Writing focus

 

For our writing we have been writing Narratives. We have been learning to add a great hook in or opening line to our writing and to start our sentences in different ways.

This week we also had to have a smile and alliteration in our writing. This slide shows my hook in, sentence beginnings, simile and alliteration.

We are using our Kaiwhakarite/Self Manager learning asset by reflecting on our learning.

Copyright Challange

 I was learning to create a copyright slide with explorer.  Copyright is your image getting taken by somebody else that didn't ask you for permission.

I found this easy because it says what you had to put in that exact box and also for the name and nickname you only had to write your name or nickname in that box instead of a image.

I found this hard because we had to keep the link for the person who made it and then it made it way harder to resize the image inside the box.

I really enjoyed doing this challenge because it is teaching you that you can get copyright claimed if you use them from the web.

Next time I need to be more focused on my learning and not get distracted.

Respecting the Playground

We were learning to respect many things in our playground like listening to the teacher.

I found this activity easy because for the putting rubbish in the bin we just found the rubbish around the playground and looked like we were picking the rubbish up.

I found it hard to find out what we were going to do for that respect option for what to do and exactly what it looked like.

I really enjoyed doing this activity because it was lots of fun and we laughed about what we actually did for the playing with buddies and respecting the garden.

Next time I need to focus more then we could of gotten the activity done more faster.

 

Dancing with the Stars

We were learning to collaborate together to find our dance to do on the stage (grass).  I was with Michael, Noah, Jodi and Brodie.

I found it hard to know what we were doing at the right time and people in the group telling us what to do but then we changed dance moves so I wasn't sure what to do.

I really enjoyed doing Dancing with the Stars because it was lots of fun and even though I am shy I still gave it a go and had lots of smiles.

Next time I need to listen to the person saying the ideas but also have them tell me when to do the dance move at the exact time.

 

Learning Assets

I was learning to work together as a team and make a tank wheel by walking around the hall with Xavier, Michael and Brodie.  We were learning about our Communicator learning asset.

I found it hard to do this activity because the paper got all messy and it ripped and didn't work out the best.

I really enjoyed this activity because it was about teamwork, talking and completing the challenge.

Next time I need to listen more to people's ideas and have more fun.

 

Korowai

 

We were learning to be very creative with the patterns and then we choose some colors to do the patterns on and we dyed our feathers the color that we choose.

I found it easy to dye and make the patterns on the feather and the reason I found it easy to dye is because you just have to go back and forwards.

I found it hard to cut the little slits that we had to do in the feathers and also making the orange feathers not connect to the orange feather like being right next to the same color.

I really enjoyed doing this activity because I love patterns and I did also enjoy putting the feathers on.

Next time I need to take my time and not go really fast to complete it.                                                                                                                                                                        

Triathlon

We were learning to work in a team and never give up and don't be angry about it.

I found it easy to do backstroke in the pool because it is the easiest stroke you can do because you just have to lay down and kick then you can have a rest from all the strokes and if you need a breath.

I found it hard to do freestyle in the pool because I got exhausted easy and I didn even get to the end by doing freestyle.

I really enjoyed doing the triathlon because it was lots of fun and I do like swimming and I have done the Weetbix Tryathlon.

Next time I need to practice doing freestyle so I don´t get exhausted so easily.
