Current Events: The Big Sleep Out

For reading we did current events and out event was The Big Sleep Out. We had to read an article then answer the questions. This was an event that happened last year and 135 people participated. The main idea was to know what events are happening around the world. My point of view changed because of what the homeless really had to go through. It also changed because how they have no place to stay and no food to eat.

Kiwisport: Run, Jump, Throw

Yesterday afternoon Yr7 and 8 had Run Jump Throw. The Yr8s were lucky to have a Andy as their coach. Andy couldn't stay for too long so the Yr7s didn't get Andy to coach us. Luckily Mr Oglivie was the coach for the Yr7s and we got to do kiwisport. First we did our warm up, it was Octopus. Daniel was the winner. After that we focused on running. We had to focus where we want to run to and do check to check with our hands going up and down.    

HoverBike DLO

Sebastian and I did a DLO on advertising a hoverbike. We had to make a poster. So we made it small and portrait. First we had to design it in our book. We had to make people think like us. We needed to find a suitable image after that we had to attribute it. We also had to use persuasive language which was "BRINGING THE FUTURE TO YOU", YOU WILL BE ENVIED BY ALL YOUR FRIENDS, receive a 40% discount! before 15 August, LATEST TECHNOLOGY, 100% SAFE. From that we hope to convince people to buy it.

Careers - Yr7

The Yr7's are learning about careers (jobs). We are focusing on what careers there are. First we had to think from the top of our head careers A-Z. After we did it online. A lot of people came up with a lot of good careers. The next session we will do a random career generator and we will see what job we are most qualified for.

NZ Olympic Logo

This is my NZ Olympic Logo. I could only use images if I attribute them properly. I tried my best putting the images in the correct place. I did this because I wanted to make another Logo for the Olympics but for New Zealand. 

Times Tables - Quizizz

Today morning LS2 went on quizizz the whole class did it together. We had to do times tables. Mrs Anderson started the game and we had to answer the questions as fast as possible. We also had only ten seconds to answer them. The first time was a practice round. The second round I came 4th almost making it in the top three. The third game I cam 21st. On the first question I was in a rush so I pressed the wrong button. We were practising our times tables we did our 5 times tables. I really liked this activity and I think that quizizz is a really cool website.
