Sonny Self Management a Reflection.

In our class we have levels for managing ourselves properly. One is that we have to stay within arms reach of the teacher, two is we have to stay in the same room as the teacher, 3 we can be where ever we want and the teacher will trust us to be on the right thing. I am a level one, but I am working hard to get to level 3. To earn my trust.  And  I have been working hard to get a level 3 high standard.

I have been trying to manage my time and behaviour. I have notice that when I am around people I don't finish my work. So when I work I need to be by myself and i’ll do better work. Also I will manage my self better and do more work to high standard. I don't really need help its just me talking to my mates make me stop doing my work. So next time I won't work by my mates because it will slow me down, in school and all other subjects.

I have been taking charge of my netbook in and outside of school. I always make sure that it has been charged before I go to school or the library. I clean it a lot , like heaps. I also never have drinks around it for cortionnal reasons, like if it had spelt it all over my netbook “which I have before, it was not good”. At  the end of the day I put it in my netbook in its bag to take home. Then when I get home I put it in a safe place, on top of my draws on charge.

This has bring me to my conclusion. My goals for the rest of the term is to do all my tasks set to high standards no matter if its reading, writing, maths or inquire.  Because I want to get in a smart class in Wellington next year. So that is my main goal to finish all my task. And I will try to do all the task and would not give up.

Sonny's tapa cloth.

We are learning all about cultural designs, and one of the art our teacher chose was a tapa cloth. It is too complicated to make with all of the year 8s-7s block, so we made it on a brown paper bags. All the stuff you need to make a tapa paper bag, crayons, yellow, brown,black. And all different shades. You must have dye colour of brown, now this is a must have it won't look effective unless you have brown dye. It will be better if you got a design all planned out before u start it will help you. And this was my finished product.

Sonny's year 8s camp writing !!

We just recently had year 8 camp, on Tuesday the 28th October. We had a long, but fun trip, to the exciting Marsden Bay Camp. It was a two to three hour trip, but I slept most of the way there and back. Along the way we had a stop, to go for a bushwalk. before we got to Waipu cove  students had to take their shoes off, and walk through the stream, but it was not deep like knees high. When we had got to the other side of the stream, we our year 8s put all their shoes back on ready for the walk long ahead of us.

As we had just got to the end of the walk, the long and tiring one, that i’ll thought I would make, I was one of the first ten people there. So we had to wait for all the other year 8s to make it to the end. As they were all there, we were wiping our shoes all over the grass, because of all the mud we got on ourselves.

After that we had a little walk down to the beach where the bus was waiting, but we was not at the camp site at this time. So we just kicked back at the beach and ate lunch, as we were finished we got to go for a swim, but the teachers out in the water as well as us. The swim was like 30 min max and was not allowed to go over our head deep, just like chest deep, but we still had fun.

In the end we had made it to Masson point, so we packed our cabin with our stuff. Then the owner of the camp showed us, the year 8s around the camping site, where and where not to go without a adult. There was heaps of cool thing like a big as, water slide and a flying fox, and much more etc. So by the time we were finished talking about the rules, we got ready for dinner.
then after the dinner, we had putting, it was delicious. Then we got ready for our first night sleep there at the camp site.

I woke up it was a nice day, ready to do all the activities that the teachers had gavin us. But first we had breakfast, we had cereal, then the hot foods like spaghetti on toast and milo. The first activity that we did was surf education, we learnt about rips and currents, and how to know where one is. All we had to look for to find a rip was, to look for the calm patches in the water. When to know when the rip stops, well u look for the last set of waves and that is where it normally stops, unless its a under toe, that will pull you under the water.

The rules in and around water, don’t swim if you're tired or sick because if you get pulled out to sea you might not have the right amount of energy to swim back to the shaw. another reason not to swim is if there is no life guards, and you have dalt, trust your self it could save your life. The life guards told us some other rules, is slip, slop, slap, wrap.

Now this has bring me to my conclusion. Follow the rules to be water smart. Well on the last day we cleaned out our cabins, and got ready for the bus. All the year 8s was going to the hot pools, they was so so flash, they had a movie pool, lava pool, and it was so hot that I could not put my feet in. So we was on our way back to school, and we had to unpack all our bags from the bus and got ready to go home.

This is my avatar we do this so that we can put it on one of three levels. One is you have to be 2-3 meters away form the teacher. Two is you can be any where in the same room with the teacher. Three you can be any you want. So i will be 3. This is my avatar.

Colour.

Colour.

In class 5 we are learning about the primary colours. (how many primary colours are there?) Well there are three colours they are the following blue, yellow and red. We had to make the warm and cold colours from the three colours that our teacher gave us. We had to fill the hole chart that looks like the one on this page. This is how we made different colours we mixed with the three main colours. The colours we made was red, blue makes purple and blue yellow makes green, yellow, red makes orange ect.


The secondary colours. (what are the secondary colours and how many are there?) So secondary colours are the result of mixing the two primary colours to make the colour that you want. All the secondary colours are green, violet, orange. We was drawing building with hot and cold and colours hot with the background or on the building so the cold is the opposite so it stands out.


The tertiary colours made by mixing either one primary colour with one secondary to get the nice clear coat of a mixed colour like a yellowy green it looks good on art work. By the way that is what class five is learning about is  primary colours, secondary colours and last but not least tertiary colours. I think this makes our work more effective to the viewers.
