What kaupeka (Year 7&8) is all about

Greetings, everyone

Today I will be answering some question given to us by the Kaupeka teachers about what year 7&8 is all about.

1.How many students do we have in our hub?

We have 65 Children in our hub.

2.What do our learning spaces look like and how does our hub work?

Our learning spaces are like 3 normal size class rooms then a shared area in the middle and each home base has one of the normal size class rooms but all the classrooms are joined together.

3.What digital technologies do we use in the Kaupeka Hub and how/why do we use them?

We mostly use chrome books and the teachers use this app called Hapara so then they can see everything we do on our chrome books so that way we always stay on task.

4.What does our timetable look like?

5.What is PBL? Share an example of your best project.

PBL is Project Based Learning and one of our best PBL projects was when we did a political campaign and made up a political party and tried to become the government of the school.

6.What skills and qualities should you have by the time you leave Year 7/8 at St Francis?

1.You should be able to know how to be respectful on the internet and know how to be safe on the internet.

2. Know what a digital footprint is (A record that shows what you search up on the internet and it's something that an employer can refer to if they want to hire you)

3. Be able to read at a year 7&8 level.

7.What is your favourite learning area?

The shared space because you can socialise but you can also get your work done as well.

8.What is your proudest moment of this year?

It would have to be becoming a road patroler.

What are some similarities and differences about your

classroom/hub/school? Let me know in the comments.

How I've adjusted from being a year 6 to being a year 7&8 leader

Greetings, everyone

Today I will be talking about how I've adjusted from being a year 6 to becoming a year 7&8 leader. One big difference from being a year 5&6 is that in year 7&8 you have so many more responsibilities - like peer mediation, help running assemblies and you get a lot more work. But it means that you always will have something to work on which is good because then you will always be learning something new. I love having a blog because it means I can express myself through uploading blogs, plus we get to comment on other people's blogs as well, which I enjoy.

One thing I also had to slowly get used to was the decreased amount of students in my hub. For example, when I was in Tuma (year 5&6) there were about 110 students and in Kaupeka (year 7&8) there are only 65 students so that would mean that kaupeka is only 60% of what Tuma was when I was Year 5&6!

I hope everyone enjoyed reading my blog today and do you think you would have a blog? Let me know in the comments.
