Netbook Reflection

I think that having a netbook is much easier than using paper. For instance, you can go on to sites that help you to improve on your math & reading & writing. At the start of the year my teacher, Mr Barks, gave us, room 22, an Xtra Maths account each. This helps us to figure out different way’s to solve math problems.

My 3 Highlights

My three highlights of the year are being picked to be in room 22:), going to Action world & prize giving.

My Highlights About Action World

Waiting in line for the trapeze I felt the urge to push in, I was almost to the 10 metre high steps. Gracie quickly, but carefully ran up the stairs. I saw Gracie swing back & forth, then she landed. I waited for her to get off the bouncy castle like cushion. Then the instructor gave me the thumbs up, so I ran up the stairs with out a care. I creeped onto the platform, gripped the bars, and then swung right past the other bars. "Ready, and drop!", so I dropped on my back.

I quickly jumped off the landing mat, then walked straight to the instructor. She told me to go to a practice monkey bar. "When I say lift, you have to lift your legs for them to be line with your belly button" she said, "then after that you have to kick your legs back, but make sure your legs are straight when you kick, ok" she said, "ok" I replied.

Here's a video(:

My Upgraded Writing ^-^

This term (term 4) our topic is “What In The World Is Going On?”. This morning we were assigned to do a writing sample about what we did in the holidays, but for the year 8’s they had to write about their memories of being at Pt England School :)

ENJOY!

As I walked into the arcade section I spotted the car racing game. I slotted in my token with no time to spare. “3,2,1 GO!!” I grasped the wheel, I shielded the pedal with my foot, zooming past the other 7 cars I was so dignified. With 30 additional seconds I put the pedal to the metal. I was awarded 30 tickets for coming first.

Walking over to air hockey,  I put my coin in the socket and off I went. “CLING, CLING” the putt went. I clenched onto the handle with only 4 seconds on the clock. I smashed the putt into my goal!! I claimed another 100 tickets.

I sprinted over to the ticket machine, I gently put in my tickets, I pressed the big red button. Out came my receipt, I ripped it out, it said “ 130 tickets” on it. I went to the prize booth and I went to see how much 130 tickets were worth, It was worth a bunch of stickers -_-

Martin Luther King. Jnr

Elbow to elbow, I was trying to get my way through the bunched up crowd. As I was squeezing my little sisters hand,  the crystal like water was reflecting off Martin Luther’s face. Instead of trying to find my parents, I took my sister for a walk to the museum.

Walking up the stairs, staring at the giant pillars I walked past the statue of Abraham Lincoln, I settled myself on a step to watch Martin Luther attempted to legalise black & white equality.

My Fist Maths DLO ^-^

Q. A large department store has 4 boxes of socks. There are 121 pairs of socks in every box. How many pairs of socks do they have to sell?

A. 484. Because.....

4 x 100 = 400

4 x 20 = 80

Which equals, 480. (Keep that in your head)

4 x 1 = 4 + 480 = 484

My Movie Reflection:)

As you are evaluating each of these categories think about which elements were the strongest in the movie - (made it the most effective). What were the main things that detracted (made it less effective)

Evaluate.

1. Message

Think about what the message was/should have been.

How well did the movie convey it?

*It was alright?

2. Filming techniques

Shots: Wide Shot

Use Of Tripod: x4

Sound quality: Good

3. Acting

Use of expression to convey different emotions

Convincing interaction between characters (if there is any)

*There was no characters

4. Graphics

What is the quality? Are they detailed? Do they include detailed backgrounds

Have they been drawn not traced?

*Good, No, No, No

5. Animations

Are the animations realistic/smooth

Are they complex

* There were no animations.

6. Flow

Do the scenes progress logically? Does the movie connect well from one scene to the next?

*No!

7.  Key Competencies (For those analysing their own movie only)

How well did your group work together? Greatly Did everyone contribute effectively and do their share? Yes

Were you able to work through disagreements when they arose or did they become an issue? Yes

Did you manage your time well? To Be Honest, No

If not what do you need to do differently next time? Use more effective shots & speech.

The Bombing Of The Rainbow Warrior

It was the year 1985, as suspicion started seeping throughout Marsden Wharf.  One mysterious night 2 french spies set off on a “zodiac” boat. Meanwhile there was a big birthday party being held on the Rainbow Warrior. As the Greenpeace crew were partying on the  surface, the two french spies were stealthily attaching 2 limpet bombs beneath the boat.

*Boom!! the first bomb sent the captain off his chair!  “Abandon ship! Abandon ship!” as the Greenpeace photographer, Fernando Pereira refused to moved, 4 minutes later the second bomb went off! Fernando devastatingly died after the accident. Ashes blowing into the freezing water, ship tilting & people fighting for their lives.

                                      

The 2 french spies were sentenced to 10 years in prison. After being imprisoned for 2 years the french government was threatening NZ that they would “boycott” NZ’s meat and dairy products.etc. This would cost us 100’s of 1000’s of dollars unless we gave the spies back. NZ agreed to give them back, so they could go and be prisoners in France. When arriving back to France they were imprisoned for 2 more years then they were discharged.

She is my world, my rock, my backbone. She is my all. She gives me everything I could possibly ask for, she makes me snacks when I ask her to. She is simply the best.

My Explain Ready Task.

I Hope You Learnt A Lot ^.^

Will.I.am :)

“Walking into the hall, being surrounded by cameras, T.V presenters, and what not”. “We immediately thought that it was someone very special”.  We sat down, then Mr Burt asked us, “So, is anyone familiar with the band, The Black Eyed Peas?” Everyone started chanting, “then I clicked, its WILL.I.AM!!!”

Due to the traffic, he was a bit late. So we practiced our school song... “to taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake”  next we practiced how we were  going to welcome him.... WELCOME WILL.I AM, yep, we're ready. Mr Burt Agreed

WILL.I.AM, dashing through our very own school hall. You could just hear everyone whispering, “ why us?”. As our very own mysterious V.I.P guest,  we welcomed him with a very huge, enormous, CHEER!! “ Welcome WILL.I.AM”

“My heart was beating a hundred times a minute”, as soon as he sat down, Vivienne started the day off with a prey in tongan, then Patrick, started saying his prey in maori.  Then Kapa Haka got welcomed onto the stage, to capture the audience, once again... “HE”, woohoo :D

There was a little break, then Hip Hop took the crowd by storm.

Everyone thought that this special moment was coming to an end, then WILL.I.AM, walked up with a $100,000 cheque. He told Pt England School his very own personal childhood story. Then he handed the cheque to the adult, Patrick. The way he said thank you is called a Hongi.

After that a member of the hallenstein brothers, came and presented him a Pounamu, they said a very long speech, that i’m surprised that I understood. After a very long time, we finally sung our School Song. Then we got sent to class.

The End

Yr 7&8 camp argument

In the year 7 & 8 camp you can learn loads of things, you can have lots of different experiences In your team and make new friends because every team have partnership, participation and they protect each other.

We believe that having a yr 7&8 camp isn’t a bad idea, its just that our parents think its too much to pay. I can't argue with that but they know it goes on a good cause. Like when you get older you can learn new things that helps you.

Our parents think that the price should be put down at least $15 dollars, so that we can be allowed to go and some fun. $15 should be fair for three days. Some people believe that the money is worth it because we are paying to learn new things that can help us when we get older.

So you don't have to agree to any of these suggestions but just think about the kids.:) And the most fun part of camp is that we can get into our PJs and get ready for a SENSATIONAL MOVIE with everyone.

Camp is a really good opportunity for skills, fun and new friends. The bad thing is that you are away from your family for almost a whole week! And if it rains the fun turns into inside games!

She loves playing netball and all sorts of sport. But the thing that we have most in common is that we like stay at each others houses while eating JUNK!!

The day everything was disappearing

“Sitting there, like any other morning doing my work”. BOOM!. “I fell onto the floor with no idea what happened, until, I looked around the classroom”. “Everything was fading into the warm air”. Help, Help!! No one answered. “It was like the whole world was dying, right in front of me”

“Yuuus, I can see Mrs Nua, heavily breathing while I was sprinting to her as fast as I could, she was fading very slowly”. “She wanted me to grab her hand.... but it was too late”. “That was me thinking I was free from doing any work whatsoever, so I went to go play on my netbook and go on any game I wanted to”.  “A half hour later... WHY! WHY!. I was balling my eyes out”.

Thinking in my head, will my family have disappeared? Will I disappear soon? “All of these questions to be answered”. “Walking outside I felt a shiver rush through my body, brrrrr, I was shaking. “I was walking towards the street, I laid one tiny bit of the rubber from my shoe, then the whole thing just collapsed on my LEG!

“Trying to crawl my way out of the wood, I eventually got out, limping towards room 22, I felt the cold wind again, shaking off my body still wondering what it was”. It felt like someone was there ,watching me. “ Shrugging my shoulders then limping back into the room, then face planting onto the floor”. “Yep, just my lucky day”. “Then all of a sudden someone knocked on the door, knock knock knock”. ‘Trying to look back but my neck felt like it just got kicked’.

“Walking outside, thinking the concrete wouldn’t fade away, but no I had to walk outside”. AAAAAAAH!! “I fell into a dark hole”...... “My head flicked right back, I was in my classroom the whole time sleeping”

THE END
This morning we all completed our first writing sample for 2013. I have posted it just as I wrote it in the 40 minutes that we were given, so that through out this year I will be able to look back and reflect on the progress I have made in my writing, I will post my learning goal from this soon.

My Living Nightmare

“Kicking my feet up waiting for sunrise, did I mention im up north”. In my head thinking what I should do. Then it came to me, literally, it came to me. There it was sitting right next to me, a BIG, FAT SPIDER!!!. There I was  screaming like no one else was in the house.

Running into the kitchen hopping onto a long chair, I was in so much shock that I was determined to overcome my fear and catch it then of course throw it outside into the wilderness where it belongs. So I went into my room and got some sellotape, heaps and heaps of pillows. After that I grabbed a BIG bowl from the kitchen, then I went off.

It was so fast, but that didn’t stop me. I smacked the bowl down and what do you know it ran outside. I grabbed a stick and flicked it away.

“Note to self: Do not ever go back up north”
