DARE Session 3.

WALA Drugs & how they can affect your life. 

This session was about  drugs and media. What the main message was today was don't trust everything you see online or on T.v because not everything is true. Some of the advertisements are half false or maybe even full false. Something I enjoyed about this session is that was that it helped me realise not everyone and everything is real so we have to keep our eye's open more.

DARE Session 2

WALA Drugs & how they may affect our lives.

The other day, we had another DARE program and it was about the different sorts of drugs. We put them into groups of legal & illegal, restricted & not restricted. Something I learned from this session was that you should never take or think about doing illegal drugs cause it honestly ruins your life mentally, physically and also financially. I also enjoyed this session because I learned a lot of new things about drugs and also law.

DARE Sessions - Part 4-5.

WALA Drugs & how to keep ourselves safe around them.

On Wednesday was our last DARE session for the year and we learnt about different criminals & homicides that have happened in the past. Something I enjoyed about the sessions were that I took in a lot about consequences, penalties and drugs. Something I can work on next time is expanding on ideas.

WAL How to keep ourselves safe around drugs and what drugs can do to us. 

For the past two weeks, the Year 7&8 syndicate have been doing a programme called DARE. It's all about drugs and how they may affect your life & health. Here's just a poster of what may happen or how drugs may leave an affect on you and your life if you let drugs into your life and system. Something I enjoyed about the programme was that it helped me realise that I need to keep myself safe outside of the classroom.

T3W6, Careers - Qualities.

WALA Careers & Qualities.

Today in Careers we talked & learned about our Qualities. The two qualities I chose to describe myself with were Confident & Open-minded. Reason for that is because as a young person I've grown up around drama which helped me to be an open person. Something I enjoyed about this task is that it helped me realise the things I'm actually good at and what I may need to work on. Something I can do next time is add images that can relate to my qualities.

Whaktauki T3W6

WALT make personal connections with a given whakatauki.

Today's whakatauki is about chiefs and the knowledge shared from one to another.

Something I enjoy about this whakatauki is that the meaning behind it all is so deep and has a lot of meaning in it. Something I may need to work on net time is expanding on ideas. Bit for now please leave a comment on my blog,

Many thanks!

DARE Session 1 Reflection.

WALT reflect on previous sessions.

Today we were introduced to a new programme called DARE. It's about drug abuse and how it can affect our health. Something I learned today was a list of different drugs used in NZ and also how the different drugs can affect you physically & mentally. Next time I'd love to learn more deeper into the abuse of drugs.

Whakatauki o te wiki - T3W5

WALT make personal connections to a given whakatauki.

This weeks whakatauki was based on a "grub & a tree". In the metaphor, the grub was us and the tree was life. The deeper meaning between the lines was getting through rough obstacles and achieving new things throughout life. Something I enjoyed about this whakatauki was that the meaning behind it was very powerful and had a lot of context. Something I may need to work on next time is expanding on different ideas for each slide.

QuickQure Runout!

IALT: use graphs to describe the relationship and devise and use problem solving strategies.

Today in our whole class maths session the word problem was about a father & a daughter who both went to the Pharmacy and bought themselves different bottles of Cough Medicine. The father's bottle had 300ml and the daughter's had 90ml. What we had to try and find out was who would run out first. At the end we realised they both finish the medicine on the same day. Something I enjoyed about this task was that I was able to solve & answer the problem within a suitable time and I also accomplished a personal goal of mine which was being able to solve a algebra problems without using tables. Something I found a bit difficult AT FIRST was being able to explain my answers to my peers but after I kept repeating myself it became easier for me to stand up and share my thinking with the class.

I enjoyed this whakatauki because I knew how t relate and complete the tasks easily as it was actually a school whakatauki.

Something I can do next time is extend the amount my paragraphs on each slide.

Tia & Tom Topsy Turvy Money!

WAL: How To Put Level 4 Algebra Information Into A LINE Graph.

Today we solved an algebra problem to calculate how much money would be spent and earned by 2 twins. Tom started with $20 and spent $2 per day. Tia started with $0 and earner $2.50 per day. I used multiplication & subtraction to help me calculate the day Tia would overlap Tom with Money. I made links with statistic and chose a line graph to show our thinking. You can see clearly, that by Friday, Tia had more money than Tom. For me, this task was easy to complete because I had several strategies to use. Something I found hard was sharing & explaining my answers to other peers around me.

Heart Foundation Reflection

WALT: reflect on previous sessions.

Today, a nutritionist from The Heart Foundation came in to teach us and inform us on the four different food groups. Something I enjoyed about this session was that it gave us a lot of information and we unlocked much new and interesting knowledge about food and our immune systems. Something I found a bit hard was putting all the bottles into the correct order when we were given a task.
