Back to school for term 4

We are back at school for the final term and this term is going to be very busy we have PAT tests from Monday week 3 of term 4. And once after Labour weekend we must wear hats or we will have to go into the hall. And we have to have water at school mainly because we work with computers in our room and we get dehydrated. I always bring my drink bottle or I get headaches and can't concentrate. Athletics is also coming up in week 6 and there is so many activities I enjoy such as sprints, long jump, high jump, shot put but I do not enjoy discus as much as the others. Another thing happening this term is seminars this is compulsory so you have to do them. I am doing hockey for my seminar because I am very passionate about hockey. year 8s have to do careers year 7 get to do something they are good at, or just something they like.We are also continuing Enrichment from term 3 year 7 have Enrichment every Thursday period 3 and 4 Enrichment is when you go to another class to learn something such as Spanish.

Touch typing test

Today I did a touch typing test I have not done it in quite a while so my results weren't as good as the could have been. my rate (words per minute) was 2 witch wasn't that good and the amount of characters was 7. number of mistakes was 78 because my caps lock was on. My success percentage was 0% I was not very happy with these results maybe if my caps lock wasn't on I may have done better but I think I still need to practice

I movie

We created i movies for the school tv news but they were just options and lots of people would have made them so the chances of my i movie is very slim but there were lots of good i movies from my class and the one i made was pretty good well at least that's what i think. I made my i movie with Remi a boy in my class i had my own one but i lost it and don't know where it saved so i helped Remi make his.

Click on this link to view my map.

We have been working on maps in the multimedia room for ict we had to add information about how we got to different places and we were going to list how much money we spent but we did not get time to now we are working on a bro shore with five different places to go.

Exposition

Mmmm chocolate
I’m sure your parents have always told you that chocolate is bad for you. Well I’m here to tell you differently
Chocolate has been known as the food of the gods for centuries. Chocolate was also once used for trade and in some places was even used as money for trading and buying things
Chocolate comes from the cocoa bean which is the fruit of the of the cacao tree. So you may think it is a fruit but it is in fact classified as a vegetable. And you know that we need to eat our vegetables…. 5 servings a day! Imagine that in chocolate. So when you get caught eating chocolate you can let your parents know that your just eating your veges!
Is chocolate really good for you ? yes!
Studies have shown that the ingredients in dark chocolate can boost your brain power for up to 2 to 3 hours. So chocolate can increase your performance and alertness for short periods. So our teachers should let us repower our brains by eat eating chocolate during the day- might keep us kids on task and paying attention!!
Chocolate has also been shown to lower the risks of strokes and also ease emotional stress. So if your felling stressed at school- homework’s due, doing tests – chocolate could be the answer.
Adults might say that chocolate is loaded with fat, sugar and caffeine. But the fat contained in dark chocolate actually contains 75% of good fat that has acids that help reduce cholesterol levels and only 25% is the bad kind of fat. So I argue that the good fat cancels out the bad fat- that’s got to be good , right ? remember it’s a vegetable!
What about the sugar? Well the darker the chocolate the less sugar it contains and dark chocolate has only the same amount of sugar as a glass of juice or a yoghurt- not bad at all!
And the caffeine in chocolate?? Well it’s only half what you find in a can of coke. Studies have also shown that having some caffeine everyday might actually be good for you!!
So chocolate has shown that it can be good for you- but remember too much of anything, including vegetables, can be bad for you
Mmmmm chocolate- food of the kids, I mean, gods!
