Traits of a successful learner!!!!!!!!

Traits of a successful learner!
Successful learners are students who listen and do everything the teacher says. They settle on task all the time and hand their work in completed to a high standard.
Successful learners look out for other students and take care of the classrooms and the school grounds. They don’t hurt other people’s feelings and they don’t put people down. Peoples learning styles are different but that doesn’t mean it’s bad in fact it’s good to be different! Some people are logic learners and others are visual or musical learners. We are all different!!!

11. Creating, imagining, innovating
12. Responding with wonderment and awe

Five dead on NZ roads in first 24 hours of Easter period
The Easter road toll stands at five after four crashes in the top half of the North Island during the first 24 hours of the holiday period. A 39-year-old man became the fifth person to die on the roads this Easter after losing control of his motorcycle about midday at the intersection of State Highway 1 and Bosher Road at Wellsford, 115km north of Auckland. Sergeant Paul Walker of Wellsford police said the motorcyclist was travelling with his wife as a pillion passenger when the crash happened. Efforts were made to revive him with CPR, including by his wife, but they were unsuccessful. Earlier today, a woman died after the car she was driving hit a bridge at the intersection of SH26 and Oak St in Morrinsville, 32km northeast of Hamilton, shortly after 9am. The woman was approaching the bridge and for some reason went to the left and went into the side of the bridge instead of over it. The victim was a 48-year-old from Morrinsville. Early this morning, a young man aged about 17 was thrown from his car and died after crashing on Whangarei Heads Road, near Whangarei. The teenager, the sole occupant of the vehicle, appeared to have crashed about 1.30am but was not found until 7.30am, when he was spotted by a passing motorist. No cause had been established yet. The first victims of the Easter period were two men in their early 20s who died in hospital after a two-car crash on Springs Rd in the south Auckland suburb of Otara, about 10.30pm yesterday. Both the dead men were passengers in a car which was hit from behind by another car after backing out of a driveway. The Easter weekend road toll period began at 4pm yesterday and ends at 6am on Tuesday morning. Last year, nine people died over the long weekend. In 2007, the toll was six, up from three in 2002 and 2003. Superintendent Paula Rose said the number of dead on the roads was more than in a normal weekend. Police would analyse the information at the end of the holiday.

Women killed by a train north of Wellington.

A 42-year-old woman died after being hit by a train in Tawa, north of Wellington, last night. Police said the accident occurred shortly after 9pm and was not considered suspicious. Nigel Parry told NZPA all trains between Wellington and Paraparaumu had been suspended while police investigated, with buses filling in for the passenger services. The line was cleared late last night and service was back to normal ahead of the work rush this morning. Mr Parry said it was standard practice for the train driver to be stood down following a fatal accident and they were offered counselling and time off work.

Laura Langman reunited with gold medal
New Zealand netballer Laura Langman has been reunited with her 2006 Commonwealth Games gold medal, stolen in a burglary just over a year ago. The medal was found by a carpenter cleaning a place in an Auckland state house last week. Laura said she was "absolutely ecstatic" at the news the medal had been recovered. It sported a few marks as the thief had apparently tried to scratch the medal to see if it was real gold. Laura's Tamahere home, nine kilometres south east of Hamilton, was burgled in February last year. Burglary squad Sergeant Bruce Bogan said a 27-year-old Hamilton man was arrested in November last year after the recovery of Laura's two bedside drawers. The man is defending the various charges, including burglary.

Swimming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

As you may have noticed today I received a certificate for swimming. I have been swimming for 5 years, I started when my cousin came down from Auckland she had been doing swimming for a number of years now and I didn't have anything to do in the afternoons so I joined her. I turned out to be quite good, so I went into the waikato juniors competition, I came 4th in breastroke 5th in freestyle and 7th in backstroke. My favourite stroke is obviously breaststroke. I loved swimming for a while I even got medals for the club I was on yop at swimming being in clubs like ace and fairfield, but then it got really boring just going backwards and forwards, up and down the lenth, it can get quite boring after a while so I decided to quit last year. I never went back to swimming and I really regret it since I am quite good but I dont want to go back to the boring backwards and forwards of it all. What do you guys think I should do Please leave a comments about your thoughts and feelings towards this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

How your ear works!!!! :)

The outer ear collects the sounds and comes though a long tube called the ear cannel. The middle ear has a long stretched out skinhich is abnormous (misshaped) called the ear drum which vibrates. The inner ear has three small bones that are like dominoes and they hit each other and then goes to the coclear. The coclear has liquid and little hairs/cells which moves everywhere then its sends though nerves to get to the brain and tells you someones said to you.The reason for this posts was so that some of the boys in our class dont know how to use their ears so I thought maybe it was because they didnt actually know who it works so now they have no reason to not listen to Mr Woody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :0 your welcome boys!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Marc Chagall

This is Marc Chagall (in the middle) a painting called "village" (on the left) and another one called "little pink parlour" (on the right). I love Marc's way of painting because of the childish but also very high quality. Last year in art I learnt about Marc Chagall and his style and colours that he uses in his paintings. I think marc chagall will be my artist to study and copy his style to complete a self portraite.

Woman saves her three children from Hamilton house fire

A mother saved her three young children from a burning house in south Hamilton this morning.
The mother was bathing her one- and three-year-old children, and a three-month-old baby was sleeping in a cot in another room, when the fire started about 11am.
She got the two children out of the bath and noticed smoke coming out from under one of the children's beds as she went to her room to dress.
"Grabbing the three-month-old and moving him to the lounge of the house, the woman tried to extinguish the fire with a bucket of water but by then it had become too involved.
The mother suffered singed hair and a small burn on her neck, and was taken with her children to Waikato Hospital to be checked for smoke inhalation.
The fire did not appear to be suspicious, although fire service investigators were investigating the cause.

Fish

I love fish, the way they shimmer in the water, the way they swim around it just makes me feel .... I don't know umm like ..... a fish! If I had a fish I would name it glimmer because of the way fish shine! My sister is crazy about fish she names everything fish this and fish that and to make it worse, she has a fish room!

I really love fish it may sound weird but I do especially tropical fish! Fish have different water types some live in fresh water or salt water. I think fish are very very cool!

Battery Farm Chicken

Isn't this just horrible!

And to think that people that buy battery farm chicken eggs are supporting this! I think it is very wrong what they do to them.

Did you know that battery farm chicken sit in groups of four in a A4 size cage and their eggs roll along an slide type runway.

The R.S.P.C.A complained and they improved it by 25% (sounds like a lot doesn't it) but it actually didn't do much as the size was only a bit shorter that what it is now! My family buys free range eggs and yours should too. Do you really want to see these chicken go down because its a couple of cents more to buy free range eggs, to me animal cruelty is a lot more important than a couple of cents. Do you agree?

Please leave a message I would like to hear every ones opinions!

Netball

Netball is so much fun! I play for the school and I have lots and lots of fun!

She just kills me when I am eating as she stairs at me with those cute puppy dog eyes then just to make it worse she goes up on her back feet! I hate it how she does that, but I love her so much that she gets spoiled I just love her and her apricot ears and all the white!
