INNOVATION DAY: House challenges and tasks designed to make you smile or perhaps slap your forehead in frustration!
CHECK THIS OUT!
NOW ARE YOU READY TO ROLL!
Maths you create your homework amount. If you need extra practice, do more questions. Forgotten a step, check in your book. Use Khan or youtube to show you about perimeter and area.
Step one: Simple shapes inside and out.
Step Two: odd linear shapes Marshall and Will have this sorted!
Step three: triangles. Harry Mason has the knack with this!
Step Four: Circles, organic shapes, and the whole world.
Short week ahead!
Making the most of the time we have in class and that you have set aside for revision.

WEEK TWO:
SCIENCE TASK FOR REVISION:
Neil heard that plants compete for space. He decided to test this idea. He bought a mixture of flower seeds from Kate the market gardener and some potting soil from Ian. Into each of the 5 plastic cups he put the same amount of soil. In the first cup he planted two seeds, in the second cup he planted 4 seeds, in the third cup 8 seeds, and in the fourth cup he planted 16 seeds. In the last cup he planted 32 seeds. After 25 days he began to read his observations and make tally charts to form the basis of his graphs.
- What is the purpose of this experiment?
- What are the independent and dependent variables?
- Write up the procedure for this experiment.
- Create a lab report using the format in your Science books. You will have to create the parts that are not provided.
Prep focus is on revision for exams. You need to continue to manage your time and your study direction. Keep your study calendar up to date so you can see the balance of revision.
English: Continue flag work ready for handing in on Thursday. Clear use of terms including referendum,design, cartography,creativity,scamper and flag choices need to be clearly identifiable in your work.
Maths: 8KJ maths - you must complete page 11 of the measurement booklet provided for study purposes. Extra direction, complete the word problems include your working out in your book.
Science: Research graphs. You will need to know what are the key components of graphs. Why would you choose a certain type of graph? How do you record data and ensure it is accurate?
# In your Science book you need to record five key components of graphs.
# Outline the different types of graphs and when you would use each one.
# Answer this question. What is error analysis?
The Science exam is in two parts.
Part One:
Scientific thinking, which is multi choice questions and has a background focus of reading questions critically,thinking scientifically and scientific literacy. All students sat a similar test in term two so they are familiar with the structure and style of testing.
Part Two: Lab report
This is based on the work completed in term three. The students will be given a short science scenario which they will unpack and create a Lab report.
The students have the two sheets of the lab report outline in their science books.They will need to revise the headings used in the report for both understanding and application in the scenario setting.
The week ahead:
Make sure you are keeping up with all work.

WEEK ONE STUDY FOCUS:
SCIENCE:
List all the headings from the Lab Report. This work must be in your science books.
Explain the meanings so you can use them.
Create a sentence from the capital letters which you can remember. Josh Kirk has the very best example so far! IE PHMPDAC (purpose,hypothesis,materials,procedure,data,analysis,conclusion)
## Xtra for experts: Create a short science story for people to unpack similar to my glass house story or the one involving the types of compost.
MATHS: All of you have math sheets and homework tasks to complete.
FLAG WORK: Develop specific questions for your flag work google form.
Think about how will you find out about other cultural perspectives.
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of
I hope you had a fabulous break, I am looking forward to catching up with you and seeing how much you have grown. I wonder how many of you will be taller than me now!
Work wise we are heading into exam revision. We will outline each subject fully for you and blogs will have all details for checking.
You will have class and prep time to revise. You can choose to do so effectively or not. I can show you how to, but it is you that will choose to do so or not.
We are in need of plastic bottles between 1L and 2.5L in size. I know its lots of sugar, but hopefully you can collect enough for all. Bottles are rewarded with house points.
If you are wanting to change sports, please get your parents to send a request to Mr Doull. Lincoln@hereworth.school.nz.
Are you ready to set sail?
Welcome aboard.

Welcome to term three.
Below is the outline for SCIENCE for all year seven and eights for term three. Teachers in charge are Tracey Kinloch-Jones (Year 8) and Neil McCorkell. (Year 7)
| What is the purpose of the Science Badges? | |||
 | • | | To get students interested in and working on a series of sciences activities |
| • | As the activities are well within the capability of average students, they: | ||
| • encourage student initiative | |||
| • provide a tangible reward (metal badge and certificate) | |||
| • don't involve teachers in a lot of extra work | |||
| |||
| How does it work? | |||
| • | Students choose a badge from a total of 29 available | ||
| • | An Activity Sheet for that topic is purchased | ||
| • | There are approx 47 points per sheet. The student must complete 20 of them | ||
| • | Teachers mark each task then sign the sheet once it has been completed | ||
| • | A badge and certificate is given to the student | ||
| |||
| When can students do the activities? | |||
| • | They should be done at home | ||
| • | Within 12 months is recommended for the badge | ||
| |||
| How much help should students be given? | |||
| • | The activities are designed for Years 7-10 and students should be able to work on them by themselves | ||
| • | Offer praise and occasionally some advice if there are problems | ||
| • | Encourage students to use a variety of sources to get information | ||
| |||
| What about the less able/very able students? | |||
| • | There is a varied menu of activities on each sheet to choose from | ||
| |||
| What does it cost? | |||
| • | Students pay for their badge to their school Science coordinator | ||
| • | Costs are $6.00 for the badge and task sheet. | ||
| |||
| How can the student start? | |||
| • | Once a badge is chosen, click on the underlined name/badge and this will link you to a sample of the badge questions | ||
| • | Print out the sheet and give it to the student to start working on the badge | ||
| • | Collect the money for the badge and send away for the full activity sheet and badge | ||
| • | Teachers transfer the marked questions onto the full activity sheet and give the student the badge once it is completed | ||
Below is a link to the Poetry competition we spoke of in class.

WEEK THREE LOOKING AHEAD
REVISION WEEK. # Everyone needs to be working on revision.
# Set yourself a target of twenty minutes of focused study in one topic.
# Read over work, write key phrases,understand definitions, put them into context.
# Reward yourself. Short break.
# Next twenty minutes, next topic.
# Study does not need to be neat and tidy. It can be colourful, in a book, on a large piece of paper. Whatever works for you- works for you!!!
The exams are not designed to trick you. They are based on what you have learnt over this year. I believe you will do well if you revise effectively as discussed in class and remember to implement your knowledge and understanding with accuracy.
Week Two:
We are heading for 100% arriving on time organised for class. Please help us succeed by assisting your son to be 'on time every time' Punctuality is a key part of respect and is an important value for all.
Prep this week is to focus on both delivery of your pepeha and your Oral English reading. We did not get it done last week due to ANZAC day.
All title pages need to be completed for Mr Scott.
Maths Revision for all. Use Khan academy to watch video clips to develop your knowledge and understanding of Number.
Reading: Tomorrow when the war began. As you are reading this story, pause to contemplate what decisions are being made, how does it impact others and what are the action steps taken.
Science: We are looking for the internal wheel of a tractor tyre for an investigation. Let me know if you have one available. It won't be returned, so needs to be free to a good home.
Best wishes to the very best class in the school.
