Communication team (Excellence badge)

On Monday for communication team we had to decided who was doing what. I got put in formal practice and also finishing up all the iMovies. I found it quite tricky because I had to get 3 iMovie done in 1 day. I have completed 2 iMovies but I have 1 more to go which I will do next week. We also had to take photos of the shake out last week. It was so fun because when everyone was lining up kyla and I had to take about 20 photos to make an iMovie with. Next week I think that I will get 1 iMovie done and maybe try to find a second one to do.

Leadership goals (Term 4)

My goals for this year were to achieve my merit and excellence leadership badge. 

I have done well at this because I have nearly achieved my excellence and I have achieved my merit badge.  I am not sure if I will get a leadership role yet because there are lots of other people that could get it. My next step is to achieve my excellence and start on my distinction badge. My other next step would to keep on top of all my blog posts and try not to forget to post that week or day.

Maths prove it.

WALT: Generalise properties of multiplication and and division with whole numbers.

My solo level is extended abstract because I can show how to do it and I think that I can teach other people.

Here are some examples of what I was learning.
4+7=7+4  That is called commutative.
n+0=n That is called identity.
3+(7+29)=(3+7)+29 That is called associative.
a*(B+C)=(a*b)+(a*c) That is called distributive.

Also here is some pictures of what I did.The answer is identity because adding 0 to a number doesn't change a number.

 The answer to this is associative because when 3 or more numbers are multiplied, the product is the same regardless of the grouping of the factors.



My next step will be to have a teacher conference and find a new maths goal.

Peer mediation (Excellence badge)

Last week for peer mediation I had to find Molly to help me because she did not turn up. After that we walked around the junior area and also walked around the buildings. Once we walked around once we found that some girls were arguing so we went over to sort it out. When we were doing that we had to explain who we were and what we were there for. In the end they had sorted it out and were friends again. 

Technology (Excellence badge)

Last week for technology I only talked to the person next to me and I also only got on with my work when I needed to. On the bus I sat with Kyla and Grace. When I was sitting with them we only talked to each other and no one else. When we arrived at technology I went straight to hard materials. Once we got there we went in and started on our project, I was up to painting my speaker. It was tricky because I had to do precise lines. Once technology had finished we went on the bus and drove back to school. The bus was ok but it was a little noisy, we only got told once to be a little more quiet.

Kapa Haka (Excellence badge)

Today at kapa haka we had to practice our poi and our new school song. When we were practicing the new school song we had to do it about 5 time because we weren't loud enough and we did not have the actions sorted properly. In the end the school song sounded really good and most of the actions were great. When we were practicing our poi 4 senior girls had to demonstrate the last part of the poi as we made it up. In the end it turned out really well and it looks and sounds great. We also had to help the yr 4/5 with the poi because they did not know how to do it and they weren't in time with everyone else.
