Task description: This week during Maths, we are learning to do word problems. We had to show and explain our thinking not just answer the question. My high light was being able to understand my work and finishing it really fast. Low light not being able to do DLO because all the imacs were taken. Some thing I can work on is remembering to post my slides before getting busy with other work. After that we completed the task, we posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.
Speech Reflection
Task description: This week during Writing, we are reflecting on how we did on our speech which we read last week to our class. I was freaking out so much the whole week coming to the day we read our speeches but at the end I felt I did pertty good. It was so good to see that I memorised my speech and I was really happy about that. I made some compelling arguments. I know I was nervous but I delivered it with confidence. I think because of the nerves I spoke quite quickly but I’m sure this would change if I were to do it again.
My high light was being able to understand my work and being able to say it in front of everyone. Low light not being able to concentration because I was nerves. Some thing I can work on is spending less time on my work and more time trying to calm myself so I can speak properly. After that we completed the task, we posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.
Why do we need exercise?
Task description: This week during Inquiry, we are learning about how exercise affect your concentration and it does because when you do any type of intense physical activity it helps your blood to flow to the brain and this helps your neurons and promotes cell growth and become bigger and stronger, particularly in the hippocampus, so that means if you just take 20 minutes of exercise before you start studying it can improve your concentration and help you focus on your learning.
High light was being able to understand my work and being able to finish it really fast. Low light not being able to concentration because everyone keep talking. Some thing I can work on is spending less time on my work. After that we completed the task, we posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon.

Cybersmart challenge: Think before you share
Task description: This week during Cybersmart, we are learning to think before we share and leaving a smart footprint. This challenge is part of the Smart Footprint strand, as we will be thinking about how to promote ourselves positively online. In this challenge we had to be thinking about what images and statements are ok to post online, and which ones should be kept private.
For this Challenge we were going to be learning to think about what we sharing before we share information about yourself online. Thinking carefully about whether what we’re sharing is positive is an important part of being a Smart Learner! Always remember to think before you share.
High light was being able to understand my work and learning about things we can and can not share online, low light not being able to do faster because I got busy with other things. Some thing I can work on spending less time on the task and working faster.

What to do when your angry or frustrated?
This week during Inquiry, we are learning about things we can do as a student that is dealing with anger or frustration at school. My high light was seeing how many people also do the same things I do when I’m mad or feeling really annoyed to the point my mind feels like it’s gonna blow.
My low light was that talking about it was kinda make me overthink a litlle bit cause it remindede me of times where nothing worked and people were just making it so much worse for me.
Some thing I can work on and take away from this is trying a little harder to calm myself when I’m annoyed because I get mad really easily.
Some things I could do and so could you when your mad is…
Think before you speak
Once you’re calm
Express your concerns
Get some exercise
Take a timeout
Listen to music
Identify possible solutions
Stick with ‘I’ statements
Don’t hold a grudge
Use humor to release tension and so on.
But these are just some that I use and that usually work for me, but sometimes I just need to get away from everyone and be alone because the more I’m with people when I’m mad the worse it gets.
I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.

Manaiakalani Film Festival Script
Zaria💗✨
Dear future Parliament,
Firstly to start this off on behalf of everyone, I would like to say thank you for all your hard work and everything you’re doing for our education and our furniture but there are some things us kids are unsure and concerned about, this is because we feel our voices aren’t really being heard and us children have questions and we’re reaching out in hope for answers. And as our prime minister it’s your responsibility to listen to our voices yet only kids at the age of 18 or over can vote, but what about us: 10-17 year olds. Because anything you do as our new leader will affect us growing up and our future. And not only us but the new generation and the one after that. As children a lot of times we are just misunderstood and our voices are covered, and we demand we are heard. I think that they should at least consider our opinions and hear our voices, because this affects us and the next generation more than our parents or grandparents. Just because our voices are small doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be heard. And I’m not trying to be rude but it’s something that should be taken under consideration.

Dear future leaders,
On behalf of everyone, Thank you for the amazing things you have done for us. We appreciate it, but there are some issues that are not being spoken of as much as they should. Our next generations are not looking good with all these horrible things that are happening to our planet, Climate change, global warming, like the fires in Hawaii, and the bushfires in Australia that happened a couple of years ago. animals going extinct, deadly diseases, pollution…! And somebody needs to be a voice for our future generations since they don’t yet have a voice and cannot be heard. We cannot be heard because we cannot vote in elections as we have to be 18 or older. And we know this might be for the best but you should still consider our ideas and opinions as it will affect us more in the future than you grown ups. Talking about earth… Our planet might not stay in a healthy living environment for long, the air is getting humid, and deadly diseases are becoming more popular, Covid 19 is just one example for these diseases. our leaders are the people who have the biggest say on these issues but are still the ones who make the little mistakes that have the big outcomes. Don’t get us wrong, we love what you do and all the time and effort you put into your job to make New Zealand a better place. But please think about the voices who cannot be heard before you make decisions.

Dear Government,
Thank you for all the hard work you do to educate us and for our future, but as a student and child growing up in this generation, I have some questions: Why is everything super super expensive? On behalf of us Kids, I would just like to talk about how important education is to all ages of people, that means from babies to the elderly. First I would just like to give you some suggestions, In my opinion School taxes should be lower so that families who aren’t doing well for their kids can afford it, also uniform Stationary should be provided at school only and should be sold for $10 or $20 dollars at least, Government, all im asking you to do is make school taxes and everything else cheap, I mean look at all the poor children struggling to learn

Dear Government,
On behalf of the children from this Generation, I would like to say thank you for what you have done. Now I’m not trying to blame anyone but I blame you! You are Making people feel bad because some of them can not afford things these days. Gas prices and food prices are going up and it is driving people crazy. Parents having to work extra hours for the bare minimum all to do what? Feed their children and make sure that they are okay. Now I’m not trying to say anything but I am just trying to prove a point! All of our lives are in your hands. You are the future leaders and you need to be making the right descion for not only us children but our families. Life is getting harder.
Task description: This week during Extension, we were working on our Manaiakalani film festival script because next term we are going to watch our films of the big screen at Sylvia Park. In my group it was me, Hailey, Kensi, Victoria and we were all working on one doc but we all wrote different paragraphs on one point we were trying to make. I talked about how our voices weren’t being heard and how we should have a say in the election. This script is all about the problems and issues that the future government should be concerned about which is coming from 11-13 year olds. As a group we talked about a lot of different things going on in society nowadays and to be honest even at school lately. The next thing were gonna work on is the lay out of our script. After that we completed the task, we posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed.
