School Athletics Day

This term each class have been training up for the school athletics day. Each student got the choice of going to the competitive athletics at Growers Stadium or tabloid sports back at school. At Growers Stadium each student had to choose which events they would like to take place in. The choices were, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, High Jump, Long Jump, Shotput and Discuss. On the day sunny day of Tuesday 16th of November the 300 students that went over to Growers Stadium were placed in any of the categories junior, intermediate and senior. Kaitlin Petherick, Havannah Pearson and Tauhi Lopeti also broke previous school records. Good luck to all the zone competitors and we hope to get some good results.

Seminars

This term the school students are set a challenge to complete a seminar based on what the enjoy or like, or a career they have an interest in. I have chosen to complete mine on a Flight Attendant. To research and gather information for this I have visited the Auckland Airport and met with a flight attendant to interview and show me around an airport and a plane about what it is like to be a flight attendant and what the job involves.

Current Affairs Quiz

Recently our class have been taking a current affairs quiz on a website NIE Online. The current affairs quiz will test your knowledge of current news and teach you to start learning about what is happenning outside of your life and around the world.

Term 4

This term is sure to be a busy but good term! Many assessments will be taken including PAT Reading Vocabulary, Maths Knowledge, Basic Facts, Schonelle Spelling and Essential Spelling. As we are heading into summer, after labour weekend the students will start to wear hats or sit under the shade, as it will be getting hot we will need to bring drink bottles to keep hydrated. Being a new term my new goals for this term will be to become a class councillor and get good results for my tests and seminar. Another big sporting event will be held this term being school athletics where every student has the option of going in the competitve category which will be held at turners and growers and the fun day will be held at school and bledislode park where the students will be playing tabloide sports.

Maths Extension/Mathex/Entreprenuers/Otago Maths

Over the past 2 terms 2 year 7 students from our class, have been participating in maths extension, mathex, otago maths and entrepreneurs. These are all about maths and learning new skills at a higher level of ability. Recently we had the mathex competition held at the Indian Hall, our teams did quite well with one coming 3rd equal and another 5th equal. Otago maths is a test every second Thursday, their are 5 questions in each test and we are given thirty minutes to complete the test. Entrepreneurs is learning financial skills to do with maths. We do this on a website called The Duffy Club and complete a tutorial every week that the Duffy twins make for different schools around the country. Maths Extension is problem solving and again learning new skills with maths. This is a great way to learn all about maths.

Touch Typing Test

Over the past few weeks, I have been practising touch typing. It is a very hard skill to developeeasily, and is just typing with a cover on top of the keyboard. Today I completed a test for touch typing and received a score of of 35 words per minute. I have improved from my last result, by 15 words per minute, although I think typing with out a cover is much easier.
