Term+Summaries

=__ TERM SUMMARIES __=



Term 1 was great. We swam nearly everyday. Some days it was FREEZING! but it was awesome. I did great at the swimming sports. Our topic last term was awesome, I enjoyed it. It was a bit different working on laptops instead of exercise books! Our North Creek got dug up and is being rebuilt. I was part of that and it was awesome. I couldn't wait until term 2! I now know what I am doing and can enjoy it more. The laptops were quite easy to get the hang of. Our Inquiry went great. I enjoyed presenting my slide show to the class. Overall I had a great term and I am sure I will have fun in term 2. I learnt a lot about citizenship and I enjoyed getting better at my writing.!



I enjoyed term 2 a lot. I have improved in pretty much everything. I have enjoyed every subject this term. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this term. Topic was heaps of fun. I now know pretty much everything about my laptop:) We had Cross Country which sadly I wasn't able to take part of. We also had speeches!!! Overall I came 3rd out of the whole Wairarapa for Primary Schools. I got a certificate and a $60 book voucher!!!:):):):P:P:P We also had Science Fai which I really enjoyed. I did mine on melting chocolate. I didn't win but that's ok. I hopefully will do better next year. Our North Creek has been finished and looks magnificent. The grand opening is on July 2nd. We had to write a second media release which I had to distribute to contacts. I aso had to phone up like 7 or 8 people regarding the North Creek. It was nerve wrecking but it got easier after 2 phonecalls. Now every Monday morning we have the Basic Facts Challenge which is where we have to figure out 100 basic fact sums in under 5 minutes. My highest score yet is 100 and 99. I enjoy this as Basic Facts is one of my strong points in Mathematics. Overall I have enjoyed Term 2 a lot and can't wait until Term 3 :):)



Term 3 was a very busy term. We had a lot of projects due so we were very busy all term. Our inquiry was so much fun. We were in pairs, I was with Alice. Our topic was ICT. We did our inquiry on Apple Inc. Look at my Term 3 ICT page for more information. We did poetry in Writing which was fun. We also started doing Dance movements for fitness. We did an assesments on our writing. I got a 4P. I am improving in most subjects. I am getting 4s in everything which is a year 8 level. We also went to the Fonterra Science Roadshow which was a treat. It was at Kuranui and had heaps of interactive activities. One of them was a bed of nails which I got to lie on. It was comfy which was a surprise. For writing we started Poetry. We learnt about a Japanese poetry: Haiku. We also did Diamante poems which are poems in the shape of Diamonds, hense the name Diamante! We also started doing Discovery Time which is where the whole class searches the web for new Web 2.0 Tools that could enchance our learning.I have found some really groovy sites which I think help a lot. We also continued doing the Basic Facts Challenge. I have got 100 every week except for 1 or 2 weeks. For PE we are doing Target Games like Chair Soccer etc. For languages we started French. I find this so much more interesting and fun than Te Reo Maori. We have learnt hellos, farewells and how to have a conversation in French. As a treat we made crepes on the last week of term. Look at my French Page for more infomation. We also had Mr C this term for 2 days a week instead of Mrs S. In Term 4 we have Mrs Stevens all week which is great. Overall it was a great term even though it was a busy term. I learnt heaps of things and had a lot of fun!

WOW! Term 4 already. This term has been a busy term but not as busy as Term3.Our topic this term was careers. I thought this topic was best as it was personal and we could find out about a career, I chose Zoo Keeping. For more information check out my topic page:) We had to do assesments this term as it is the end of the year. We did EasTTle Testing, Writing Assesments, GAP test and some others. I scored really well in all of my tests and improved in all of them. I am really proud of all of the work I have done in 2010. Check out my other pages for more information. This term we had athletics day. I didn't get into interschool which was a bit annoying as I tried really ahrd and was aiming for interschool. But oh well. I will aim for next year:) This term we also ahd interviews for 2011 Black Hats. Black Hats are leaders of the school. I signed up and Mrs Stevens and Mr Mackay chose 201 of them out of 36. Not everybody had to sign up but I did and guess what!!!!!.............................................. I am now a Black Hat for 2011. I am really proud and happy. I will hopefully be a good leader next year for the whol school. Out of all the Black Hats chosen for 2011, 2 will be chosen for Head Boy and Head Girl. French has been good this term but ahven't done as much as last term. We had to make movies about all of the french we have learnt. This is going great. In the last two weeks of term we are having some fun. We are doing art this week and next week we are doing some fun things : Secret Santa, Pool Day at local pools, Shared lunch and final assembly. See Ya Next Year!!
