Term 2 Week 4

On Monday, we had a very short assembly this week which was really cool. We learnt that their are heaps more types of adjectives. Their are
Number adjectives-Their are four ducks near the lake.
In this case, four is the adjective because ducks is the noun.
Indefinite adjectives- The chief has heard many things around hear.
Indefinite adjectives do not point out specific things. They are formed from indefinite pronouns. (no, any, many, few, several ).
Demonstrative adjectives-If I hear that parrot again, I will call the RSPCA
Demonstrative adjectives are used to demonstrate or indicate specific things.( This, that, these, those)
The Articles- The wall is very tall with a lovely painting on it.
Articles are words that describe words or could be replaced by words like A or The.
Also on Monday we had ALC time after lunch time. We were put into teams and the people who confidentially know the game had to teach the people who have barely been introduced into it. I found it quite fun and easy to be honest.
On Tuesday we never had Tech Arts so we had to finish off work. On Wednesday we learnt about different types of characters.
Flat- A flat character is a character with very few character traits.
Round- A round character however is a character with heaps of character traits
Dynamic- A dynamic character is a character that grows throughout the story.
Static- A static character is a character that doesn't change or grow throughout the story.
Antagonist- The antagonist is usually the villain in the story or should I say the person against the Protagonist.
Protagonist- The protagonist is the angel and is against the antagonist.

EPRO 8
The EPRO 8 was really fun. You have to complete a whole series of challenges in order to get points. Some of the challenges are quite challenging but you don't more points than the easier ones. We struggled on the electricity part but at least we knew what we had to work on and leave the most time on.
On Thursday we learnt a new song in band with the Senior band and Junior band. It was so much fun to work with both bands. At Kapa haka we were taught a new song for our bracket. At Robotics we had program and create a track that went onto a second level with five corners and one had to a 45 degree angle which was hard master.
On Friday we did a little task on adjectives and learnt how to do division algorithms involving decimals.
So what ever you do to make the decimal a digit or a number you have to the other side and move it to the right how many places. At Food we made banana cake or butterfly cakes. My one wouldn't for some reason cook but you know, I didn't care because I got to cook a little longer than normal. Then we had AIMS Netball practise which was fun. We learnt who our coach is. Luckily she has coached me before so I can't wait.

Term 2 Week 3

This week was actually quite cool. We had pupils from Matamata School and Cambridge Intermediate come and perform with our schools symphonic band. On Monday we had a magician come and show us a few tricks. That was really cool. We also had our volleyball session where we learnt how to place yourself and different skills as well. We learnt how to set the ball [volley] and a few exercises on how to improve our skills. Th video said that all your power comes from your legs and you push the ball with your fingertips. We also learnt how to bump the back to one another. You put one hand on top of the other and you want the ball to hit your fore arms and not your wrist. They said that you have more control over the ball. On Tuesday we had Tech Arts and we did food. It was so much fun. We planned out our lesson and started cooking Crispy cheesy corn rolls and crispy dip sticks. Surprising, they were very nice. On Wednesday I learnt how to find the unknown on both sides but still didn't get it. Instead I just helped my friend [Caitlyn] another way on how back track. The way I do it is say you got

3D+8=23

You would do inverse operations. So basically the opposite.
23-8=15

This how you would write
   3D = 15       (-8)
You would put take away 8 in brackets on one side.
Then you would do what it equals
Then you put whats left.

     D=5      (divide by 3)

That's what I do and taught Caitlyn
 After Morning tea we went to the ALC to see what we needed to do for band. Junior band was in the hall and senior band was in the ALC. The drum line was in the music room and the choir was in the dance and drama studio. In the afternoon I decided to move myself into Senior Band because the music was very easy in Junior band. I picked up on the music very easily.

We had an afternoon practice and we had dinner in the hall. Then we practiced with choir for the combined pieces. On Thursday the Junior went back down into the hall. We practiced the whole day. We did a school performance to the school in the afternoon block. Around 7:00pm we a show for all parents to see. It was really fun. My favourite thing was the drum line. On Friday we had Tech Arts. We made Foccacia bread and I was so amazing I got a signature. In the afternoon we did a skills session with our AIMS Netball selector. He taught us about stable positions and all of the different types of passes. It was really fun and I made it.
