😝2018 😝-Reflection

WALT: reflect on what we have enjoyed and done this year.

3 words to describe this year is amazing, brilliant and fantastic, I pick these three words because throughout the year we have had great moments together with the year 8’s and we had amazing events that have came up this year that I really enjoyed.

My greatest achievement this year is being in band. In the band the instrument I play is the bass guitar in the band and I think it’s the greatest achievement of mine because not everyone knows how to play the bass guitar and I think it’s amazing I know how to play a instrument like that.

The things I have learnt about myself this year is being able to interact and build relationships with the year 8 (Mostly the girls) and being able to make lots of memories with the graduating students and my best friends this year.

The new skills that I have learnt is being able to play bass guitar and knowing that I can achieve lots throughout this year.

The 5 people I have enjoyed spending time with this year is:

Akanesi:

I have enjoyed spending time with Akanesi because to me she is like a older sister and she is mature and kind and she has taught me many things about myself. I am lucky to have Akanesi

Cerenity:

I have enjoyed spending with my sister Cerenity because she has helped me to improve with my self confidence and she is a really kind and funny friend and I am lucky to have her as a friend.

Leilani:

I have enjoyed spending time with my friend Leilani because she has really taught me to be proud of who I am and Leilani is the one who got me into burning my hair up and I am really lucky to have her in my life.

Kensington:

I have enjoyed spending time with kensington because he has really taught me how tough I am and I have really enjoyed to have him in my life and wish he doesn't graduate.

Lydia:

I have enjoyed spending time with lydia this year because she has been a great friend and without her I would never be as confident as I am now, I am happy to have her as inspiration to me.

These people have put a big impact on me, They make me feel like I'm someone when I walk in class and they make me feel amazing about myself. I happy to have them in my life.

Dine and Dance

IALT: blog about the dine and dance

Me and my friends at dine and dance.

On Wednesday the 5th of December  the kia manawanui had a dine and dance, which was amazing. The dine and dance was being held in the TPS hall. The year 8's came at 6:00pm and went for the dining part and ate and then the year 7's came at 7:30pm and went for the dancing part which was amazing and extremely fun. We did a lot of different dance moves which was amazing and I think the best dance moves was from Toma,Leilani and constance.  I enjoyed dancing with my friend and being able to spend time with the year 8's that are leaving and what I found challenging is trying to dance in heels which are annoying and sore.

Free style writing✏

WALT: Freestyle write about and image

Today our teacher asked us to write a story about a picture.This what I wrote. Tell me what you think in the comments below.

The wind rushed through her hair as she descended the mountain at great speed. For most children this will be an exhilarating, even terrifying experience, but for lucy it was an ordinary journey to school…

Lucy’s house was in a humongous forest and her house was built upon giant bugs. Her house is like no other house. Her house was filled amazing animals and birds just outside the forest were she lives in is a tropical beach.

Lucy’s school is filled with extraordinary pictures she is a year 11 and is born with the most smartest abilities. She has moved a lot of year levels and is filled

Her school is not similar from mine, I think she learns about way different things from me and I think she was the one who made the zip line for herself to travel to school.

This girl feels fine like as if it was a nice ordinary walk to school but instead she’s traveling by zip line, I think she feels relaxed and unstressed. The wind was roaring in her air as she swooshed through the forest on her zip line.

Remember to comment below and give me feedback and feedforward.

The picture we used to freestyle write was this picture....

You could have a try and write a freestyle writing on this picture or your own picture.

Writing

WALA: the importance of forming an opinion

Today we were discussing about debating and having a persuasive argument. We all have different opinions and I think it's important to express our opinions or beliefs with other to make them believe or agree with you and what you are arguing about.

We had been given different types of statements were some of us agreed and some of us disagreed with others with the statement. One of the statements were "should it be compulsory that everyone should learn Te Reo Maori.

I disagree with this statement because I think it should be optional of what language we want to talk. New Zealand  has a lot of different cultures here and we are not forced to speak Maori as soon as we stand foot on New Zealand. In the other countries you are not forced to speak their language so why be forced to speak Maori here. 

If you have a different opinion feel free to comment below.

Reading

WALT: use analysing skill to identify the key ideas in the text.

Today we have been working on our analysing skills to use it so that we can improve in our reading skills and identifying the key ideas in the text. We have been working on a text called turning old into new and it's about learning where to but your rubbish and how the rubbish system goes and things like that. I have learnt from this text that our rubbish that we through away goes into big  and humongous pit's which then and buried and are called landfills.

I have also learnt that a company in England uses old chewing gum and designs sneakers and mobile phone covers. I think that's creative and disgusting at the same time because using old chewing gum is disgusting but being able to make things like shoes is amazing. We were learning about things that are renewable and non-renewable. Non-renewable means something that has been used that cannot be used again and renewable means being able to re use something old or used and recreate into something else or being able to use it again.
