October Reflection

 Last week we did our October Reflection. You may of seen my other monthly reflections and probably wondering why we do them.We do them because its like a checkup each month to see what we're learning about. Next time I would change my school Athletics because it quite short and not very interesting. What's your favourite activity? 

   

Frida kahlo

This week were learning a little bit about Frida and doing art of Frida Kahlo. Frida is one of of the best artists of 9000s she was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism and died 13th July 1954.  

Come down Golden Reading task

For the past 3 days we have been reading about this book called Come Down Golden and this week we are learning to infer which means to read between the lines and try to figure out what the author is hinting at or giving clues for. Next time I would change some of the questions. I found it tricky to hypothesize. I enjoyed reading the blurb on the back of the book.    

My Speech

For the past 2 weeks we have been working on our speeches. We were learning to speak clearly with expression to engage interest. I found it tricky to make sure the listener was hooked. Next time I would choose a different topic. Click here! to listen to my speech. 

Have you ever said a speech in front of your class?

Lisa Carrington

For Writing we are learning to make links between our paragraphs. I found it tricky to find words that could link in my paragraphs. 

We chose a New Zealander who went to the Tokyo Olympics and wrote a report.

Here is my report.

Life 

Lisa's dad (Glynns) took Lisa along to a kayak camp being held near ohope on lake Rotoehu even though she had no idea what K1 paddling was or even that it was a sport.From that experience Lisa started kayaking a little more manly to improve her fitness and for surf life saving. Lisa is now studying for a diploma in psychology.

medals Lisa has won five medals one bronze and 4 gold in her career. 

Rongoa the healing power of plants

 This week we were learning to summarize which means giving a small statement about the key points. We were reading about Rongoa  -the healing power of plants. 

Today we made signs to put around the garden in our school. Here is my sign that is what it should look like. 

   

Ascension of Jesus

 

Yesterday we did our  ascension of Jesus. I enjoyed finding  images of Jesus and his 11 disciples . Next time I would change my background to blend in more. I found it challenging to blend my colors together. My digital learning object  shows I can analyse and synthesis. 

Bee Bots

 Today we programmed and coded Bee Bots. Bee Bots are these little bees and they have arrows and buttons on the front. We had to code them so that they went to a certain spot in the hall. I enjoyed counting how many steps it took to get to our number. My digital learning object shows that I can code a bee bot. I found it challenging to make sure it got to the right spot. Next time I would take more photos.    

March Reflection

Today we are reflecting on our work we did in March. I enjoyed reflecting on the past month because I liked to think about the fun things we did. I found it challenging to  remember all the things we did. My digital learning object shows I can embed a Google Drawing onto my blog.Can you remember what you did in the past month?

 

Goal Setting Term 1

  

Today we did our term one goal settings. I enjoyed thinking about what I wanted to get better at like my times tables. Next time I would change my learning disposition goal. I found it challenging to choose a learning hero because they are all amazing but I decided to choose Kahuanui because she likes to listening and participe. My digital learning object  shows I can publish to my blog with a quality blog post.
