Basic Facts and Problem Solving!

In my basic facts so far I've gotten 100%. Basic facts is a test of basic equations for example 7x8=56. It includes addition,subtraction,multiplication and division. To improve I could start getting a better time, my current fastest time was 2 miutes and 45 seconds for 100 equasions. Since I'm great with my basic facts I need to improve in my problem solving skills. She said that it was part reading, her  advice was to read the question carefully. I started thinking that is just an equasion put into words.

Term 2 Starts!

Term 2 is here which means theres more work to be done. We did alot in the holidays like watching a movie and going to birthday parties. I have finished all my school work and now I have to watch my classmates uncompleted role play.

THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!

It's the school holidays and it's time to sit back and relax. But somehow I kind of feel sad that I don't get to go  school. I haven't done much, this holiday is going to be a bit boring apart from bowling on Friday. But who knows what next week holds.

Statistics Unit

We have finished the Statistics unit, I enjoyed it. The graph that I liked the most was the pie graph. It had the use of the protractor. I liked learning the measurement of the angles, for me it was easy. I found out that there is a difference between bar graphs and histograms. My friend got it wrong on the first time. He thought that the bar graph was the histogram, and so he got it wrong. I also learned about averages, mean, mode range and median. I memorised it because you can easily get it wrong. In the end I learned a lot about it.

E.O.T.C Week

E.O.T.C week finished and it was fun. Not one day did it rain, everyday was either sunny or cloudy. Mostly sunny.

First was Walk up a mountain which was excercise, but I didn't quite like it. Next was sports at the gym, games was what we actually did. Now that was enjoyable. Then came the film festival, it was boring except for the first part which was interesting. But the rest sadly was really boring. Next we traveled all over the city visiting the space observatory, a museum and a gallery. Now that was amazing. We even got to record videos to share in the end with an Ipad. Finally came another art gallery but we got to swim in the pool afterwards.

The week has given me some new experiences that made me learn a whole bunch of things. It was not only educational but it was awesome with excitement everywhere we go. While we did this year 8's were at camp and had their fun too!

About me

Now I haven't told you about myself. My name is Renzo Ubaldo, I like playing basketball and swimming. I am New Zealand born, and part filipino.

E.O.T.C (education outside the classroom)

While year 8's are at camp year 7's will have a week of trips to various places. Firstly we tramp up Mt. Kaukau, a mountain not far from school. Then activities at a recreation centre, probably sports. Film Festival is next but I have no idea what it is, maybe like video and camera stuff. Capital E connections is like museums, history and more educational stuff. Finally we visit an art museum and swim in one of my favourite swimming pools
