I enjoyed term three because i have completed alot of work and i have achieved alot of goals. And i also enjoyed having the relieving teachers and espicially Miss Edwards and Miss Thompson. I also enjoyed spending some time with my mates because there cool mates. And i have only missed one day off school. Every day at this school i have made every day count. Although i am still in my same reading and maths groups i still achieved all the goals that i have set for myself. Even though we do least p.e this term has still been awesome. We sometimes play games with room 6. But the thing that i foound the hardest was fracions, but im starting to get the hang of it. I an getting better every day and every secound. I also wrote a narrative/story and posted it on my blog for eveyone to see. This term has been cool as, and i made every moment count.

Induction and transtion

Issue: we have a number of student’s feelings unsafe about S.a.m.s because parents think that we would set a bad example for little children like New Year 7 and 8.

Minor:
• How can we make our sams students participate in sams activities?
• Why do parents feel unsafe with letting their children in role at sams?
• What should we do to make parents and there children feel welcome to sams?
• What could sams do to make them safe?
• How could we make there parents feel more comfortable about bringing there student to saint Andrews?
• Could we help them to feel comfortable by coming to there school?
• How could primary kids be involed with older students?
• How could we make parents be involed in the situation at sams?
• How could the induction be?
• How could we help the community get involed with our school

Big Question:
How can we make parents and new student feel welcome and safe at sams.

you know thatyou should think twice about downloading your personal information, if other people see your personal information who knows what they would do with it. they could sell your ID and they could make hundreds. they can even find your address and find your house, or they can do worse. so think twice before you download your personal information.

In room 5 we have been learning about cyber safety, and im going to tell you about cyber bullying. i know that most of you know what cyber bullying is and for those who dont know then i will tell you. cyber bullying is when you get bullied by getting texts or email. And it can sometimes get spreaded around that school or even the town. And then once you find out. you start getting sad. and you wont feel like going to school. and the best thing to do is tell and adult, techer or your patents.

It was a hot and sunny say, the right day to go to the beach. so mum an i both hopped in the car and speed off to the beach. once we got there, the sand was as hot as lava, and the day was as hot as the sand. so i ran a nd jumped in to the water which felt like i had stepped out of lava and into ice cold water. i was swimming while mum was relaxing on the beach. she was a bear that couldnt wak up. i was still swimming but it was getting cold. so i got out and enjoyed the rest of the day.
