Netbook Reflections 2013

How has having a Netbook connected to the internet helped my learning this year ?

Having a Netbook is cool. There is different things that you can do with it. Firstly going on google docs on my Netbook is great because you can edit on writing without a hassle (Only when internet is not working right). Which is great because you can go on offline. I like doing this because you can not only work by yourself but also in a group.

Secondly it’s great using Math Whizz because you learn different things like Decimals, Fractions,Place Values. Xtramath has helped me with my basic facts I have learn’t how to use Divided by faster and also my Times table.

Using Reading on google sites has been awesome knowing that I can always go online and use it to ready books and also do reading activities and next year my goal is to work harder at reading and writing.

Highlight's Of The Year 2013

The first highlight of the year was going to Waitangi in the Bay of island.Going there experiencing different things about why the treaty was signed.The treaty of waitangi was first signed on 6 february 1830.The Treaty is an agreement, in Maori and English, that was made between the British Crown and about 540 Maori rangatira chiefs

And then going to Auckland city to the Westpac HQ  for the opening of the the KIDS NATION were kids in New Zealand will go into a competition for 3 school can go to waitangi and experience the cool things you can do.

Also going to Camp Keswick and going to blue lake also going to the Rotorua pools was awesome because you can bomb in the pools. The luge was another exciting thing to do because going down the hill very fast and turning sharp corners.
