Reflection 2017

Goal Setting Term 3 Week 8
Friday 15 September 2017
My Reflection


This week my teacher was away at AIMs and we had a releaver.
I did my normal thing like doing maths in the morning till second period bell rings then i move onto reading.
For maths on the first day of the week, i did angles and was not that sure on how to work with a protractor but i got help from a friend. I finished my maths work and marked it.
The second day was the same and i enjoyed it. Listening to music while doing maths. Did alot of reading and writing. Can’t really remember the other few days after that but i do remember doing a 50 word story. Today i enjoyed doing maths buddy. Wasn’t good at it at, but i got a few tasks done and dusted. Then i went to music and learnt how to read music notes. Ms Christianson was really caring and helped me after my music. I liked this weeks music lesson. In the middle block i did my science badge work. I haven’t done any activities but i am planning to make a forensic board game. I liked doing it, it was very interesting learning about all the different roles and everything.


My goal this week and for next week which is week 9 is to do a bit more on my Science badge and hopefuly do some activities and find more infomation for it.

This week i have enjoyed alot and hope for a better week next week.
That was an awesome week!

50 word story

This is suppose to be a 50 word story but the first one isn't one but the second one is.
Hope you enjoy!

What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice and all things nice and that is what little girls are made of.
Be what mother goose's nursery rhyme says. Be and do, be a angle and fall to feathers. Do what any angle will do. Wrap yourself in pretty pink ribbion and never come out. Just let the world forget you exist, and tarnish your mind black and wait for it to set. Forget about everyone, anyone…… anything and everthing.

Matahiwi recount writing:

We waited about a hour for a spare bus to pick up the rest of the classes which were room1, 7 and a bit of room 5.
The ride there was that of any normal bus ride. I sat with my friends from room 1. I was sick that day so i wore a jersy the whole day. I brought my own jersy but it was black and it wasn’t a school one so i had to wear a school jersy. It got hot pretty quickly but later on it cooled down.

First was the powhiri
We walked in a line and there were three singers at the front and everyone behind them.
We all sat down in this little house thing. We listened to these three people, a lady and 2 men.
They first talked in moari then in english. One of the sayings that they said was to never drag your feet. Then after that we stood up and sang our school song and sat down as the kapa haka did their thing.

After that we were seperated into 3 groups.
1 with room 18
2 with rooms 7 and 5
Then
Rooms 16, 15 and 17 were together.

My class group,  we the first to go in the wharanui. I think it was the eating area.
The lady, i think her name was whaia luvy or something told us the stories that all the painting and weavy things and what they meant. It was interesting in a way. Some people thought that it was kind of oring but i liked it. Better than staying at school.

That lasted for a few minutes. Then we went off to another spot and sat down. We were being talked to by a man called Matua Tom. He was nice and old. I like old people because they are
cute. He talked about the marae and why it was green and what the carving symbolised, saying that green was chosen for growth. Because the place was surounded by green. He said thatv it was built in 1976. It was a good talk but wish i could of sat in the sun instead of the shade.
The last activity was when we went into the marae. A man called matua john was telling us about the marae and what it was for and about the things in it. There wasthe spinal cord wgich held the whole thing together. The carpet in the marae  was very soft. It was awesome!
When that ended we all went outside and sat down. The kapa haka did their thing again and we left saying good bye to the host people.
We walked out of the gate and hopped into the bus to school.
The day was not fun for many but i thought it was fine and it was far better than going to school.

The Brain

THE BRAIN!!!!!!!

The brain is the boss of your body and is the holder of billions of nerve cells arranged into a certain pattern so that you can think, feel emotion, feel pain and temperature, movement and sensation, and behavior.
The brain stem sits beneath the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum in the head. The brain connects to the spinal cord so that you can make movements and do things. The brains cell are what you call neurons that make up the brains gray matter.
The brain is divided into different parts/ hemispheres. Connected by nerve fibres called corpus callosum. It is simple, the right side of the brain controls all the muscles on the right side of the body and the left controls the muscles on left side of the body.

The Cerebrum is divided into four lobes, frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital. The cerebrum is the biggest part of the brain.  

The cardiovascular system!

BODY SYSTEMS


Body System
What can go wrong?
Looking after your system
Cardiovascular System.

Anemia. Is a condition when your blood doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells or what is call hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the main part of red blood cells and is what binds oxygen to it. If you have unhealthy red blood cells or your hemoglobin is low, the cells in your body won’t get enough oxygen. Anemia is the most common blood condition in many countries. It doesn’t matter what gender, age or race, because it affects everyone equally if you do get it.

What is the cardiovascular system?

The Cardiovascular system is made up of blood, blood cells and the heart and vessels. This system has three main functions


     The best way to avoid or help prevent this on continuing to happen or help stop it is to :
Eat healthy food, such as food with lots of vitamins, protein and iron.

Random post, that teacher told me to post


This is one of my quick writes. Hope you enjoy it!


I was walking around the corner to the bakery, i stop dead in my tracks. I turn my head and notice a horse standing on 2 legs!!!!!
It turned its head the same time that mine did.
It said “ my my what do we have here?”
It wore a top hat and leotards and leg warmers.
I just stood there staring at the thing
“ Excuse my ma’am but do you mind stepping aside for a moment? i'm on my daily jog
I scoot to the side.
“ Thank you so much ma’am, do join me for a cup of tea sometime ok?”
I nod
“ Bye  bye now hope to see you soon “
It turns then sees my face.
It says “ My apologies  ma’am have I scared you with my appearance? I know this get up is disturbing but i don’t fancy jogging in a suit……. Please say something it is not ladylike to not respond to a gentlemen's apologies”
Then everything turned blank.

I thought my quick write was a bit short for my blog, so i added on my persuasive writing. Not done with it thought. Sorry if there is any errors, feel free to correct me.


Peoples thoughts on running is very common.
Not everyone has a liking to do running but It helps prevent you from getting diseases of different types, such as Diabetes. Diabetes is caused by lack of exercise and of the food you eat and what is in it. One of the causes of Diabetes is what you call type 2 diabetes.What it is is what you also call Insulin resistance. It is when you can’t use insulin inside you body as well as you should. It is increasingly common. Because these days the new generation is mostly unfit and make very bad food choices.
Not only can running help prevent Diabetes but it helps your heart in the best of ways.
The heart is a muscle. Like all muscles, it need exercise. It needs to adapt and develop smoothly and exercise is like a medicine of types for the heart to do that. It strengthens and improves it so that when you breath in oxygen your heart can pump it around the body fast and easy to also strengthen your lungs.Which, leads to a good and healthy body.


Now. If you have a high blood pressure then it is because of being inactive. So being active will reduce your blood pressure to a reasonable rate.
But. When you go for a run, jog or some type of activity you will notice your blood pressure to rise, but only for a short time, and once you stop, for some reason for a breather, your blood pressure will shorten and lower down to it’s normal state. The quicker it goes down the fitter you are.
Doing running can also help prevent you from being obese. Like in my statement before, people are making bad choices of food and don’t do regular exercise. Being overweight, lazy and moody. The best way for obese people to exercise without hurting themselves is to start off slow like doing simple stretches then building themselves up into more intense workouts. When you decide to do workouts you need a good variety of foods. To lose weight, you need food with lots of healthy vitamins, iron, protein,and lots of minerals.
Not only does running stop all these things from happening it also lifts the mood. Makes you feel more happier and more lively and stops blood clotting.
Probably the best way to help you from getting  blood clots is to do physical education. Stretches is good but to help resolve them quickly is to do regular running.

Hoped you liked it.

Tech Challenge



Yesterday we did a Tech challenge.
The materials that we had to use was 20 pieces of ice block sticks to make a self supporting bridge with the span of 25 cm gap. That would hold a quarter filled water bottle with the weight of 500g.

The trick my group used was weave the sticks together to make the sticks stick together. The word that would describe it would be Tension.
Making the bridge was hard at first. My idea was to weave them together. Took my group awhile to listen. Near the end we were panicking because if we had maybe 2 more minutes then we could weave the last stick then the bridge would be done. When it was time to hop on the mat Mr Bernie gave us this long as talk. After that we moved on to our bridge and put on a empty water bottle. We were glad that it supported the weight then Mr bernie filled it quater way then one he placed it on the bridge. It stood stable for maybe a second then it broke 2 thirds the way and fell. But the pieces that fell were still in its shape. Luckily we won though.

Sorry forgot to insert an image!

Today after lunch we had a tech challenge. We had to imagine that we were hostages and that we had to deliver a message 7m without leaving the building. We had to make it out of paper, a balloon, dowel wood and paper clips. We came second! Brianna, Renee Amy and me. It was all goods.

Dear Mrs Kinloch - Jones

Thank you so much for everything that you have done.To me to camp was a success. The activities were very fun and challenging.

At camp my favourite activity was the soft archery. It was great watching the adults doing the archery too. THe weather there was perfect especially when reading a book.
The camp was well planned and thoroughly thought out. My second favourite activity was the water slide. Going up then racing down.

Once again thank you Mrs Kinloch - Jones . Hope you enjoyed the camp as much as I did.

Yours Sincerely: Reegan

Transpiration
As many as 100 children were off school in Havelock North due to a stomach bug which may have originated in the Hawke's Bay town's water supply.
Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leave

Evaporate
lose or cause to lose moisture or solvent as vapour

Precipitation
In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail

Impervious layer
not permitting penetration or passage: The pelt is impervious to rain. 2. incapable of being injured or impaired: impervious to wear and tear. 3. incapable of being influenced or affected: impervious to reason.
