Week 5 reflection

By Anonymous -
This week we have been working on our Year 8 Leavers project. This is where we make something for Grey Main School before when we leave to go to high school. Some of my friends and I are trying to make some picnic tables so we don't have to sit on the wet grass.

We just went to this show where they were doing some Maori Hakas and games that they used to play when they didn't have any computers or TV's.  One of them was to do with clapping and the other one was like catching your opponent out with the same move. It went on for about a hour but it was really cool.

In maths I was working on 3 digit multiplication. It was easy for me to do because I learnt how to do 2 digit multiplication and then all I needed to do was just one more step. Here is my version on how to do it.


This week I finished my titanic stuff and it looks great. Here it is.

    Hi Byron

    Great to see a variety of tasks shared in your reflection Byron. It would be great if your group could make a picnic table or two, would be a great space for people to hang out at. I'm impressed with your multiplication strategy that you have used. Keep up the great work.

My mom went to the phone and rang the doctors and they said to go to the hospital. So she rang the hospital and they came over to our house. They finger pricked me and tried to talk to me but I still didn't respond to them. They took me to the ambulance and I got a ride in it. I felt really terrified and scared like mad when I hopped into the ambulance and my hart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to blow up. It was not long until we got to the hospital. They put me on a wheelchair and took me to a bed and the doctors gave me a headache tablet and I went to sleep for 4 hours and then I woke up and they gave me some food to eat. I had mash potatoes with gravy and peas with meat. For pudding I had ice cream. The nurse came and made me walk to see if I would of went wobbly and if I ...
