Passion Projects

Touch Tournament 

My passion project is about Community Sports and my in group are Me, Jaz, Brianna, Mikayla and Tanaya. we are doing a touch tournament with some primary schools.

We have done the plan, script, spreadsheet and a poster.

That helps us because we are ready to get started when we have our tournament because then we will know what we are doing.

During these two periods we finished our script for our advertisement, we also finished our plan that will help us to get students to who are interested in playing touch and to help them sign up.
We expect to have our advertisement video finished and ready to show people by period 5 on Thursday.

This photo of us is when we had to present what we had done in three periods of passion projects.

Attitude

Today two members from attitude named Emma & Rory. They came into talk to our year 7 and 8 students about different topics like technology, friendships, relationships, health, family issues, drugs and a lot more. When they first started the session they introduced themselves and told us what they are all about.

Emma told a story about the time she got cat fished in high school, so she had a huge crush on this guy called josh. She wanted his number so her friend got "his number" for her. After school she got the courage to message "him." Soon after a couple weeks of messaging she got more courage to actually tell "josh" that she likes him. He responds later with 3 laughing crying emojis and after that he sent another two emojis that were a cat and a fish.
The lesson I learnt with this is don't trust everyone you talk to behind the screen even if you think that you know them.

 

Emma started talking to us about tackling technology, that's basically about.
Cyber safety
Cyber Bullying
Do's & Dont's
Deleting

And a lot more about the internet and technology.

Finding Fractions - Maths

This week I have been focusing on finding a fraction out of a whole number for example 1/4 of 81. It may look hard but in reality it is extremely easy all you need to know are your time tables.

Lets figure out 1/3 of 15 you might know this already but for people who don't know this is how you work it out.
First you need to get the denominator and multiply it by the whole number ( 3 x ? = 15 )
Then you need to look at the 3x tables and find what equals 15, 3 threes equal 15. So your answer for 1/3 of 15 is 3! Easy right now go and have a try yourself.

Yurtle The Turtle

Before we got Yurtle we had two frogs called Yoda and Belle, we decided that the frogs got boring and Mrs Mitchell had a turtle. We had to persuade her into giving us the turtle for the frogs this is my letter to Mrs Mitchell.

Dear Mrs Mitchell

I am here to tell you the benefits of having frogs instead of turtles. I have a lot of reasons but I will only inform you of a couple. The first reason is they help you with life cycle of frogs and help kids learn more about them to help make their brain grow, kids love bugs! You might not think that bugs are cool but kids sure do and it could help their guys attitude in class, they are cute, they are very easy to look after they don’t need a lot of attention all you need to do pretty much is feed them and lastly frogs are in a lot of little kids story books so the kids will love them!

Yours Sincerely,

Measuring and Drawing Angles - Geometry

This week I learnt how to measure angles with protractor. At the start it was difficult but once you get the hand of it you go along with the flow. I will tell you how to measure a angle.

This angle = 90°

Right Angle

This angle measures less than 90°

Acute Angles

Measures more than 90°

Obtuse Angle

Exact 180°

Straight Angle

Now lets measure a angles;

Thank you for visiting my blog, hopefully this helped your. Please comment your feedback on my work :)

Volume - Maths W7 T2

Today I will be explaining how to measure 1D shapes and 2D shapes. Also the unit because units are very important when you are measuring shapes.

This is a very short DLO but I didn't have that much time to film if and get it uploaded, I'm sorry for that next week will be better. Hope you learnt something like how to measure a 3D shape and what 

Dream House DLO - Maths

This week in maths Whaea gave us a fun little task to do. Create our own dreamhouse, we had to create our dream house and measure each square as 1 metre. This is my finished dream house.

We had to measure the squares as 1 metre. In the photo above we had to write the measurement as m2, but with the 2 above the m.

It was really fun creating this dream house and it was really interesting learning about how to measure the perimeter. Thank you for visiting my blog. 

Astronomy Inquiry

What are the conditions on earth that make it suitable for humans to live on, and where else could we live? This was my inquiry question I answered this question with Lyan and Mikayla. Hope you enjoy my journey of answering this question and finding out more about astronomy.

This was our experiment/demonstration we made a rocket ship that could travel people to the moon that we found.

Thank you for visiting my blog I hoped you enjoyed

Pascal's Triangle - Chloe

This week for maths one of our tasks were the amazing pascal's triangle. I will tell you some of the patterns I found, hope you enjoy.

Down both sides the numbers are just one.

Going through/along the middle you can see one number will go up 1 every time.

Each line is multiplying by 2.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

WE ARE 7Mt - Poem

WE ARE 7Mt

We are a very sophisticated and outstanding class.

We try to be the best we can be in our learning.

We hear the sound of heavy breathing while we are doing work.

We see the kids fingers moving around their desktop while they focus on their work.

We say we will always follow our class treaty rules.

We are a very sophisticated and outstanding class.

We aim high in all of our learning.

We feel joy when our tasks are complete.

We need positiveness when we are working on a class project together.

We worry when Mr Mitchell has a very “serious” face when he glares at us.

We value our stationary and everything we own in class.

We are a very sophisticated and outstanding class.

We understand that we can’t all be perfect every time we do tasks.

We want to be the best class Mr Mitchell has ever taught.

We expect the best from one another in class.

We wonder if we will earn back the 7Mt Cup.

We hope that we can make Mr Mitchell happy and proud of his class.

We are a very sophisticated and outstanding class.

A Strange Job Interview - Writing: W6 T1

A strange job interview…

It all started with a random email I got when I was browsing through my unread emails. “Come along to score yourself an awesome job at the marine life park?” I, uh, kind of lost my recent job. It’s a very long, strange, annoying and out of this world crazy story! Anyways, I applied and I got a response straight away. I was very frightened. “Are they this desperate?” I thought to myself in shock.

The next day…

I wanted to prepare myself, I spent 2 hours looking through my small scale and filthy wardrobe. I never entered my closet because when I first moved into this compact sized apartment I seen a rat scurry out of there. I filled with regret and despair, I surprisingly found a very adult like dress. It was an auburn maroon-ish colour, I actually liked it and I had to deal with it since it was the only dress I owned.

The job interview…

Ughh today I felt terrible. I stayed up late worrying about what I was going to say what happened at my last job. My stomach swarmed with butterflies as I was driving. “You’ve got this.” I whispered to myself. As I paced into the entrance all I could smell was fish! It was disgusting I blocked my nose and walked through to the “conference” room. As I walked in…

The job interview that changed my perspective on life…

As I walked in there were octopus’s hanging from the ceiling. I was in shock. “Ahhh Miss Granger ( yes i quoted Harry Potter ) welcome! I- I didn’t say a word, i just awkwardly smiled… “take a seat.” I sat down next minute I knew I WAS SITTING ON JELLYFISH! I screamed as loud as I could until, he stopped me. “Sorry my jellyfish’s escaped.” I calmed myself. He placed the jellyfish in his hand and shoved it back into “fish” tank. “YOU GOT THE JOB!” I started laughing, “nice joke now should we get into the interview?” I said in confusion. “Well you already got the job?” he said quietly I still had no clue what he was on about. “Let’s just say the sharks approved you…” I turned around and there was a hammerhead shark laying down on the ground just beneath my feet… let’s just say I ended up starting the next day.
