ATTITUDE TALK: Puberty

 Today we had to have a attitude talk about puberty and the ever changing bodies of us going from children to adults. The ones conducting the lesson were Charlie and Robbie and they were very humorous. They tried to ease us in the lesson by telling jokes to us and overall trying to make us less uncomfortable about puberty.  They talked to us about certain parts of our body and about some of the functions of those body parts. We also talked about valuing ourselves as people and not comparing ourselves to each other.  We also went into a brief explanation about relationships and building it from friends to perhaps something else. We can't do that now obviously as we're too young.  Overall though it was a funny and humorous lesson and I learnt a lot about my own body and valuing myself as a person. 

A Astronaut In Space

 (In this task we had to complete a warm up for the summer learning journey. The real summer learning journey starts on 13th December however this will be a little teaser for what's to come. In this picture as you can see is a astronaut currently in space presumably doing a explanatory walk which is when a astronaut walks around the surface of the moon. )

Making Choices

 

(In this task we had to make a poster for Hauroa about making decisions.)

A Summary of Wednesday

Wednesday wasn't really that special. It was the usual routine except there was no prize giving dance practise. It was our class that had to do mihi and karekia and John and Jezer were the ones to do it. We sang as per usual and Mr Burt had a korero with us about the year 7s applying for jobs like prefects and house captains and etc. We then went on Literacy world and I did that for a while before I had to do a extension test for reading. After that we did some Hauroa work. Middle block was normal as we just did some maths for that block. We're then did some SSR/SSD for the last block and we are now trying to complete the checklist that we set for ourselves in the morning.

A Recount Of What We Did Today

Today was relatively normal for the most part. In the morning our whole team came to Te Kapua and 2 people from room 5 were chosen to do mihi and prayer. After that we sang and the teachers told us what we're going to do today. The interesting thing was that we were able to go on a google meet with Miss Stone for a catch up. It didn't last too long but we were able to catch up and some people asked some questions about her well being as well as her baby. We then did some Literacy planet. The next block we year 8's practised our prize giving dance and polished our art. Now at this moment we're getting our jobs done on our checklist for the day.

Koru Art

 

(In this task we had to draw koru art before the years eights go to college. It's used as a way to remember the year eights every year.)

Two Way Probability Tables

 

(In this task we had to do several tasks relating to two way probability.)

L3 DMIC SUBTRACTION

(In this task we had to read 3 specific poems and then make our own poem based on those 3 we just readied.)

Literacy Task 5: A Story Introduction 4

 

(In this task I had to write a introduction to a picture that I saw. This picture to me seems triumphant and looked like the girl in the picture was idolising the man with the cape so my story reflects a theme of idolisation.)

Literacy Task 4: A Story Introduction 3

(In this task I had to write a introduction about this picture that I saw. This story is a lot more simpler then the last story I wrote before.)

 

Literacy Task 3: A Story Introduction 2

 

(In this story we had to write another introduction for another picture using our knowledge of introductions. Disclaimer: I have no knowledge of what University is like these are just are my assumptions.)

Literacy Task 2: A Story Introduction

 

(In this story using our knowledge of writing a introduction we had to write one for the following picture above. It was interesting to write and was fun.)

Literacy Task 1: What Do We Need?

(In this task we had to watch a video about writing Introductions then record the following information in this slide deck. The main 3 components are the hook, background information and thesis statement.)
 

DMIC Week 3 Task 3: X and Y Axis

(In this task we had to look at the axis shown in the picture below and then fill out what the answer was on the corresponding axis. For example if the x axis was from 1 to 10 and the y axis was from 10 to 100 then you have to find out what number like for example 10 corresponds to on the y axis and so on and so forth.)

 

DMIC Week 3 Task 2: Statistics

(In this task we had to look at the statistics and then answer the following questions. )

 

DMIC Week 3 Task 1: The Text Has All The Answers

(In this chart we had to record information that is presented with the following maths sheet. We copy out the charts and then answer the questions.)
