Reflection 2017

Goal Setting Term 3 Week 8

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.

Blind light resting on my left hand. Try to grasp it but can’t. Wish i could. On the ground with chains tangled to my feet.

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.
