term 1,2,3 and 4 reflection

For term 1 we came to school an in the first week or two we had a camp. We went to Spencer park for a night. It was cool because we made our own dinner and put up our tent and did cool activities. After that we went in lock-down and had to quarantine. About a few weeks then we had online school. Lock-down was probably the most fun thing for me this year because me and my family did cool things, and it was fun working with my mum for online learning. Quarantine went for about 6 weeks and went through to term 2. When we came back from quarantine we just did nothing for 2 weeks and playing games and having fun. Term 3 came and it was so long. We had to do 20 something weeks of work my teacher said and that. But  the best things that we did was skiing, sailing, adrenaline forest and  William pike challenge. For term 4 we have done athletics, we have done a lot of surfing and a lot of work. Also all the year 8's and year 7's went to jellie park but I didn't because I was sick. For the upcoming weeks for term 4 we have the AMP show and the year 8 formal.

question math quiz

 Today for maths we did a 100 question math quiz. The teacher had to time 10 minutes and you had to finish in between 10 minutes. The first test was a multiplying test and the second test was a division test. The first test I did I got 100/100, and my time was 7:09. And the second test I got 100/100 and my time was 8:02. The test was pretty fun.

New Playground

I am going to write about what I think about our new playground. The playgrond is cool but there is one thing on there that carries the playground. There is a spinny thing on the playground and you can sit on it and people can spin it for you in order for it to spin. Everything else in the playground is pretty boring, there is a big slide, a wooden swing bridge, monkey bars, swings, and a big platform. The playround is smaller than the other playground which sucks because the old playground was bigger and we used to play busted on the old playground. But this playground you can't play busted because there isn't much things to play it on. There is my opinion for the new playground.  

Mathhs construction

 

for maths today we made an octogonanal pyramid. This requires cutting out colored paper and then fold them and make them into the shape. There was 3 seperate peices we had to cut out for the base to be able to make it. It was sorta fun but hard

maths

 

Today for  maths we had to  make a cube and a 3d triangle. This is my triangle it was sort of hard but it was fun. For the cube you had to make the sides 3cm wide, you also had to make flaps on it so it could fold up to make the final shape. It was awesome.

Surfing

This morning a group of us went surfing. My only friends I knew there were Adam, Yago, Ashur and Angus. We had to go to the shed and pick a wetsuit and stock surfboards in a container attached to the van. When we put up a surfboard each we got in the van and drove to the beach. When we got there we put the surfboards from the van to the beach. When we each put one to the beach we got changed. After I got changed I went down to the beach and waited for the teacher Mr Redmond to come down and give us drills. After he gave us drills we got to go and surf. The waves didn't look big but when you were in the water they were big. Me and my friends Angus and Yago were sticking together and just mucking around in the water. I caught some waves but most of the time the waves didnt crash at the right time. After about an hour we had to get out and get changed. We all put the surfboards in the container and then got in the van and went. 

Test

Today after first break we had to do a test. The test was a Maori test. We did the test on nzcer.online.co.nz. The test was just about what you say if someone greets you this in maori and a bunch of sayings in maori and how you react. Some of the questions were like what does this mean in english and it will have pictures of things on your body like mouth, ear, nose and hand. You had to guess the right one. There were about 25 questions, I got more then half of them right because I had no knowledge of Maori whatsoever. And after the test we just got to go on math games and then go to break.
