Bold Blogger Of The Week

Bula! Last term, our Class Bloggers decided that we were going to have a "Bold Blogger Of The Week". This idea was inspired by Rimu Class who have a "Brilliant Blogger Of The Week". 

All the Class Bloggers chose a couple of adjectives starting with the letter "B". I don't exactly remember what the words were but I can tell you after we each chose words we had a class debate and "Brainy" was a close competitor but "Bold" ended up winning.

Each Monday we will be choosing a Blogger from our class who has done an excellent blog post! We will add in a direct link to the blogpost so that even you can read their amazing work within a click of a link!
The bold of the week this week is...

Kiwi Kaha

Kiwi Kaha

Hi, guys today I am talking about Kiwi Kaha. If you do know what Kiwi Kaha is it is when two people come to our school and teach us how to respect, be kind and much more. Also, we get points at the end of every season and try to fill up a bucket with points. Our class go our bucket filled. When it gets filled up all of the classes have a challenge. It is like "Minute To Win It." So today was the day we got to do all of the thoughts challenge. So here is how it works. So for one challenge, someone has to come up from every class.

Bench Ball - New Hurumanu!

Hey guys, last Tuesday we started our new Hurumanu, P.E!  Most of our class was said about P.E but after the first game we all enjoyed it. The game was called "Bench Ball." And now I'm going to teach you.  

How you play "Bench Ball" is you get into teams of 5 and separate into different courts. There should be 2 teams per court. You have 1 ball between both teams. 

Your goal is to get your whole team on the beach by pasting it around to your players. It needs to reach the goalie. Here are some photos.

Collaborating with 9Ay

Recently, 9Ay have been learning about sundials in maths with Mr Rees. 9Ay came to visit 7/8Tz to share some of their learning.

A sundial is a tool that uses the sun to help tell the time. It consists of two main components - the flat plate and the gnomon. When the sun shines onto a sundial the gnomon (the part that sticks up) casts a shadow. This shadow will fall somewhere on the flat plate and using the numbers on the flat plate, we can tell the time.

Check out these awesome sundials made by students in 9Ay:

We loved collaborating with 9Ay and look forward to sharing more learning with them.

Hurumanu

This term 7/8Tz and 7/8Bh have been working together for four periods a week for Hurumanu (modules). Our hurumanu was a combination of health and drama taught by Miss Tozer and Mrs Clarke, called 'Change and Challenge.'

Over the term, we have been learning about some of the changes and challenges we go through as we grow up. The four dimensions of Hauora, being people smart, showing our CARR values and looking after ourselves were some of the things that we talked about. Mrs Clarke taught us heaps of new and exciting things such as how to create a freeze frame to convey a message, captioning freeze frames to share an important message, puppet making, creating a chorus of movement and role-playing. At the end of our hurumanu, we had to bring all of our learning together to create a performance to be shared with the rest of the class.

Check out the photos below that were taken throughout our hurumanu.

Welcome to our blog!

Kia ora and welcome to 7/8Tz's class blog for 2019. This year we have a mixture of Year 7 & 8 students in our class. We have lots of exciting things happening this year and we know that it is going to be an awesome year. Here are some photos of our year so far.

Year 7 & 8 Surfing at Sumner Beach:

We had a great time at Sumner Beach learning how to surf, exploring the shoreline and playing beach games. Everyone had a fantastic day out!

Top Team

To help us get to know each other, we had Top Team come to Hornby High School. All of the Year 7 & 8 students were mixed up and put in different groups. We had to work together to complete challenges and for every challenge that we completed, we got points. There were some really fun activities such as a giant jigsaw, hoop toss, plank walking and the water challenge. Check out the awesome photos below.
