Term 1 Reflection

Term 1 was a fun term. Evey thing went well i settled in perfectly no problem. I learnt about this school the values how and how it runs. Class time was a real challenge trying to sit next to the right people eventually sitting by my self wich is not to bad it means less distractions and more work to be done. I also learnt allot on basic learning like maths,literacy,writting and reading. Learning was the key word for this term. I think that the more I took in this term the easier its gonna be throughout the year. I think i picked up more of class learning then anything else eventhough it was a bit rough to settle in getting to no the year eights and sevens.

I thought that it was going to be terrible settling in I thought that the teacher was going to be grumpy I thought the kids were gonna be bullys but its the exact opposite nice students funny teachers and cool Principal. Our class just recently went on camp and it was the coolest camp ive ever been on education exercise and many more fun things.

We also do this thing called techarts wich is a educational learning process that involves fun. At the start of the year we did music. For music we got taught how to read simple music notes learn about differnt composers and study how music has changed from the primitive ages and the modern ages. We also got to group up with some people and create many dance sequences to create a full dance that went for two minutes.

After dance had finished we had moved on to art wich we are currently so far we have made a full cley design that involved maori culture and lots of koru patterns but many more projects to go over.

Overall i have settled into TeAwamutu Intermediate really well i have made lots of new friends and have developed many new learning attributes.

Wellington Experience

In week 8 our class had gone to wellington. We left on sunday and arrived at camp around 8 hours later. We then proceeded to have dinner. Every day we had to get up around 6:50 Am not as bad as you think atleast if you want a decent breakfast and not just toast. First come first serve the rule was.
One of our first adventures we went to Zelandia. Zelandia was very fun we learnt a lot about Newzealands history and discoverd many birds. The guides then showed us a short film of the Maoris arriving in NewZealand what they did and how it changed our environment. We also saw Takahe and walked across a dam overall it was a really fun experience. But my favourite of all was snorkling. It was pretty fun but the wet suits were really tight my whole body was like a rubber band every time i lifted my arm it would spring back into a locked position. We were all paired up with a partner and a parent. I saw a school of fish 5 blue Moki and I also spotted a octopus. We also went to the zoo wich was a pretty fun i saw lots of animals lions,bears,monkeys,lemurs and cheetas.But my favourite animal was the sun bear he was not interactive but he looked very cool and stared at us for a solid 2 minutes like he wanted to do a staring contest. But overall it was a fun educational trip. If i had the chance to do it again 100% I would and if you have the option you need to try it.

Week Seven & Six

In week six & week seven  i learnt what the holocaust is and why it happened. I also learnt what prime numbers are and how they work and what a factor tree is and how to solve one. The holocaust was a catastrophe in which six million European Jews were killed by Adolf Hitlers Nazi German army and the world warll collaborators with the Nazis.The victims included 1.5million chilldren and represented about two-thirds of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe.I also learnt what prime numbers are. A prime number is something that can only be divided by one or its self.2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,ECT.

i also learnt what a factor tree is and how to sovle one. In order to find the prime factor of a number we need a number that isnt a prime: 24 now we divide it by the lowest number it can be divided bye, except for 1 and we do this untill we find the prime 24÷2=12-12÷2=6- 6÷2=3.

Week 5 Reflection

Week 5 i learnt a lot of stuff like hot to play a nursery rime on the trumpet it was Marry had a little lamb. I also learnt how to do algorithms both times and addition. As well as at the whole class did this boat safety thing which there were 3 people showing us different things like how to safely enter and exit a boat and what to do if you get lost in the ocean bye your self or in a group. if we were lost in the ocean bye our self's we would need to look for the closest piece of land and if we were lost in a group we would do this special hudle if it were cold most likely at night and if it were the morning we would link arms and kick our feet and swim to the nearest piece of land. i also learnt what coding and computer science really means. A type of coding i learnt was binary coding or bit for short.

Week 4 Reflection

Week 4 i finally got my instrument the trumpet so far iv'e learnt how to play hot cross buns and i have made some instrument friends that play trumpet and the cornet. And in class time i also learnt about rounding significant numbers and how simplifying numbers work. And learnt some new meanings about place value like the face value of something and and the total value of a number is example: 5467843 the face value of the 5 is 5 and the total value of the number is. 5 million four hundred and sixty seven thousand eight hundred and forty three. i also learnt in music how to read musical notes and what they are ♩ that is a quarter note ♪ and that is a  eighth note  and that is what i learnt in. Term 1 week 4
