Term 4: 1st blog of the term - Huriata

Nau mai, hoki mai ki taku rangitaki. Ko tenei te wahanga tuawha o te tau! Kei te pehea tu hararei?

My personal goal for 2k17-
Managing my time and environment, this means keeping my work area clean and being prepared for upcoming events. I am very disorganised and untidy, so lately I've been... trying to leave my room 'well kept'. And to organise my papers at the end of the day.

One thing I am looking forward to this term is-
DINE AND DANCE! Because I get to hang around with friends, see others in unique clothes and have free food. Last year was a really fun year because I got to listen to some of my requested music (which didn't last through the full length) and  I always had dibs on the drinks no-one else really liked, like lemon water. I didn't like wearing the dress at all, and I wish, If I could change something - would be to let students wear proper, formal clothes (that aren't specifically dresses and tuxes)  

To fully enjoy these end of year opportunities, I will need to remember to have a positive mindset towards things, and to at least give things a try. Whether it be during learning, eotc or inside school events - and to participate in ways that I am involved.

GOALS RELATING TO HOBBIES: Literacy (Careers/ Skills lesson) - Huriata

GOALS RELATING TO HOBBIES: WALT: Identify and plan goals to achieve!

A skill I want to develop or improve: Is managing time and being more productive with my skill/ hobby. I need to be able to draw constantly and making sure it's at a good quality, so it can be sold and I can get money (To do other things/ buy stuff I want)

Ways I could develop this skill: Manage and plan events/ tasks. I need to sort activities separately (free time, school time, fam time) things like dates and set time frames so I'm well prepared and aware of what I'm doing (no waste time on unnecessary things) I think I'd be more successful if I have this type of mindset and skill.

Year 7: Fractions, decimals and percentages!

IALT use the part unknown strategy to compare amounts

I have completed a year 7 fractions, decimals and percentages worksheet. I had to solve/answer these questions, most/all were fractions and times tables/division questions. Fractions is something that I am actually working on and it seems like I am improving. I understand them more clearly and I am able to answer with a strategy. (Inside my head)
