Progress Report - Week 7

By Teach


This week I have been trying to convince Room 11 that one quality post a week is better than four or five poorly planned and written posts. Student's posts have lacked accuracy (grammar, spelling, punctuation and background information) this week and this may explain 161 less views this week. Either that or last week was a monster week. We have had 714 views this week (873 views last week) as of 12.00pm Friday the 30th of March. This total was still 68 views more than the next highest total (week 5).

Crazy Soccer.

GOAL! What a score! 3nill to the girls. At Stoke School some of the students play a sport called soccer.

 The aim of this game is to kick the round ball into the netted goal. The trick is you aren't aloud to touch the ball with your hands. I play it all the time at school. Soccer is tremendously, phenomenal. There are out of bounds that you are not aloud to cross over. In soccer there are 2 even teams. 1 person in each team has to guard their goal so that the other team doesn't score. The person who is guarding the goal is called a goalie.

 I have lost my soccer ultimate professional skills & now it is your time to shine. Now start scoring.

Food For Thought!!!

Yum food!!! GIVE ME FOOD!!! Oh sorry what am I saying!!! On 26th of March a person from Food For Thought came to tell us about what we should eat, what we shouldn't eat, what the food pyramid is, how much sugar drinks have in them and how to read the labels. Then on the 27th of March we went to the super market and we got a piece of paper that had the energy, the fat total, the sugars, the dietary fibre sodium and for the dairy products the calcium.

There are three groups on the food pyramid the what we eat most, what we eat sometimes and what eat least. In the food we eat most there are two parts the fruits and vegetables and breads and cereals. In the fruits and vegetables part the fruits and vegetables have to be fresh, frozen, dried, canned and juiced you should have 5+ a day and in the breads and cereals there is rice, pasta, crackers, popcorn but it has to be plain, bread and toast you should have 6 of them. In the food we eat sometimes there where also two parts meat and alternatives and milk and dairy products in the meat and alternatives there is fish you should have 1 to 2 of them and in the milk and dairy products there is yogurt, milk, cheese and vanilla ice cream but it has to be vanilla ice cream. In the food we eat least it is lollies, ice cream, chocolate and muffins.

The person brought some drinks they where coke, v, e2, power Ade, lemon lime and bitter, chocolate milk, juice, milk and water we had to guess how much sugar they had in them the one that had the most was the lemon lime and bitter, then it was v, then coke, then juice, then e2, then chocolate milk, then power Ade, then milk and guess what water doesn't have any sugar.

We had to learn how to read the labels on the back of the packets, the labels were energy, fat total, sugars, dietary fibre, sodium and for the dairy products the calcium. The energy had to be the lowest amount, the sugars should be less than 10g, the fat total should be less than 10g, the dietary fibre should be more than 76g and the sodium should be less than 400mg.

When we went to the super market we had a sheet of paper and we had a group of 4 or 5 childern and then we had to go around the super market and write down how much each label had.

Run Kiwi Run!!

Kiwis kiwis running down the street,
being chased by prediters ready to eat.

Lucky little kiwis they got away as quick as they can,
But then they noticed they had been taken by a weird man!
South Island Brown Kiwi
They got some sleep and had some worms,
And when they woke up they were in the forest with the ferns!!!

Music With My Family!

Music is a big part of my family. We all play instruments! My Dad plays the Guitar and Drums and so do I. My Mum is learning how to play the drums and she knows two or three chords on the guitar. Ashley my 7 year old sister has started to play the guitar. We have two ukuleles that my two year sister likes to think she has a guitar with only four strings. We have a drum kit so she loves to jump on it  and muck around. Last year the school had a music in the park day so me, my dad and some friends from school did three songs well  a band was setting up.

Brainatic Inventions

What was the first invetion you ask your self?Well it is impossible to say but it was probably a sort of tool,such as a stone knife our stone hammer.Early tools were made by chipping away at stone to produce sharp edges,and were they were made to cut meat and clean skins to make clothes.Over thousands of years ago people made speacil stone tools,such as axes and swaws to cut wood,to make bows and to make fire. This is only one and theres a whole heep of them.

Big wet night.
Like a two year old not getting what he wants.
Like a spewing kid as he was sick.
Wind.
Bubbling sounds coming from an angry tummy.
Swinging trees in my view.
Whooshing winds, so ruff it could pick me off my feet.
               What a mad storm!

Food For Thought

FOOD, GIVE ME! Na just joking, but that does look quite nice. Gosh, what am I saying. On the 27th of March Rm11 had a session of food for thought will a nutrition lady called Maraweaina. She came so we could learn to know what is good to eat & whats not good to eat.

 1st we talked about drinks that has the most sugar & cathien. 2cnd we did a food pyramid so we could put different groups into Eat least, Eat sometimes & Eat most. The different groups we did were Fruit & vegetables, Bread & cereals, Meat & allegation, then last of all it was Milk & dairy. 3rd we did an activity with the cardboard boxes from different types of cereals.

All we had to do was check up on the back of the box & search up sugars, fat total, sodium which is salt & Dilbert fibre. Then last of all we said good bye of coarse. We had a wonderful time with Maraweaina. On the 28th of March rm11 is going to the super market with Maraweaina to see if we can find 3 of the groups of food that were in the different food categories.

I loved doing food for thought. Now I know what to eat & not to eat.

Party & Dunedin

On Saturday the 24th of March, my mum was going to Dunedin. She wanted to go so she could see our Great Grandad because he was really sick. Mum, my brother Josh and I had to wake up at 6:00am because we had to walk to our Auntys so she could look after me and Josh.

We had to walk to our Auntys because we don't have a car. That's why me and Josh couldn't go to Dunedin with our mum. Walking to Auntys place took about an hour. After we got to Auntys it was round about 8:40 and Mum needed to walk to the airport to be there by 9:05 so she left just as we got there. Before she left we said goodbye and then she left.

When we went into the house it was really noisy. Our auntie has a one year old baby girl called Lily, a three year old boy toddler called Malachai, also a five year old boy called Cameron, who just turned five on the 25th of March, and a 6yr old girl called Akiana. WHAT A FULL HOUSE!

On that very day it was Cameron's birthday party at McDonalds. Me and Josh had to go in one of my auntys friends car because we couldn't fit in her van. When we were at McDonalds all the kids that were at the party went outside and played on the play ground. It took ages for the food to be served out. I ordered a happy meal that had 6 nuggets and a packet of chips. After every one had finished eating it was time to play games then open presents and then eat the cake. It was a funtastic day.

The only thing I don't like most of all is that ..... I miss my mum!

About Max.

Dark blond hair, quite tall and a bit skinny. My name is Max. I have a little brother with a lot of energy, a dad who lives in Amsterdam, and a mum. I like drawing in my 7 drawing books.

Me, my mum and little brother live together. My dad is trying to come and visit us. But he is still working with his brother. Some times I miss him but my little brother always cheers me up with his cute smile. My mum gets stressed some times and then I do some chores for her. My little brother has a lot of energy so he needs a bike ride every day. Not that thats a bad thing.

I love drawing! I draw vechiles like trucks tanks and cars. I also draw citys with buildings like air ports, houses and shops. I also draw people and soldiers.

 My family is great and I hope I get better at drawing.

1st fracture

On the 20th of march 2012 I had my 1st fracture at gym. It happened when I did a round off which is just doing a cartwheel but landing with 2 feet, into a back flip with hands & when I landed on the ground I landed with my finger bent backwards really fast. After I did it I couldn't feel anything except pain & pins & needles. It really hurt. The coaches thought it was dis-located & wanted to pull it back into place but I wouldn't let them because I was to scared that would accidentally ingure my finger. So instead they called my mum to pick me up & they suggested her to take me to the hospital just in case to be safe.

When me, mum & my brother joshua went to the hostpital I felt really nervouse because the lady at the counter looked really mean but she ended up to be really nice. After 10 long minutes my friend kayla from gym came to the same nelson hospital because she badly hurt the side of her arm from a roundoff flick flack just before me. The receptionist lady gave me a medical bracelet for when I got an x-ray for the x-ray lady to know who I am. Then a while after Kayla came our gym coach came to see if we were both o.k. After the receptionist lady gave me my medical bracelet she told us to follow the stripped red lines on the ground & it would lead us to the x-ray room. In the x-ray room the x-ray lady pulled a big machine overtop of my hand & took some shots. After we went back to the waiting room. Then after 5 minutes the doctor came out & told us to follow him. He led us to an office & gave us 1 of the x-ray pictures. He also told us that my finger wasn' t dis-located it was just fractured which means part of a bone in my finger was chipped off. Then he bandaged up my hand & taped it then he told me to keep it on for 2 weeks & not go to gym until it is May 2012. On the 23rd of March my finger started to bruise all over my finger & started to turn purple, green & black.It also started to swell up really huge. I hope it gets better.
      BE CAREFUL TO NOT FRACTURE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY!!!

Things I Like!!!

I like reading, drawing and going on trips around the world.

My favourite authors are Jacqueline Harvey who writes the Alice-Miranda series and Stacy Gregg who writes the Pony Secrets.

The Alice-Miranda series is about a little girl called Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones. She is 8 years old and goes to a boarding school called Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale Academy for proper young ladies. Before she went to the school the principal never talked to anyone but because Alice-Miranda is so nice she talked to the principal and then the school changed. The Pony Club Secrets is about horses, Issie and her two friends Kate and Stella. Issie, Kate and Stella go to Issie's Aunty's place as much as they can, they do heaps of things there. In one of the books they are filming a tv show and in another one Issie horse gets stolen and she goes half way around the world to find him.

I also like drawing even though I'm not very good I still like it. I like to draw people and animals, I've got an animal book at home where I learn how to draw them some of them are really hard to draw but at lest I try. I also like when I'm drawing for it to be perfect.

In June or July we are going to Australia we have already got the tickets and everything we just have to get the saving money. It will kind of be a birthday present for me and my sister. We are going with some friends of ours and are seeing my sisters friend who moved. I can't wait till we go.

So that is what I like. I like reading, drawing and going on trips around the world.

Short Posts by Email

Too many students and not nearly enough classroom computers is a particularly prickly problem! Room 11's solution is to use iPads to write their posts and email them to Teach. These are the test posts students have emailed to find out how well the solution works. Enjoy!

All About me - Letting Go By Sarah

I like horse riding, rollerblading,swimming like a mermaid movies and eating food.I first learnt to ride horses at my mums friends farm. The second horse I rode was called Nayland comet. I've only ridden them three times but I'm obsessed with them . I also like to roller blade. One time I went with my mum and we fell over in the middle.  I like to eat and my favourite foods are water melon, cookies, pizza and Chinese food. My favourite movies are the Narnia Series The Water Horse and Water Ship Down

The day I will never forget!

Whoa! What a blast! Every term Stoke school has a house competition when it is the whole of Stoke school come out & joins together as a big group. There are 4 different house groups & they are:Ngawhatu the Green house,Marsden the Blue house,Songer the Yellow house & Omaio the red house. I'm in the Green house. After we join together as a big group we go into our house colours. On a house day everyone dresses into their house colours so they can get points for their house group to win the magnificent gold trophy. My favourite part was when Ngawhatu did the scavenger hunt with Mr.Logan. It was fantastically sensational.


The reason why my favourite activity was the scavenger hunt with Mr.Logan was because Ngawhatu got to do a quiz and explore the school by counting the stiff wooden planks in the juniour kids playground in the tunnel. My favourite part of the scanveger hunt was when everyone was awnsering the tricky complicated questions.
The worst part was when me & Olivia went to the shade area where the school eats at lunch time to eat so we could count the levels but instead we got muddled up so we had to start all over again & again. House day was a great experiment & a racket with all the noise. I can't wait till the next awesome house day challenge so Ngawhatu can win. GO NGAWHATU!!!

The Builders are Here!!! (sarah)

   Here at Stoke School room 11 has moved to room 09 and room10 has moved to the assembly hall. We have moved to different places because we are expanding our class rooms. Our school care taker has taken down the fuzzy blue wall paper and the white boards and we found some old black boards behind them.

   It took a while to get our desks to fit in the class but we eventually got them to fit in. Now that the desks fit we can carry on with our work except every now and then there are big bangs in the wall from the builders chipping away on the walls. If their banging to loud the teacher stops talking and we wait for it to stop.

  Rm 10 is in the hall as I said and they are doing quite well in there. They have an art stand for their white board and tables for their computers and for walls they have big red blue and grey pin boards on stands. We still have assemblys but its a little bit cramed in because we have our Whanau come to watch us.

Our School Vision (Sarah)

Stoke schools vision is to dream for students to achieve. We use WERE STOKED to remember we have responsibilities. There are three groups of values -Effort and determination -Thinking about others -Learning and improving. Our vision is that students will show lots of energy. Students will be activeand particapate in activities in the class room. Kia tu tonu supports students to risk exellence and get on with it.The school wants students to achive their best.

  Effort and determination is about putting effort in every thing you do. Energy is getting into it and playing with a group of people. Kia tu tonu is important because we all need to focus on our work and get into it. Excellence is neat work and listening. Network is important because if your is neat the reader cannot Read your work very well. Opportunities is about just taking your chances and giving every thing a go!

  Thinking about others is looking after the older and younger kids and helping them around the school. We also need look after our self  by keeping away from the dangerous things around us.

   Learning and improving is the third group in our vision.The values of seeking , thinking and e-learning helps students to be learners and improvers. The values of seeking teaches students to be creative and inventive. Thinking is very important if you want to be a active learner. E-learning is all around us. We need to be smart with technology. We need to learn how to use new tech easily.

   Stoke Schools vision is to help students to improve. It is important that we use our school vision to look after our school, teachers and students.

Builders Invading!!!

GET OUT OF THEIR WAY! THE BUILDERS ARE HERE! QUICK RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
Today the builders came to Stoke School to destroy two of the best classrooms, in the school to make it bigger and to make a deck in front of the senior classrooms 10 and 11. They will be here for six long weeks or more. They have put bight orange fences up so that we don't go in there to keep us safe, they have started taking out the wall in room 11, on the rest of the walls they are putting fire proof stuff. We can here banging from two classes away. They are making the classes go out to our cloak bays. Our school is so big now we have to have another classroom so Miss Norris is going to go in to room 9 and Mrs Meeks is going to be another new entrance class in room 4, we now have 220 children in the school now. The builders are going to do rooms 8, 9, 10 and 11. The teachers have shut all the doors in the coridoor so us students can't get in their way of their private, destuctive building.

What a sporty day!!!

The Nelson Weet-Bix Triathlon was held on the 4th of March, in NewZealand.The Weet-Bix Triathlon is a special event which is placed at Tahunanui beach on the south island in NewZealand once in every year. In the Weet-Bix Triathlon you have to swim,bike and run. The Weet-Bix Triathlon is for the age from 7 to 15. 1st you have to swim then you have to bike then run. In the Weet-Bix Triathlon  you either go individual or go with a partner. The cost is $38 if you sign up at home & the cost is $35 if you register up at your school. I signed up at school because it was cheaper. I also teamed up with my friend Toria because I didn't have a bike & she did. I was the one who was swimming. She was the one who was biking & we both ran to the finish line. When I was about to start I was starting to feel nervous and shaky because it was my first time. The swimming was really tough because I kept getting salt in my face, but eventually I made it through. Then I went to tag Toria & then she sped off as fast as the wind blowing past my window. It felt nice. When she came back to me & tagged me I ran 1.5k to the corner, through all the zigzagged cones to meet her so we could run to the finish line so we could both get a gold medal,photo & a drink bottle each. Our time we got for the whole event was 9 minutes & 46 seconds. We were tremendously over joed & had a blast of fun!!!

Foot Ball Is Awsome

Glory! Victory! The great game of football is on! Pass, pass, dribble, pass shoot score!!! What a goal! We won the world cup! The game is . over! If you do not know how to play this spectacular game then this is  what you do. Let's talk about adult foot ball. Theres a huge rectangular grass pitch. At each end there is a goal about 6 meters wide and 2 meters high. Were talking about adult adult football right? Cool. For adults there are 11 players on the pitch. Two strikers who are at the front of the pitch and try to get the ball in the goal without using there hands. In each goal there is a keeper that can use his hands and is trying to stop the other team from scoring. Also there are 3 defenders who try and help the keeper to stop the other team from scoring without using there hands. There are also 5 midfeilders. 1 centre, left mid and right mid, and left wing and right wing.
 Now lets talk about facts. First, foot ball is the most popular sport in the world and played by almost every country in the world. The last world cup was played in South Africa and was won by Spain. Foot ball world cups started all the way back in about 1940 and is still played today every 4 years.  The best team in the world is Brazil, they have won the world cup 5 times! The second best team is Spain because they won the last world cup. Italy are doing well as well they have won it 4 times. 1 behind Brazil.

 New Zealands team are cald the All Whites. they are not doing to well but got into last world cup and did not lose a match. Yes that sounds like they won or something but what actually happened is that they drew every match. Even Spain lost. They lost against Switserland in the group matches. Other wise they won every other match. New Zealand won against Bahrain to get into the world cup. It was such a close match and Bahrain even missed a penalty that could have made them in the lead because New Zealand only scored one goal and it was a very good one. A header, that came in from a corner.


  Foot ball. My totall favourite sport, and it's a great sport too. Even though we are not such a good soccer country. i'm proud to be in this land. I love the All Whites and I love my foot ball.

Progress Report - Week 5

Tranquil and a picture of serenity on the surface while my little webbed feet churn  the water furiously below. I have joined the daffy duck fraternity. In other words, it has been a totally full on week. Moving rooms so that our classroom can be renovated did not help my stress levels at all either. However, the students and I have come to the end of another week and 11Online continues to tick over.

My beautiful assistant has just confirmed the figures and our audience continues to grow. As of 12.00pm Friday 16 March 11Online/2012 had been viewed 2456 times in total. There were 646 views for the week (583 views last week). My beautiful assistant hasn't collated individual student's viewer numbers yet but the report is due out in the last week of school (the day before Easter Friday).

Last week I mentioned that our biggest overseas audience was Russia. Our ICT mentor Mr Thompson suggested that the fact that our city, Nelson, hosted the Russian rugby team during the World Cup last year might have something to do with our Russian viewer numbers. Just in case he has hit the nail on the head I'd like to give a shout out to our second biggest overseas audience, the good ol' U.S.A. We hosted their World Cup game against Italy and enjoyed both their rugby and the team itself as our guests.

Moving to room9.

.

 Klonk! Klank! Right now were moving all the things in room11 to room9. I'm a photographa and it's my jod to take photos of what were doing. Most of us are moving things like desks, the white board, shelvs and other stuff. Why are we doing this? Well it's because we are getting room11 built into a bigger class room and were moving every thing to day

 Mr Mcalpine is in here and taking down the white boards and HOLY! Theres a old black board sitting on the wall. And It's still got writing on it. It's turned green with age aswell. It looked as if it was 2 hundred years old. We thought that we reconised some of the names that were on the board. Also we thought we saw some of our old brothers and sisters on there but then we realised that it was way to old for them to be on there.
.

 Now Mr Mcalpine is taking down the wall papering and you should have seen all the cracks and holes in the wall. It looked as if it had been in world war one and had  suffered the most damage well maybe thats an egageration but any way. You could see Mr Micherners head in one huge hole. Now this was exciting. They put the carpet like wall papering on the floor and it was fun to play and run on. It was so fun and I can't wait till we get back to are bigger and better class room.                                          

Wheel, wheel, wheel. Were moving things down the hall way. Thump! We just banged into the bottom of the stairs. We need to wait for the teachers. Then Mr Baker, a helper in room 10 came out and asked friendly. ''Can I help you?'' ''We are just waiting for the teachers'' I said. '' Nah, come on you gise grab a corner each and I will grab this side he said to me and Lilee who was helping me with the big White board. 3, 2, 1, lift. Up one stair, up two stairs, up three stairs and up the last stair. Mr Baker goes back to his class room. How did you lift that? said two of our class mates. Mr Baker helped us we said back. Now we have to sought every thing out in our new class room wich takes alot of time.


It's very cramped here in room 9 but I love being back in my old class room.
