My Goals For Term 4

This term I want to get at least one more badge on my sleeve, I also want to get a principles certificate.  I would like to get something in shine like respect or honesty a second time.  I want to complete some magazine reports so I can be acknowledged for writing something in the school magazine.  Another goal is to pass my flute exam  so I can move onto the second flute book and become a senior flute player.  I want to focus on my school work better and hand my work in on time.

Term 3 Week 7

This week in tech arts we have started science, where we learned about P.O.E.W.  Which stands for Predict, observe, explain, and what if.  On the first lesson we learned about circuits and how they work, using UFO balls.  On the second lesson we lit teabags to help us learn how to do a P.O.E.W properly.   We also learned that fire needs three sources to stay lit, fuel, oxygen, and heat.  On Thursday at band Mr Stanbridge made me play my competition piece, which is Minuet.  I have learned to play a new piece called Fireworks by Katy Perry, and also how to play Pirates Of The Caribbean.  I finished my film review on WALL-E, and I think that it was pretty good.

Week 4 Term 3

This week in tech arts I have finished my pillow, and am now making a bag and a mouse.  The bag has the same design as my pillow, it has a mustache and a pair of glasses, with a blue background.  My mouse is gray with black ears and a black tail.  I received my certificate for the ICAS science test and got merit, and better than 45% of the year seven students that sat the test.  For maths we took two tests one for geometry and one for angles, area, perimeter and volume.

term 3 week 3

This week I stitched my pillow case together, all I need to do is trim the edges and flip it the right way around.  It has a picture of glasses and a mustache on it, they are painted black and the background is dark blue.  In french we learned how to say things around the class and how to say some colours.  We had a session with St Johns ASB first aid class.  We learned how to place people in the recovery position and how to perform CPR and mouth to mouth on a mannequin.

term 3 week 2

This week at tech I have made my pencil case, it is 30 by 34.  It is made of a baby blue fabric with the same colour zip.  I have started making my pillow it's going to have a mustache and a pair of glasses on it.  I have entered a competition for flute, I am going to play minuet.  I am going to play in the band at Murray's Bay.

Term 3 Week 1

This week we have started soft materials,  I have made my first tennis ball out of polar fleece and now I am making a second one.  We will also make a pillow case, a bag, and many more things.  In french we have learned how to count to 20 and how to say and ask how old someone is.  We have done a test on area and geometry, I got 17 out of 33, but I had never been thought most of that stuff so it's okay.  I have almost finished my term three speech, it is about why speeches should be optional.  We had the principle but I'm glad we have Mrs Crowe back now.  I shared my visual art presentation with the class, it was about a girl called Dora Rivkina during the Holocaust.  I am two bands away from my bronze badge, all I need is my excellence band and  my include others band to get it.

Term 2 week 9

This week I started to make a box out of perspects, all I need to do to finish it is to make a latch for it.  We have one more session to finish any thing off on Wednesday in week 10.  In my flute lessons we are learning how to play in a trio, we have to practice a piece that our teacher has given us, next week on Tuesday we will have to play the trio and get marked out of ten.  In class we have learned about ratios, and how to convert them into fractions.  We have also have learned how to change fractions into percentages, you have to turn the fraction into a decimal then multiply it by ten.  For Friday sport I am doing soccer, we tied in both games we played.
