Getting to know us

For our first week of homework we all made a poster about our family. The meaning for this was to get to know each other and get a little bit of a background about our classmates.

Homework

For homework a little while ago we had to make a brainstorm or poster of our family, ethnicity, pets etc. They were all different because we are all different people. This is my one.

Flag debate

At our school we did a flag debate for the students. The is what it looked like in our classroom. I voted for change because since we have the union jack on our current flag that means that we have british power over maori power and I think that it is important that maori comes first. Throughout our school most people voted change.

My self portrait

For art we did self portraits. Miss Fisher took a photo of us and we cut it in half. Then we glued that half onto a piece of paper and sketched the rest. The we put patterns in the background to make the portrait stand out.

<----------This is my one.

Reach poster

We made posters for our school values R.E.A.C.H resilience, engagement, accountability, courtesy and honesty. I did resilience for my value and on my poster I added the value in word form, the definition, and an example of what it looks like.

Wanted poster

We all made a wanted poster this is my one.

Success criteria:
*Reward
*Picture
*Crime
*Name of the criminal
*Age

We did this because we are learning about non-continuous text. A non-continuous is when you draw or make a diagram that explains something without much text.

Gold Goals

My gold book goal for term one and term two is to at least get close to or get a gold award for cultural. 

I will achieve this by doing as much cultural point involved activities as I can I have already applied for keyboard, choir, orchestra and music theory.

By the end of year 8 I hope to have applied for and achieved my honours badge.

Cyber-safety poster

For this task we had to create a poster/mind map about how to be cyber safe and what activities we did to learn that.
