Netbook Reflection

WALT record what learning on our netbooks this year has been like, what we have enjoyed, what has been difficult, what has been interesting

At the start of the year Room 6 was very lucky to get little black, shiny, brand new netbooks! I felt so happy I was over the moon, I wanted to use my netbook right away.

I have really liked that we just have to type instead of handwriting. Another thing that I like about my netbook is that I can share my work with the world by posting it onto my blog.

Some small problems have been happening like Netbook freezing. I just don't like when it freezes because we have to restart our netbook so it can work again, but everything else is good.

It has been really interesting that people keep on coming to see how we use netbooks.

The netbooks are a good thing. I think netbooks help kids from year 5 to 13 because the netbook encourages the kids to come to school and learn.

Recount-Athletics Day

WALT: write a descriptive recount, with an orientation, events and ending


On Friday 9th of November, Tamaki Primary held its annual Athletics Day! It was held on the school field. All the students of Tamaki Primary competed.

When I woke up, I was feeling so happy I didn't want to lose time. When Lolo woke up, he was feeling scared he might lose because his feet were in pain.
I got really right away so I could get to school faster. Lolo got up and quickly got really so he can be first to school fast.

When I got to school I went up the steps,  to hang my bag outside of room 6. When Lolo made it to school he saw me hanging my bag, Lolo hung his bag near my bag.

I went into room 6 and Lolo was behind me. Mr Craig called the roll and when he came to me I said “good morning”.

When we finished the roll we went to our house team.We practiced our song and others.  after we all learned it off by heart we lined up outside of room 2 and walked to the racetrack singing our songs.

When the races started for me I went to the starting line shyly. The wood smashed together and away I went. When I was at the fishing line I found out that I came 1st. I felt very happy.

Later on it was the final. I came 1st in all my races, but in the relays we came 4th.

I was proud of myself at the end of the day so was Lolo.
