Kiwi Can Reflection

Kiwi can is over for Term 3. We have had a lot of topics this term, such as Goal setting, Problem Solving and Perseverance. It has taught me a lot of of what life can be. I've learned a lot of new words and all sorts of things. So let's talk about every topic individually.

Problem Solving: We learnt how to solve a problem as a team and as a unit. I'm pretty sure it has helped us all. From not knowing how to solve a problem from snapping to solve the situation.

Goal Setting: Goal setting is a big factor in lives. I've learnt that making a goal won't be easy but if you try and never give up you won't fail and you will achieve with no doubt.

Perseverance: Perseverance we have learned to never give up, keep on trying. It's similar to Resilience.

This term Kiwi Can gave us awesome activities to solve as a team and as a unit. I think working as a unit has made Room 7 students become more closer.

That was my reflection on how my Term 3 at Kiwi Can went.

Cheers

Science Intesive

Science Intensive

Today half of Room 7 was in Room 10 today with Mrs Moopanar. We tried a lot of experiments. Miss was doing Magnet for her science.The first experiment was Follow the Force it was an okay experiment. The next experiment was The Decisive magnet. It was a short experiment but fun. After that we tried another experiment called The invisible dance partner. We placed the magnet down and let the U shape magnet flow side to side. Our last activity was The jitters. We all placed all of the bar magnets and let the U shape flow all around the triangle. After that we drew a plane, car and a fish.

We are going to do more but this is what we have done so far.

Cheers

Private Peaceful

Here are some questions about the book we had read. We have more but just giving you a hint. The Book we are reading is Private Peaceful. It's a very interesting book.

  1. How does the narrator help the reader to feel warmth and sympathy for Big Joe in this chapter?

2.   After the butterflies the chapter begins ‘Big Joe ate…’ what do you notice about the tense of this chapter? Is it different from the previous chapter?

     3.   How does Tommo describe his mother?

Persuasive Writing, Auckland Transport

Dear Auckland Transport,

Have you seen what has happened over the last few months? Have you even tried to prevent the problem of people passing away in your hands? Surely you must realise. But It is clear that you haven't. I really feel that we have to stop! And wake up Auckland Transport. People gone. I’m not saying it’s truly your fault but we have to do something to solve the issue. I’m absolutely certain those who have passed, families are crushed at the moment. I’m sure you think it’s the right thing to add in these fancy new trains but you have to reconsider thinking about the problems it will cause.

I agree with trying to help Auckland, and trying to keep up with modern time. I respect your decision. Without doubt it was the right decision. It’s just the problems that has occurred after the change. In my opinion you have to add more sound to the trains so the people crossing will know if a train is coming.

I also think the securities watching should pay more attention to what’s happening around them, such as people crossing and children entering by themselves.

In conclusion, I’m sure that you will understand what I have written and use the points that I have made to  help better the lives of people who may have had someone almost die from trains.

Yours Sincerely

Science Intensive

Yesterday we had Room 7 science intensive. For Science we were split into 2 groups. I was in Miss Stone's group. I had learned a lot. First of all we talked about Science itself. Miss Stone asked questions and we answered. After that we were split into groups and had to follow the instructions given from Miss Stone. Our first experiment was Inserting flour then water change the chemical. It was very messy and dirty but we cleaned it all. We had more experiments and we played a game called Kahoot. I also learned 3 states of Science, Solid, Liquid and Gas.
