Tuakana-tenia

For the Tuakana teina thing we did at school on the first week back we did a Tuakana teina thing and we had to choose what level we sat. I choose Tupu it sat in the middle of Tuakana and teina. What Tupu means for me is that I still have more growing for me to do in my learning. I need to grow more to get to the next stage in my learning and life.

And Tuakana teina also means the relationship between Tuakana and teina (Expert and Learner).

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.

There was lot's of different theme's but me and my friend did a beach themed one and at the bottom of the container there is something white and the white thing is a shell and we have more shells in the sand aswell.

 We put a few Lego people on it aswell and my friend made a life guard hut and put a Lego motorbike on it aswell he brought five Lego people.

I really had a good time doing this activity and I hope we do another on later this year with lot's of different idea's.

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.
What was my goal you might ask my goal was to finish my AWS book by the end of the term and I finished it earlier.
This goal for this week has made me think more and if I don't give up I can do anything and achive any of my other goals that I have for my self.
I really enjoyed this goal If I haven't had set myself this goal I would never have completed my AWS book before the end of the term.
This has been a really good goal to have and If I need something done I will NOT GIVE UP!!!.

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.

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.

My report on Fairven

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 a vacuum cleaner marshmallow shooter.

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.

And she stayed at the South island for a week.
