Charism in Action




The children in these pictures are showing kindness, generosity and cooperation. They are doing this using virtues and values. In our school we have influenced new entrant students to live by our School Charism Prayer, Service and Community. By doing this they are showing pride in  our school and making the right choices.

Smart Footprint - Being CyberSmart

Hi my name is Aaron and this is my blog!
I was a Year 7 but after 366 days (because of a leap year, Whoo! Go olympics) I turned into a Year 8. I am still the same me but one year older and with even more writing and imagination! I hope to give you more inspiring stories like narratives, recounts, persuasive, descriptive and report writing but these are only some of the many styles of writing that I do and will do. My surrounding here in New Zealand is really quiet and peaceful but right now in my class it’s as noisy as a stampede, a stampede of chit chat be have another class because we have another class with us : Room7 (no offence guys). This is my blog and hope you still keep reading it and keep coming!

(Comment Please :) ...)

Tessellations - Escher Envy



We are learning to design and create tessellations to explore transformations.
I used 'paint' to paint a tessellation as instructed in an activity called 'Escher Envy'.
I designed and created the above tessellating pattern.

This is the procedure

  • I opened up the computer tool paint
  • Then I created a parallelogram
  • Next I created a pattern on the top the parallelogram and repeated it on the bottom
  • Same as the sides
  • I then erased the original parallelogram and that left me with my pattern
  • I copied my pattern across the canvas of paint until I ended up with my first tessellation

Photosynthesis






Photosynthesis means 'putting together with light'. It is the process of a plant combining co2 carbon dioxide and water to make oxygen.  But they first absorb the sun's light energy through it's stomata.
