Week 4 Term 3 2017 Reflection
On Monday we found out who the top chocolate sellers were. The top three people got the choice of a Xbox one, a GoPro and a bike and helmet. The person who sold the most boxes sold 26 boxes making $1560. The next person sold 13 boxes and made $780. The person in third sold 11 boxes and made $660. I forgot what else we did last week, but I also recall the maths test that we did on Friday last week.

Week 3 Term 3 2017 Reflection
On Monday morning we had an assembly where we found out that our fundraising chocolate saling time will be extended to the end of the week. After morning tea we had our speech writing. For my speech I am doing it on "the middle child". I will be presenting it on week 4 Tuesday (next week on Tuesday), and the order was chosen randomly out of a hat. In the afternoon we had a cross country run, I didn't do so well as last week when I got 6th in the class. I was one of the last people to come back because I was "including" Te Wehi to run with me. Also, because I twisted my ankle stepping in a big whole and Te Wehi hurt her Achilles Tendons.
On Tuesday morning we had maths where I learnt about the circumference of a circle as well as how to find the area, radius, segment and we learnt also got taught about pi. In the middle blockwe first up did our reading and our reading analysis task, then at about 12 o'clock we moved back onto our speeches. At this point we weren't allowed to write our speech, but we were allowed to put the speech on cue cards and practice our timing as well as reading them out loud. I forgot what we did in the afternoon, but I'm sure we had a cross country run.
On Wednesday morning we had maths. At this maths session I was working on some maths learning intentions about pi that we learnt about on Tuesday. I also finished my maths book so I had to use some pad paper. I don't really want to buy a whole new hardcover maths book, so I am probably going to keep using the pad paper for the rest of the year. After morning tea we worked on our speeches. As in we were reading them aloud and timing them. For my speech I'm doing it on about being the middle child. In my speech I have included facts ad proven statements about the youngest, middle and the eldest child. Also in my speech I am trying to persuade people to think differently about the middle child. After lunch we had the first aid coarse. Sponsored and presented by ASB. In this first aid coarse we learnt how to do the procedural steps when someone hashad an accident. We also got a card with the instructions of how to do these steps. This is what it said...
Adult CPR

Response:Check for response: "can you hear me?".
Send for help: If no response, send for help- 111 for ambulance.

After Daniel teaching this to us he demonstrated how to cover up a wound or a big cut with a bandage. Bailey had a demonstration done on his arm. Soon after this Daniel told us and gave us each a laminated piece of paper with a fake phone and some questions. These questions of which are the questions that the ambulance people will be asking us. After all this, Daniel put us into groups and told us to go to different stations (Bandaging, questions and CPR on dummies). Here are some more photos.
On Thursday morning I had Band. At band we just practiced the songs that we are doing for the band festival in Week 4. We also got some notices about Skating at Murray's Bay which is in a few weeks from now. In the middle block I went to Jazz Band as per usual. At Jazz Band we were also practicing the songs for the Band Festival and we chose our songs for the Festival too. After lunch, I had Robotics. At Robotics I was making a robot. Later on I then moved on to helping Ayrin on her robot as another boy started to take over making the Robot.
On Friday morning I worked on finding the area of missing shapes (something like that anyway). We worked on maths for about 45 minutes. After this, we had French. At French class we were working on the french names for clothes and the colours of them too. We were also putting them into phrases to tell one another what type and colour our clothes were. After morning tea we had Tech Arts. As you know our tech arts is Music. For this lesson we were watching advertisements and we were looking to see how long they run for and what makes the ad attract people in. After watching these ads we then went on to use GarageBand on the Ipads. On this app you can create sounds and music by using all different sorts of instruments. Anyway, on the Ipads we were making some of our versions of ads. Like KFC, McDonalds and much more. In the day sometime I also learnt how to use Bitmojis on this app. In the afternoon we didn't end up having any Maori as to an accident that Fire Rangis son was involved with. So instead we carried on with anything we wanted. At about 2:15 the bell rang for Friday Sport. At Friday Sport we usually do a Cross Country run, but it started to ran for about 10 minutes so we didn't end up doing it. I wasn't meant to be doing it anyway because I would have had to go to WIMS Netball trials and AIMS Football practice. So that worked in my favor as I hadn't got my netball gear ready.
On Saturday at about 12:15 I went down to the netball courts to warm up for my game at 1.10. At netball there are many different teams, from six year olds to 50 year olds even. In my grade there are 10 teams, I'm in grade C btw. So anyway I was playing GA (Goal Attack) for pretty much the whole game. Our team was also versing year 10-11's that play for college. Overall the game was closer than I thought also because we had only seven players (no subs). The score was 37-29 to them. In the afternoon of Saturday Brooke from rm 1 came round to my house. We made lots of cupcakes for the SPCA school fundraiser. We iced them with loads of icing and tried to make animals with the icing on the cupcakes.
On Sunday morning I went out to my friends farm out in Otorohanga. Since Calf Club Day is coming up, we decided to go out and chose a Calf. I am suck between two Calves no.8 and no.2. Both of these Calves are both really good Calves, but I am just stuck on which one to chose. Overall my week has been exciting and can't wait for next week.

On Monday first up we had an assembly. At the assembly, we had three gold badges given out and a load of silvers and bronze badges. On Tuesday morning we had tech arts. At tech arts we have been focusing on music patterns and beats. In this lesson we were focusing on Reggae music.
We were also looking at Bob Marley's music, Three Little birds. We ended up learning how to play most of this song on the keyboard, guitar and on the drums. On Wednesday I forgot what we had team cross country. On Thursday morning I had Symphonic band, then in the middle block i had Jazz band. In the afternoon we were going to have robotics, but we had the college expo. At the college expo the teachers from the college came and showed us some of the options we could take up in college in year 9. Overall, I only have two out of three options that I'm definitely doing. I'm definitely going to be doing Outdoor Education and
