7/8 Technology

Technology: Friday 14th February 2020

 Today is our first time going to tech on Fridays we go to Hornby high School. This is my second year going to tech, this year we have the year 6s from last year with us, we have year 7 & 8s Last year we went on Mondays afternoon but now it's Friday which is good.

 Before the bell we lined up to go to the bus outside our school, the bus only takes not even 5 mins to Hornby high. We waited for the Hornby teachers to collect us then we have our first period which is 40 mins. In that time we had Mr Heath for science it was exciting for me first we had to go through this sheet for safety things, then Mr Heath electrocute us by this box thing. He winds it and the whole group expect for some people held hands and Tyler & I were holding the medal thing that gave us pins & needles's feeling. It went thought everyone's hand they thought it was scary.

 After science we had Mr Rees for medal, we only had 10 mins until Morning tea, For medal we have to make something a key ring out of something I made a wave shape with my name on it , others made a whale, a shape. We did all the things we were supposed to do. Cute, file, Drill & ingrave. We didn't need to bend ours but bending was an option.  

Tech was really fun at the end. 

I was kinda getting distracted with all the noise but overall i'm proud of my work! :)

 What I enjoyed: I enjoyed when I got electrocuted in science 

What I've found hard: I found the coping saw a bit hard when I was trying to make my design 

What I would do differently: I would make my name or a different shape

Respect

Kia ora,

 In some days there are ups and downs and that's when people don't show respect. Our Principle, gets frustrated with the things that have been happening in school. So we had a talk and made a deal to show respect to the class and also we want it to be special because of Mrs Lee is leaving this school. In this video I made a video using biteable to talk about respect.

 In St Bernadette's this is one of the greatest things we should be doing in school.Some of you may not know the CERR values but it means Compassion, Excellence, Responsibility and Respect. It's the C.E.R.R value for this term! Not just in school but also, at home and anywhere. Be respectful and always be kind to everyone. I hope this helps you because I want to be in a positive and loving in class next year so I can leave with amazing memories, that we have made, over the year :)

 In class for this term we have been doing reading groups and each group has a passage their reading about, my group is Sophie and we're reading: And the winner is... this story is about Chris: He slammed the door, He cheats in games, He lied about doing the dishes, don't trust Chris to do anything. Dad asked Chris to mow the lawns but he didn't.

Market Day Poster!

Kia ora,

For Integrated Learning this week two students from my class has been organising a Mufti Market Day, for that everyone has to bring a gold coin to support the Kapa Haka uniforms and, Year 8 treat that they're having. This Friday my school is having a Mufti Market Day, every class is making something different. My class is doing Pie Face & Pie Face Game, Waffles, Spiders, Briquettes, Wet sponges & Mrs Lee's Lollies. The Market Day is 2-4pm, our class money that we got, goes to our Class treat next Friday! We all had to make our own posters to show what were selling.

My group is Ella, Kylie & Zipporah, we are doing Pie Face & Pie Face Game! We have decided that we can wear the same thing: Tutu, white socks/shoes, Black shirt, sweatshirt so what station we're on. If you want you can come along and buy these wonderful things that we have made!

How to play:

You pick out a name

Ask them a question

If we get it wrong we get pie faced

We ask you a question

You get it wrong you get pie faced too!

If you get any right we give you lollies and if not lollies then a high five or a free hug :)

Rules: 

Don't cheat with the questions or don't cheat on the actual game

Have fun!

 WALT: Recall how Mary heard the word of God and acted on it.

 For R.E this week we have been looking at Mary and how Jesus became a disciple of God. So the whole class created a google drawing about your resolution for Christmas. I made a google drawing  at got a bible verse from Philippians 1:7-8 and kinda made it my own resolution for Christmas.
