Careers 2018

know basic multiplication and division facts

I'm doing well at my basic facts because there was 20 questions to answer and I got 18/20 twice.
I need to practice doing more division because I still find it tricky.

Groupings to 1000

I enjoy using the strategy
 to work out how many more to 1000 because I like doing things that I understand.

when i first learnt this I
 thought it was going to be hard but its just like groupings to 100 but it got tricky when I did the last one because it was a take away.


I need to practise doing
the take away ones and slow down to make sure I have the right answer

Week 3 reflection

This week Constable Tony came to our class. He is a north Canterbury detective he showed us how to take a fingerprint it looked cool.

He is showing us a footprint of a boot and he is also showing  a picture of the boot that made it .

In this photo he is using a special brush to find a hand print that he put on the wind and when he brushed over it you could see it from the back of the class.

In this picture he is taking the finger prints of the window.

Detective Writing

Date  Monday 30th 2018

Time  1 35

Location  Kaiapoi North School Tiwai creative cave

Name Detective Wilson


I entered the crime seen at 1 35 I saw yellow tape every where.I was shocked at what I saw.The class fish were missing I have to solve this mystery.


In the crime seen I saw many different ways to find the criminal like finger prints.then is found two drink bottles and that means two criminals because who would have two drink bottles. one was blue the other was red.On the the table there was a hand print made from pant on a piece of paper there was also two more hand prints made of mud on the wall next to our instergram posts.There was broken glass next to where the fish tank was and some plaice plants where there to.I wonder who did this.I found a note on the floor saying ha ha pay back for for annoying me. It must be someone who is jealous.


I'm not really sure who it could be but all I really know is that it could be to people because of the drink bottles.I have not got any evidence yet but I think It will  be a totara teacher.I will continue to try to find the thief.

Week 1 Reflection

This week when I came to school on Monday and saw yellow tape every where in the creative cave.Some one had been there in the holidays and took the fish there was a bit of glass and plastic plants where the fish tank was. There was lots of evidence to work out who did it. In class we started to look at the different types of finger prints and we put one of our fingers on a ink pad and put our finer on a billion and blue it up. The finer print got bigger and bigger.

This week I have been proud of my self because I have found out what I'm doing for Passion projects and I have a partner that wants to do the same thing.

Jacks camp reflection

WAINUI CAMP, 2018

What is your best memory of Tōtara camp?

-my best memory is when we did ab sailing it looked so easy when Blake went to the top
but when i tried getting to the top i got really close to the top and there was a big knot in
the tree so it was stuck so i straitened my legs and got to the top and abseiled down.

What challenged you on camp and how did you get through this challenge?

-the abseiling was a challenge because of the knot in the tree.another thing that challenged
me was the archery because I could not hit the middle of the target and the arrow keepet
fulling of the bow.

How did you show Active Listening on camp and why was it important?

it is impotent to show active listening on camp because when we did the search and rescue the kids had to find the parents. we had a radio and we could have done something to the radio that could make it disconnect and wondered in the rung direction.

Letter to Mr hipkins

Dear Mr Hipkins

I am a year 7 student at kaiapoi north school and my name is Jack.I love our new classrooms they are a great space to learn in.But there is one problem there is no air conditioners.

I like the way you let everyone share their ideas and opinions and you also love people to learn.

Opening the doors is the only way to keep the class cool.But the and flys and bugs come in and distract us from our work also when it is windy things fall off the walls.Outside we have our lunch boxes and it is very hot and it caused things to melt and go yucky.

Most of our class find it hard to concentrate with the heat and the bugs.Especially when we come in from a hot and sweaty lunch time.

People in our class could lash out at each other and get mad because of the heat.That could make everyone mad because we will have to stay in for time it is annoying for a lot of people if they didn’t do it.

A simple air conditioner would be the best thing for our amazing classrooms.It would feel so refreshing after a hot break time.

Wouldn't it be a great feeling that you have helpt over 80 students by putting in a simple air conditioner.

Thank you for reading my letter.

From Jack
