Changes and challenges

Hello bloggers today i am going to be writing about a special guest visit, today we had a guy called Isaac come to our school he is the first new Zealander to ever row across the Atlantic ocean. I found it awesome that if you put your mind to something you can succeed. He is an inspiration as he had dreams and those dreams actually came true. When he gave us some advice i took that advice and thought how i could change my mindset attitude towards succeeding in life. I was amazed by how if you put time into something you want to do you can succeed it. Him coming and talking to us makes me want to focus on the future and what i want to do rather then waiting till then.

The new kahui

The new kahui

 Hello bloggers i am going to be writing about moving into the new kahui  because i found it an experience .On Monday 23 of September TS and SH moved into the new kahui together. So far TS and SH have been working together as one class.I found it interesting to work with another class because it would be better if we had class games or if we had to do a team task we could have smaller teams with more people in other teams.

When I walked into the new building I saw...

When I walked into the new kahui I saw a huge building i was really excited that we were moving into the kahui with another class, i was wondering how we would work in a bigger space and with more people. It felt different walking in because it was a lot bigger and more spacious, the buildings reminded me of the learning commons. I found it awesome that the tvs were lighting up because of the led lights behind it, i also found it awesome that all three buildings were named after native birds, the building TS and SH are in now is called tieke, tieke is a native bird to new zeland.

When I walked into our new building I thought...

I thought there was more space for you to independently work on your own or with others.It felt really odd and weird because it was so big but it felt awesome because it was easier to get to our other classes because they weren't far it also felt awesome because we could change it around if it did not suit us we could also remove things and make space for new objects such as tables, chairs, comfortable seating and totraes. It was really cool to find out that we were moving in with another class.

When I walked into our new buildings I felt...

I felt amazed by the way the buildings were placed out and set up. I felt that when they named the buildings after the native birds to new zeland that it felt more welcoming that it was named after native animals.I felt happy that we got a bigger learning space. I felt like i wanted to say a huge thank you to all the people that spent hours and hours on this building and making it as safe as possible so that we could have a classroom to learn in.

Those bloggers that have read this moving in to these buildings has been an experience it has been amazing moving into these because it is new and trying new things is good for you .During the time they were making the kahui it took them 2 years to build all three buildings Mohua, Riroriro and Tieke. The school had to get 27 million to pay for all three buildings so that the the school had a better learning space. This learning space is amazing as it gives us a bigger more shift able space to work in, either independently or individual. When we were in the other building we learnt how to talk at mummer with the doors open so when we moved in to the new kahui we could work with others and by our self without disrupting the class. I could not believe what i saw when i walked in because Builders spent 2 years (17520 hours) people took that much time out of there everyday life to give all of the year 7 and 8 a better learning space to use in our everyday life, it makes me want to come to school more often because it feels more comfortable. They also made a small grass area with fake grass outside the kahui. It has a small hill so people to go sit and talk to others. It has plants around it for native animals or just us humans to walk around. I found it so cool haw it had a scenic area outside so we could look at the flowers grow and see all the birds land on them, I found this the best feature. Thank you for reading this and thank you to the people who built this buildings for us.

Today in period 3-4 we watched a document about the environment called 2040, it was about how our green house gasses are causing us as humans pain.I think that this documentary is help full because it can help humans change into a better and more comfortable place for people to live. In the future i hope it is better and can change, I hope that the earth changes because at the moment earth isn't at its full standers i find if people watch this video it gives people a better understand of why we need to change the way we recycle things and how we use fossil fuels. People need to know that there actions can affect the way it affects the world and others. Our action now could affect the future generation. I learned that i need to reduce using plastic and to use the three Rs. I was surprised that this isn't helping people find out that the way they are living now isn't helping us it is making things worse if people see this they would know to change there actions immediately then keep doing what they are doing this video should be shared around the world so people will change if they know what to change.

Today in math we had to make a DLO and write number questions for our partner to solve. Here is mine

Changes and challenges

Today in drama Mt and Ts played some games. We first we did box breathing, then we did 16 steps to 8 steps to 4 steps then finished with 2 steps. We played copy circle then we played pukkana then we played blind murder. It was fun to learn new games i did not know. It was also interesting learning how to follow the directions. I enjoyed mixing and matching with other people i did not know rather then hanging around with other people or being distracted by others that i know i enjoyed actually getting my work done for once.It was very fun learning breathing skills that i could teach others.

Through out last week we made puppets i made peppa pig and i found it challenging working on my script but i got it done.

tec

Throughout this term we have been doing lazer work.We have mostly been making pens and signs with our names on them, that light up.I found it interesting and somewhat hard.when were making our designs it was hard finding out what designs to put on it,when we were doing this it took me about 2 weeks to find out how it works.

C.I.P

Today in C.I.P we were working on weeding the planet.We also got most of the outside classroom clean.The outside classroom is looking better then it did before i also did singing. In singing we practiced singing for the big concert. Through out singing it was interesting learning new songs and discovering what my voice can do.



In C.I.P when we were reading we had found some interesting plants in the garden. We had to weed other parts of the garden as well. In period one we listened to a group of students sing whakarongo.
It was interesting hearing them sing they were singing because it is moari language week. I also had a good time singing other moari songs.
