The NED show

Today Paihia School was lucky enough to have a special lady named Nicole. She came to talk to us about how to find our Mindset and grow. While she was talking she was doing some amazing tricks with her yoyos, she had a lovely friend named Ned. Ned stands for Never give up Encourage others and Doing your best. My favourite part of the show was when she was doing lots of amazing trick also when she was doing magic out of the hat.

Staying Safe Online.

The year 7&8s were learning how to be safe on the internet. That means staying safe on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Twitter, Snapchat, Hang Out, Youtube and so on. We were learning about things that  you're not meant to share online. Information your not meant to share online is, where you live, what school you go to, who your parents are and your mailbox number. What I learnt was to never share any of my photos to anyone besides close family and friends.What I enjoyed was learning things about what to share online so that I and others can be safe online. What I did well was listening to what the teacher said and I  was interested in the topic.

At The Disco

Last night Paihia School had our disco, it was really fun  because it was a glow in the dark fair. The PTA sold drinks, lollie bags and also hot food, I bought nachos because they had run out of hot dogs. There  was also a photo booth. My friends and I took lots of posing photos, I really enjoyed hanging with my friends. My cousin Zhynailyah sang Tennessee Whiskey, she was good because she could hit the high notes in the song.

Kindnees

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about how to be kind to  ourselves and others. We learnt that we had to wave and smile to others, because it will make them feel happy, once someone in my class waved and smiled to a parent she came and told our teachers that

”your kids are so beautiful because they are waving and smiling to me it was so cool.” That's what they have been learning to do. I enjoy waving and smiling to others because they wave and smile back. One thing you have to remember is it doesn't cost anything, you just get wave back with a smile. Next time I’ll teach more people to wave and smile to other.

Catapult

Last week in Te Ngahere we were making catapults. Our challenge was to design a catapult with 9 marshmallows, 8 long bamboo sticks, 4 short bamboo sticks, 1 plastic spoon, 2 rubber bands and 15 masking tape. The other challenge was to see how far you can sling shot your marshmallow. I think my group and I have work well together because when ever someone gets lost they would ask for help and we would help them.

Holding My Breath

A few weeks after the beginning of the term 3, my group and I had to read a book called  Holding My Breath we had to  answer these questions and if we did not know that answer we had to read the book again. Our WALT for our reading is WALT: Answer inference questions. Here is my work just click the link.

Reading goals

Last week in Te Ngahere, we created a reading goal google drawing. The WALT was  Identify our next reading goals. We had a reading goal sheet and then we had to choose our goals that we either thought was hard or you haven’t learnt yet. Then we had to write it onto our goals setting google slide. Then we had to write our reading goals onto a google drawing. Then get the teacher to check our reading goal google drawing and then they will print it out and put it on the wall.
