On Thursday for tech I started making a headphone stand for my room. For that I had to measure the correct lengths and widths so it’ll hold them first I had to cut my wood on my markings so it was the right lengths. After I did that I glued two pieces of wood to make a base then in a cube shape then I made and glued legs to make my headphones stand, my headphone stand is going to be  cube person with legs, a face and a tongue sticking out so I can lay my headphones on it.

Another thing that I found challenging this week was literacy because we had to finish one thing everyday and I just finished before the end of Thursday it was also fun to do. We had t0 do motes, story’s and reading even though it was hard it was fun to do.

One rise value I think I used was empathy and success because I finished all my literacy work, my mahi a tahi and inquiry. I also helped my friends with work and helped them when they didn’t know what to do.

Today in maths we gathered data and used google sheets to make a column graph. Our topic was preferred drinks and our variable was gender.

The features of my graph are the titles “preferred drinks in Sharon’s maths group” and the labeling.

From the graph I notice that most people don’t] like fizzy there are only 2 boys and 0 girls.

I think this week the thing I felt challenging was choice and challenge because of all the little kids. We had to help kids learn how to play dodgeball and making sure they listened and followed the rules. The first game we led was deathmatch we watched and helped people that either got hurt or weren’t following the rules. The second game we played was normal dodgeball the teams were the seniors vs the kids from Rongomatane and Papatuanuku.

The thing I enjoyed in my week was tech because I finished my project for woodwork/hard materials, and I got to bring it home we also have started making stickers for my box. I made my box for my phone, lollies and money. My box also includes a swivel lid and a false base so I can hide stuff from my parents and siblings so they don’t sneakily take my stuff away.

Throughout the week I think I showed resilience.

This is my reflective blog for Week 6.

One thing I achieved this week  was learning some swimming techniques and how to get better at previous swimming skills.

Another thing I did was I led dodgeball for choice and challenge for my first time with Archie, Travis and Jamahni in the hall.

One challenge I had was Maths because we started learning to measure perimeter and area. 

Today we did 100 division questions in 10 minutes

I got 96 out of 100 in 7 minutes and 17 seconds

I did worse than the multiplication.

Next time I want to get 100 out of 100.

To do this, one fact I’m going to focus on 42 divided by 6.

This week I went swimming for the first time of the year because I didn’t want to before but on Monday I went in and had fun and learnt a lot with Mr Redmond now everyday I cant wait to go swimming in the morning and learn how to swim better. Overall I think my week went all good and I hope next week is just the same.

Today we learnt about water safety – 3 things to remember near water and in water, walk around water, be with an adult at all times well in water and always stay within the flags at a beach.

Most people that drown are males, most people drown that are 65 or older.

One thing I always remember is to stay with a parent or someone older then 18.

Today we did a times table test to see if we knew our multiplication facts. We had 100 questions and 10 minutes.

I got 96/100 in 6 minutes exactly.

My goal is speed.

Next time I want to complete all my questions in under 5 minutes and 30 seconds. To achieve this goal i’m going to learn 8×7 and focus more on not being as stressed.

This year for fitness I would like to get better at running, I want to be able to run further, faster and do more laps of the bike track without stopping. I also want to get better at some sports like basketball, football and touch by getting better with skills.

I hope to achieve these goals all throughout the year.

This week on Thursday we had our first CRT, I had Elizabeth we played games with the spheros and also we did a scavenger hunt in the library with the books trying to find the questions on a survey.

We also did tech for my first time ever on Thursday I started doing woodwork, My teacher’s name is Mr.K we have started making a spatula with his machines and when we make it, my group is going to make a papa hou/treasure box. The first time was really fun and i’m excited for whats going to happen later on in the term….
