Cycle safety

Yesterday was our first day of cycle safety we had a helmet and bike check. My bike passed because it was only one day old but my helmet didn't because it had a crack in it. Today we get to actually ride our bikes and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Example of a screenshot

Here is an example of a rubric showing how you might write your evaluations. A copy of the webquest rubric is stored inside the Class Server > 14 > Organisation > Webquest Rubrics for you.

This image shows how well I think I did for my webquest. As you can see, the areas in which I am strong include: permissions, multimedia elements and surface features.

The next steps if I was to do this again include: to make the published copy higher quality by choosing better fonts.

To take a screenshot on a Mac, hold down Apple-Shift and press the number '4'. Then drag around the region of the screen you wish to take a screenshot of. On a Windows computer, press 'Print Screen'.

Different cultures

How do I treat people from different cultures?
I treat them the same as everybody as because they maybe uncomfortable living in a new area and moving to a different contry so I think even if you aren't the same culture still treat people the same way. And don't talk behind there backs only if it's something nice about them.

How are people from different cultures the same?
Because you may look different but in the inside you are the same and you may have different weaknesses but inside you have the same. I think you are all the same but maybe you look different and act different but you are still the same.

How can we make new people feel welcomed?
You could welcome them by inviting them round and meeting them and getting to know them Show them round the school teach them how to do things they can't do and encourage them.

Naomi's Reflection

Today I learnt how to write an HTML code for links this is how you do it=something ( you type in the title)and you end the tag with and I am going to try hard to remember this.
Because of this learning I can now make my blogs look better and do more things to it!
The next step in my learning is to follow my goals and keep my desk tidy.

Reflection - Mediators

Today I had mediation traing. It was good that Room14 had mediation training inside and not in the villege. I also had maths in the staff room for maths I did things like 56.6-49.7=? because of this I got better at maths my next step is to get more better at maths.

Nicky's reflection.

Today I learn't to think on the spot because we were ment to have done our goals and I was getting behind in it. I think you should always keep up with your work and try not getting far behind. I also learn't how to do a URL and trying to remember and I think it will be fun practicing and learning it off by heart doing URL's.
My next steps are....
Keep up with my work.
Learn a bit more about URLS.

Because of this learning I can now Do URLS often.
And think about doing thinks before they are over due.

electrocity-jun

There is this web site called electrocity and its a site where you can build your own town(your the mayor of the town the you make) and you could very BIG prizes like a computer. go on to: www.electrocity.co.nz.

Daily Reflection

Today I learned that when you are supposed to be quiet you need to stay quiet because if you don't you have to do what ever you are doing after school even if you have to ring your parents or you have something on after school.
Because of this learning I now know that when you get told to be quiet you need to zip your mouth so you don't have to do your work after school.
Something I don't understand is why you have to do because what if you have something that you have to go to and you are not aloud because you were being noisy.
The next step in my learning is to make sure that when I get told to be quite that I am quiet.

Naomi's reflection

Today I learnt how to put a kid pix picture in to a power point.
Because of this learning I know understand that it it like trying to stuff a pumpkin through a hose pipe if you don't put the kid pix picture into a JPEG.
The next step in my learning is to type faster.

Reflection - web quest

Today was the first day of term 3.
In non-nagostbale time I did global warming web quest I printed the information that Penny got and I made a poster out of it. I got some images for the poster. I had maths and I had to write down 2 strategies to answer a question. It was bad that Room 14 didn't do fitness
