Volunteering Reflection

For Volunteering I really enjoyed talking with Mrs. Cochrane about our topic and she said that she wants us to keep going with our Starship idea. But she also said that we should look at the Red Beach School unit where there are special needs children, where we could actually play the games or read books to them. But we have decided to carry on with starship. Yesterday we made a Action Plan but today the computer broke and now we have to start again. So now we have no idea what is next to do!!

Term 3 Week 3

Production Week!!!!! On Monday, it was another full on Production Day getting ready for the first show tonight!!! We all got off school at 2:30 to leave for production!! On Tuesday, it was back to school although we had another performance tonight. On Wednesday, I wasn’t at school because I was sick so I just came to production after. At production I felt really dizzy and yuck so I was unable to do the production. I haven’t been at school since. =( =( =( I was really sad. And I felt a bit sad to Silvie. Although a big thanks to Emily and Nicola who did my role and danced for me!!

Term 2 Week 8

This week was cool, especially on Friday because Mr Barrow brought in his baby and it was so cute!! (Although it looked a bit fake) On Friday we had Mr Hawk again because Mr BArrow wasn’t there and in the last block we did art and we could paint anything we wanted too. I helped Sam and we flicked paint everywhere on her painting and it now looks wicked! On Wednesday, for sports academy a nutritionist came, it was really interesting hearing that a subway smoothie has more sugar than a can of coke. But that it not saying that coke is good for you. Also I Didn’t like Thursday because we had to do fitness with Mr Ross because Mr Barrow was at the hockey thing. It was so horrible!!

Term 2 Week 7

This week was really cool because it was a short week. We started on Tuesday because of Queen’s Birthday Weekend. The highlight of my week was Friday, when we went down to Shakespear to plant trees and help a group called SOSSI. I think I planted over 110 trees! And I got all muddy while doing it!!! Also I liked Wednesday in sports academy we got to teach one class a fitness game. My group had Mrs McHaffie’s Class and they were so cute!! The worst thing about the week was that I left my spelling book at school and now do not know my words, and because today is Friday it is not like I can just go get it, so I’m stuck and I do not know who is in my group so I can’t call anyone =( Anyway on Wednesday, Mr Barrow wasn’t there so we had Mr Hawk and in the last block we made Paper Darts!!! On Thursday, we had food tech and we made Cup Cakes but, I helped Mrs Thorpe make icing. Jazzy and I were attempting to make rosewater Icing, but it failed majorly!! But we got to be the first to make models from the fondant!!

Term 2 Week 6

This week I have really enjoyed Cross Country, because when we did it as years 5-8’s we had to do a lap around the block. At the same time we were being timed so we can record all of our times to see how much we improve. My time was 17:16 minutes. Also this week we had the architect come in to talk to the Waharoa group. And most of the time we were drawing to get ideas for our 4 main Symbols. And it was really cool how she was doing a rough copy but it was really good, and she said that she could make some improvements, and we were all like “what!” because it was really good. Also I really enjoyed food tech because it was impress week and we made our “Mince in The Middle’s” and they were really good and our Lemon Meringue Pie. I had to make the meringue, and it was really cool how after I whipped the eggs it didn’t move when I held it over Sam’s head!!!!!! Overall it was a really cool week!

Term 2 Week 5

This week I have enjoyed production because we got to try on our costumes and I really like mine. When all the Dancing Girls had to try them on everyone on got blue/green/gold or silver dresses to try on and I got to try on the really pretty purple one!!! Also on Friday we had Mrs Lewis because Mr Barrow wasn’t at school. The Waharoa Group had a meeting with Mr Petrie on Friday and we discussed what smaller values fit under the 4 main school values. And we have decided to go on working with Mr Petrie on our Waharoa and only having the 4 main values. And on Thursday, we planed for our impress week on Thursday. And our group is making a Lemon Meringue Pie and some type of Pizza Burgers.

Term 2 Week 4

<span style="background-color: #ff0097; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">This week has seemed to go on for ever!!! On Monday, we ha production and we learn't more of Fat Sam's Grand Slam. On Wednesday, we had Sport's academy. And we started Netball but since there are no proper hoops we shot on the really tall basket ball hoops. And I got most of my shots in. Some time during the week we did this Dictionary thing and we had to write out some of ourwriting focuses and explain what they mean, and give an example. On Thursday, we had food tech and we made an Apple strudel. In the first block, we had German and thenwhen we went to go do P.E some of us got called to have ourTetanis and two other injection and my arm still really hurts. Today in the last block, Lauren, Sam, Renee, Tessa and some boys went to help Colin the caretaker move some old carpets and then we got a free ride on the trailer, and then we had to jump on this massive bin to squash the carpet down. And it was really bouncy, yeah so altogether I think I have had a pretty good week!!!

<span style="background-color: #0000ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Term 2 Week 4 Homework:

<span style="background-color: #0000ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">A Business Proposal is. . ..

<span style="background-color: #0000ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">A business proposal is a written contract from a seller to a interested buyer, or it is a little bit like a Terms and Conditions letter.

<span style="background-color: #0000ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Business proposals are very important in the complicated sales process because it shows them what they can do to a item that the seller agree’s with.

<span style="background-color: #0000ff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">e.g Whenever a buyer consider an agreement/ more than price in a purchase.

<span style="background-color: #004fff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20px;">Reflection Week 3

<span style="background-color: #004fff; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20px;">This week was fun, We have had a reliever all week because Mr. Barrow’s wife is having a baby. And so for the first four days we have had Mrs Hart. And today we had Mrs Morgan and we did some really cool Tiki art with Mrs Morgan, with Mrs Hart we focused on writing letters to businesses to see if they could donate and camp gear/donations toward the year 7/8 camps I wrote mine to my Dad. I also really enjoyed production because we started the dance and I got to try on my out fit for the dancing girl and it is really cool. I also really like Food tech because we found out who won the impress week and guess what. . . We won it again!!!! This couple of weeks theme for food tech is Pastry, and our group made two things Sam and I made Baked Bean Sausage rolls and Amy and Renee made some type of sausage roll I am not quite sure what type they made and there were lots of other pies like Mince and Apple and Chicken sausage rolls. In sports academy we played a new version of manhunt it is when there are 4 spys and the rest are in groups of 4/5 and you have to hold on to a hoop. But you can not let go of the hoop or you are disqualified. The spy’s are like taggers and they have to come and sneak up on you and then tag you, but if you see them all you have to do is sit down and you are safe. So yeah, that was really fun.

<span style="background-color: #ff0000; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20px;">Reflection Week 2

<span style="background-color: #ff0000; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20px;">This week has been busy, lots and lots of painting has been done to try and get our model Waharoa Finished and up for Friday. But we did it in time, I was one of the main painters with Mikayla and Jazmin. Friday was quite fun we didn’t do much school work but we did a lot of moving table and setting up and painting. The most fun part of the day was the last block because all we were doing is putting up the waharoa a nd listening to people sing and watching them dance for the microphone check and Rehersal kind of thing. OMG Mikayla sung Rolling in the deep by Adele with out a backing track and she sounded so good like Adele even though she was in a different key to Adele. . . We didn’t have Food Tech this week because mrs. Thorpe wasn’t there so she is going to announce who won the impress week. Also this week I have made a new friend Alice she is really funny. And in production we are starting to work on extra scenes and next week we are starting the dance for Fat Sam’s Grand Slam!!
