Feast Of The Assumption

All BLacks Presentation

This morning I went for a swim at school. When we first got into the pool Mr Burton, Our swimming instructor, told us we were going to play a game called captains coming then we all practiced our Torpedo's back and forth along the pool. Next we had free time, Me and Nyan had races across the pool it was exiting . Suddenly it was time to go back to the classroom I cant wait till next week.

First T3 Post

I have just got back to school from holiday and school is now in term 3. This term at school we have got a swimming pool which is very exciting because we haven't had a swimming pool at school before. I am looking forward to taking my net book home hopefully this term.

Celebration of Unity and coming together to learn in room 8

On a very rainy morning Room 8 started our class mass in our class room with Father and Mr Coakley as our special guests. We did not have morning tea break at the regular 10.30 time as there was going to be a school assembly before lunch and we wanted to have some relaxing time together as room 8 before the assembly started.

First of all we started with the introduction which Dorothy read so clearly that I heard every thing she said. After awhile a song called ‘Morning Has Broken’ started playing, this was our gathering song but...opps....the projector wasn't working so we had a whole heap of papers that had the words on it that we had to share. Father explain that now it was time for the liturgy of the word, Robbertana reading from the Act’s and so we got onto the second part of our class Mass. Next Emanuel and Nayan read the Gospel, and they did it like a conversation which cool!.

Father then spoke to us about the readings and the gift of the Holy Spirit as well as our place as learners. Now stage three of the mass took place and after the blessing the people that normally had Communion passed it around the circle. After that we had another song and we sung ‘Alleluia Alleluia’ (Guy Sebastian - Receive the Power music & Lyrics).

Well our mass ended, it was time to share fellowship before our school assembly. What a special experience.

What I Think About Learning Goals

It is clear to me that learning goals are great for learning. I think this because they give you a focus to your learning.

Learning goals are especially good for the things you are not so good at, for example I’m not so good at my times tables. My main goal is to work most of the time independently and I know this is important as it will improve my ability to develop as well as learn my timestables.

Many people also agree that learning goals are great for learning. Learning goals can be either big or small here is an example of a big one: To get an honours badge in year eight, that is very hard to achieve. Now here is an example of a small goal: Learn more things this year, that isn't that hard to do.

Imagine yourself in a position with no goals at all, with no goals then there would be nothing to work towards or nothing to work on and then you won’t learn much. Yes you would be a lost sole drifting.

Another reason why learning goals are good is that they give you a warm feeling and it shows you have ambition, something to work towards and that can be fun if you have a prize at the end. Guess what if it was a prize or something you really like, for example we have something called a ‘Marble jar’ at home and every time we do something wonderful we get a marble added and when we full it up we get to do something like get something or go somewhere special.

That is my opinion on learning goals.
