Term 2 Week 2 2017 Reflection

This week on Monday I went to young leaders day. At NYLD (National Young Leaders day), we saw and listened to lots of semi famous people from New Zealand, such as Trina Tamati and Matt Brown. I learnt to never give up and to always carry on, even if you are unsuccessful in whatever you are doing. On Tuesday I learnt at my clarinet lesson a new note. I also learnt how to play some confusing songs that got given to us last week (week 2). On Wednesday we had Inter-class Vollyball. We ended up winning to room 16, 46-21 (or a score similar to that). I learnt how to serve properly by some of my teammates. On Thursday I had symphonic band in the morning block, Jazz band and school singing in the middle block and Robotics in the afternoon block. At Robotics I learnt how to program the sphero to go through a custom track made with block sticks. Te Wehi and I decided to make a track that both of our spheros can go on at the same time. We made it like a mirror, so the spheros would do the exact same thing, but different direction at the exact same time. We only ended up programming 3/4 of the track, but the track was quite long and had lots or corners. And on Friday we had French in the morning, Tech Arts in the middle block and we were meant to have Friday Sport in the afternoon block, but it was raining so it was cancelled. At Moari (instead of Friday sport), I learnt what a wide range of Moari words mean. Such as Moana means Ocean and Aotearoa actually means Land of the long white cloud. Overall in my week I learnt heaps.

Week 3 Term 2 Reflection 2017

I have totally forgotten what happened last week. But I do remember the maths we did. At maths I learnt how to solve equations using backtracking. I have been taught two different ways... The first method is by using backtracking, with the squares and arrows. And the next method is when you take off the numbers to find X (or whatever letter there is). On Tuesday or Wednesday, we had inter class Dodgeball. It was against room 2, we won two games and we decided to let them win so we could play more. After that game, the next game was close and we ended up getting a draw. They tallied up the points from the games and we ended up winning against them, because we had more points. On Wednesday and Thursday, MataMata Intermediate and Cambridge Middle school came to our school for the annual Music Band Camp. We practiced our peices and played a concert on Thursday night. At food tech on Friday, we learnt how to make Piacattia bread and proper pizzas, with the proper base. Overall, I forgot what mostly happened, but I did have fun at volleyball and tech arts.
