**Week 9 tests:**

 * This week we have had a few tests. On the P.A.T maths test I got a stanine nine and I am happy with that. On the asttle maths test I guess it was okay. I'm pretty sure I got most of them right. On the reading P.A.T test, I did not go so well as all I got was I stanine six which is bad for my standards. I was hoping for at least a stanine eight. Well that is all so I guess until next time C U Later =C.**

**Week 6 English:**

 * This week I learned how to find the capacity. 1 L =1000ml. 1kl = 1000l. 1ML = 1000000L. 1 cm cubed = 1ml. 1L = 1000cm cubed. 1 kl = 1m cubed. I also learned also found out how to find the volume. All you have to do is multiply the height by the width by the length. Well I have not had much to write about but until next time. C U.**

**//__Week 5 math:__//**
====**//__Hi I'm back. Well this week I learned how to find the circumference and area of a circle. To find the circumference of a circle, you times the radius by 2 by pi. To find the area of a circle you just times the radius squared by pi. Obviously you will need a calculator to do this or if you don't you must be really smart. Well until next time C U Later >=P.__//**====

**//__Week 4 math:__//**

 * //__This week I learned about perimeter and area. For area all you have to do is length x width and for perimeter all you have to do is add up all the sides. This was not anything new. I also found out how to find the area of a triangle. It was just revision. Next week I will have a lot more to type about. C U Later >:p__//**

**//__week 3 reflections:math__//**

 * //__This week I learned about scale factor. All you have to do is double the size of it if it was scale factor 2. I also found out the difference about true points and compass points. Compass points and are The regular points that are like SW and NW. True points always go clock wise and start with north. Well that's it so until next time your just going to settle without me. Bye :-O__//**

**//__Term3 week2 reflections: Math__//**
Well I'm back from my 2 week holiday and I have learned a lot of things in the 2 weeks that I have been here. I have learned about rotational symmetry. All you have to do is turn the shape until it is in it's original position. For example if it you are trying to find the rotational symmetry of an equilateral triangle(That's a triangle that has all equal sides). Every time you turn it on a corner that counts as one so an equilateral triangle's rotational symmetry would be 3. Well until next time C U later.

**//__Term2 week 8 reflections:Math__//**
Well it's been a busy 3 weeks but I've learned a lot which gives me a lot to type about. We have been learning percentages and I've learned that all you need to do to change decimals to percentages is to make it out of a hundred. We also learned how to change fractions to percentages.All you have to do is make decimal out of a hundred. Well I thought I would have I bit more writing so I'll type next week and see what happens next.

__//**Term 2 week 5 reflections: Writing**//__
Well last week we finished descriptive writing and and got onto recount writing. This week we got a choice of what animal we got to write about. I chose the orca. I am almost done with my notes but then I have to try and have a natural flow in my report and that's really hard for me to do.I guess I will have to figure it out.

Term 2 week 4 reflections:
Sorry I haven't kept up to date with my reflections but it has been really busy around here. Any way In maths I have learned how to divide fractions. You just have to turn the last fraction upside down and then multiply all the fractions.We are going to learn decimals next which I will love. We are probably going to learn about multiplying and dividing fractions. C U later >:P

**//__Term 2 week 1 reflections__//**
Well it has been the first week back at school and it's going to be busy as well. This term we have to do two book reviews and 2 pieces of poetic writing plus our inquiry which is about the holocaust which is basically the Nazi operation. What I've learn t is more sentence combining and some character descriptions. Later on we will have to do our own character description and it has to be real not made up which really stinks cause I wanted to do a weird looking alien. For maths we have to do order fractions turn them into decimals and stuff like that and I think I've got it. It's really easy so that's okay.

__//**Term 2 goals**//__:
====Well I'm back from vacation and now that mean Term 2 goal. I think my learning goal should be to improve my writing as when it comes to combing sentences I'm always using clumsy sentences. I will do this by trying to combine simple sentences at home. My sports goal is to win at table tennis. I will do this by practicing it. My goal outside of school is to improve my mind and I will do this by doing logic puzzles.====

** Term 1 reflections **
====** Well it has been a great term. I have managed to stick to my goal and get most of my work done on time **. __**//The only work I haven't completed is my vocab sheet and my camp recount but I think I can get that work done on time as well.//**__ **I can't believe this term has gone so fast. For maths we learned probability and for Literacy we learned how to use adjective clauses.** ** Today is another day where we have an Inter-house competition and this time it's Inter-house sports. I hope Puniu wins today. I am in softball for Inter-house sports. **====

Week 10 reflections
====Well we are back from camp and we have been working hard. We had to finish our book reviews, do more probability this time with mixed events. do more literature. It has been very busy. But I did get to go to the science roadshow and that was awesome and tiring at the same time. But in our breaks we did get to play with the exhibits.====

**Day 1:**
====We went to the army museum and learned about world war 2. ====

**Day3:**
==== **went to wildlife sanctuary. It was awesome I found out that trees can be poisonous. We went to parliament and learned about the Government and how the parliament is earthquake proof. They have these types of plates that are so deep in the the ground the earth quake doesn't effect them.** ====

**Day4:**
==== **Sound-house was awesome. We made music for game trailers I got Lego universe. After that we went to H2O extreme. The water slides were fun and so was the wave pool plus but I'd say the funnest thing would be the river ride. It had this sort of current that dragged you along to the other end. Most people tried grabbing the bars so the current wouldn't take them but it was no use.** ====

For the past couple of weeks we have learn t stuff like factor trees. A factor tree is really just a graph to show where the factors are to get an answer.
Here's an example: 80

2 5
====That's pretty much what a factor tree looks like. Another thing we have done is learn exponents and explained ways of using numbers. This is an explained way 5x5x5x5=625 To turn it into an exponent way you do this you do a normal five. Then you do a little four showing how many time it timesed itself.====

﻿**Week 7 Term 1: English**
====In the past few weeks we have been learning about different kinds of sentences. One type is compound sentences where to independent clauses join to make a longer sentence. Another type of sentence is the complex sentence. These have one main independent clause with others being dependent on it. For example She could paint amazing pictures although she was only six. (Although she was only six doesn't make complete sense on it's own.) I'm still learning different things about English but It's my favourite subject and I will still keep trying to do better.====

Week 6 Term 1. Tests.
====Yesterday we got our test results. I was shocked to find that my stanine result for listening was stanine 5. I thought I would've done better than that. That's why I am going to improve my listening and get at least a stanine 7 on the next listening test. I will also improve my vocab because I got a stanine 6 on the vocab test. My other tests I was happy with but I'm still going to improve so I get higher stanines but those were the 2 I really need to improve on.====

** ﻿ Week 5 Term 1 Science. **
==== I have gotten into Science club and we are learning about animal adaptations. I chose my animal to be the leafy sea dragon. Next week we are going to Hamilton zoo so we can learn more about our animals adaptations. I am going to work really hard because I already have another topic that I'm working on and it is to show how earthquakes are worse than flooding. I'm going to be hard at work on that inquiry as well. ====

** Week 4 Term 1. Maths. **
==== In the first couple of weeks we did timetables for maths. I was good at it but I guess I mucked around a bit so I had to stay in at lunch time to complete the work. I learned how to convert 24 hour time into 12 hour time by taking away 12 hours to the 24 hour time. We were on to metric measurement. I did work hard and learned how to convert different measurements. We are now on to 2D and 3D shapes. I will work hard and won't have to stay in at lunch time to finish it. ====
