Colour theory - Tech

Today for tech the year 7s has practised colouring patterns and generally colouring in. We firstly made our own colour wheel and learnt about the three prime colours. Red,Blue and Yellow. Here is the link to my colour wheel Colour theory I learnt that red,blue and yellow are primary colours because when they mix these colours come out as secondary. Green, Purple and orange. Although you can make darker colours depending on how much of the other colour you mix with another prime colour. Next we drew out a logo and colour it in with Analogous and complementary colours. Analogous means same or close colours like with mine I used purple, dark blue and a normal shade of blue. Complementary is like the opposite of primary colours for example my green,orange and red / pink coloured in fire fox.

Leader ship challenge

This week the year 7s have been doing some leadership activities. In the hall we were making diamond cubes as a collaborative group. We were learning about team work. Team work is a team that works together threw different challenges. We played different games that helps us work together as team. At the end my group: Joel,Fui,Joseph and I teamed up with another team to make the largest diamond cube. 

Paper Air plane challenge

Today for another leader ship challenge we have participated in another challenge. We had to make independent air planes and come back together to test them out. We had moved to the junior play ground and had a test throw to see who placed first. In the end chavda was able to win for our group and go in the final round for testing out our planes. Although I felt very achieved as I came second and got 11meters from the line in the hall.

Athletics

Today we have had a fun day of athletics. There was lots of fun activity's and a whole verity of different things to do. The different activity's were shot put, Sponge race, Discus, Long jump, Rob the nest, sprints, egg and spoon race and life savers. My favourite sport was the sponge race because it my team had good sports man ship when losing and because it was very fun. I liked sliding under the pole and jumping over the rope to dip the sponge in the water and run back.  Although I really had fun with the other sports but after lunch we had sprints. I was able to come third!

Stan walker

Today I have created a DLO about Stan walker. He has faced lots of bad things in his life but picked them back up and kept going. He has used lots of excellence and innovation in his life too. 

Quotes

Today I have completed another excellence care award task. This is about finding a inspirational quote and writing about what it means. I really got inspired by the weakness poster and never giving up when it happens. 

My personal passion

This is another one of my excellence care award tasks. I have completed my personal passion DLO. I have a big passion for drawing. I enjoy drawing because it lets me be creative with what I draw. The two drawings show cased on my DLO are two of my all time favourites!

3 Novels

For my excellence and innovation care awards I have created another DLO about 3 novels I have read in a term this year. I have written short summary's on Amulet, Josefa And The Vu, and Drama. I really enjoyed reading these books, because they really hooked me in by the vocabulary, pictures and settings. Although my favourite book out of the three is Amulet. I am very interested in Amulet, because the vocabulary and drawings make the story interesting. I am also very into adventure which also hooked me in.

Emily Gravett

For my excellence and innovation care awards I have made a DLO about Emily Gravett. She is a British author, a kids illustrator and a writer. She has written lots of interactive books like little mouse's big book of fears, Wolves, and Meerkat Mail. She is a very creative writer and all the pictures in her books were all illustrated by her. I have written three short summary's from three of her books. I have also listed facts about her books and her self. My favourite book so far written and illustrated by her was little mouse's big book of fears. I like this book because it teaches me different phobias and some of them I could actually relate too.

Wolves

Today I have made a DLO about what I believe wolves (myths) and the truth about it (facts). I was able to find out lots of information about wolves and it helped me a lot too. One of my most biggest questions were " Are there alphas and omegas in packs?" While researching I found out that there are alphas and omegas. The alphas are the highest rank in a pack and the omegas are the lowest rank. Although that doesn't mean a omega can be as strong and powerful as a alpha.

Meerkats

Yesterday I have made a DLO about Meerkats. Meerkats are very interesting animals that like in the kalahari dessert in a nice hot climate. The block circles around there eyes reflect the sun off so there eyes do not get damaged or hurt. In my DLO I have talked about different facts about meerkats.

What makes a good book?

Today I have made a graph for what makes a good book. What our class really liked the most in a good book is the words. There was a score up to 8 but it only got to 7. 

Differences between fiction and nonfiction.

This is officially our third activity for our book week challenge. I enjoyed this because we used our own knowledge to complete this task. We hope this will help others with the difference of Fiction and Nonfiction books.

3 genre of books we would never read.

Today Carl and I have made a DLO on three types of books we would never read... Although we had to give a explanation of why we wouldn't. In the end we decided on Science fiction, Drama and cook books.

How to take care of books.

Today Marieta and I has made a poster about how to take care of books for juniors. This poster will hopefully help juniors to respect there books and how they can. It is not a hard task to take care of books either. We have also made a explanation of why we should take care of books. There are many ways to take care of your own book. Three most important is having a case for it like a book bag, having no liquids near a book and no food near a book too.

Reading Pathway

This week in our school, Panmure bridge school is celebrating book week! I have made a reading path way of books I have read in my life. They all took me and a very interesting adventure and they all had a meaning and passion. The books on the following DLO is all my favourites that took me on a great journey. They bring back memories and helped me in the past. I really enjoyed making this reading pathway overall.

Art collage.

This week Angela and I has made four drawings (the 5th poppy not included). This activity was very fun as we took our time drawing our characters. I also really liked the idea of drawing instead! We have drawn two poppy's, a group of solider's, a solider and a gun. 

Armistice Commemoration.

Armistice day is a very important day to celebrate. It is part of the world as it is now the 100th armistice celebration. Our school has celebrated in our own armistice commemoration. We celebrate this because people part of the world has put so much effort into defending there country for peace. Although a representative apart of the army has come to visit us to tell us about what he and the army do for the world and to create peace. Although, we celebrate this because 16 million people died in world war 1. All those people fought for there country and for peace. But now they lay in honour of there country and world. They now rest. We created poppies to honour the ones who are now gone too. We are very honoured to remember those who have died.

Armistice Day

Graphics / Flower designing

Today for tech we had a special guest from Tamaki College helping us out! Her name is Autumn and she is a year 12. She helped us with drawing our circles and colour choice. We had four options to draw different things. A flower, Star, Cube and squares. I have made a rainbow / Summer vibe kind of colouring choice. I really like how my design turned out and this activity was very fun too! The flowers at the top are more examples of different ones. I really like the yellow and red flower as it has lots of detail and depth put into it.

Battle of the Somme

This week Joshua V, Marieta and I have answered questions on a DLO about the Battle Somme. We found the questions really interesting as they did fit the story but the questions were still very interesting to us. We did find some questions hard because we weren't collaborating that much but as we started working as a team we managed to finish! Although the story is on the slide and it is about Germany, France and the British war.
