My Lego Person That Represents Me As A Learner


I think that this represents me as a learner because I always like learning and I couldn't find a navy blue colour so I just used a blue instead of navy blue and this is the person that I think represents me as a learner. =P

Goal reflection

This week's goal was about collaboration and teamwork. Today when I was playing a game with my friends my friend got my other friend to go out of the slide and then I got him. Yesterday for food tech we needed to get into a pair and then we needed to get the ingredients for gingerbread. We made gingerbread biscuits and then we ate them but I didn't like them so I shared the biscuits. One of the ingredients were brown sugar and we had to use 90g of it. It was really fun making them and we are making some more next week I think so.

The Week's Goal


This week's goal was not to give up for myself I set myself a goal and by not giving up I achieved my goal.

Daffodil Day

So today was Daffodil day and at school we had to dress up as what we wanted to be when we grew up and I wanted to be a paramedic.
And we needed to bring a gold coin donation to raise money for the cancer society.
So the people with cancer can get treated and not have cancer anymore.

And if we got best dressed we got a chocolate bar and we did a mini parade so we could see what other people dressed up so the people that were choose what person the thought could be the best dressed.

Fairven went down to the south island for the first week she did lot’s of things.
The thing she enjoyed most was seeing the scientist’s doing lot's of crazy experiments like exploding a angry bird across the room.

And making teddy’s explode to make them hit the roof. He said “they where trade stunt teddy’s for experiments like this”.

She learnt liquid nitrogen in a bottle and put the lid on it would explode because there was no air in it.
It was in Wanaka and it was on Wednesday.

It was fun apart the times that I fell over and we also had pizza for dinner.
When I was at my dad's the night before my birthday my dad took me to see avalanche city perform live in Taurangua.
Dad got us seats on the fourth row from the front and it was really loud.

LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the ones used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors, much like those most used in robotic vacuums to make sure that it's path is safe as it to its destination. DRU's weather and waterproof acrylic plastic exterior protects the food from the elements while it's aluminium steel interior ensures the pies remain hot. The DRU is equipped with a GPS and Google maps guidance DRU can navigate bike paths and also find the quickest way to the destination. To access there food customers have a unique code provided by the company this doesn't just ensure that the pick-up the right pizza but also it prevents the pies prom getting stolen.

Kurt's Theme Song

The story of my life one direction.

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I been holding on too tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm
And time is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I been holding on so tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm
And time is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

And I been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night 
To keep her warm
And time is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love
Until she's broke (until she's broke inside)
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life

Multiple Intellengences

 I have discovered that when I learn I find it easier to learn when I am listening to music. I think that my strengths are maths and music. I have learnt that it is easier to concentrate not listening to music. This smarts test has shown me how I learn and how much I use these intelligences.

My 100 Word Recount

100 Word Recount.

These holidays my family and I went out and went on the boat. I had a go in the biscuit. When when we went round a turn I fell out and I go annoyed at whoever was driving because he went to fast for me and when I fell it hurt. We didn't really go anywhere else and we also went camping we played spotlight sometimes the most obvious spot is the best spot. My mum tried on the skies and it did not end out well it was very funny. My step dad was driving the boat.
