To start off our fun Friyay Team Tui put in the effort to our Year 8 Leavers Assembly including an Pacifika Pearls item that we performed, it went real well and was the expectations the teachers expected. Straight after, Team Tui had their expo and shared their creation and learning with family and friends. Also sausage sizzles, drinks & ice blocks were being sold as a fundraiser to the Year 8 Leavers Hoodies.
Todays Cybersmart task was about looking for four quality things in a blog post. We used one of our Blog post for this task and it was a simple cybersmart activity for the day.
On the 21st of November a group of lucky students were chosen to go on a trip to Rainbow End for a day to spend with your peers, reason being we have been showing participation in all that the School provides , having the potential of being a good leader and showng the values of Glen Taylor School.
I spent my time wisely and went on all rides EXCEPT the fear fall, because I gave it a go once but never again that’s for sure. My favourite ride has to be the Invader and Stratosphere. Waiting in line was pleasing because there wasn’t as much people as there usually would be from my past times of being at Rainbow end.
In the first photo that’s when we took off into the bus on the way to Rainbow End , in the second photo that’s us enjoying ourselves on all the rides and ending it off by having a feed.
I am utterly grateful for getting given the choice of attending this Rainbow end trip. Overall as expected I enjoyed this memorable day very much.
For Week 7 Maths task we got a choice to choose from revising our multiplication etc . I chose to do Ixl to improve my combination working out. After a few problems of that I did addition problems solving it by using algortithm.
On the 10th of November 2023 the whole of Glen Taylor School had there athletics day. There was heaps of activites each person got involved in and all the competitive, maximum people invovled activities were saved for the last block. Coming from a student whos been here at GTS for 3years+ I reckon this is one of my best athletics I have attended in this School.
For Monday Oct 16th we started the day off with Maths. Todays Maths we were working in catergories going around to three stations of Maths probability games because that is our focus for this week. The three choices were Greedy pig, Bottle flip and Playing cards. You may be concerened on how this involved Math so there is a explantion of each game below this.
Greedy Pig : Rolling a dice and adding up in square boxes to 50, if the dice rolls onto number 1 then you restart.
Bottle Flip : You get to do 10 bottle flips and at the end add up your failures into one section and your successes into a different section.
Playing cards : Flipping cards over to reveal what it is and having to complete a list of task that you get givien using the cards.
For our Monday must do task we learnt about what a inference is. From my understanding a inference is a word that is basically putting together hints to make a guess based. I know foresure I make inferences daily but most times I dont notice it.
This Maths task is from yesterday. We had to read this “Ms Thomas, principal of Riverside High School, visits the local intermediate school to survey year 8 students about the options they would like to take next year. She asks them each to
choose two options.” and were given questions to answer which you’ll find at the bottom.
Today we decided to continue with our week 9 Cybersmart task. You may have a little trouble understanding what the task is saying so there is a translation at the end of this description. Todays task was basically just a little bit about ourselves and our favourite things which you’ll find on the last slide. The second slide just shows a Image of the Matariki stars and their names.
Taku Tino Kai = My Favourite Food
Taku tino wahi ki Aotearoa = My favourite place in New Zealand
Taku tino kiriata/whakaaturnga = My favourite show/movie
Taku tino tae = My favourite colour
Taku tino kararehe = My favourite animal
Taku tino inu = My favourite drink
Hope this helps out a little !
This entire slide shows what Team Tui has done for this week friday to end the week off with fun non hardcore work. The most challenging task for me was honestly the riddles and the polyline but at the end of the day I gave it my best shot. It was defintely a fun friyay though and we ended it off successfully .
