My Goal for Term Two is to manage my impulsivity and not only focus on one area of social science.

Physical Education

During PE this term, we have been learning about small ball skills. Some of the sports we have played that need use small balls are: Hockey, Cricket, Softball and so forth.

My goal in PE for term two is to be more active when it comes to class PE and syndicate sport.

Visual ArtsFor tech in art, we

have been making mural

paintings to put up around our

school. We have also been looking at different tapa

designs from different

“Futures”. This term I was in the Cook

Island Group. It was a great experience

for me to perform in front of many

crowds.

My reflection for this term is getting to work in the new computer suite and working on new websites.

My goal for next term is to try and upload new things on my web pages.

Environmental Education

During the end of term one our class started to plant some newly born trees in the school nursery.

During the ICT blocks our class has been on environmental education field trips on the learNZ website. We have did been on field trips that talk about wind power, marine reserves and other places and this has been my reflection for term one.

My goals in Enviro Education is to pay more attention to the learNZ field trips and complete the tasks that are given in good time.

Term Reflections

One of my big term reflections is the Cultural Night and Cultural Festival down at the Otahuhu Recreation Centre. I had a lot of fun performing in front of thousands of people and enjoy myself and getting to know new people from around the school.

ScienceIn Science this term we studied

about Electricity and Magnetism. For my Science Fair Project I had to

demonstrate how electromagnetism can be used to make electric motor. In the end it worked out.

My goal for term three is to produce more work in Science.

Technology

This term group B has been working in the Food Tech Room.

During our food tech classes we have been learning about Bio Technology. We learnt how yeast is alive and how it grows.

Exciting Things That Happened

• Year 8 Camp WaikatoCamp was such a fun experience,

doing lots of different things like orienteering, rock climbing, walking to the waterfall and many more . . .

• Girls and Boys Hockey Tournament.This day was such a fun day with the

boys finishing at second place and the girls ending it at third place.

Term Two ReflectionsTerm Two went very fast and really

well. The Science Fair Project was really fun working on and learning new things. The Hockey Tournament was exciting and challenging but was still fun.

One of he big reflections was going to Camp Waikato. That would have to have been one of the best activities we have done this year.
