HIIT

Today had HIIT, for this weeks workout we did Push ups, Squats, Tap Step and Star Jumps while we were doing the Tabata timing. During the workout we had some technical difficulties but we pushed on and kept going. We all in the red but two people left, we kept going and there was only one person but the clock was about and at the last second it became red and everyone was cheering and giving each other high fives. We did a really good job this week.  

Tech Reflection

Today was our last day in Pewter Casting with Mr Grundy. What we did today some people were finishing of water sanding, some were taking there pendants home and some were finishing of there work books. I want to thank Mr Grundy for being our teacher for this rotation during Pewter Casting, we had a lot of fun while he was teaching us. In this rotation I managed to make a pendant and finish a box, which I gave to my mother and she really liked it. I can't wait for our next rotation.   

Key into Evaluation- My best day

My best day  

I was four and I had no one to play with. I always used to be sad, unhappy and lonely. But one day mom told me that she had a surprise for me and that I had to guess so I asked if it was a dog, “ she not quit ” , then I asked her if it was a barbie dream house, and she said “ not that close”.  Then she said have one more guess, I said a little brother and she yelled “ Yes finally you’ve got it ”.

Months went by as I waited for my little brother to come. Meanwhile my dad was trying to look for names to give my little brother.

Finally the day had come, there was water on the kitchen floor well I thought it was water until my dad told me what it actually was. My dad called my Aunt to come babysit us while they went to the hospital but I think he forgot that she already came. A night went by and my Aunt drove us to the hospital. My dad out a room and showed me and my older brother to our mom. She was so tired I could see it. My mom said that dad named him Griffin, I said Griffin that a cool name. I can't wait to tell everyone my special news.

Today for Reading working on a DLO about either the best day that we've ever had or the worst day that we've had, so I chose the best day. So wrote about the day got my little brother and in this I explained how I felt, what I was going to do and that I going to tell every one at school on Monday. I really liked doing this because I got to explain a very important day in my life. 

Auckland Harbour Bridge & Sydney Harbour Bridge

Today for Inquiry Mr Johnston showed us a slide he made about the history of bridges and different types of bridges.  We worked in pairs and I worked with Hajera. At the end of the slide he talked to us about our own countries bridge the Auckland Harbour Bridge. He told us about the history of the bridge, when the bridge was built, what is the bridge made of, , Future plans of the bridge and the fun facts about the bridge. We also made a Comparison between the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. 

Decimals

Today for Mathematics we have doing Decimals. I created this DLO to explain to someone how to do decimals and what to when doing this type of strategy. What I did was to First look at the number that was the nearest to the whole number which was 8.1 then that turned into 8.0, than I added one to 6.5 which turned into 6.6. After that I added 6.6 and 8.0 together which equaled up to 14. 6. I really enjoyed doing this strategy because I learned to how to do Decimals.    

Key Into Evaluation- Places to Visit in New York City

Today for Reading I was creating a DLO about 5 place around the Empire State Building that I would like to visit in New York City.  I chose these five places because I found interest in them Star bucks, Model scouts,  Spot Dessert Bar, Juvenex Spa, Panera Bread and the Empire State Building. I would actually one day want to visit these places when I am older. What I enjoyed about this task was to explore google maps and see what these places looked liked.

I've been trying to keep my pace and keep getting better scores Next time I will remember to go back and re- read my story to match my answer.
