BUILDING MY OWN ROLLER COASTER!!! Immersion

By Anonymous -
Today for Amy's Immersion we were learning about potential and kinetic energy, so she made us make our own roller coaster on BUILD YOUR OWN ROLLER COASTER!!! I thought it was going to be a 3D roller coaster and you could decorate it but it wasn't. It was really fun and I really enjoyed it. I failed like 7 times and it was actually quite challenging. I got it in the end though because I read my feedback and then I ended up getting both thumbs up. YAY!!! We made this roller coaster because it links to kinetic energy. If you didn't know, kinetic energy is energy that has force or moved for example a ROLLER COASTER so that is why we did this roller coaster game.

What really challenged me was trying to get my roller coaster to be safe and fun at the same time.

I really enjoyed getting both thumbs up. It made me really happy.

Term 1 Last term I was in Felicity's maths group called fluffy. we learnt about fractions, percentages and decimals. I really liked doing Improper fractions to Mixed numbers and Mixed numbers to improper fractions. My challenges in Fluffy were trying to finish my follow ups in the little time we had. I was also a bit of a procrastinator so that had a bit to do with it as well.  My highlights in fluffy was doing improper fractions to mixed numbers and mixed numbers to improper fractions. Term 2  This term we have been learning about area, perimeter and volume. We have had a lot of maths buddy tasks. It has been a real challenge because there are year 8, 9 and even year 10 stuff but it is still fun even though I don't get it right. We have lately been using SKETCHUP and it is really fun. We are using SKETCHUP to help with our area and perimeter. The challenges I have had in Amy's maths group is the year 9 and 10 stuff we have to do. I am actually surprised that I have go...

What I did? This week my goal was jumping strategy addition. I went on maths buddy and I practiced jumping numbers so I could get better at it, then I could prove my goals. What challenged me? What challenged me was getting used to the strategy, but finally I did. What are my next steps? My next steps are to practice more so I can get better.  60+31=91  40+21=61  53+31=84  31+31=62  28+61=89  34+22=56  54+23=74  53+33=86  68+23=91  16+54=70

My Project Journey

By Anonymous -
I am really happy because I got chosen to be in the project group I applied for. I applied to be in the portal project because I really wanted to help decorate our portal and make it look better. This project is also giving me the opportunity to learn more about Hobsonville Point's history and sharing it with my group. I have been working with a new girl called Yuka and she is really nice. She has also adapted really fast to our school and she is very helpful with our research. Our main question we are working on now is Who used to live in Hobsonville Point? We have found great information that will help us out with our project. My highlights so far have been working with new and different people because I feel I have made some friends by doing this. The challenges I have had so far have been trying to find pictures of people who used to live in Hobsonville Point. I am really enjoying myself during this project because I can use the creative side of my brain and the organised...
