Term 4 Goals 2017

One of my goals for term 4 is to try not to get a reflection. I also hope to get my bronze badge this term. For tech arts my goal is to cook food to a high standard, and for science my goal is to win the bottle rocket challenge. I hope to learn a lot more in maths so I am ready for next year. I don't want to be easily distracted by the people next to me because then I become off task and don't get my work handed in on time.

Term 3 Week 7 Reflections

Last week we had inter house jump jam and Waikato got third and got the bonus point. The week before that we did inter house cross country and Waikato won the whole thing and the bonus point. In tech arts we were learning about fire, so we lit teabags on fire and tested if they rose or not, and now we are learning about forces and gravity. We were also tasting stuff and deciding on what element it was. For maths we are learning about angles in shapes.

Term 3 Week 4 Reflection

In tech arts I completed my pillowcase to a very high standard and now we have all started making a bag out of fabric with designs and colours of our choice. For maths we did a test on area, perimeter and volume and then we did a test on geometry. For reading we learnt more about characterization and conflict.

Term 3 Week 3 Reflections

In tech arts I nearly finished my pillow case and it looks quite cool. For maths we have learnt about pi and about the area of circles. For reading we have learnt about indirect and direct characterization. For writing we are still writing a book analysis on a short story. We did the first aid course on Wednesday and had to do CPR and mouth to mouth on a mannequin which was pretty disgusting. For robotics I have only got one or two challenges to go before I can go and build a robot.

Term 3 Week 2 Reflection

Last week in tech arts I made a pencil case in only one lesson and we have also started designing a pillow. For maths we learnt more about perimeter and area. For writing we are doing a persuasive speech and we are writing a book analysis on a short story. We have also been writing out our student led conference sheets that are happening this week. We have had the chance to sell boxes of chocolate for fundraising for new heat pumps. We have been going out for P.E everyday because we are practicing for cross country. For French we have been learning about the colours and different rules in France.

Term 3 Week 1 Reflection

For maths we had to do a test on area, I did reasonably well considering we hadn't got taught any of it, but then after a couple of practices I did it again and doubled my score. For tech arts we started fabric so far I have enjoyed it because I have been able to hand sew to soft tennis balls, and I have also learnt how to use an over locker. For maths I learnt about different types of shapes and rules for the angles of shapes.

Term 2 Week 9 Reflections

Last week I learnt how to convert fractions to percentages and decimals and vice versa. I learnt more about the holocaust when I was doing my visual presentation. I played dodge ball and learnt the proper rules. I completed my argument writing on bike helmets and I finished my book review. In Friday sport I learnt how to play corner ball and caretu ball tag.

Term 2 Week 8

Last week in tech arts I completed my cut out letter with the LED in them, I had trouble with all the negative and positive stuff because it was really hard. I am now making spinning tops and trying to make a phone holder out of wood, and playing around with the perspects. In maths we learnt how to add and subtract fractions. We have been working on argument writing about bike helmets. For reading we have been working on character types and traits.

Term 2 Week 1 Reflections

My goals for term 2 are still to contribute in as much things as possible and get at least two bands, for respect and something else. I have been keeping up with the work we have been given and I haven't fallen behind yet. We also did pubertal change last week were I learnt about a lot of stuff. I think I went alright in inter-class volleyball last week considering I hadn't really played much before that.

Term 2 Week 6 Reflection

I learnt how to subtract, add, divide and multiply decimal algorithms, I can also convert some fractions into decimals and some decimals into fractions. I can now find the fractions of things in word problems, and sort decimals and fractions into order from highest to lowest and vice versa.
I learnt how to use apostrophes correctly most of the time because we have been doing a lot of practice on them. I can now use apostrophes to show singular or plural ownership.

Term 1 Reflections

I am finding intermediate challenging at some stages. I like the idea of Friday sport, inter-class and inter house sport, and I am really surprised that Waikato house is winning at the moment. I have settled in really well although I just need to keep up with my work and keep listening to the notices and taking responsibility myself. It was cool how the Makuhari students came to our school for a week and shared information about themselves and did a dance for us. I have enjoyed tech arts so far and I am getting to know more teachers and kids. Its good how all the teachers try challenge you to do as much stuff as you can and push you to your full potential. I like all of the opportunities there is such as sporting opportunities, music and academic. I am trying to contribute in a lot of things this year and next year.

Camp In Wellington

I enjoyed all of the places but my favorite places were H20 Extreme, snorkeling and weta workshop. My favorite part about weta workshop was looking at all the guns and holding the Tommy gun off king Kong and the gun off district 9. I liked the snorkeling because I got to see heaps of fish I have never seen before, but it was really freezing in the water. H20 Extreme was really fun because it was a wave pool and we had a lot of people going down the water slide at once. I liked meeting Andrew Little at parliament. I liked the actual camp ground because the jumping mat and the tramp was really cool and bouncy. At the zoo I found it funny how the monkeys smashed the nuts on hard objects to open them and then eat them. I found out that I am not really good at interviewing people as I found that out at ONTV

Week 6&7 Reflections

I liked that the Makuhari students came over and did there dance and all the other stuff that they did. We did a lot of maths and I learnt how to do a a lot of stuff. I have learnt a lot about commas and capital letters and where to place them properly. I can now use BEDMAS, and I know what other types there are. We did a lot of reading tests on the holocaust.
I completed a a lot of reading assignment about random stuff and did really well, and have a lot of points on the online reading tests. I am really enjoying all the sporting opportunities such as AIMS games coming up later on this year, WIMS, friday sport, jump jam

Week 5 Reflections

Last week was probably the funnest week yet because there was a lot of things on Such as swimming sports, W.I.M.S touch trials, super six touch, beating room 16 in inter class softball. I enjoyed swimming sports because you don't have to be a good swimmer to do it. I learnt how to write complex sentences, compound complex, compound and simple sentences.

Week 4 Reflection

I like it how you get to create your own touch teams and you have to be really on to it and organised.

I am glad we have won by a distance in both games of softball and kept both of the other teams scoreless.

I have learnt how to use index notation and powers.

I am getting a lot better at estimating answer and working out the approximate answer.

I can round the numbers to the nearest 1000's and 100's of thousand.

I learnt a lot more about the basic rules of soft ball and about good tactics to use.

Week 3 Reflection

I really enjoyed week 3 because of all the sport opportunities such as W.I.M.S touch making the danish rounders final swimming heats. I have learnt how to use mathletics. I have learnt that your responsible for it if you miss out on activities that is why you need to listen hard to the notices. In music I learnt how to play some tunes on the keyboard and ukulele.

Start of Year Reflections

There are quite a few things I have found out about Te Awamutu Intermediate

There are much more responsibilities to take on sport wise and academic wise I have learnt that you need to be prepared for a really long assembly. You have to be more organised about joining a sport team or joining any thing. I like it how you get to create your own touch team. There are a lot of notices that you have to take and bring back otherwise you start missing out on things. I have found out that my house, Waikato is not the worst house any more.
