Thinkboard Master - Week 8

Immersion Assembly 2016

Term 2 has just started and to start off this term we always have a special Immersion assembly, all the teachers dress up in costumes to show what their team will be learning about. This term’s topic is “as I see it”. It’s all about art and all of the school Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, Team 4 and Team 5 are working on different types of art.

The focus for Team 1 is “My favourite things”. Team 2’s focus for this term is all the seasons Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Team 3 are learning about building and they actually based their movie and item for Immersion Assembly on a actual program that comes on t.v Grand designs. Team 4 focused their art on comics and making their own superheroes. Lastly Team 5, we are focusing on ancestors and the four waka Hikianalia, Hinemoana, Hokule’a and Te Aurere.

I really liked the Team 3 idea, building, fixing and designing. I really like their idea because you can really go crazy with what you build. I also like their idea because one day I could turn out to be a great builder and maybe I could even build my own dream house. You could make anything that comes to your mind build a house, shelter, shop or even a school.

Team 5 are just learning about art and colours, I do like our topic because one day I might decide to become an artist like Vincent Van gogh, or Picasso. I am really looking forward to this year.  I can’t wait to find out what we'll be doing  this year and I’m also looking forward to learning about more types of art.

The War at Home

This week we learnt how to improve on our predicting skills, I learnt how to use the text to provide clues for the answers and to prove what I thought was right. I had to read the pages in pieces so that I could predict my story. 

Reflection 2016

2015 taught me a lot of things including how to take care of situations that can damage your friendship. Simply by using your W.I.T.S. Each letter in this word has a meaning W= Walk Away I= Ignore it T= Talk about it and S= Seek help. By using your W.I.T.S your communicating with others in a simple way.

What I’m looking forward to in 2016 is learning how to be a role model for 2017. What I mean is next year I’m going to be a year eight and who knows if i’ll be chosen to be a prefect. Practising the 3 r’s will probably help me, meaning Responsibility Respect and Role Model.
