Hard Materials

WALT - Write a reflection on technology.

Today the year 7&8 went to technology, right now my group is doing hard materials where we make things by hand like a woodwork, making our own pendants and other stuff like that. Today I was working on filing the sides till it's smooth and kind of shiny. What I found challenging about the task I was doing was trying to get it as smooth as I can and my next step is to work faster so I can start sanding my design and take it home.

Week Reflections

WALT - Write a reflection on what I did during the week.

This task is about what I did at home while the year 7&8's went to camp and EOTC.
I enjoyed this task because I got to talk about what I did and I also got to personalize the slides.
I found nothing challenging about this task because these were my memories and I put them into my own words. My next steps are to blog more for this month.

Celebrations in November!!!

WALT - Find celebrations that are celebrated in November and write about it.
In room 9 we were given a task to search up celebrations in November. I worked with a couple of my friends (Ana & Hereani) so that we could get this work done quicker. I enjoyed this task because I got to learn about different celebrations around the world and I also got to learn some history. What I found challenging about this task was when I had to choose one out of all the other celebrations that I found. My next steps are to blog  more about different celebrations around the world. The new ideas I learn't were the history behind the celebrations. The slide I did was "King Tut Day"

The future expectations?

WALT - Write a reflection on the article we read.

In the second block for S.S.R. we were told to find an article from the Technology section on New Zealand Herald website. I enjoyed reading the article because I was moved by the predictions of Kaila Colbin. All her ideas were cool. What I found challenging was explaining what her ideas were about because one of them I didn't understand. My next steps are to blog more about these kind of topics. I will leave a link if you want to read it yourself, I hope you enjoyed reading my reflection and leave and feedback or feedfoward in the comments so I can get better at blogging.

Hope you enjoy reading the article too.

Otter's

WALT - Blog more of our work.

This wasn't a task I just did it myself because I had free time so I decided to write about one of my favourite animals, which were Otters. I enjoyed this task because I got to learn more facts about Otters and I also think that they are very cute. My next steps are to blog when I have spare time. I found nothing challenging about this task because I wasn't in a hurry and it was at the time I had finished all my work.

I hope you enjoy reading the facts and have more knowledge about Otters.

👑My weekend👑

WALT  -Write a reflection on what we did in the weekends.

I enjoyed my weekends because I have never been to Parakai Springs and I have never went for a trip with my church. What I found challenging about this task was writing all the things I did at the pools but. My next steps are to blog more about my weekends, I hope you enjoyed reading it and maybe one day you can go there yourself. I liked going on the slide because every time I went on it I would try and suf because we had to take a board with us as we went down.

👨🏻Differences between men and women's sports team👩🏻

WALT - Write a reflection on what we read about sexism.
Today in the morning block we were given an article to read and questions to answer. I enjoyed reading the article because it was an opinion about sexism towards women and how some women's sports teams aren't popular because of social media. What I found challenging was believing that there was a racism happening against women in sports. But my next step is to reflect more on topics like these (opinions on things).

Thank you for viewing my blog and be free to give me any feedback or feedforward so I can improve more on my blogging in the future.

S.S.R

                                  WALT - Write a reflection on what we read about and put our answers in paragraphs.
I enjoyed reading the article because it gave me more knowledge on why movies have ratings but it was also challenging because the questions were kind of hard to answer. My next steps are to understand the article more by reading it 1-3 times and than move on to the next task. I don't have the link to this article becaue it was on a sheet. Thank you for viewing my blog.

😨Cosmic Tragedy🤕

WALT - Write a informative reflection about the earthquake in Kaikoura.

In the morning block we were told to read some articles about the earthquake in Kaikoura and write an informative reflection about what we read. The thing that I was wondering about the earthquake was, How was it caused? Where did it come from? Has this dangerous earthquake have been carried and been damaging other countries. I have enjoyed reading this article because I got information from this article about the tragedy that has happened and it was also informative. What I found challenging about this article was it didn't actually explain what some parts of the article was about. My new idea is to research more about this article and get more information about the earthquake. My next steps are to find more facts about his article.

I forgot to put this on my google drawing, but 2 people were killed in this incident and may they rest in peace.

Thank you for viewing my blog be free to leave any comments below or feedback so I can improve more on my blogging.

Our morning on room 10

WALT - Write a reflection on what we did this morning in room 10.
This morning we had to stay with room 10 for the morning block because our teacher (Miss Komor) had to do some testing. When we went to room 10 we first did some activities about camp. But we first had to get in groups of 5 and write what participating and contributing looks like at camp. My group was just girls, we had lots of ideas of what participating and contributing looks like because we shared each others ideas and worked as a team even though it wasn't a competition. When the other groups finished brainstorming, two people from each group had to stand up and share to the whole class our ideas, the people that stood up was Nita and Irys, they bravely stood there and told the class our idea of what participating and contributing looks like. After that we had to the same thing and write our idea of what relating to others looked like.

After the first activity they were going to come up with their cabin names, but since I wasn't going I went to the back and read my reading test while they were coming up with names. It was fun in room 10 because I actually got to get closer to some people I wasn't really use to but it was still cool. Maybe next time I could try and improve on properly participating in the activities because instead of telling them my ideas I just wrote it down. Thank you for viewing my blog and enjoy reading.

Oldest woman in the world!!

WALT - Write a reflection on the article we read about.
In room for S.S.R. we had to go in to the section of "odd stuff" or "random post" and choose an article to read. I chose the article about the oldest women alive now. I think it is incredible that she is to turn 117 on November 27th. Her name is Emma Morano and she also says that the secret of her long life was eating eggs. If Morano had a few more years and birthdays she would break the world record of the oldest woman of 122 years old who was Jeanne Calment. Here is the LINK to the article if you want to read it.

WALT - Write a reflection about the Manaiakalani film festival.

What I found challenging about the festival was how we couldn't choose where to sit or to sit with, so I found it challenging not sitting next to my friends.But i'm happy that I got through that. Anyways I still enjoyed watching the movies and can't wait to go next year. Here is the LINK to the video I liked the most and also the LINK to the Manaiakalani website if you want to watch the other videos.

WALT - Find facts about basketball.

In room 9 I had some free time so I thought about one of my favourite sport and came up with basketball.

I enjoyed studying about the history of basketball because I got to learn new facts of it and I got to learn the background of basketball. What I found challenging to believe is how hard was it for the referee to climb the post every time the team would score a goal. Next time when I search things up I hope to put more facts on my google drawing and explain more about the fact I am talking about.
