Here is my Term 3 reflection

Learning In The Making Conference 2015

Last Friday I took part in the Learning In The Making Conference 2015. Learning In The Making Conference is when students can run or attend fun workshops all day, everyone loves the Learning In The Making Conference. The first workshop was one everyone in Whetu and Marama had to go to. We had a man talk to us about cyber safety. He told us about The Great Firewall Of China and how it blocks people from the outside world. This reminds me about the Phoenix Files how everyone is cut off from the outside world. I would rate this workshop second.

 The next workshop was The Technology Challenge which was my personal favourite. For The Technology Challenge we had to make the tallest structure we could with 20 dried sticks of pasta 1 metre of string and 1 metre of sticky tape and get this the world record for this is held by a group of kindergarten kids. My team won because we built our tower on a table and it leaned down so we won with -15 cm as our hight. I would rate this workshop first.

The following workshop Make a Model ran by Mrs Taaffe was where we had to make a model. My group made a Hawaiian skirt and headdress. The other groups both made dresses. This workshop I would rate fourth.

The next workshop I didn't really like it was The Maths Challenge. We started off with a timetable challenge then one on word problems then finally algorithms. I would rate this workshop fifth.

Finally I went to The Science workshop run by Mrs Barker. In this workshop we had to figure out how to make an electro magnet with a metre of copper wire a D battery and a nail. The magnet had to be strong enough to pick up a paper clip.

I had such a fun day last Friday and I'm sure everyone else did to.

Princess Diana

Diana was born in Park House in 1961. Diana's family lived very easily, she would just eat, chat and joke all day. Her brother and sisters were full of fun and so was she. Diana loved the beach. When she was seven her parents divorced and her father won custody of the children. For the rest of her childhood Diana was moved between her parents houses.

The first job she got was a kindergarten teacher. Then she got married to Prince Charles Of Wales in 1981. Next they had two sons William and Harry.  Then Diana became very famous because she worked for charity's and helped people with leprosy. She earned the name The Queen of Hearts because people loved her so much. In her adulthood she was something of a rebel seen touching someone with AIDS made a huge impact on peoples thought about people infected with this disease. Diana died in a car crash in France when her car went through a tunnel and crashed into a wall while trying to escape the media.

Princess Diana of Wales was definitely a Queen of hearts.
