Proud of my Maths

Over the past two weeks my Maths group have been learning about how to work out questions using a formula. At first I didn't know how to use a formula or how to create one so I went home and asked my Dad because he is really good with maths. Now I know how to use formulas and I think that they are a really fun way to work out maths equations. In the first worksheet we done I got all my questions right apart from one, and on the second worksheet - (Witch was a little harder) I got just over halve of them right! So far this is my favorite maths task I've done this year. 

Zentangle art

Since the start of the term we have been doing Zentangle art with only sharpies. Zentangle art is a relaxing hobby where you can just sit down and draw patterns all over a piece of paper. It's different to drawing because you have to make it really really detailed. Lots of lines and lots of different patterns. We first had to practice on a little piece of paper then we went onto doing it on a big piece of colored paper.

These are my two Zentangles so far.

My second practice

I'm onto a third Zentangle art and it's my name in block letters. I'm zentangling the inside of my block letters.

The first Holidays 2013

Over the holidays I invited Lucy to come to the movies with the rest of my family, and one of my brothers friends. We went to the Pukekohe Cinema three theater to watch The Croods in 3D! The Croods is about a young caveman teenager who hates living in a cave with the rest of her mad family. Shes always running away and hiding, and one night she sneaks out of the cave and follows the light from a fire. When she reaches the fire she realizes that there's a human camping out there and then the human called Guy tells her that the world that they are living in is going to end. Her over protective Dad doesn't believe her until a huge earth quake happens and their cave is crushed. The teenager is called Eep, and Eep and Guy end up liking each other. Eep's Dad decided that the family needed to move away from the area so they start to walk to a high mountain, and Eep convinces her Mum and Dad to let Guy come along, so that he can use his human skills to keep them safe along to journey. Thats when the adventure starts and eventually the caveman family finds a place really awesome to live!! The best part about watching this movie was that I got to watch it in 3D with a really cool friend! We got to have a drink, M&M's, Skittles and popcorn while we watched the movie! After the movie we went to Rebel Sport, and the Warehouse, and at the Warehouse I got Geelez, they are these stickers that you paint the you can stick them anywhere, and the best thing is you can re-stick them again.! At the moment my favorite movie is The Croods!

Term 1 highlights and evaluation

In this last week all Marama students have had to evaluate their term as well as explain their highlight. This term we didn't have to do it on a document, we were a loud to do some sort of prestitaion and I chose to do it on my computer movie maker. Heres the finished product, hope you like it.

Our food impact blog

Over the past term I have been part of a food group called the kick starters. Our target for the year is to get kids of all ages to eat lunch/breakfast. We have been searching on the internet and looking at what we could do to get kids to eat healthy meals. We have diced make a lunch order or a breakfast at school, so that people can come to school and eat if they haven't had the time to eat at home. We have sent out an online servery to the rest of the Marama syntactic to see what their thought were, and if it was a good idea. Our results have come in that most people eat breakfast, weather their lying or not we have to believe the servery. We will most probably make a healthy lunch order so that people on a Friday that have empty pantry's can order their lunch at school. Our main porpoise is to get kids at Ngatea School to eat healthy!

My Reading Creator

This is my plane that me and my Dad made from the book Hatchet. I had to make something creative from the book Hatchet as my reading role creator. First I cut out the shape of the plane and the wings, then when I got to school the next day I painted it blue. The reason why I choose blue is because on the front cover of the book when the plane is being struck by lightning, it looks blue. I'm proud of this because I thought it would turn out different, but in the end it turned out better.

This is my plane from Hatchet:

Netball

For netball this year I was selected to be in the Ngatea A Squad! The A squad are the top netballers from Ngatea Primary School 2013, and I'm one of them! All of the A squad had to re-trial for the top two teams, but I didn't quite make it into Ngatea one (The top team) I don't really mind being in the second best, because I know that Ngatea one will be really hard, and plus the team I'm in is a really good team. I'm looking forward to our first training on the 4th of April, and my coach is a teacher from school so thats going to be a little different. I'm proud of myself for making it into Ngatea two because thats the highest team I've ever got into at Ngatea School!! I can't wait till netball starts this year..... It's going to be the best!!
