Life Education

We have had our first session with Claire from the life education van at school on Tuesday.  We learnt about healthy food and also learnt where all the food that you eat comes from.  I really enjoyed learning in the life education van.

These are my questions:

What drinks shouldn't you have?

You shouldn't drink are carbonated fizzy drinks.

How much fruit and veg do you eat a day?

You should eat two fruits and three vegs.

How much fruit do you eat?

I eat two pieces of fruit a day.

Netbook Reflection

Hi my name is Tienira and I am a year 7 in room 6 at Panmure Bridge School.  I started using a netbook last year in November, and I was an year 6 that time.

What I really like about the net books is that it really easy to type , we can research something that we don’t know about, but most importantly we can make our own presentations and share it with the world.  

What I really hate about the net book is that when you're just about to finish your work the internet disconnects you, and then it says refresh and it still wont work so that’s when you have to restart your computer.

I've improved my learning using my netbook and I would like it if we carry on using the netbooks.

Julie at my school

always calls out the answer
before the teacher says it.
She dances old
school in the playground.
She always plays centre
for netball and never gives
anyone else a chance.

Mum

Her long hair is

straight like a ruler.

Her eyes are two
dark ponds.
Her noise is short.

Her hands are long
and strong when she
reaches out to hug me.

I love my mum
three point five
times around the
solar system.

Day and Night

In the day congregations pray                                    
and mothers educate children
during the monotonous sermon.

In the evening children cavort
and mothers prepare supper
out of the horrible weather.

Earthquake

The only way for a earthquake to happen is that the surface of the earth moves.  When this happens the two plates shift against each other.

The cause of the earthquake is when the plates jump on each other making an earthquake.  The earth's crust is thin so it will just crack.  This only happens when the plates jerk.

A major earthquake can knock everything down in just one go, the other thing it can do is cause trees and buildings to fall at the same time.  The earthquake can damage buildings and also split roads in half.  The earthquake can make lakes disappear into the earth, because of the earthquake many people have lost their lives.

An instrument can measure the movement of the earth during the earthquake.  It is measured in a scale of 1-10.  This is the Richter scale.

Ancient and Modern Olympics

Have you been learning about the ancient and modern Olympics?  I have and these are the factors; countries, prizes, sports, events, participation, preparation, equipment and timeframe I have been looking at to compare and contrast the games.

In the ancient olympics women were not allowed to participate or watch their sons compete in any sports, like boxing. If they did get caught watching them they would get pushed off a cliff.  In the modern games women can watch their son compete and won’t get thrown off a cliff.

In the modern olympic games everyone can participate and they don’t have to be from the greek continent, but in the ancient games they had to be from the Greek continent and could speak Greek.

If the athletes come first second or third in the olympics games they receive flowers and gold, silver or bronze medals, but in the ancient games they would get a red ribbon tied around their arm.

In the ancient olympic they make promises to Zeus, later on they had a big feast.  At the end they have another big feast.  In the modern olympic we have a opening ceremony before the games start and a closing ceremony after the games are finished.

In the modern olympics they have many kinds of sports and they are: sprint racing, boxing and wrestling, fencing, taekwondo, hockey, football.  In the ancient olympics they only had wrestling, boxing, chariot racing and sprint racing.

The olympic games happen all over the world and they pass the flag onto the next country until the next olympic venue happens.  The ancient olympics were only held at Olympia in Greece.

The modern olympics are better than the ancient olympics because everyone can participate and take part in any sports, and women won’t get thrown off cliffs if they’re caught watching.

A Girl’s Head

In it there is a bird

and a project
for doing away with the cleaning.

And there is
an egg
which shall be first.

And there is
an entirely new tree
an entirely new nest
an entirely new baby bird.

There is a river
that flows up the waterfall.

There is a algebra test.

There are anti-particles.

And it cannot be curbed.

I believe
that only what cannot be curbed
is a head.

There is much promise
in the circumstance
that so many people have heads.

Inter school Socer

It was the inter school soccer game and we had to play the other year 7 teams we came first place at the end, and we had a fun time celebrating.

Wood work

This is a very smart looking photo at wood work.  We all had a great time, and got to take our projects back to school on the last day.

This Is Just To Say

That I have stolen

the chocolate bar
that was up in
the chocolate jar.

And which
you are probably
hiding
for dessert.

Forgive me
it was scrumptious,
so sweet
and so delicious.

Tui Report

A Tui is covered with black feathers, but the other part of its body is not covered with black and that is its chest. It has a white tuft on its chest.

You will mostly find them around New Zealand because they are New Zealand natives, but you will also find them on offshore islands.  The like to visit a place with good supplies of nectar.  They spend most of their time in the forest and scrub.

Sometimes parents move to offshore island to lay their eggs.  Tui usually lay 2-4 eggs, and it takes 2 weeks for the eggs to hatch.  In November and December they have their nesting season.

The Tuis are first to sing in the morning, and they also have a wide range of notes.  Their voice is like the sound of the bell notes, croaks, coughs and squeaks.

The mother Tui feeds her babies tiny insects and nectar in the first few days.  The older chicks start eating berries, moths, spiders, and larger insects.  Their favorite foods are berries, fruit, insects and nectar.

I asked the little boy who cannot see

I asked the little boy who cannot see,

“And what is colour like?”

“Why red,” said he

“Is like the sweet smell of strawberries,

If you hear the big waves crashing that is the colour blue,

The smell of raspberry jam is like pink,

When the sun shines on me it covers my face in yellow,

Rice is like the taste of white,

The icky sticky mud is brown,

And orange is like the smell of the juicy orange.”

MY UNCLE’S BIRTHDAY

It was a lovely day on the first day of 2012 when I visited my Aunt’s house, because it was my Uncle’s birthday.

When we arrived we walked to the park and played on the little swings, big swings, slides and in the tunnel. Later on we decided to play hide and seek, it was difficult to find the people that were professional at the game.

Meanwhile back at the house all of the adults were busy cooking.  The men were on the BBQ, and the women were cooking in the kitchen and watching T.V.  By the time we returned the table was all set up and ready for dinner. I had for dinner was chicken and sausage it was delicious, and when I smelt it the smell was the same as the taste.

After dinner we watched T.V. until nine o’clock.  Then we went home and carried on watching our movie.  It was quite sad and scary.  We finally slept at 1 o’clock in the morning.
