How has having a Netbook helped my learning?

It help’s me with all sort’s of my learning like in reading it help’s me a lot and in maths too and writing. And it also help’s me research other things for when i’m doing my work.

Has having a Netbook helped you communicate with your teacher?

She can communicate by putting our work on our class site and she sends us work on our Gmail. And she can go on Google drive and leave comments there.

What have you learnt online?

I have learnt online how we use our Netbook for research, work and many things like today we were researching Nelson Mandela and write it in our writing. And I learnt that his family is missing him. Mandela’s family commented on his death, they said “They lost a good man, a man from the soil” that was their first statement since Nelson Mandela’s death.

What have you learnt from your friends?

The thing’s I have learnt from my friends is how to get in touch by sending E Mails and making new friends and saying kind, gentle and smart words. And I have taught a friend how to use his Netbook, and how to save his work on his Google drive and all sort of things.

My Poem about my best friend.

My  best Poem about my friend.

My friend is special to me,

his snoring sounds like a bee

his favourite colour is yellow like the sun.

His eyes are brown like his skin colour,

and his hair is  black like a cat’s fur.

Smart,Creative,

Sometimes lazy,

Sometimes getting into trouble for talking,

Brainy.

He cracks up sometimes like a comedian,

Sometimes annoying.

He is sometimes good at some sports,

like he tries his best by sprinting but others beat him,

he’s good at discus,shot put and long jump.

and he eats a lot of food.

And at home he like’s to play,

basketball,american football,Dodgeball,baseball.

News Article. Colorado floods.

                         Colorado floods.

Around 500 people are unaccounted for and nearly 2000 people have been evacuated as flood-ravaged Colorado faces more rain. Officials have warned the death toll from the week's severe flooding could rise as it was confirmed that a second person was missing and presumed dead, in addition to four deaths previously verified. The 80-year-old woman had been at home with an injury when the building in which she lived was destroyed, the Larimer County sheriff's office said on its Twitter feed. Previously, authorities had confirmed that a 60-year-old woman was missing and presumed dead after witnesses said they saw her mountain home swept away. Their names have not been released.

This is what we learnt in reading.

Response Writing.

Background info:

This article is about students are failing school and their education and how they are treated badly at home. Two former members received access to the Alliance database.  

Explore the writing: Is it good?Yes Why No Why

I think this writing is bad and i don’t agree because it talk’s about children in who leave school usually never complete their NCEA levels and how most of the children fail class and how they don’t get treated the same way at home and how they usually take their behavior at home and take it to school because usually at home there parents have low income and how they usually get treated badly at home and that is what affects children’s learning because they are sometimes afraid if they get in trouble in class and their parent’s have to come to a meeting with their teacher when they have time to talk.

Judgment:

This article could use some more interesting words. They should of said the meaning of OECD NCEA. Also should say some things that can help improve in their learning. And its good that Kate shuttle-worth wrote this article so that parent can read it.

This week in Maths we made Loopy People

In Maths we had to measure ourselves and calculate the measurements.We had to cut strips of paper and get 5 each. We also had to halve our measurement and put them on the paper we had to colour it in and decorate it. We gave it to our teacher Miss Tofa to staple it together and then we stapled it in our class for everyone to see.
