Term 3 Evaluation

Term 3 Evaluation

This term I have enjoyed tech and science fair. For tech I been have learning how to program Edison robots. This was the first year we used Edison robots. In tech I have learned how to program the robots to do dances, play music and just go in a straight line. Science fair was my favourite part of the term because I went with Xanthe and we worked really hard on a great topic the Xanthe had thought of. The topic was what water grows plants best. The water we used was rain water, chlorinated tap water and sea/saltwater. In the end we got two awards (merit and special award.)

I least enjoyed speech board because I don’t really like talking in front of people. I also didn’t like preparing for it because every time we practised it got closer to the day so I was pretty nervous. When I did my speech in front of the examiner I was shaking and I mucked up on the book. For the   book we had to tell the examiner the title and the author of the book then describe the book and then read a passage. I mucked up because I forgot to describe the book.

I have learnt this term how to program an Edison robot to do dances and to play music, also I learned how to say my Pepeha and what it means. A Pepeha is a way to introduce yourself in the Maori language. A Pepeha tells people how you came to New Zealand and who you are.

Next term I am looking forward to camp and production. This year for camp we are going to Wellington and while we are there we will be visiting the parliament and watching what they do there. I have only been to Wellington once and I am looking forward to exploring more of it. For production we are doing Shrek and since I don’t like talking in front of a whole lot of people I didn’t go for a main part. I either want to be a small fairytale character or a guard.

My two nexts steps for next term is to be able understand more about decimals and how to add them, subtract them and everything to do with them. I want to be able to understand decimals because I am going to highschool next year. Also just to have a great last term of the year as we have a lot to look forward to.

Speech Board

This year for speech board I am am doing Disneyland but we have to include some research, it has to be around 3 minutes long. We do speech board to communicate and confidence. We also have to know what our target audience is and mine is tourists.

Calendar Art

For calendar art this year we got to choose whatever we wanted as long as its not pale or something tiny in the middle of the page. This was the first time I had used the galaxy affect for the bird and I think it turned out pretty well.
