Nostalgic Memories and Reflections of Term 3 2010

It’s nearly the end of the term and we start to reflect back to memories that have happened this term. A reflective feeling came over us as we thought of the science fair that recently took place in the hall.

In our Year 7 individual classes we were partnered up with a buddy to construct a science experiment. We experienced how hard it was to do this particular topic. But with a positive attitude and the help from our buddies we managed to get through. On the day of the science fair a lot parents turned up to see their child’s experiment that they worked very hard on. The next day one of the pairs got one of the individuals to present their work to the school. They left their projects in the hall ready for the two judges to judge their experiment.

Measurement, Time, Fractions, Angles, and Capacity, these are some of the topics that room 3 have been learning about in Mathematics this term. In our group we learned parts of a decimal. We also learned if the number is after the decimal that means that the number is not a whole number yet. But if it is before the decimal it is already one whole number.

Every Thursday Room 3 has P.E. At the beginning of the term we had gymnastics which was usually tiring. Even though it was hard we still managed to pull through it. In the last few weeks of the term we have been practicing our Large Ball Skills. This included the games of Volley and Dodge Ball.

Writing for Room3 has been in the format of a Procedural writing and also Narratives. Procedural Writing was connected to the “Crazy Science” unit study because when we presented our experiment we had to write out our method which includes a diagram of how you set up the equipment, and describes the steps you take to carry out the experiment.

Te Reo Maori for us was really interesting because we got to learn how to ask questions in Te Reo Maori and we also learned about the Atua’s of the Maori’s that lived long ago.

In Technology the girls in Room 3 had Art with Mrs Baker and the boys had Music with Miss Dekker. The girls in Art got to draw birds and we learned the basic shapes of a bird. We also learned how to weave and dye a background. The boys were enjoying learning to play songs on our school ukuleles.
