Week 9 Term 2

This week I have learnt a lot of things such as... how to use commas and FANBOYS properly. At the start of the year I thought that you only put a comma if you wanted to join two sentences together, but it turns out that you only put a comma in your work if you are adding extra information than you would put a comma before and after the extra information. You would also use a comma if you are listing things, or before you use a FANBOY. In writing we have been doing a novel analysis I have just finished mine, and have now moved onto writing my student conference that is coming up. In maths I can now find the area of composite shapes which is really very easy now that I know how to do it. How to find the area of a composite shapes e.g. to work out how to find the area of a composite shape you first find the area of the shape if it was whole shape. Next turn the smaller thing in a shape of some kind. Then find the area of the smaller shape. Now take the area of the two shapes away from each other, and you will have your answer. I have also learnt how to convert metric measurement, and to find the volume of some 3D shapes. This week our school has been preforming a production I haven't seen it, but I'm going to watch it tomorrow!! I am really excited because it sounds really cool, and lots of my friends are in it. Overall this week has been a very busy week, and I have learnt a lot of new things.      

Week 7 Term 2

This week is going to be very busy as we had a maths test a few days ago, and we had our ICAS science test yesterday. Every Wednesday we have jump jam, but this Wednesday when we were doing jump jam our teacher filmed us, and put the video on YouTube it was so embarrassing!! This weekend I have my second netball rep torment I am really nervous, and excited. It was going to be in Auckland, but they changed it to some other place. Every year our school has a production this year the production is called The Battle of the Bands. I don't really know what its about, but I'm guessing something to do with bands battling. A lot of people are involved in the production, and next week everybody in the production gets a week off school to practice!! I really want to watch the production because the way that they set up the hall looks awesome. Coming up in week 10 is Belmont and I am in the traveling Belmont team. That means that my whole team has to travel to Belmont and verse other teams up there. When we go up to Belmont each person in the team has to be billeted by a random family. Normally it is one person to a house, but luckily I am allowed to stay with someone else!
