2013

I have really enjoied 2013 and im really gonna miss my friends especially Pixie :) I have some realy special memories at Te Pahu. I have also learnt not to be gullible unlike some people 

Melted Crayon Art

Room7 did melting crayon art..... We got a choice on what to do it on and me and pixie chose to do a heart.. We had to cut out a heart and and stick it on to our canvas so the melted crayon wouldnt go thorugh.... Then we had to stick the crayons onto the canvas. Finally we got to the melting stage.. We got a hair dryer instead of a heat gun because we thought a hesat gun does a fast job so we chose a hair dryer... Pixie didnt want to mess it up so she got me to do the melting. After we melted it we carefully took the paper heart away... All of the melted crayon had melted under the paper and there was only half a heart. :) At first we didnt really like it but then we didnt mind it.

Energy And Sound

This term our WALT is all about sound and energy. we have been learning what sound is and how it travels, the conservation of energy and what it is and the characteristics of sound. We have looked at lots of videos and that really helped me understand more about energy and sound. We did an experiment about the high pitch and the low pitch of a stereo, We got up to 20(Hz) and no one could hear it and we also had to guess witch pitch Mr. Marquand had truned up or down. Looking at videos and doing experiments has really helped me to understand all about sound and how i travels. I had a question, it was can heat change into a diferent form but then i thougght about it and i thought if it cooled down it changed into clod air, but i was wondering if it could change into anything else. I was really proud on how much new things I learnt.

Athletics

On Wednesday 30th October 2013 Te Pahu School and Paterangi had Athletics at Te Pahu School. 

There were 6 events; long jump, high jump, discuss, shot put, hurdles and Sprints. 

There were hotdogs, juices and much more food and drinks for sale thanks to the P.T.A. 

Taylor Begovich one of the Te Pahu students said," I really enjoied the day and I was surprised in how high I got in high jump". 

Overall the thing I enjoied te most was getting to know mikaela from Paterangi better. Next time I would like to controll my nerves in high jump. 

My Favourite activity was sprints because I came 1st in all of my races. I also reckon that I could've jumped better in long jump. 

I thought the day was fun and we all really enjoied it.

Clearing And Planting Day

On Fiday week 1 of term 4 Room 7 and pirongias yr 7 & 8 sudents went up to the Pirongia Forest Park Lodge to help plant and clear for the outdoor classroom. The outdoor classroom is a place where kate and teachers can help students and other people learn more about our enviroment and help protect native specis. We did this so the outdoor classroom is surrounded by native bush so its a good place to learn. Pixie Cameron said ," I felt good helping out the enviroment but it was really hard. Kayla Moulder-Aitken also said," We all had so much fun but the funniest part was when Mr Marquand rolled down the hill". Everyone worked hard and at the end of the day everyone was tired but PROUD OF HOW THEY HELPED.
