Reading WK2 T3

I finished my Reading tasks early this week which were about ecosystems, adaptations, etc. I think I'm very proud of my 10/10 score when I took the quiz again. Have a great day!

Maths WK1 T3

In Week 1 I was practicing Ratios. Ratios are really simple, for example if you had 13 books and 6 shelves, the ratio would be 13:6. 

Reading WK1 T3

My Reading for Week 1 of Term 3. I read some very interesting books and had some interesting questions about it.

Reading WK10 T2

My Reading for this week! We are performing a play. If you're a Harry Potter fan, me and my friend Samantha put a few references in the script which you can view. The two of us changed the script a little and we liked what we came up with!

STEAM Fair Planner

Me and my friend Emily did an art project for STEAM! STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math. We had lots of fun doing the artwork and even received a distinction award!

Thank you Letter - Glow Show

To The Glow Show Company,

Thank you for letting our school attend your Matariki Glow

Show. It was a lovely experience for such a small price.

We’re very thankful that you lowered the price from $10

to just a gold coin. My favorite  would have to be the

beautiful butterfly puppet. It's smart to include holes

between the wings to fit your hands in so you can easily

flap the wings. It was also bright and pretty, I liked the

colors very much. Whoever made the puppets did a
lovely job on them. I also think that the singing was great.

After the show, we saw the four people who played the

characters on stage. It's surprising to think that only four

people played the characters, they even sang for

all of them! 

If I had to choose a favorite character, it’d definitely

be the Taniwha. The Taniwha was a funny character.

My second favorite would have to be the satellite when

he was glitching everywhere in space. The show was

hilarious and you could barely see anybody unless you

looked close enough. It was as if the puppets were floating

by themselves. The cast was great too. Good thing there

were a ton of seats, I’d definitely feel bad if anyone had to

miss out on an experience like that. As soon as the

butterfly flew as the theater darkened, I knew that it

was going to be a great show. 

I can’t really say that I disliked anything, especially the puppets!

You can easily tell that there’s been so much work put into it. It’s

nice that somebody put so much effort into the puppets. So to

end it off, I really enjoyed the show and I would love

to go see it again!

How to be a School Leader!

Are you interested in becoming a School Leader? Then
pay close attention, I’ll be

teaching you how to be a great School
Leader at PCS.

First off, you have to be very respectful towards others. This
is because you talk to lots of people, even special guests that arrive
at the school for a Duffy Assembly, which you might be chosen to
introduce. Why does being respectful apply to this? Because you have
to be very kind as you are speaking to them, otherwise they might not feel
as welcome. Respect is an important quality you should already have
before you get chosen as a Leader. You also shouldn’t have an
annoyed tone as you speak to people either. You should also
make others feel welcome, such as new students or guests.

Next comes confidence. Confidence is very important. Back to the
“introducing guests” part, you have to be confident enough to speak
to them. And you also have to take on the job of having to host
whole school assemblies a few times. This also means having

to contribute as a School Leader. Accept other ideas that people
have, it's also okay to give feedback if you disagree. For
example, School Leaders can also organize fundraisers for
trips. When you are discussing fundraiser ideas, take in
other ideas and accept them, rather than not accepting
anything at all.

And then comes responsibility. Another important quality
for School Leaders. You have to be on time. For a few things,
maybe jobs. Speaking of time, you also should be

able to manage your time. Time is important, you should
be able to prioritise. Since school leaders get jobs, you
should try to put the important jobs first, and the least

important last. And you should be hard-working,
like getting work done instead of spending it doing
less important things like having a conversation with your buddy.

That’s what makes responsibility important.

Last comes being a learner. School Leaders should
be able to finish their work fast and go to a job. They
should still be able to learn stuff, and handle their jobs. It sounds
a little hard to learn and do jobs at the same time, but you should be
able to be hard-working. Being hard-working doesn’t mean you can
finish work immediately, not always do you have to finish it.
All you have to do is try and have fun. As the school motto

says, ‘We have fun learning.’

All of those qualities are important. They all add up to being
a great School Leader. Being a School Leader also applies
to your life in the future because all the information about
your schools go onto what's called a CV. On your CV it should
say that you're a school leader. That information is important,
because when you want to get hired for a job, whoever is
hiring you can look at your CV and know that you’d
be a great employee. That makes it easier for you to get a job.

Reading WK9 T2

My Reading for Week 9! We did a few research on MOTAT because week 9 was the week we had our MOTAT trips. It was really fun and we were checking out the website.

Simplifying Fractions (WK10 T2)

This week I only did a single task on simplifying fractions. It was really easy and I enjoyed it once I found out how I did it.

Maths WK5 T2

This is my Maths for Week 5. I'll be posting all of my other Maths slides now. I only had to do everything in my book. My favorite task would have to be the buildings (1st Task).
