Netbook Reflection 2013..!

This year, the special things I have learned from the netbook was the maths like GCF and LCM that the teacher put up on the class site and my reading, writing and maths has improved a bit  Having a netbook helped me to succeed in my learning. I have learned new strategies and how to blog a presentation slideshow. And, I have learned to  create and share my work to the blog. I have helped many students in my class and ask them if they would like help with their work. I use managing self to succeed in all my work and I also write stories online and read stories. Also I go on to Math Whizz to learn new math strategies. I have been using a netbook that has been connected to internet to do my work. It is so helpful that I have used it to learn things in a variety of ways. I have used my netbook to learn my basic facts from Math Whizz, used templates to improve my writing that is on the class site, and to do research about important things. I reckon that it is better to use a netbook to work rather than using pencil and paper, because it is faster and people from around the world can put comments to give me advice.

National Anthem..!

E ihowa atua,

O nga iwi matou ra,

Ata whakarongo na,

Me aroha noa,

Kia hou a ko te pai,

Kia tau to atawhai,

Manaakitia mai,

Aotearoa.

God of nations at thy feet,

In the bonds of love we meet,

Hear our voices, we entreat,

God defend our free land,

Guard pacific’s triple stars,

From the shafts of strife and war,

Make her praises heard afar,

God defend New Zealand.

Orienteering..!

Today room ten had there first orienteering, our instructors were Leon and Irene. First of all, we learned about all the controls and the symbols of the map. At the end we had a quiz on the symbols and controls, it was very difficult for me because I had remember a few. After we got split into two teams red and blue was a team and there instructor was Irene and yellow and green was with Leon, they gave out paper that had letters on then they gave each and one of us a first letter and we had to clip it. We Leon and Irene says go then we start looking for the next control and we ran clockwise. It was very enjoyable and next week we would be doing it in partner and we h would have our map.

1. Recall-

Give a brief summary of the story.

The story was about Sally Davies competing against other people. She’s only twelve years of age and she is racing against the other twelve year old boys.

2. Infer

What kind of a person is Sally Davies? Tell why you think this.

I think that Sally Davies is a very outgoing person, even though she has just started pumping pedal.

3. Evaluate

Explain why you think the author entitled the story as “Pumping Pedals”

The reason why its called “pumping pedal” because it all about the BMX people getting ready to.

4. Think about it

Why do you think Sally would like to attract more girls to the sport of BMX racing?

She wants more girl to be in the BMX, because she was the only girl racing at the BMX racing.

5. Recall

How are the bikes designed and what are they made of?

The bikes are design like a motorcycle and it is also made out of metal but the tyre and the pedal are made out of rubber.

6. Think about it.

Why did Sally groan as she remembered her first racing bike?

Because she never like bike racing in the first place.

7. Please explain the racing technique called “pumping” and why it might be important?

Pumping is important because it help the BMX people learn more stuff trick and

"Pumping Pedals"

8. Do you think BMX racing is a dangerous sport. Tell why or why not you think this.

No because you where all the safety gear to protect you from getting hurt and also wear protective helmet long-trousers and long-sleeve from falling off the bike during your first lesson.

9. Synthesize

Please tell what you liked most about the story and why or why not you would like to be a BMX racer. The most thing I like about BMX is that you get to do tricks jump off some big off the big hill. If I wanted to join the BMX race my would first have to be trained.

Forever Dance...

This morning room 10 went down to the hall for a dance lesson with our instructors Captain and Christina. First they explain the 3 main rules, then we learned 5-6 moves. Once we have all the moves together because when they said that we were going to do it with the music I thought it was going to be hard but actually it was easy, then we had to repeat it over and over again till I time was over, after when we finish repeating it we had a dancing competition girls vs boy and the judge was Captain when they had announced the winner it was the boy and they were cheering as loud as the audience.

Adventure Camp!!

Yahoo!! On the 15th of September 2013, was the year 7/8 camp. The students of Glenbrae went on an adventure to Great Barrier Island. Every student that had permission to go, they woke up at 5 o'clock and we meet at school with our teachers; Mrs Silva, Mrs Raj, Miss Elia and Miss Maruariki came as well on the trip. Then we travelled by bus to the wharf, then we travelled by a ferry boat to Great Barrier Island, and then we went by bus, again, to the campsite. I was so horrified when we went on the ferry boat and we also saw some dolphin. Once we got to the campsite we got meet our instructors; Jamie, Latesha, Fryer and Kristy. Next Jamie explain where the toilets, cabin and the where all the other thing are. Later then he asked us question about Great Barrier Island. What the different's between Auckland and Great Barrier Island? search and found out and see what it is.
