Names of people in my group:
Aneisha

Your task is to design a sign that will clearly assist in eliminating a problem within our school.
- Make sure you are clear what the task is.
- Can you identify the key words in this task (highlight them and discuss it with a buddy)
Thinking about signs and signage (Make a list of all the signs you have seen ….. and the purpose of the sign )
Brainstorm some Ideas/ problems that we have around our school environment.
*Littering
*Gum
*Running
*Drama’s
*Rumours
ISSUE CHOICE AND JUSTIFICATION
You need to think and expand on your answers, one sentence is not sufficient.
What is your issue in our school? I think that a big problem we have around the school is littering.Our school is sometimes very messy and has rubbish littered on the fields and courts and Mr Malloy has to pick it up.
Who does it affect?
Mr Malloy, students, teachers
Why is it happening in our school?
Because people walk and eat, people are careless
When does it happen?
Before/after school, lunch time, morning tea
Where is it happening?

This term our topic is about bigger,better, faster, stronger.In our immersion assembly the teacher’s put on a show, the sad thing is, we didn’t get to see it. We all went to Tamaki tech. I went from woodwork to graphics. We all walked back at morning tea, to find kids running around inside the street. It was so hard finding my bag, it was so out of control.
Weeks past and the whole year7/8 students found a programme, that involved knowledge and sports. It was called Taoga time. There was different teachers at every activity, I went sports, and music, next term I wonder what I will be in, I hope it’s something good. Well to tell you the truth there all good.People are getting more information about our topic so teachers say, manly they are getting there information from our Taoga time groups.Our Taoga groups have inspired us more then we learn in our separate classes. We split up into groups that stay the same throughout the year.

science roadshow
It was nearly the end of a beautiful nice sunny afternoon, when Mrs lagitupu we were going to Tamaki College.As I mentioned why.She said in a nice calmly voice " we are going to the science road show". I grabbed my lunch and started to eat. In a excited voice i ran out of the street, to asked my friends what happened when they went down to Tamaki College.They said " it was cool i bet you can't wait to go". A little while later it was time to go.Reluctantly we walked down to Tamaki College.
As we walk in the door to see all of those fascinating experiments, we sat in row's on the chairs.The presenters were talking to another group of kids about our age. There school was called st Heller's and they were almost finished with there session.
As they walked out of our the room the presenters were introducing themselves to us.After that the tutor's introduced themselves they showed us how Oxygen, fuel, and heat makes fire. All the experiments they showed were pretty awesome. We learned how much body heat is in our body's.In our body's the temperature is about 37oc.
Once we learned as much as they told they let us go find out more information. So off we went! We split up into our groups to find out more information we could find. The groups were not working for our school.We all just walked around and forgot about the groups. I tried to stick with my group and help them, but it didn't work. I went off on my own watching everyone discuss about what they had found.
I found some interesting experiments that were left on there own until i found out what they were about. Some people had these cards that had these questions on it. Those questions were for the people who new the answer, and they would win a prize at the end of the day. There was this one that you had to pull the handle and push it down and the ball would come up.
After a while all of us would go back to our seats. Then the tutor's would discuss what we found out. Some people reluctantly still walked back to their seats. When they pronounced the winners we all walked reluctantly back to school.

Arumentative writing.
If a earthquake hit Auckland, three times, would you move to another province or town?
If the earthquake was as bad and all the buildings, were crashing down to the ground of course you would move. If the earthquake was just little and just shaking the buildings and the gravel was just falling a little, I would not move. If there was another earthquake after another I would move to another city or to a near town. Then I would move back to the city I came from, after a while And all the earthquake’s were probably gone. Then we would probably walk down the road Reluctantly enjoying our walk with no shaking and gravel falling. If the earthquakes kept coming 1 after another for the rest of the week, or month I would move for for a couple of weeks, until the earthquake’s stop.
