term 2 week 1

The first week back was great!I learnt about  rules,algebra,graphs and patterns in maths and I've never fully understood it but now I understand and don't struggle too much!We have a lot of writing to do this term and I hope I can finish it quick enough to have time for everything else.We also have to read and do a book review on a book that has something to do with the holocaust.I chose the book thief and i'm really enjoying it!We also changed our Friday sport And now im playing fun netball,I learnt a lot during the first week back!

term 1 reflection

This term has been absolutely fantastic.The first week I couldn't stop second guessing myself about being in room three but I fit in just fine!I learnt the same amount that I would learn in a term of primary school that I did in a week of intermediate.The year is speeding by and summers over😞.I am glad that I have participated in many things though,such as basketball,french,music [guitar and tenor saxophone],extension art,robotics and many more.Easter Friday is coming up which means no school on Friday but im sure we will learn just as much this week as any other.I believe over the term my maths has improved increasingly fast. I've learnt about integers,place value,indices/index numbers/powers,multiplication,division and subtraction algorithms,prime numbers and much much  more.I have also learnt about where capital letters and punctuation belong in my writing because it is very tricky to remember but at lest I was't the only one who needed to work on it.And in reading I've tried and succeeded in finding a different genre of book that I enjoy.

At school we do  house competitions.This term my house Waipa has competed in three inter house events with the other houses Mangapiko,Waikato and Puniu. First we competed in minor games coming second to Waikato then we participated in swimming and came first but overall still in second place then just last week we had summer games and now Waipa is in third place behind Mangapiko [2nd]and Waikato[1st]😢.

Overall my term has been great And I hope to have an even better one in my following time at Te Awamutu Intermediate School.

camp week 8!😆

During week 8 my class[room 3] traveled to Wellington for a fabulous class camp!The bus trip was eight hours but it felt way longer.My favourite part would have to be Weta Workshop,we learnt how they make movies and how hard it is to be an actor.First we were shown some casts that had to be taken of an actor just in case something happened to them-they looked so real! What I found fascinating was that if they had a full body cast of any actor it was as if they were immortal because if the real actor died you would still have the cast and make movies with him for as long as the cast stays.After we learnt about the casts we just looked at some of the cool things around the place and there were a lot!

I also really liked Capital E. My group went to the Media lab first and designed android apps with Sam while the other group made a video to once upon a crime at the ONTV place then we switched and they did virtual reality instead of the app making and we did ONTV.

Some of the other things we visited include Zealandia [animal sanctuary],Wellington museum[Wahine disaster],snorkeling at Island Bay,Tour of Parliament,carter observatory[Space Place],the Wellington zoo and many other fun things.

This was one of my favourite camp's ever and it was a great opportunity to learn new things!

my 4th learning reflection

We have finally finished all our testing! We had a spelling and a basic facts test this week and we are finished now.I learned to play hot cross buns(a song) on a saxophone that we borrowed from the college because I still dont have mine from KBB music.I learnt how to play A D and E chord on my guitar and im learning how to tune it properly.We had robotics as well. I learnt how binary code works and how to program things to do what you want them to.For extension art we are doing sketches of plants and animals native to New Zealand,I learnt how to shade a bit better so I can have the colors I want.During swimming sports on Friday I think I got a tiny bit better at swimming because I came first in the flutter-board race,second place in the breath stroke race and third in the freestyle race these are the non champ events.It was definitely a busy week and I was very tired over the weekend bye for now!

My third learning reflection

Hey guys i'm back! This week I learnt a lot of things due to the fact that we were doing like 2 tests every day! We did asttle reading,asttle writing,maths,basic facts and probably more.I learnt about index numbers during maths,they are the little numbers above a normal number.To use them you would multiply your number such as 10 by itself however many times the little number is.So if the little number was 5 and your normal number was 10 you would do 10x10x10x10x10x10.

We also learned about rounding numbers to the nearest 10,100,1000,10000,100000 and so on.We learned about decimal places (D. Ps), and where to place them.To do so we needed to be confident with place value. I am a lot more confident now than I was before I learned about decimal points properly. Soon I am going to start learning to play the tenor saxophone so i will be able to tell you about that as well. Thats all for today thank you for reading!🍩😏

2nd learning reflection

Last week I learned a few things but not a lot because I was sick last week.Anyway I learned about square roots,prime and composite numbers and I learnt how to play E chord on my guitar.We had to come up with a sentence for guitar homework for E A D G B E, mine is Every Alpaca Deserves Gooey Boiled Eggs.I learnt why we need a shot at intermediate-to prevent three major diseases,tetanus,hooping cough and diphtheria these are very bad diseases that we all need good protection from. When you are four years old you get a shot to help prevent these diseases and we need a top up when you are around eleven years old.I also learnt some sweet moves during jump jam on friday.Thats all for today thanks for reading!😀😊
