Our sleepover 2014

Chiquita's "City Of Ember" Tagul

 

My Reflection

This is my Tagul. I found this a little bit tricky because I couldn't find a good light bulb to use and my laptop keept dieing so my work deleted twice. Next time I will save my work and pluge a charger in. 

Achievements : Personal Presentation

Achievements: Mathletics Gold

  

My Multiplication Strategy

My Reflection

I found the Doubling and halving strategy the easyest because I know how to havle and double my numbers well. I found the Compensation strategy little bit tricky because  I kept forgetting to
add and take away the extra numbers. Next time I will keep practising the Compensation strategy more.

Daffodil Art (part 2)

  

My Reflection

This is my Daffodil Art. I found this a little confusing because I got muddled up with the verbs, adjectives and the nouns. Next time I will learn more about verbs, adjectives and the nouns.

Daffodil Art (Part 1)

  

My Reflection

This is my Daffodil Art. I found this a little tricky because it was hard to get the right shape of the petals and the right size of the flower. Next time I will practice more to get the right shape and size.

I love art Because it does not have to be perfect but to me everything is perfect.

Daffodil Diamante Poem

 My Reflection
This is my Daffodil Diamante Poem. We used adjectives, Nouns and Verbs. I found this a little tricky because I got a little muddled up with all the adjectives, nouns and verbs. Next I will use more wow words.

Interschool Netball Team

 My Reflection

This is my award for being in the Interschool Netball Team for my school.

Leadership Wet Day Monitor

  

Leadership Peer Mediator badge

  

My Mathletics Certificate

  

My Basic Facts Progress

Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice

 
  My Reflection

I have been learning Cry of the Taniwha looking at the characters.  I found this easy because I was listening well and making pictures in my mind.  My next step is to learn more about the book and find examples of how the characters act.

Decimal Place Value

 

My Volcano Landcape

  

My reflection

We have been learning how to apply paint. We learnt two techniques, dabbing with a sponge and dragging with cardboard.

My Speech

My Reflection

We have been learning to write an effective speech.

I found this a little bit tricky because I could not think of a good topic to write about. I made sure I had an introduction, 3 main reasons and facts and examples to back up my reasons.

I think I have a good conclusion because it summarised the ideas of my speech.

Peer Mediator Training

    

My Reflection 

For the past 2 months I have been training to be a peer mediator. A Peer Mediator is someone who walks around a specific place and gives out house points to people who are playing or doing something nice and they solve problems.  

Natural Disaster Brainstorm

My Reflection

I have been learning to summarise and record my research in my own words.

I found summarising the information into my own words tricky because I could not think of other words.

Something I learnt was that Volcanoes are named after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. 

My next step is to learn and study more about Volcanoes.

2014 Netball Field Day

 

My Reflection:

On Monday a cupel of students went to the 2014 Netball Field Day. IT WAS REALLY FUN!!!  The part I really liked was that everyone worked together to achieved goals & have fun. In the end we went back to school. Everyone cheered us on & congratulated  us & everyone was happy. 

Fractions of a set

 

My Reflection

I was learning about Unit fractions and Multiple fractions.  I found this easy because I learnt that unit fractions have a one on the top. e.g. 1/6.  Another thing that helped me was my times-tables, e.g. 1/5 of  30 = 6

30 divided by 5 = 6

Next time I will use them more.

Soccer Field Day

 

My Reflection

On Tuesday a cupel of students went to the 2014 Soccer Field Day. IT WAS REALLY FUN!!! The part I really liked was that everyone worked together to achieved goals.

In the end we finished soccer & we went to Mc Donalds for a treat. That was AWESOME!!!!

My Pepeha

 

My Reflection

This is my pepeha. I added a awa (river), a maunga (mountain), four paina (trees) & a few other things.

I found this a bit tricky because it was a little hard thinking of the Māori designs. Next time I will try to remember some patterns.

Obituary

My Reflection

I was learning to understand the impact of characters in a story.

One thing that  worked for me was sequencing the changes in Jess each chapter 

One thing I could do better was try to make my story more 
interesting 

Overall I think I did well because it was my first time writing an Obituary & I had just learnt what an Obituary was.

My Circle Art

My Reflection

I have been learning to draw 

Concentric Circle Art.

In this art you start with 4 - 5 

little circles then you 

start to get bigger & bigger. 
I found this okay because it
was hard to put the right colours 
in the right place. 
Next time I will try to colour faster.

Comparing Chareters

                                                              My Reflection

I am learning to Comparing Characters from the book called Bride To Terabithia.

I found this simple because I knew what happened in the story because I saw the movie and I knew more about the characters.My next step is to dig more deeper in the book and relate myself to the characters.

   

Making & breaking numbers.

My Reflection

I was learning that numbers can be made & 

broken up in a number of different ways. I

found it easy because I listened to the instructions

 & I new what to do. My next step is to use more 

complicated ideas like brackets & exponents.

My Kennings poem

My Reflection

I have being learning to write a Kennings poem.

A Kennings poem is when you describe your self.
The last word has to be a (Doing) word ending with "er".
I found this easy because I knew how to describe
myself in a good way. My next step is to add better
(describing) words.

Did you ever?

My Reflection

I was learning how to write a Did You ever poem.

I felt happy about my poem.

I also felt  confused because I kept 
forgetting what a verbs were.

The most tricky part was 
thinking what to write about.

My next step is learning what a 
verb is & ask someone what
 a verb is or look it up in a dictionary.
