Week 4 term 2

Week 4 was an interesting week. In science we are still learning about POEW by creating a marble run to keep the marble in motion for exactly 20 seconds and balloon crafts to transport a straw from one side of a room to the other. In  math we learnt how to order fractions. To order fractions you should turn all fractions to decimals and order but answer as fractions. On Wednesday we had french and we learnt how to ask how someone was. on Thursday we had band some of junior band could progress to senior band if they wanted to. Although I could have moved to senior band I chose to stay to perfect my skills.

Week 3 Term 2

This week from Wednesday-Thursday there was a band and choir camp where Cambridge and Matamata intermediates came and stayed at TAI. On Thursday the junior band, senior band, choir and drum line performed a few pieces. On Monday room 3 played volleyball in the ALC. Monday and also Tuesday we learnt how to order decimals and to find the total place value of a decimal. In science on Friday we learnt about the scientific method by lighting paper cylinders on fire  we had to predict, observe, explain, what if or POEW. Overall I learnt a lot and enjoyed week 3 term 2.

Term 2 week 2 reflection

Reflecting back on week 2, it was an interesting week. We all learnt how to play lacrosse, lacrosse is a game that originated from a native american game using an elongated stick with a net and a ball. Lacrosse in french means 'the stick'. The game of lacrosse is a non contact sport where you must throw the ball to one another using the net on top of the pole to score a goal. We also started our first reading task that includes a character description and a summary.

We finished editing our descriptive writing to get rid of vague words, to be words and sentence fragments. We all wrote about a place that we went to. the time was basically a snapshot in time. now we are onto report writing about an animal of our choice out of a giraffe, meerkat, giant panda, hectors dolphin, bottlenose dolphin and chimpanzees.

Term 2 week 1

Term 2 week 1 was a good start. We had a powhiri to welcome two new teachers. Some shared a mihi and others supported with waiata. The whole school started on finding a science fair question to research to create a hypothesis an educated guess and test the hypothesis. The whole school got a chance to see mike king explain depression and told us his journey through antixety and how to avoid it. I learnt how to figure out the missing angle in a polygon and how to get rid of weak verbs such as good, look, said etc.

Week 6 Reflection

 Reflecting back on week 6 I got a good amount of my work done. On Tuesday I did a 45 minute minute boating course, and continued on my bag in tech arts. On Wednesday I got a reasonable amount of my work. On Thursday I also did a reasonable amount of work. On Friday I was sadly of school with a stomach bug. Overall it was a good week.

Week 5 Reflection

Reflecting back on week 5 it was a good week I did well in my PAT reading, listening and spelling tests. I did okay in swimming sports and did well in junior band. Overall, I think week 5 was a great week. 

Week 3 Reflection

Week 3 was a good week. Reflecting back  I got a lot of work finished and got some signatures which was great. I enjoyed Friday sport I got to do jump jam. Sadly, I didn't get into rock band but I had a good crack at it and that's all that counts. I managed to get 99% correct in my vocabulary test which is actually quite hard.  I believe that I will get my first shine band in a few weeks. Overall I think that It was a great week. 

Weeks 1 & 2 Reflection

The first two weeks were great. Reflecting back I was well behaved although I could have gotten more of my dream board done and gotten a better score in my basic facts test. I enjoyed getting to know my teacher and classmates. The inter - house sports were good although my house didn't come first. Overall weeks one and two were great.
