year 7-8s are making games for the fun zone in assigned P.B.L groups and we had to focus on 3 of the 6 C's. Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. I think that one of the things that we did well was that at the beginning we where good at contributing ideas for possible fair games and thinking about how we would create them. Another thing that I think that we where good at was thinking about what the game would look like and how we would set it up.  Something else that we where good at was prioritising out tasks and getting our work done on task completion so that we could help more with making the game. I think that in the future that I could work more on talking to the group more before making it so we all know why we are doing or not doing something.

That was what I think I did well in my group and what I think I could improve on.  Do you think that you work well in a team?

Papua New Guinea

Hi, welcome back to my blog. This week for reading my goal is: Identify at least one important idea and justify why it is important. For my reading task we had to read a country profile about Papua New Guinea. Then we had to chose a important idea and make a poster or a video about that fact and why we think that it is important. This is my google drawing that I made with friends.

That was my google drawing. Do you know about any facts about a country and if so please share.

Maths Task

Hi, welcome back to my blog. This week my maths goal has been: Use a variety of strategies to calculate the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. We had to create a DLO on how to  calculate the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. I did my DLO with my friend Hannah. This is it.

These are the Examples.

Triangle

Rectangle

and Parallelogram

That was my DLO. Do you know how to calculate the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles now?

Waitangi

Hi, for Waitangi week we have been completing slides about the Treaty of Waitangi. On the last slide we have to make a DLO on the Treaty. This is mine.




That was my time line about the Treaty of Waitangi. What do you know about the Treaty?

Fish Ball Toss

Hi, welcome back to my blog. This week my reading goal is: Create content that is concise and relevant to the curriculum task. Our follow up for this task is that we had to write instructions for a game that we could run at our school fair. This is my game.



That is my game. Have you played a game like this?

Welcome back

Hi welcome back to my blog. This term is the first term of 2020 and and I am going to tell you about something that I did in the Christmas holidays. Every Christmas holidays me, my family and our closest family Friends drive to Kaiteriteri. This year we stayed for 11 days and it was so fun. When we got there it was raining so we had to stay inside our tents. Unfortunately when it started raining again me and my friend where in the kitchen tent so to avoided getting the tents wet on the inside we had to wait there for the rain to stop. The proper day in Kaiteriteri it was sunny so we all went down to the beach. The water was so warm and nice to swim in.  The next day we went to Takaka. It was really fun. We went to the park and had pizza for lunch. Then we went to a watering hole and swam there before going home. There where lots of cool places that we also went while we where there and the hole trip was fun but  Unfortunately we had to pack up and go home. On the way home we stopped at Pelorus so that was not so bad. That was my favourite thing I did in the holidays I will now tell you about the hopes I have for this year. One of them is to make centrals again and to do better that I did. Another one is to get faster at getting my work done and to keep completing my work to a high standard. I look forward to athletes so I can try get to centrals again and I also look forward to leadership groups.
What do you look forward to?
