My Prototec Results

Over the last couple of weeks Rimu class have been recording their Prototec (maths tests) results on a google drawing graph we have created. Prototec is site that lets us practise our Maths Basic Facts/Times Tables/Percentages etc. It has helped me along the way to achieve my Maths goal. An advantage of Prototec is you can choose the Maths stage you want to be tested at, and you can press 'mark' at the end and you can see how you got on straight away.

Here is a link to Prototec to try yourself: here.

It's not really hard, there's just some odd ones I get wrong. It's important to know these facts because we use them all the time.

Here’s mine hope you enjoy!

Digi-Awards

At the start of this term we started making our Digi-Awards

Jack,Shukoor and I made a Digi-Award and we were in the movie making category and the topic is 'Be the Change.'
I really enjoyed filming it because it was hard geting the camera angels.
The challenging parts were getting the camera angels.
If I did it again I would take more time.       

                       

Hope you enjoy!  Here's the link:

Term 3 Timetable

Here is my Term 3 timetable. Here are my goals at the top. I will be following this all term. It changes sometimes depending on what we're doing and what my needs are. Green coloured boxes mean I've done a really good job - completed everything and been on task. Orange is kind of. Red not at all. This term I am looking forward to our 4th Outdoor Challenge in a few weeks which is a bush survival skills day. Enjoy!

My Mid Year Reflections

Rimu Class WPCA Rock Climbing

For this post I was focusing on using different time connectives at the start of my paragraphs. I think it makes my writing better. What do you think?

On June the 20th the Year 7 and 8 students from Rimu class hitched a ride to Cattlestop Crag on the Port Hills to try another WPCA challenge and this time is will be ROCK CLIMBING and ABSEILING and I was buzzing!

When we got there we had to get a harness and a helmet and then we had to walk in and it was a great view.  It wasn’t a very long walk and then we met our instructors, Josh and Steven when we were walking. Eventually we had a chat about Pride and Resilience and we did that because they were the values we were focusing on that day. So we got climbing and I started off with the easiest one first.

Soon after, I finished that one so I waited for a bit and then we were off to the big one - the ABSEILING! I were feeling pretty nervous about ABSEILING because you go straight down a steep cliff and I was set to go! I had climbing shoes and a harness and Josh called my name and I was up to go ABSEILING. Yay this shall be fun! It was straight down a cliff - wow that was exhilarating!

Finally my group walked back to Base Camp, we started to pack up and  walk back to the cars. So we took the shorter route back to the cars and we headed back to school and luckily we got frozen cokes! That was our day ROCK CLIMBING!
