I can take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury

I can take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury

In this project I was working with lindsay,zach,cormac,rishab.

and we decided to create… water filter

Here is a link what we made. side show and the video

In this project we decided that our success criteria were:  

A good water filter needs...	Why is this important?
Produces drinkable water.	you will get sick if it doesn’t produce drinkable water.
It needs to be strong and long lasting	So that it can be used more than and we don’t have to make lots.
Easy to make and easy to use	So that we can easily rebuild it or use it.
Use the right materials.	Otherwise it won’t work as well.
Cost effcient and easily portable	So that you can easily make it again and take it with you.

Overall our project did not meet this criteria because we got some correct like use the right materials being strong and long lasting Cost effcient easily portable and Use the right materials. but not drinkable water because the materials we use where dirty so it was never going to get clean.

Koru Games

The activity I did was touch and I am in the a team mix

My CARE Progress

I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year.

I am proud of my progress but I feel I could do much better.

Give reasons for the answer that you have highlighted above

How far away are you from reaching your BRONZE

The area of CARE that I need to try harder in C / A / R / E

To achieve my BRONZE award quicker I need to not sit next to my friends

The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is but them in

Year 7/8 Standard: Reading Assessment task

Year 7/8 Standard: Reading Assessment task

WALT: I can use a use a wide range of comprehension strategies to understand text such as: - using their prior knowledge, along with information in the text, to interpret abstract ideas, complex plots, and sophisticated themes - gathering, evaluating, and synthesising information across a small range of texts - identifying and resolving issues that come from competing information in texts

Complete both texts and write the answers in your own words.

TASK 1 - read the text about Sneakairs	TEXT: EasyJet's Smart "Sneakairs" Makes Sightseeing Effortless
What I already know about navigating with maps?	how to use them and find places  how hard it is to get places
Who created “Senakairs?”?	. easy jet

Can you think of a better invention than Sneakairs to help us navigate places? Why is that invention better than Sneakairs?	chip in a shirt  if you have been for a long walk your shoes will be sweety and it will be grose geting then out

TASK 2: The purpose of this task is to identify details that support a main idea.

A main idea that the author David Hill often explores is: New Zealand's natural environment, and how awesome (impressive and amazing) and powerful it can be.

Read the following passages from pages 7, 8 and 9 of "The Sleeper Wakes" by David Hill.

a) Find details in the text that support this main idea. Underline these details.

b) Think about what the 'sleeper' is, and how it would 'wake' up. Highlight details in the text that suggest this development.

Two girls stood with their parents by a car, watching him. So Corey tried to look cool and expert, and he started up the track behind his father. The blunt pyramid of Mt Taranaki lifted into a blue winter sky. Snow softened the cliffs where lava had flowed, thousands of years ago. High up towards the summit, the ridge of The Lizard showed where more lava had crawled downwards before cooling and setting. Corey lowered his gaze to the 4WD track twisting up the mountain's north-east flank. Packed grey and green trees rose on either side. After just ten metres, all sounds from the carpark faded away. Only the crunch of their boots broke the silence. Three steps ahead, his   Dad walked steadily. He wore a woolleopn hat and green Gortex jacket to keep out the June cold. Warwick Lockyer, Department of Conservation Field Officer; expert on Mt Taranaki; tramper and climber. His father loved this mountain. He loved its silences and stories, the way it tested people. Corey felt the same way. Being up here was the greatest feeling in the world. Pity some other people couldn't see it that way. * * * After 30 minutes' climbing, they paused, took deep breaths, and gazed around. The trees were lower. Tangled, waist-high shrubs had taken over, crammed together for shelter, tops flattened by the wind. In summer, white and yellow flowers blazed here, flowers that grew nowhere else in the world. Now everything huddled beneath winter snow. Far below, the towns glinted like little grey models – New Plymouth, Inglewood, Stratford. Off to the left, the Tasman Sea was a sheet of grey steel. On the horizon, blue-and-white shapes shouldered upwards: the peaks of Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe, Tongariro. Corey thought of Riki, the other DoC Field Officer. From Riki,he'd heard how Mt Taranaki once stood beside those other volcanoes, fought with them for the love of beautiful Mt Pihanga, then marched away in anger after losing the fight. Hardly any Maori people lived along the line between Ruapehu and Mt Taranaki; they believe that one day, Taranaki would head back in the fire and smoke to find his love again. Corey stood listening to the silence. A puff of wind slid past. A pebble, loosened by the morning sun probably, dropped from an icy bank nearby. 'Awesome day,' Corey said. His father nodded. 'Pity Dean couldn't make it.' Corey glanced up at the dazzling white summit. Dean was a volcanologist who monitored New Zealand's North Island volcanoes to see if any eruptions seemed likely. He came to visit two or three times a year, even though nothing ever happened on Mt Taranaki. Corey's father was gazing upwards, too. He stretched, and grinned at his son. 'Come on, mate. We're sleepier than this mountain.'

Term 1 Integrated Learning - Leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.

Here is a link to the Leadership modelling book.

We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are……. 

Integrity Goal Focused Trustworthy Active Thinker Resilient Motivational

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is goal focused………..because…………I want a task and get it done

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is resilient……….because………..I want to challenge my self

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is………….The traits

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is  relational………..because……… I know some things about leaders

My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.

Visual Art: WALT: Apply knowledge about shapes and patterns derived from nature into an original artwork

For Visual Art the SOLO level I achieved was: relational

I techniques I used in my art work to achieve this level were: i blender colors and make it funny and interesting

Here is a photo of my art work:

My next step in visual art is: put more images in it
