Term 1 Week 7 - Reflections

Hi guys! I had a really exciting week this week! Sort of. OK, so we had production callbacks, and I got a part! I'm the evil mayor, Brunella. It was originally Bruno, because it was a guy, but now is a girl, because I'm playing it, which is why the name's so weird. I get to sing a whole song by myself, and I have heaps of lines! Anyway, for choir I've got a solo too, in the song 'Lean on Me', which we're going to be doing next term. I've got lots of things going on this year. 3 days until Wellington Camp! I'm so excited! My friends are really getting annoyed with me. It's going to be amazing, and I'm going to have so much fun! Anyway, I think that's all for now. Bye!

Term 1 Week 6 - Reflections

This week, I have learnt that I'm a good actor! I got into callbacks for production speaking parts. We have to learn the words to a song, and then we have to sing it to them. And the song is.....................................
DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART!!!
It has a very long title, doesn't it? I finished my jumper yesterday, and I wore it today, because it's mufti day! Yay! I love mufti day. Don't you?
Wellington Camp is in 1 week and 4 days! It's way too long to radiator! Sometimes, I just wish I had a time machine. Oh well, I'll just have to be really patient, though that isn't my strong point. Anyway, goodbye!

Portrait Poems

#1

I am Dani                                                              

Daughter of Gillian and Jeremy

Who needs sleep, friends, books

Who loves her friends, reading, kittens, her family

Who sees words, beauty in everything she sees

Who hates bullies, silence, pain

Who fears heights, being an outcast, being alone

Who dreams of rainbows, kittens, unicorns

Who has founds poems of depression

Resident of Earth, the third planet from the sun

Archer

#2

I am an insane nerd

I wonder if I will be successful

I hear music swirling round in my brain

I see bowties and a big blue box

I want to publish a book

I am an insane nerd

I pretend to be The Doctor

I feel free, carefree

I touch the stars, I just wish that I could keep them

I worry that I’m not good enough

I cry over deaths of characters in books and movies

I am an insane nerd

I understand that not all people are nice

I say that everyone is equal, no matter what race, gender, or sexuality.

I dream of nothing

I try to make friends, and do well at school

I hope to be happy

I am an insane nerd

#3

Dani.

Annoying, intelligent, outgoing, lively,

Sister of Megan,

Lover of chocolate, music and reading,

Who feels happy when reading, in control when writing, and significant when singing,

Who needs friends, coffee, and books,

Who gives someone to talk to, humor, and friendship,

Who fears heights, death and being alone,

#4

Dani-

Annoying, lively, chatty, intelligent,

Second born daughter of Gillian and Jeremy,

Likes reading, writing and Evanescence.

Feels lively most of the time, except in the mornings,

Afraid of heights and not doing well,

Would like to see a book of hers get published-

Archer

Term 1 Week 5 - Reflections

This week, we did a lot of different tests. We did everything from PATs to basic facts tests, so we didn't really do much learning. We had Tech Arts, and we got sorted into different groups for the Wellington Trip, which is in 2 weeks & 4 days! We got sorted into everyday groups, our cabins, and what we're doing for ETV. I'm going to be director! I've been having trouble reading things on the white board, so I had an eye test, and I learnt that I'm getting glasses! I can't wait! Anyway, that's all from me. Bye, see you next week! 

Term 1 Week 4 - Reflections

Hi guys! This is what I learnt this week:
This week, I have learned that I'm not completely hopeless at sewing! Who would have thought? I also learnt about how awesome or trip to Wellington is going to be. We got the itinerary, and it sounds amazing! We're going to Wellington zoo, and we're going to the Capital E Digital place, and we're going snorkeling... I can't wait!
Anyway, see you all soon, goodbye for now! 

Term 1 Week 3 - Reflections

Hi guys! This is just another learning reflection from me.

This week, I reminded myself about expanding and simplifying numbers. Really easy really, but I forgot! So how you do it is this:
You put in the brackets the first number, and multiply it by the place value, then the brackets stop, and you put an addition sign, then the next in brackets, and so on, eg:
13578=
(1×1000) + (3×1000) + (5×100) + (7×10) + (8×1);
Expanding with powers is the same, but with powers, eg:
20870=
(2×100^4) + (8×10^2) + (7×10^1)

Anyway, goodbye, see you soon!

Term 1 Week 2 - Reflections

Hi guys! Apparently, this year, we have to do reflections of what we learned during the week, even though we didn't have to do them last year, which is really confusing, but oh well.

This week, I learned what face value is. It's really simple, but I'd never actually learnt it, and what it is is this:
So you know place value is what column the number is in, hundreds, thousands etc, and total value is how much each number is worth, 300, 4000 etc. Face value is basically just the number, eg:
The face value of the 7 in 1790 is just 7.
Anyway, bye!
