Name Tags : Team Tui

This Term Team Tui Created name tags! We decorated our name tags with different colors and patterns or even with things we like. I decorated the background with different colored stripes and made the N in my name look like one of my favourite games called Minecraft. Then I made the [C] in my name look like a chess board because I really enjoy chess. For my the [E] in my name I added the city I live close to  and also added a pokemon ball because it is one of my favourite anime. The [L] and the [A] In my name has stick man figures because I like animating stick figures.

Team – Tui Expo

Today we celebrated the year 8’s and the fundraising for the year 8 jerseys! First we had a year 8 leaving and memory assembly where we look back at all the memories we shared with the leaving year 8’s. There was speeches about the Glen Taylor staff and a cool video of funny memories!

Next was the delicious $2 sausage sizzle, $2 and a $5 glasses shop to fundraise for the year 8 leaving jerseys for the end of the year. The food was very yummy. Not only that we had the Team Tui expo where Team – Tui presented the work they have been working on for nearly the entire term.

Summer Learning Journey kick start activity !

Cocobot. Originated from Cook – Island and was sent to a scientific for research and testing. But.. A fatal error occured in the computers and the Coconut rampaged and consumed everything around it including computers that turned the Coconut into a robot and power multidimensional artifacts that can cause mass chaos.

Cyber – Smart

For Cyber – Smart Team Tui learnt about quality blog posts. What we did was we went into our blogs to try find a “quality” blog post and take a screen shot. We took a screen shot because we need a picture of a blog post to put inside our cyber – smart /slides. This task was fun and interesting! Maybe you can try it out!

Team – Tui writing

Voices ricocheted off the heavy cement walls, covered in sad dim light produced by the nearly dead light bulb. Sam counted the muffled explosions above the bunker. Majority of the group pondered around aimlessly like riptides in an ocean. Insanity creeped up like lions stalking its prey while the track of time ran wild. They could only hide from the rapid and destructive chaos that thundered and across the city. The loud and murderous intent of the enemy was shown fiercely. Concerned and anxious about their family, everyone worried severely

For our writing session we are practising on our vocabulary! We chose an area to learn in and that will be our main focus for this week. Right now we’re learning to create a visual image using words without telling the view directly what the situation is. Try guess mine!

 

Team Tui Maths : Probability

Today Team – Tui did maths in the hall! It was extremely fun. We started of by playing a game named Blocko! The point of the game was to move all the blocks given of a piece of paper. How to play :

There will be 11 columns ranging from 2 – 12, than you’ll need to dice and 11 blocks. Arrange the blocks however you want, you can put multiple in a column or leave some columns blank. Once the dice are rolled, whatever number was rolled is the column you would subtract a block from. Whoever lost all blocks won a lolly!

 

Next there were 3 games. Greedy Pig, Cards and bottle flip. Basically we kept count on how many successful attempts. Greedy pig : Roll a dice and add all numbers until you get up to 50 or more (Repeat rolling the dice until you get to 50+. All numbers can be added but if 1 is rolled restart your progress.)

 

Cards : You’ll be given’ objectives. Complete them and move onto the next until you finish.

Bottle Flip : You get ten tries record the bottle flips that land on the bottom with the cap facing up / bottle facing / standing up. Tick how many you can land and how many you failed.
