Why use bamboo?
Why use bamboo instead of wood? Tree’s takes up to 50 years to grow to full size where as bamboo only takes three years. Bamboo can grow up to 20 meters high.
Most people would think that bamboo is weak and flimsy but if someone dropped four tons of bricks on the top of a bamboo beam it wouldn’t break. It is very light so only a couple of people are needed to carry it. Bamboo can be used for many different things likes houses, clothes, plates and more.
More and more people are using bamboo as a building supply because it’s easy and cheap.

Bugsy Malone
In the Bugsy Malone show I played Roxy. I came in at the start of the show and got splurged. My favourite part of the show was when the gang was doing the bad guys dance and I got to tackle them. At the start of the play I was a bit nervous because I get stage fright but when I went on stage the nerves just went away. I enjoyed it a lot in the end and my family and I are proud of what I did. Bugsy Malone made me over come my fear of stage fright. I can't wait for the next show that we do.

I have improved in my reading and maths because I am spending more time on these subjects.
How do I learn best?
In a quiet zone with no interruptions.
What have I found challenging this year so far? How did I overcome this?
Maths was hard at first but I did my homework and it got easier.
How do I reflect on my learning? What do I do?
I look over my work and compare it to other people's. I look over the success criteria to ensure I have met it. I read over the teacher's comments and look at what is highlighted.
What are the successes I have had so far this year?
I moved up a math class in the first term. Scoring my first try in rugby.
What groups, teams, and extra activities, music groups have I been in?
Rugby and cricket.
What is the most important skill I will take through the rest of the year?
Work as hard as I can.
The Habit of Mind I need to focus on in Term 3 is ...
Persisting because I need to finish all my work on time.
Further goals I have for myself are ...
To score a few more tries as a forward in rugby. Win the Year 7 boys cross-country race.
WRITING
I dislike writing because it is boring and I don't like the topics.
My next steps are ...

WRITING
I dislike writing because it is boring and I don't like the topics.
My next steps are ...
- to enjoy writing more,
- generate ideas,
- use a variety of planning formats,
- use more descriptive words,
- introduce my characters,
- create a vivid image in the reader's mind,
- develop the skills of reworking text,
- elaborate more.
READING
I don't mind reading but I can never find a good book. I like reading non fiction. My favourite books to read are encyclopedias. I am reading The Deadly Sky at the moment and it is quite good.
My next steps are...
- Infer by combining my own prior knowledge,
- Recognize specific language features,
- Find word meaning in context,
- Read regularly and select a wider range of books.

My Dad
He is nimble with kind eyes and soft foot steps. My Dad is 59 but still beats me at a lot of things like beach sprints and surfing. Dad has a uniform of, at work he wears a black suit with a shirt, with the top button undone and no tie. When at home he wears a mix of jeans or shorts and a T-shirts. He wears glasses at work and home. He's got black hair and very tanned skin from being on the beach. He has a cheesy smile with hazel eyes and a wrinkle here and there. Dad isn't very tall. He 5 foot 8 so I am catching up. He is a good character to be around.
