Term 4 goals

One of my goals for this term is to get one badge on my jersey so then I can have 5.
I want to get my silver badge sometime this term, and I will be pretty happy if I get it.
I still want to focus a lot on reading, so when I get my report at the end of the year I will be above average.
I want to also carry on improving in maths, and try to extend my learning as far as possible.

Term 3 Week 4

In Tech, we learned a lot about the history of rock music, and when it started. I learned how to do London bridge, and twinkle twinkle little star on the keyboard. I also kinda learned how to play Hound dog by Elvis Presley on the drums and guitar. I had so much fun in band quest, and I'm so happy that we got 3rd place, and how we won $100 for the school. I did my speech, and it was 2:59. I'm not a public speaker, but I think I handled it pretty well, and I think it was better than the one I did last year.

Term 3 Week 3

I learnt to save people in accidents. Someone came and taught us how to do CPR, and how to bandage up someone who is bleeding badly. I learnt a lot in Math with volume, and I think I now have a much better understanding of it compared to last year. In Tech, Quin and I are making a blues song, and I'm also making an advertisement, and we have to make a back ground music for the advert on garage band.

Term 3 Week 2

during the week I was preparing myself for Band Slam which is a rock band competition in Hamilton. We performed out original song and it got 2nd place. For music in tech arts, I learnt about Bob Marley and his history with reggae music. I also learnt how to play three little birds on the keyboard, guitar and drums. For Maths, I learnt how to find the perimeter and area of composite shapes. The college came over for the exhibition for next year, and I'm thinking of doing special effects, outdoor ed, graphic design and one other one.

TERM 2 WEEK 9

This week I got a lot of work done from Monday to Wednesday. I completed my argument writing and worked on my Inquiry a lot. I worked on it at home as well, and I've learned so much about Auschwitz, and how the concentration camps operate. I did a slide show for it, but I put on a short video at the end about a survivor speaking about his memories during the time he was there. I only did math on Monday because that's when I got it all finished. I performed the two rock band songs that we learned.  I was really nervous before we started, but as soon as I started playing I wasn't even nervous, and I really enjoyed it.

Term 2 week 8

I found out that I made it into AIMS football. We have to do practice during Friday sport, after school on Mondays, and a fitness session during lunch on Wednesdays. I had to do an argument writing about if people have to wear  helmet while riding a bike. I agree that people should wear a bike helmet, but I think you shouldn't get fined for it because everyone can make their own decisions. My three reasons are: it helps a lot in accidents, it's visual, and it;s not an effort to wear one. In rockband, I 100% know both the songs we did, and hopefully get to perform it on Thursday in week 9, or 10. In base practice I've also learnt about 8 beat notes which is 8 beats in a bar. For food tech, we had to do a cafe. Since in was away on one of the day, I didn't get a lot of time to plan out my dish, but i ended up making raps with mince and a bunch of other salads. I have almost finished my Math, I only got 1-2 learning intentions left. I learnt a lot more that I knew about ratio. I find it quite easy since It's just like fractions. Fraction, decimals and percentages is my favourite topic in Maths, and I'm glad I'm in the extension group because I've learnt so much more. I finished my holocaust book a week ago and planning to get my book review done in a then next day or two, so then I'll have a week to edit. For my inquiry I'm  basing it on Auchwitz, the concentration camp.

Week 3 Term 2

Lately, I've been doing a lot of trials for WIMS football, and they decided who's in the team and I made it in. For Friday sport we had to do training for Tuesday week 4. I'm really happy I made it into the team. This week, I've been learning a lot about algebra. I've learned so much about equations, and bracketing equations and finding the unknown. I'm still reading my holocaust book for my book review, and I love reading (although It's really sad). It had 7 short stories and I've almost finished the book. For Inquiry, the topic is about the concentration camp. I've chosen one called stutthof which were one of the narrators in the short story I read was kept. I found this website that tells you the population of the concentration camps, and Auschwitz kept 1.1 to 1.3 million Jews and executed 960,000 Jews! Because of band camp I couldn't do guitar, base and rock band rehearsal.
