This week we have been doing a lot. For maths, I have learnt how to convert between fractions, decimals and percentages, to show one quantity as a percentage of another, to find percentages of quantities, and to use the unitary method with percentages to find the whole amount. For writing, we did a draft argument about school uniforms. We had to hand write it because it was just a draft but a majority of the class did it faster handwriting than typing. For reading, I decided I would do the school for good and evil for my analysis. Mrs Crowe said that the plot had to be around about 200 words, but is way over and I haven't even finished yet.
In tech arts we had our assessments because we are doing dance next week. We had a guitar, keyboard, and drums test. out of three, for guitar I got a three, keyboard I got a two, and drums I got a three. We had a test in the back of our booklets on symbols and beat counts, then we had a test sort of the the selmer one at the start of the year. She played one beat and then another and it was either the same of different.
In French, we went over the weather and we had a blank spinning wheel that we had to draw little symbols so when we spin the arrow whatever symbol it lands on we have to say what it is in french. Even though the spinner doesn't work it is still a great reminder and I might be able to fix it next week. In Japanese we learnt our number from 1-10. Itchy (1), knee (2), sun (3), shee (4), go (5), rock (6), nana (7), hut (8), que (9), dew(10).
I finally finished my science fair and I went and got a black display board from warehouse stationary because I am going away next week to the south island. I chose a lime green backing paper because I thought it would look cool on the black with then the white paper.
Next week I'm going to the south Island, and I'm so excited. I can't wait to go to the snow and see and do amazing new things!

Week 6 Term 2
This week we have been busy. For maths, I have learnt how to write ratios in their simplest form, to understand proportions, to use ratio to divide quantities, and to use scale and ratio with problems. For reading, we are starting a novel analysis and we get to choose a book we have recently read to do an analysis on. For writing, we have started on persuasive writing and we have learnt about rule of three, repetition, exaggeration, description and imagery, alliteration, facts, rhetorical questions, personal pronouns, emotive language, and flattery.
In tech arts, we played the drums, and we also played london bridge is falling down and twinkle twinkle little star on the keyboard. Ms Motes was away on Friday, so we had Mrs Germann, the vice principal. I have nearly finished my science fair, I just have to write my data and results and then my conclusion. The science fair boards come next week and then I just need to print of my paragraphs, and hand it in by next Friday.
This Wednesday we had winter games. We had the choice out of volleyball, corner ball, football, rugby, netball, indoor bowls, and basketball. Since I play netball on Saturdays I thought that doing netball would be fun. I played goal shoot (GS), and goal attach (GA) because they are my favorite positions, and we won one game, but lost the two others.
In french, we have learnt how to ask and how to say the weather. Quel temps fait-il? (Whats the weather like?). Il fait beau (it's good weather), il fait mauvais (it's bad weather), il fait chaud (it's hot), il y a du soleil (it's sunny), il y a du vent (it's windy), il y a du brouillard (it's foggy), il pleut (it's raining), il neige (it's snowing), and il y a du nuggeux (it's cloudy). I can't remember them without looking at my oui book, but hopefully I will get them. In Japanese we didn't learn any new characters, but we learnt Japanese calligraphy. There was only three people out of eight because five of them were at junior tough guy and girl. Junior tough guy and girl is when people run through a muddy course with lots of other schools, but it's no just a race it is also about teamwork.

Week 5 Term 2
This week I finally got my silver badge. I was called up on stage on Monday. Their is no school this Friday because it is teacher only day and the following Monday is the queens birthday, so we get the weekend plus Friday, and Monday off. Mrs Crowe has been away on a maths course, so on Monday and Tuesday we have had Mr McCabe. I have finished my reading and I handed it in on time. For maths, I have finished all of the work on fractions and have now started on ratios. This week I have learnt how to solve problems involving fractional numbers, how to find the square root of fractional numbers, how to express quantities as ratio, and how to express ratios as fractions.
In tech arts, we went on an app that was on the iPad and we had to choose some instruments like smart guitar, smart drums, etc, to back up our blues song. Someone from our pair then had to sing while the music was playing and record it. Once we were ready we presented it to the class pair by pair, giving feedback on each others work. I had extension food this week and we made ham and cheese scones. I had to add a bit more flour because it was a bit sticky, but in the end it still tasted great.
For science fair, my question is what is the effect of phosphate on plant growth, but I am thinking of changing it to what s the effect of nitrogen on plant growth because I will get a faster result and I don't have long to grow them. I have 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% as my fertilizer amount. On 0% I have no pearls of urea, 25% has two and a half pearls of urea, 50% has five pearls of urea, 75% has seven and a half pearls of urea, and 100% has ten pearls of urea (urea is the closest fertilizer you can get to nitrogen as it is 46% nitrogen). I give them one tablespoon every one and a half days because after one day they are too wet, and after two days they are too dry. I couldn't find enough container for them in store for 15 plants so I had the idea to put the in yogurt containers because it saves a lot of money and are all the same size. I put some small holes in the bottom, and they sit on the conservatory windowsill because they cats cant knock them over and they get a reasonable amount of sun.
