In the past 2-3 weeks we have been doing PrEP, which if you didn't know, is a business event where our whole school starts ventures (Business Groups) or signs up to be in something like the PrEP Police force, the Warehouse, the Advertising agency ect. Today at Assembly I received an award for my service in the Advertising agency.
As you may have seen from my previous post I have started a new topic around space. For the second task we had to complete a google drawing about what astronauts need/take to space. Here is mine.
This week we started a new literacy topic which was either space or NZ disasters. I have chosen to do Space, for the first task we had to complete a planet report about a planet of our choice, I have chosen Mercury because it is the smallest and closest to the sun.
This week our Principal asked us to make a short film about overcoming a task that is challenging or that you have never done before. Emil, Jacob, Toby and I decided to make a film about going up the 'Big Fort' at our school (I have actually been up there before). Here is the video.
For the past couple weeks we have been doing reading tasks around Moa's extinction and facts about them. One of the tasks was a create task, for this we had to choose another extinct animal and write some facts about it and how it got extinct. I chose to do my one on the Haast Eagle mostly because it was the predator of the Moas. Here is the link to my create task.
This week we started a new reading topic around Moas and their extinction and so on. We have 4 tasks (plus a create task) that we had to complete before the end of the week. I found these tasks reasonably easy because they didn't take much time to do. Here are the links to the tasks.
This term Grey Main are going to have our annual PrEP (Primary Enterprise Program) which is similar to a market. We have small market where ventures can choose to make some products for that and the big market which is the same but all ventures have to enter some sort of item. This year's theme is Christmas, so we can make gifts, ornaments and so on. There are also jobs outside the classroom, for example, the PrEP Police, the Advertising Agency, the bank, the Warehouse and also people who help the younger learners with their ventures. I have decided to apply for the Police (Yr 8's only) and the Advertising Agency.
