How to use Microsoft Excel

On the 5th of April Room 7 was shown how to use Microsoft Excel.
Microsoft Excel can be used for making charts and graphs. To make your graph or chart press and hold the button command or apple and while holding apple press X. Now your graph will disappear. Now minimize your excel by pressing the little yellow button and open Microsoft Word. Hold apple and then press V. Now your graph is in Microsoft word.

PE Assessment

On Monday Room 7 did a PE skills assessment.

We did it in our thinking pairs. The activities were throwing a tennis ball into a hoop, throwing a big green ball and a tennis ball to each other and the ball bouncing at least ten metres across the court, another one Mrs Browne watched us and throw a tennis ball to each other. At the end of every activity you and your partner assess each other-eg circle the face you got. There were three smiley faces, one of them was happy, one of them was felling ok and the last one looked grim and angry.

PE assessment

On Monday Room 7 did a PE assessment.


We went round PE stations with our thinking pairs and
marked them on how they completed the task. [There were five stations]
My partner was William and I got full marks.
The stations were mostly passing skills except for one activity,which involved throwing into a target. They
were quite fun.

PE Assessment

On Monday we did a PE assessment. We did a throwing and catching assessment. We had to do the activity with our thinking partner. Then we had to either give ourselves a smiley face, a straight face or a sad face depending on how well we did.

The activities were throwing a ball so it bounces in a hoop on the full, throwing a ball to our partner from 10-20 meters away, throwing a ball to our partner in front of Mrs Browne, throwing a big green ball and a tennis ball to our partner from varying distances and doing one handed throws to our partner with a big green ball. My favourite one was the one where we had to throw the ball into the hoop. It was my favourite because I like aiming and throwing things at targets.

Microsoft Excel

On Tuesday room 7 was leaning how to use Microsoft Excel.

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet and you can use it for scores, which is what room7 used it for. You also can use it for financial things like shares. We were allowed to mess around with Microsoft Excel me and Dominic made a 3D line graph. Mrs B said it was a bit hard to read. Dominic's favourite graph was the donut graph and mine was the pie graph, but nether was appropriate for what we were doing and that was graphing spelling scores.

Using Excel

On Thursday for in Inquiry we used Microsoft Excel. We found out that you can make graphs out of it and display scores like our weekly spelling tests.
First we made a graph about spelling then we got to explore what other type of graphs there were. My group found out there are a few graphs. We also found out that you can get take your graph onto a word page. When you first went on Excel you needed to know how to work a spreadsheet. We had to all work together. Once we had entered the scores onto the spreadsheet, we had to highlight the scores and put them in the graph. By putting your scores in a graph you can see if you have doing better or worse.

Wahine Blog

On Monday Room 7 did a diary entry about the Wahine disaster in 1968 . We wrote it during our Quick Write.
This is my Quick Write.
I was on the wahine and when I looked out of the window and I saw huge waves crashing onto the boat. I felt really scared. The boat was shaking heaps and it crashed onto a rock and sank. There was lots of water going into the boat.
I was lucky because I got in a life boat and I got to the shore.

The Wahine Disaster

On Monday Room7 did a diary entry about the Wahine Disaster in 1968. We wrote it during our Quick Write time.
This is my Quick Write.

I was looking out the window of my house when I saw the Wahine slowly sinking. I tore out of the house screaming,
"The Wahine is sinking! "
People were running with gear to help all the people. I was crying because all my friends and my dad were on board. We ran to the closest shore and started pushing and pulling at boats and some people were even swimming out. The people that were helping only rescued a few people but at least they managed to save some people.
I hope I don't see anything like this in Wellington again.
