Tamaki Overdrive

This is a book about a cat and he is watching the thunder clan and the river clan fight for land. After a long fought battle the river clan was victorious and the thunder clan retreated. As the river clan went to celebrate there win a grey cat lay there in the field staring at the night sky. A tortoise shell cat emerges and the grey cat asks if there warriors are okay which they were luckily. This is a book I found in the Tamaki overdrive which is Tamaki colleges own online library. We were exploring the new books that tamaki overdrive have and the thing I enjoy about this is that we can read any book that we want without the hassle of visiting the library.

Kiwi Can taking risks

Today at Kiwi Can we learnt about taking and to start the session we did an energise which was bip bop bounce it's hard to explain but basically you have to say bang when he says bounce and if you say bounce if he only says bip or bip bop than you are out and you can also get out for being to slow. We also did an activity which was called hand soccer in this activity we played soccer with our hands except that everyone had to touch the ball before you could score and you could only use hands instead of feet we took risks by relying on each other and passing the ball around and there was a risk that the other team could get the ball and score for themselves

2 Word Sentence

This is a DLO I made about two word sentences. Two word sentences only have two words well obviously but one of those words is a subject and the other word is a verb so you can turn any compound or complex sentence into a two word sentence as well but you may need other sentences so it can make sense.

Year 8 college experience

Today the year 8’s went to tamaki college to learn about what it is like at college before we started we did the usual tech but we did out first session with mr grundy about making glass panes and then we had our morning tea after that we went to maths with Mr Jones and played battleships then we went to science with Stoddard and learnt about static electricity and how negative and positive charges can attract and detract, when there are two opposite charges they attract and when there are two of the same charge they try and get away from each other we had an example of this when Lyndon was touching static electricity his hair was starting to stick up. When that was finished we had Sub Way for lunch which was delicious and then went to English with Mr Stevenson where we had to memorise 10 words and get the corresponding pictures and finally we went to PE Mr Moyes and we played turbo touch.

Bullying Animation

This is an animation that I made with the help of Oh Hsen, Daniel and Aj. This animation is about a year 8 student standing up for a junior student who is getting bullied. I think it is important to realise that junior students can't stand up for themselves and they need some help sometimes so that's where the senior students come in. We can stand up and speak out for the people who can't stand up for themselves.                           

Capitals

Today for writing I learnt about capital letters and how important

they are in you're writing it might be easy to type a capital letter but sometimes and can be hard to get the capital letters in the write place.

mBot

Today we got to play with an mBot that my friend Lyndon won at the GEG student

summit which was a really cool place we got to learn new things about technology and we got to bring our learning  back to the class to show everyone. The mBot is really cool i is a robot that we have to program. When we were programming this mBot I noticed that we all talked a lot and it made it easier o program it to the best of our ability
