MADD Diary

1.04.15 

Today we had another session of MADD.Today we were talking about skills and talents .Petia talked to us about how your born with talents and how skills are learnt not given  .He talked to us about Sonny Bill Williams and how he always was he last one to leave the training grounds and always the first one to show up .

He split us up in to groups I was in the fourth group we did a play about playing a video game called 2K15 WWE I was playing as the gamer .I got to control  Voni he was sting I won the match but Lennox did not read the rules so we started arguing about why he did not read the rules so then Joseph explained why he should read the rules before he plays the game.

Petia did some chalk art as a final activity it was call because he was drawing slowly and we could see that he was drawing Wonder Woman it was cool cause he made her hair look like it was blowing  in the wind because it was dragged out to the side .Then he said by to us and we got to see his picture up close it looked cool.

Term 1 reflection

​I like this term because there has been so much sports I joined the cricket team and we won the tournament .I also enjoyed the cricket sessions with the coaches my favourite sport is touch we are getting sessions from Eric .He showed us how to hold the ball properly.​Our first sport we did was soft ball it was cool because we got to play an actual game of softball.

​I like this term because I think I did well in  my testing .I liked the reading  test because I used my strategy to use  the information to answer the question.I also liked the math test it was cool because some of the questions were easy the only hard one was when we had the PAT test online some of those questions were hard because it involved having to use decimals and  division to solve questions.

​My favourite part of this term has to be technology because we are working with Mr Grundy.We are doing wood work we all get to make something. I am making a jeep as my project it is one of the first models they brought out .I am up to putting on the hood then I have to put on the wheels .It is  looking good.

​The best part of this term has been all the good opportunities I have been given such as being a tour guide and going to the cricket tournament .I have also gotten  the chance to meet visitors .The  good part of being in Room 10 is that there is lots of people that I Know .Ican squally work with others but sometimes I work by myself .I mostly like working with others because we can have a good old laugh but sometimes we get in trouble for talking when we are not aloud .I think this term has gone really well because we have mostly behaved through out the term.

Tides and Ocean currents

Tides And Ocean Currents.

Surfers and seafarers all know that the water around New Zealand is changing.

Driven by the wind,the warm subtropical water flows and swirls around the island.

Tides ebb the  flow along the coast, and where fresh and seawater are brought

together at estuaries, fiords and river plumes-unique environments are created.

Wind blown from the East New Zealand  lies in the path of an eastward-flowing

currents, which are driven by winds that blow across the South Pacific Ocean.

These winds, the South East trades to the north,and the roaring forties to the

south, drive the water along the equator.

But even the most sophisticated satellite technology cannot provide analysis of the ocean

beyond a few centimetres deeper than the surface. 

To record the changes under the sea, back on board the research ships, Oceanographers use sophisticated cameras and equipment to record changes in ocean properties. Valuable data is archived and synthesised to build a picture of how ocean environments behave.

This were I got my information from:
