Photos for autobiographies

We will be doing autobiographies in class. You need to get photos of yourself ( scan them or take photos of your photos) so you have digital copies. You will need a photo of yourself as a baby, as a toddler, when you started school, a recent photo ( maybe within the last year) and any other photos that have been taken that are memorable or have significance for you.


We will be linking your writing to these photos and expanding on ideas.

The photos can be uploaded on your phone, on a memory stick or card, or the can be attached to an email on google docs, or however you want to access them. If you need help with this, just bring your photos to school and we can help you.



TECHNOLOGY




Our usual technology day will be Wednesday. However in week one, we are going on Tuesday as Waitangi day is on Wednesday. Room 23 will be going to Raumati technology centre with Room 19 and we go for the first session.

So you need to be at school by 8.30 as we go to catch the bus on Donovan Road at 8.40am.

You have a copy of the technology letter sent to you on your google docs account.

You will also be given a hard copy at school to give to your parents.



So be at school on Tuesday 5th February by 8.30.



Fitness

YOU WILL BE TAKING THE CLASS FOR FITNESS

Be thinking about who you want to have as your partner for taking fitness lessons with the class and what lesson you want to take. We will put your names on the day and week you will be taking the lesson on the fitness timetable in the classroom. The expectations for taking fitness are as follows.


You and your partner need to be organised – book equipment needed from the PE shed.

Know how to explain the activity to the class. Prepare anything you need in advance.

Write your activity on the fitness timetable sheet . ( will be on the classroom door)

The activity is fitness. It needs to make people puff ( cardio vascular fitness). It cannot be a game where lots of people are sitting waiting for a turn.

You cannot do the same thing that someone else has done during that week.

The activity should take approximately 10 -20 minutes.

Writing a Biography

Hi Everyone


The steps to complete a biography are on this website. You can complete it with a partner so that you can share the research. You can do it on your own if you prefer.
