Digital Dig

In Te Ngahere we have been working on a google side and completing sides by adding shortcuts to help us know how to work on our chromebook faster. I have learnt how to use a shortcut to take me to a side with all the shortcuts which is Ctrl Alt /. Next time I will be focusing on using my chromebook in a better way to help me work faster and finish things faster by using the shortcuts I learnt and already knew. I have created two DLO’s to share with you and help you with your chromebook.



 

                                       

The Tournament

Last week and this week our amazing teachers have organised a Turbo Touch tournament for our class. The students in my class we got to make our own groups by ourselves with the kids in our class. After that we made group names which is team Tokers, Champions, Crazy Horses, Seagulls and Cigars. My team is team Tokers with 8 players. Last week we came a tie with Crazy horses, when our teacher counted the points up together. This week we won the tournament with 8 points on our first game against Champions also with 4 points against Crazy Horses. Thank you teachers for organising something this cool for us. Have a great and wonderful day.

Basic Facts

In Te Ngahere we have been practising our basic facts every day. I am learning my divisions because I have already finished my multiplication. I really enjoy doing my basic facts because it's something different to do than reading and writing. I only have 5 sets of divisions left which are my 6s, 7’s, 8’s, and my 9 divisions. I will be adding a chart of my division basic facts down below. Thank you for using your own time to read my post.

Technology

Last week Wednesday The year 7 & 8’s started our first day of technology at Moerewa School. The year 7’s did woodwork and the year 8’s did cooking. I was in cooking and we made Frittatas which was yum. It was my first time learning how to make Frittatas and I enjoyed eating them because they were so good. We started by chopping up all the the vegetables and then we put some eggs in a pot with flour and cooked up the bacon. We mixed spinach, potatoes and pumpkins all together with the eggs and flour. Then we put them in a dish and baked them in the oven. This term I’m in cooking class and term 2 I would be doing woodwork. I really can’t wait.

New Game

On our second day in Te Ngahere we learnt this new game from our new teacher Whaea Shanna and this game is called Turbo Touch. I learnt that the game you can pass the ball in any direction. I enjoyed going against different teams from my class so I know what I can work on next which is how to pass different.

How you play turbo touch, you always start with the ball in the middle of the field, you start the game by touching the ball to your foot. The active zone is only open after two passes have been done or a intercept from the other team that has already passed the ball twice, The active zone is where you place the ball down its called a try. The next rule is that if anyone gets touched in you team twice when they are running with the ball then its a handover. On defence you have to be 2 meters away and on attack you can only hold the ball for 2 seconds because if its past 2 seconds it would be hand over.

Rules

Tempting Tangrams

In Te Ngahere I have been learning how to make Tempting Tangram. We were given two sheets with the Instructions and the other for the activity. Using the instructions sheet, we were able to create a parallelogram using all our shapes from the other paper that we cut out. After following the steps (which was hard), we couldn’t overlap or cut the shapes into another shape to make the parallelogram. We had to use the shapes and combined them together to create the parallelogram was is challenging and fun for my group. I got excited when I first made the parallelogram.

Camp

Last Monday the Year 7 & 8’s went to Wellington for camp. The reason why we went on a camp together is because we wanted to make memories before the year 8’s head off. We stayed at Te Herenga Waka marae for a full week. Every morning and night we had amazing meals that were cooked for us. They also made lunches for us to take out for the day when we went out exploring. Every day was action packed and we travelled to lots of interesting places. The presentation will explain what we did throughout the week.

presentation will be uploaded soon
