My time at Myross Bush School

My time at Myross Bush School has been amazing.  Every time I walk into a classroom it brings back memories.  I can remember all my old teachers that have stayed at this school and 2 that haven't but one is coming back next year.  Mrs Ford in room 1 she was great also Mrs Carr in room 3 and 6 she was great too,  Mrs Kahukaura in room 4  she was awesome so was Miss Stewart in room 7 and also Mrs Hughes she was super and also Mr Herring. they were all great teachers Mr Herring and Mrs Hughes let me on their ipod touch and iphone.  Mr Herring is my present teacher.  He is awesome. Ever since room 1 I have made a tonne of friends.  One of them is Travis McKenzie.  I have known him since room 1 and has also been one of my best friends.  In room 3 I met Tim, Tim has also been one of my best friends.  A special thank you to Mrs Tressider and Mrs Blackmore for doing all that hard work in the office you have helped me through school also.  Who can forget Mr Lovelock?  He has been an awesome principal for getting us all the great technology and for doing up the classrooms. Since I've been at this school I have made tonnes of friends. One of my my most closes friends has been Benjamin he has helped me with lots of computer stuff. Myross Bush School has been awesome for the 6 years that I have been here Thanks!!!!

Reflection Post week 6

On Monday 24th the yr 6s went to camp.  We had alot of fun at camp especially all the activites my personal  favourite was abseileing it was one of the best activites next to rafting.  I really enjoyed camp and at my next camp I am going to be a little more careful and also help out with everything.

Camp reflection post

On Monday the 21st the year 6s went to Borland Lodge for camp.  The best thing about camp is all the activities, they were all heart pumping.  The only negative thing about camp was a scar on my leg.  If I go on camp next year, I am going to enjoy myself and be a little more careful.  My advice for next year's campers is, don't be afraid to try something new and try to achieve your smart goal.

Reflective learing post learning

For the arts I am doing the art of music in miss Stewarts class. We are working on a school song in my group is Benjamin, Campbell and I.  the purpose of making a school song is to show our school values through a song. The thing we need to do next is to put some lyrics to our song and that is what I am learning about for the arts.  

G.E news (pet day)

On the 7th of November Myross Bush had their annual Pet day.  there were thousnds of people there lots of students brought pets like Dogs, lambs, cats, hens, mice, birds, horses and even a goat!

Children were making the most of all the stalls like the kids corner and all the other stalls. Fizzy was very popular and by lunch time everyone wanted something to eat so people started making burgers and sausage sizzles Pet day was a complete success!  

Reflective learning post

Today we were learning to speak in front of large crowds Mr Herring would put a picture up on the board and we have to speak about it this is some of the criteria we have to use.

. Know what to say in advance
. Act friendly
. Be confident
. Speak clearly and calmly
. Speak fluently and smoothly with no large pauses

My goal is to speak fluently and smoothly with no large pauses and that's what I am going to work on.

Why everyone should have a laptop

I think everyone should have a laptop it would make life at school a lot easier and this is why.

First of all it is easy to accessible to fit in a tote tray. Children could pick their own laptops (but their parents could pay). It would also have your own login and everything. I went round and asked everyone in room 8 what would you prefer Books and stationary or a laptop. 16 wanted a laptop and 5 said books and stationary.

Secondly it would be better for the environment because books are made out of paper and paper is made out of trees but with laptops homework , writing, reading could be emailed to us we could be sent a link or website.

Thirdly there will be no more "I've lost my book" or "I've lost my pencil or pen". Students will always ready for a maths test or spelling test this is what Travis had to say about having laptops at school "they are really good to have but they cost a little to much

Last of all there will be no more waiting for a computer that means when we have deadlines on the computer we could get them done really fast it would make tasks and dead lines a lot easier.

And that is why I strongly believe that all Myross bush students should have a laptop.

creative classy classrooms

Half way through Term 3 our classrooms started being redecorated.  Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (Room 8 didn't get redecorated because it is already quite new).  Anyway our classrooms were being redecorated because they haven't been done up for ages.

After all the classrooms had been finished all the students and teachers could move back in.  The classrooms are looking pretty awesome in my opinion.  Mr Lovelock made a really good decision  to get the classrooms redecorated.  Believe it or not even the staff rooms being done up I think that's going to look pretty awesome just like the classrooms.

Musical inquiry

We have been doing an inquiry on the arts.  Dance, Music, Drama and art of course.  So far we have been through dancing and we are doing music.  I really enjoy music I play a lot of instruments like Guitar, Violin, Recorder and piano.  Mrs Wilcox's got us to go into itunes and listen to a few songs on the radio. We then wrote down the first sentence and got two musical instruments and had to make a song out of it. It was really fun.  one day I hope to make my own song and I hope to play the drums.

Reflection week 7

We are learning to do reflections on things we did. like I did mine on my animation and we had to do it with these steps:

What (what did you do)   I learnt how to make an animation based on maniginge impulsivity I also learnt how to export it to imove and how to ad sound to it.


So what ( what was the purpose)  The purpose of doing this was to use our safety town wisely and to develop skills in imove and it also tests you patients a little bit.


Now what (what next)  get the best ideas that I could think of and stop changing the story boardbut still use 1 photo every shot.

And that is what I did for my self reflection.

Interactive drumming

On the 8th of september 2011 our school went to the Myross Bush hall room 7 and 8 were there first.  when we got there there was a van full of african drums i was one of the lucky people that got to put the drums in the Myross Bush hall they were quite heavy we had to take four at a time.  when we had set out about 170 drums we got room 7 and 8 to come in and the session started we did tones of different rythms we also sang a song that goes like:




    I love drums 
    I love drums 
    I love drums drums drums drums drums!
 

 I  thought it was really fun!

My self reflection

In the last couple of days we have been learning how to hit a ball we have been doing hockey and I think I have developed really good hitting skills from this put two hands on the hockey stick and don't take it off the ground to hit don't lift it off the ground when you hit it.

My animation

Here is the animation that Benjamin, Jack and I made:

Ipod touch vs psp

Hi my name is Robbie and also my friend Jack, We were walking down to Harvey Normans I had enough money to buy an ipod touch or a psp?  When I was walking I asked Jack ‘what should I get an ipod touch or a psp’ he said ‘I don’t know’ then I wondered hmm?  When we got to Harvey Normans there were people every where it was like ants in an ant hill.  Anyway we got past the furniture and all the people and got to the technology.  Jack wanted to have a look at the playstations and Xboxes and I went straight to the Apple stuff.  Man it was like an apple wonder land then I said to myself "now for the ipod touches!"  

By the time I got there the ipod touches had nearly been sold out everyone wanted the brand new ipod touch. When I looked in the shelf there was only 1 more left I ran to that shelf and grabbed that ipod touch 4^th generation. then I wandered over to the psp’s and took one of those I only had enough money for one I stood there and thought what is better an ipod touch or a psp  it took me about 5 minutes then I decided what one I should get it was an… Ipod touch!  So I went excitedly to the counter and bought it.  When Jack and I opened the box there it was an ipod touch it was awesome!

Hopes and Dreams

When i am older I want to work for Apple and design new Apple gadgets and try to get myself a macbookpro an Ipod touch or an Ipad! Another fact about me is that I'm a massive lego freak! I like to design things. i want to get a really good job when I'm older i want to get really good job that's why i try my hardest at school. If I could spend most of my time learning about one thing it would be math. I find math slightly hard but i'll keep trying. Now spelling is probably my best subjectat school and i very much enjoy it but I really need to try hard in matheven though I don't enjoy it as much as spelling I really need to learn it.

Emotional Safety

The world can be a dangerous place. People can be really mean to you especially at High School people bully you.

There is different types of bullying emotional bullying and physical bullying but I'm just going to focus on emotional bullying.

One way to keep you safe from emotional bullying is to either change the topic, make a joke, get a friend to back you up, or change the place where it is happening (just move in sight of a adult).

If you are getting emotional bullied try these strategies out they might just work.
