The gun went off. We ran. 1 minute later... I was puffing. Another minute later... My body was aching, a stich was forming in my stomach. Another minute later...

"1 lap, another lap and I'm finished." A few seconds later... My throat was on fire. The scorching sun wasn't that much of a help.

20 seconds later... "Breath in, breath out," "breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, breath in and in and in and in and in," "My lungs are bursting!" "Breath out and out and out and out!" "I'm running out of air!" "In, out, in, out,in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out..."

My maori video

I can greet people in maori-Sometimes
I can count up to ten in maori-usually
I can give numbers in maori from tweentyto a hundred-sometimes

I was pleased with my memory because I haven't said a single maori word for nearly one year and I can still remember how to say one to ten in maori.

I need to improve my fluency because I had to think whilst I was saying it for a certain period of time.
My effort during maori was fair.

Science fair 4!

Once again, me and Kainoa have decided to change our question a little bit more, we have changed it to- what colour light is most beneficial to a plant's growth when the average temperature of its environment is five degrees Celsius? Because of the weather is beginning to get colder and colder so 10'c would be a bit too high I guess.

Science fair topic

Since it is hard for us to keep the temperature controlled so we decided to change the temperature again, to 10 degrees Celsius.

Science fair topic-Botany

I guess my old topic wasn't very original and now that I'm working with Kaino, we decided that maybe we should make the topic more original, so me and Kaino came up with an agreement that our topic should be 'what colour light is most beneficial to a plant's growth, when the temperature of it's environment is around 16 degrees Celsius(+_ 3 degrees Celsius)?^_^

Science fair Topic

For my science fair topic, I am doing "How does the colour of light shining on a plant affect it's growth and why ?"

What I learnt this week......

This week, I learnt the connection between a polynomial and a monomial- a polynomial is more than one of monomials together in a linear equation with one unknown.
I learnt how to serve a table tennis ball correctly (I hope).
I learnt that it really is helpful if you write a plan before you start writing a report or any other kind of writing. I also learnt that being quick is only any good when your doing something that doesn't need quality (which I think there isn't many things that seem to only need speed).
Because I have a feeling that I could have done better in both my reading tests(maybe) if I did it with more attention to the instructions, instead of just reading it briefly then going straight on to the questions.
Therefore I am pretty happy about what I have learnt this week and I hope to improve on my quality with work.

science preassessment

For science we are learning to identify different rocks. This is my preassessment. I think mine was alright but I could have made it better.

Sams learner

What I'm good at and why:
Self manager-I am always ready to learn when I take out my books before We start writing.
Contributor-I participate in p.e.
Communicator-I use lots of different tools to communicate with others.
Explorer-When I went on Abseiling at camp, I defeated fear.

Joyce sams learner t-shirt

My sams learner t-shirt is about the five main attributes - Contributor,Explorer, Communicator,Self manager and thinker.
For Contributor,I put a world with lots of people holding hands all around it,which stands for co-operation and the four house groups(co-operation too).

For Explorer, I drew a stick figure with a magnifier, exploring nature;A stick figure down the bottom climbing a mountain.

For Communicator, I drew a cellphone and laptop which means that a good communicator uses a wide variety of tools to communicate.

For self manager, I drew a stick person with a tidy suitcase which means being always prepared and a stick figure reading a book independently.

Then last but not least,I drew a person asking a lot of questions,a box with a thinking bubble outside it(thinking outside the box) , a person thinking about thinking and a blob writing the word creative creatively(Think creatively) .^-^
