My Reflection

This year I did my learning with Mrs Parker in a netbook classroom using Google Drive.

Having a netbook made it easier to write because it gave me all the details I needed when writing, and I didn't have to keep asking or keep distracting my teacher.

This year I learned that soldiers from war have dirty trenches to sleep in and they ate corn beef too. I also learnt that all of our soldiers had to leave their families behind just to protect them.

I did research on the solar system, the history of World War I and II and the secrets behind Galileo’s believe that the earth was in the centre of the universe and that the planets revolved around it.

The thing I enjoyed learning about the most was about the war because the soldiers fought hard for our country but, also made sure that they were safe too.

I still want to learn more about the planets because it has a lot of history behind it, and I mean the Galileo history. I think it’s fascinating to gain my knowledge about the fundamentals of science.  

The class trip/activity I enjoyed most this year was our motat trip because the classes got to see Sir Edmund Hillary, had a fun ride on the tram, ran maniacally around or through the mirror maze and finally the cars we had a chance to pretend we were driving.

I am proud of the way I have been respectful to others and encouraging my learning to grow stronger everyday.

Next year I am going to learn about stage 7 maths strategies and focus on things that our teachers say.

                 

Whittaker's Chocolate

Today our teacher Mrs Parker gave us chocolate from the Whittaker factory. The flavour was hokey pokey. Mrs Parker gave us the chocolate because she  wanted us to feel, smell, what it was like, and the weight even what is taste like too. The chocolate felt like creamy slime on our hands and it was really sticky. It smelt like freedom out of this world. The weight of the chocolate was very light  in my hands. Whittaker’s taste was pretty nice because it was low sugar and it had berries which was very cool. Whittaker’s chocolate will be the size of a cube like it is raining from the sky.The flavour I would like to create would be just cookies with dark chocolate.

The next day Mrs Parker gave us a chocolate with berries and biscuits for us to try. The chocolate is really tangy and almost like soury. I didn't like the chocolate because it had berries and I don’t like berries in chocolate, but a lot of people liked it. The size was shaped like a rectangle, the weight was light not heavy, it smelt like milk creamy chocolate, it felt smooth, and it tasted crunchy and soft. The flavour I will create will be sweet white chocolate with raspberries.

P.E with Tamaki College

On Friday the Tamaki College students came to glenbrae school to do P.E with us. After that we were given instructors. Our instructors let us play a fun game called moon walk. We had to bump the other team with a big bouncy ball and there was a lot of injuries.

We got really tired playing all the fun games with our TC instructors. Some groups had treats for being good. Afterwards our group played a game called bull rush tackle. I got tackled so I had to be a tagger. I didn't want to tackle people because I might injure them. A lot of people were in with me because I ran very fast and ankled tapped them. After that we finished P.E and went to the courts to get ready for class.

I felt happy because I got to play fun games, receive treats from our instructor and got to meet the Tamaki College students.
