Term 3 Reflections

This term has been great because there has been speeches and film festival but the best of all was the bike track finished. Why the bike track was the best because you could zoom around the bike track dodging little kids and getting air on jumps and it gave me something to do at playtimes but with it came kids falling off and hurting themselves.




Bowls was awesome because it meant no school work and it was nice to meet Vern and Heather who help run bowls. Bowls was fun because it's a good game to play with friends, and we learned good skills and how to play bowls and they are picking 4 people to play in a tournament.





I have made good progress in my reading I have gone up two levels and I have been reading at home. In my maths, I have gone up 1 level in my basic facts test and now I am on level 7 I think by the next test I could complete this level. Writing we have done a lot of writing and I have been writing speeches and free writing at home.





Jump jam we have tried this new thing is on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I like Jump jam because it’s a good thing to start the day and its fun and it’s to get you moving and it’s better than doing the 4js run. It is a run to 4js and back it's 2.5 k and its so boring. My favourite jump jam has been boom shak laka.




We had a speech comp and you had to write a speech and present and you would go to the school speech finals. 14 people made it and I was one of them. It was really fun because you learned how to write a speech and good speaking skills. I did very well and my speech was on technology the good and bad.





We did something new. It was the film festival me Mark Brayden and Reid, we worked really well and our film is about a bank robbery. We used my GoPro but we had to voice over it because you could not hear us. We use wevideo to make our video I highly recommend it.here is our video.





This term I have liked the best because there has been new stuff I have tried Iike asb netball 1-day tournament and I liked it. I hope we do some history hope next term is better than this term.

learning to type isn't more important that handwiriting.

People think typing is more important than handwriting. But in my opinion, handwriting is more important than typing for these reasons stated.




Handwriting is more important than typing because if you get a job for doing the paperwork your handwriting will be unreadable and it makes your company look dreadful like and a and people won’t want to bye of you. If you learn to type and you need to write a letter it would look like a little kid writing and it would have mistakes.





Typing is only used for computers were handwriting can help with art writing on paper, it is faster than getting your computer out and having to charge it. You have to worry about saving it and when you right on paper it’s smoother and quicker to write and you don’t have to save it.Writing on paper is a good exercise for your wrists and your brain.





When you write on paper the words that you spell wrong it does not go red and when you learn a new word you process when you write on paper. When you write a word on your computer and you get it wrong it goes red like blood, when you correct a word you don’t process it and you keep getting it wrong.





In my opinion, I reckon learning to type isn't more important to learn to handwrite. Changed your opinion towards learning to type isn't more important than handwriting. Do you like writing on paper and why?

All students should not have tablet or a laptop

All students should not have a tablet or a laptop at school




Most people’s opinion is that all students should have a tablet at school. In my opinion, I think tablets and laptops should be not compulsory at school, here are some reasons that will change your opinion.




Students don't need tablets and laptops at school because most students at home spend a lot of hours on devices at home, and it good to socialize at school and good to make friends. When you spend a lot of time on devices you can get lazy and it is enjoyable to go out on your bike or do something outside.




Most kids have bad handwriting at school and it can teach bad habits and if you write in your book you can help you write words that you have trouble writing and its good skill to know how to use a dictionary. When you start writing on your computer you have to worry about how much charge, was when you can just get your book out and start writing.




When you are on your devices you can easily get off task and it is hard to control what you do online and you can search inappropriate stuff online and you can send bad emails to people. People can not afford 3 to 4 kids to get a laptop or a tablet for school.




In my opinion, I think that laptop and tablets should not compulsory at school hopefully I have changed your opinion towards laptops at school. Do you have a computer or a tablet and why?

Were am I

In the summer the camping ground is cramped, The stores are filled to the brim and the boat ramp is overflowing there are no parks for miles. I smell the freshly cut grass and the whiff of fish and chips and sunscreen. I hear sausages sunbathing on a bbq and boats crashing through the waves and neighbors in their spa joking and having a good time. But when it comes to winter its a ghost town - no one on the road. It's a horrible place to be in the winter.

Wellington camp

At Wellington, the best things were the high ropes, rock, swimming, and capital E .the event that challenge me the most was rock climbing and high ropes because I am scared of heights. It made me more confident about dealing with heights.





The event that I enjoyed was h2o extreme. A swimming pool it had 3 slides and a wave pool why I enjoyed it the most because the slides they were a blast and there was a circle that spun water around in circles.





The least favorite thing about camp was the food because it was more for adults





Overall The best camp ever
