Goals for this term

This term I would like to achieve my 'Be Published' Milestone. If I want to achieve this milestone, I will have to enter myself into the Upstart magazine over and over again until some sort of my learning gets published.

My second goal for the term is to try get 90-ish out of 100 in my basic facts test. To achieve this goal I will have to work hard on my times and divides. 

My third goal for this term is to go through to Hauriki Plains Athletics. To achieve this I will have to do lots of running and practice jumping over high things - For high jump.

Volley Ball

Over the past term Marama have been walking down to the collage to learn volley ball skills from older year elevens. We had to learn the spike, serve, dig and set. After a couple of weeks practicing different ways to hit the ball, we all had to participate in a torment! We had to VS all the other seven teams then whoever came out with the most points won the competition! The team I was in came first equal with another team, and after the competition had finished, each person in our team got a certificate and two Fredos for participating! I enjoyed learning the volley ball skills and am proud of my team for coming first equal!

Term 3 Highlights & Evaluation

Last term all Marama students had to complete either a short film or a presentation of their highlights, and also evaluation on their year. This is my Term 3 Highlights and Evaluation short video.

Lino Cut/Print Evaluation

Over the past four weeks Marama have been cutting out lino prints and then stamping them with ink. You had to do a practice then you got to pick your size of lino. Next you had to sketch a self portrait then start cutting out with a lino cutter. I enjoyed this piece of art because cutting the lino was fun, and also printing and experimenting with different colors was fun. Next time I would like to cut out a background onto my lino to show more detail. Here's a picture of my lino cut and lino print:

 

Milestones

Today I achieved my blogging milestone, I had to check that my blog had two posts a week, that it had pictures/movies on it, and that it had to have weekly reflections on it! I also had to have some sort of feedback from family/Friends, so I got my Mum to take a look at my blog at tell me what she thought of it. Secondly I got my Digital Design Milestone because I made a 40 second ad about 'Spray on shoes' To get that Milestone I had to have made/create something digital and edit it using a computer! Also a couple of weeks ago I completed my Oral Presentation Milestone, because I shared my speech with my writing group, and that counts as a mini audience. Last term I achieved my perfuming arts Milestone by performing J-Rock! In total I have four Milestones and have five left to complete! My goals for next term are to achieve my 'Be Published' Milestone and my 'Careers Pathway' Milestone. The way I ma going to complete these two Milestones are by entering work/art into the Upstart Magazine, and to complete my Careers Pathway Milestone I am going to try get some sort of work experience down in the junior of school - (Because I want to be a teacher) I'm hoping to achieve my other Milestones too in my spare time in school.

MADE Awards

For the whole of this term - (Term 3) Everyone in Marama have been working on either a Commercial, music Video, Drama, Static image or Manipulated image. The MADE Awards is a comp against other schools and collages. I chose to do a Commercial with Maddy, Lucy and Yvonne. Our Commercial topic was 'Spray on shoes!' We shot our Commercial in the school playground, and edited/Added voice overs in the blue room. This took us five weeks to plan the story board, Plan/Learn our lines, Shoot the seances and edit it! Our short 40 second Commercial about why you should buy our non-existing product, made it into the Made Awards! Now we just have to wait and see if we get a place. 

Blokes' day

Today was Ngatea Primary schools Fathers day! In the first session I was with Kennidy and her Popa, We had to make a stretcher out of news paper! Our strategy was to try and roll up news paper, stick them all together, then and handles - Also made of news paper. We did just that but it looked as though it was going to break any minute, Our creation proved us wrong! We ran the obstacle course with a weight on our stretcher finishing on 19 seconds! Then afterwards when we got to break them all up, I sat on our on and it could hold me - For a little while...  After that challenge we had lunch and my Granddad and Dad arrived. After lunch we did another challenge, We had to make a base, then add height, then add a marble hanging off string at the end. Ours was really tall, but it wasn't strong enough, it just kept falling over, so when the judges came to look..... We got disqualified! But it was fun!
