Week 7 Term 2

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!
