Word Clines

This is my presentation of my word clines. I had to draw a line and create a word. As you are going up the word gets interesting. I think this would be helpful when I do my writing so I can improve more.

Tech ( Art )

Today at tech we had to use our smart searching skills to find out the answers for what is a kahoa and what it was used for. I had fun researching about this as it also helped me learn about my culture. 

Home Learning

This is my home learning. I collaborated with Mahdia. We got given a picture and we had to answer the main questions on the presentation. The picture we got was the Ivory white marbled mausoleum in India. 

Tech @ TC

On Friday LS2 went over to Tamaki College. We got split into 3 groups. I got chosen for art. For art we had to design some patterns or logos that come from our culture.

Home Learning

This is my home learning I created with Ana. For the home learning we got given a picture and we had to find out When it was built, Where is it, Why is it there, What is it, who uses it, and 5 facts.  Here is the finished product Ana and I  have made.

Kaleidoscope Art

This is my kaleidoscope art. We had to arrange our letters and fold it so it could be symmetrical.  We had to repeat this step and color it with pastel. I used cold colors for my letters and hot colors for my background. I enjoyed coloring and rearranging my letters in my name. 

Maths

I was learning to order numbers from 0 to 999  to refresh my thinking skills. This was a independent task. I think I am improving but I need to memorize them fast.

Trump

This is me and my groups poster about Trump. I was learning what trump stand for and what it look like. I worked with Evelyn, Nazella, CJ, and Kelvin. I learnt that T stands for Thinking. I also learnt that P stands for participating.

Protech Maths

This is my results for Protech Basic facts Maths. I was learning to recall my basic facts for our assessment this week. This was a independent activity to get us prepared. I was learning my timetables, division, and some of my fractions. I am proud of my score because I can go back and fix the maths problems I got wrong.

Statistics Graph

L.I : To plan and carry out a statistical inquiry.

This is my partners and I graph about what LS2 did in there holiday. As you can see in the graph beach and out of Auckland got the most. We were learning about each other and what they did in there holiday. Spending time with family and camping were the lowest.

Stretching Sentences

This is my presentation about stretching sentences using the 5w's. I learnt how to turn my writing from stage 4 to a higher level by using when, where, why, what, who and sometimes how. I am going to use the 5w's more often to make it more interesting.

2016 Reflection

My reflection on 2016:

So far this year I have enjoyed being a year 8. Another highlight for 2016 is starting in a new classroom, Learning space 2 (LS2). What I like about the class room is we have lots of options to sit which means collaborating with new people and having a big space which would be helpful for collaborative work. I love the view on the balcony because you get to see the whole school and were close to the library which saves lots of time. Being a year 8 is a big privilege because we are the role models that the juniors look up to. Being in LS2 is so enjoyable because as we make mistakes we learn off them and try harder next time. What I really enjoy is we get to sit anywhere with our friends and meet new faces. Meeting new people is really building up my confidence. I am really looking forward to 2016.
