Byron H @ Greymouth High School

Every Tuesday we go to our Maori  and this time we were doing conversations. Here is mine.

This week we have been working on lots of work. From Antarctica to finding a new thing that we needed to work on in maths. It was a fun week because mos of the girls were out of the class for self defense classes so the class has been quite and calm. In maths I was working on averages. It was easy to learn because the videos made it so simple to do. Here is my DLO on how I figure it out, For the Antarctica work we had to do these activities and here are mine. It was fun doing these activities because Antarctica has been an interest of mine for a long time.  

The link for long division leads to this.

This week it has been quite busy with finishing off lots of work like maths and some Titanic work. We started a new piece of maths. It was just like last weeks but we had to choose something else to focus on. I was doing long division. Here is my DLO on how to do it. We were on assembly this week and I was chosen to tell them a piece of my titanic work. This is mine. I read out a time line from when they had sea trials to when it sank to the bottom of the ocean. 2nd April 1912 The Titanic started its sea trials to see if it was ready to go over the seas and go far distances 3rd April 1912 The Titanic arrived in Southampton after a long ride to get there 10th April 1912 9:30 - 11:30 am The passengers started arriving in Southampton to board the Titanic and find their rooms 10th April 1912 Noon The Titanic set off on its maiden voyage but no one new what was going to happen next 10th April 1912 11:40pm The Titanic started to scrape on the iceborg and sta...

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.

This week Madeline came in and we were doing stop motion animation. It took me a long time to make it and when I was finished with it it was night time. Here is mine. For it to work you have to click on it and then hold down the down button. This week has been quiet. We have been working on things that connect with the Titanic tragedy.

This week we have done a lot. We started off with testing and then we did our Athletics. In the testing we where able to do it on our Chromebooks. We wrote our Asttle writing test, reading and maths PAT tests. I think I done quite well in all my tests because this time I took my time doing them. On Wednesday we had our Athletics that took the whole day. From 2 till 6pm. It was fun because we had 30 minutes at each activity. I started at Long jump and finished at High Jump. On High jump I had the most fun because when I jumped to close to on of the side poles and knocked over the side pole and it landed on my leg and now I have a huge bruise and a lump on my foot.

In writing today we have been reading and learning about what happens when you sleep. Miss Power shared 3 links to different bits of information for us to read  and take notes from for our own writing. We discussed some key ideas and started writing down our ideas. I have only just started with my first key idea. Here it is. The Advantages of sleep. When it becomes night time everyone needs to get a good night's sleep. Because if you do sleep you won't get grumpy. If you don't sleep for a few days you will start to forget things that you need to know. After not sleeping for more than 5 day you start to hallucinate. that is why everyone needs to get a goodnight sleep.

I created this picture because Hanukkah celebrates the celebration of light. I created it by Skitch. The fight sounded awesome but scary. Don't ask me why.

On Tuesday the 28th of October room 11 went to the Real Art Road Show to see what type of art there was and I think that all the art was great. Some art was weird to look and and some were just funny. Everybody as a different peace of art that they liked but I have 2. There was one that was carved out of wood and a duck with a persons body was holding a gun at a person that I think was Gorge Washington and in my mind I was thinking that the duck-man was saying to Gorge Washington,                                                                                                           "NEVER SHOOT MY FAMILY AGAIN ELSE I WILL SHOT YOU" And the other one that I liked was 5 peaces of green stone and they went from smal...
