Week 9 Term 2

Bonjour;

Monday
In the first block, we had to take our Science Fair boards into the hall, and put them into the section they belonged in, either on a table or on the floor against a wall. The sections were Physical World, Material World, Living World, Real World, and my Science Fair is in Material World.
After Science Fair, we did Maths, and I completed all the assigned work on Percentages, and converting them.
In the second block we had ALC time, and we did soccer. After that, we did English skills; Semicolons and Apostrophes in our English and Reference books, which was really just revision for me.
In the last block, after lunch, we had Reading and Writing tasks to do, this is the book review that I have already completed, and the Persuasive writing, which I have started, and done three paragraphs on.

Tuesday
For the first block, we had Tech Arts, as usual, and we started a new cycle; Food! I think that Food is the best Tech Art, probably because I love to cook/bake. For Food, we made cheesy rolls and dip sticks. The rolls were really nice.
After morning tea, we did SSR, then my reading group (GP1) went down to the floor with the teacher for Summarising Texts.
Then we continued with our reading and writing tasks, which I am finished with, expect for needing to edit my book review. I am doing my book review on Fear, by Michael Grant, part of the Gone Series. This is an amazing series; I definitely recommend it to anyone intermediate age or older.
After lunch, we had maths; Percentages. My group had to go down to the teacher again.

Wednesday
In the first block, we had Maths, and my group (GP1) had to come down to the floor with the teacher for Percentages; Increasing and Decreasing Percentages.
At 9:30, we went to the hall to look at all the finished Science Fair boards. There were over 420 boards to look at.
After that, we came back to class and continued with Maths.
Then we went to the library to exchange, return, or renew any books.
After interval, we had SSR, which stands for Sustained Silent Reading.
Then we had to do our Reading and Writing. I edited and proof read my Book Review, and finished my Persuasive writing about plastic bags and how they need to be banned.
After lunch we continued with the same thing, because most people haven't finished their draft yet.
At 2:00, we went to the hall for a Powhiri. A Powhiri is when we welcome someone\some people to the school, and it is a big assembly to introduce them to the school.

Thursday
In the first block, I went to Extension Art. My painting is slowly being finished, and I am happy with how it looks so far, it is finally coming together.
After morning tea, we had the choice of Maths, Reading or Reading, whatever we needed to get finished.
After lunch there was the first lot of TAI vs Belmont sport. We were all going to go watch the sport, but it was raining too much, so we had to stay inside.

Friday
For the first block, we had a choice of Maths, Reading or Writing, whatever we needed to get  done. Then there was a Belmont assembly, I guess to make the exchange students feel welcome.
In the second block we had Tech; Food.
For Food today, I made Foccacia bread, and for my toppings, I put on ham and cheese.
In the last block, we had Japanese, and we learnt about food, and we got to use some chopsticks. Using the chopsticks, we competed to see who could pick up the most small wooden blocks in twenty seconds. I got sixteen on my first go. After that, because there was no Friday Sport, we did JumpJam.

Au Revoir
