Flying Pigs Programme

I had came across to one of those boring first week of the holidays. Then I just remembered, what I was going to do the next week!!

Finally the day had arrived. Wednesday morning, Mary had came knocking on my door. I rushed down the stairs got my bag and went out and waited for Miss Wild to pick us up. We then drove off to the ANZ Viaduct Centre.

The programme that we had attended was called “Flying Pigs” Weird name right? Well this programme is for teenages who basically don’t have anything to do in the holidays. But also this programme helps with long living choices.

Mary and I got out of the car and waved bye to our teacher. As we walked into the room. I had noticed that we were the first ones there. I was really scared at first knowing we were going to do activities with strangers, which now I call my friends for the next three days.

One of the best days that I had enjoyed at this programme was getting to go into TVNZ!!! Why? Because we got to learn about more things that Directors do behind the scenes of our NZ shows. It was really cool experiencing different jobs that people do.

One of the best things that our leaders told me that I did well was learning to use the vision mixer. A vision mixer is a person that controls the different camera shots. So that person presses a lot of buttons just to change the camera shot. Which was really cool!!

I got to meet a whole bunch of new friends through this programme.  There were a bit of quiet ones, and loud crazy funny ones. But at the end of the week we all had fun!! Hopefully the next group of teenagers can experience what we have!!

What is a Theme?

Here is a presentation that my friend Mao and I have created on describing what a theme is. This presentation can teach a kid younger that doesn't know what a Theme is. You can make a copy of this presentation to answer the questions that we have put in. Also remember to leave feedback on how we did with this presentation.

Thinkboard Week 2

Every week our Numeracy Class always has this task set for us. But each week our equation always changes. In my learning I used Partitioning to solve this.

Immersion Assembly - Term 4

Immersion Assembly

Finally the first day of Term 4 had come!! I was really looking forward to what our topic was going to be.  It was Monday morning as I rushed into our classroom door. Filled with excitement I dashed quickly to  our classroom’s wall which had a poster of what we were going to be learning about. SURVIVOR, was our Topic for this term!

The 8:45 bell had rung, I quickly ran towards the hall as all the prefects were waiting for me. Assembly had finally started!! The items from Team 1 - 4 were amazing!! Knowing that team 1 was going to be learning about the zoo and even going on a trip to the zoo sounded surprisingly fun!

Then there was team 4’s movie. I think it was one of the best movies that were shown. Why? Well in the movie they showed four students getting interviewed in the green screen room. While they were getting interviewed there was a movie playing in the background, it was showing different animals. So in the end Team 4 is learning about how animals live.

It was now Team 5’s item. While our teachers were getting closer to the stage. The prefects and I rushed towards the back to find out what our team was learning about. When we got there our teachers had already started performing. Waiting waiting and waiting, finally they started their performance.

Their performance was amazing. Soo team 5 is learning about how people and animals eat and survive in the places they live in. Sad thing was it was our year 8’s last Immersion Assembly.

Thinkboard Master

First Thinkboard of this term!! I've finally completed my first ever  thinkboard for Term 4. In this thinkboard I am using (Rounding to the nearest ten ) Strategy to get the answer. 

Maths Presentation

Here is a presentation that I have created during Numeracy class. We have been learning about Integers and money debts. This task was set for us for Week 8, and I've finally managed to finish it!

How to prevent yourself from getting sick

Ugh! It’s winter, and what comes with winter is sickness!! It really does suck being sick. We should all learn how to look after ourselves. Below there are ways from preventing yourself from getting sick.

One of the easiest ways of staying healthy is eating a balanced range of food. This means eating from the 5 food groups with a focus on fruits and vegetables. If you do that then your body will receive all the nutrients it needs to be in the best condition to fight off invading germs.

Another way to prevent yourself from getting sick is by not sharing drinks or foods with other people. This means if you have a drink or a really nice food do not share it with others if you have already taken a bite from it, why? Well your your saliva could get into the food or drink that you have already drank or eaten. If you do this you could also prevent others from getting sick.

The last and final way to prevent yourself from getting sick is to wash your hands frequently. This means after coming from the bathroom and before dinner you should always wash your hands. Why? because you could be spreading your germs into your dinner or after you’ve used the bathroom. If you do this you could help yourself and also people around from getting sick.

Eating healthier, Washing your hands and NOT sharing food with others could really help you!! If you do these things you could live a better and healthy life.  I hope you live long and happy life!
