Week 5 reflection!

Today I showed I was Capable by doing my math pre-test. I didn't do it last week so I did it today. 

When I saw the questions, i was like, I can do this! We had to use strategys that is good and that is easy to do. 

Strategys I used was rounding, number line and using what I learned before at school last year and my tutor, Kumon.

I was able to finish all of the questions. As did my friend Nisita. They were pretty easy questions and I understood it right away.

You may be wondering, what is the point of this test? Well, it lets the learning coaches know where we are up to and which group we should be in.

My other favourite things I did today was PE and art.

For PE we did some throwing themed activities. 

The first game was where you had to throw there balls into either hoop 1, 2 or 3. Sadly, i only got four points but it was fun still.

The second game was cricket. We had to learn how to throw the ball to the bater and how to aim and all those skills for cricket.

The third game was trying to throw the ball to knock over the cone. We were a small group so we only used two cones for it. Margaret and I got two points while the other group got four or five points.

The last game was when you throw the ball and aim.

Art was pretty cool. I learned how to mix coloures and how to make it seem like it is going from dark to light. We worked on a puzzle piece and at the end, we would then connect all of the pieces.

What: here i tell you about how i was capable and what i enjoyed today.

So what:  i choose to do this because i wanted to share my learning experience with you guys and also share what i enjoyed today.

Now what: i want to improve on my colour mixing and how i make it come from dark to light. I also want tp improve on my throwing skills. I have terrible aim but i try my best.

Narrative Assessment

Week 4, Wednesday Reflection!

What: what i did today was learn about what you can do to save the earth. What you can do to reduce wasting energy in your house. We also presented our energy facts/silde. Here are some examples of things you can do to save energy in YOUR house:

1. Walk to school instead of driving because, it will save fuel, you reduce air pollution and also, you get a good leg work out. (This may not be a house energy saving idea, but it's a car saving idea

2. If you are a person that spends like 2 hours in the shower, set a timer near your shower. 

3. Reuse plastic bags instead of asking for more and also instead of throwing them away because it takes a very, very long time for plastic to break down.

So what: I've chosen to do this because, it helped me understand that wasting energy was bad for the earth. Water and trees can make more energy but, we will lower down on water, trees etc. . . People wouldn't be able to breath if there were no trees and also, people would be thirsty because there is no water. The moral of this is, think about all the energy your wasting and what you can do to help keep the energy going.

Now what: what i want to learn next is:

What is the purpose of energy?

My guess: well, i think the purpose of energy is for loading iPad websites etc. . . 

Why can't we just use one type of energy source?

My guess: i think its because we need enough energy sources so people thought of different ways to make energy.

How can people use energy wisely?

My answer: people can use energy wisely by (see some examples up above)

Here is a pic of some of my ideas of how we can save energy:

 

Week 3 Reflection 2!

Hi everybody!!

Welcome to another Week 3 reflection!!

Today we had Mrs Hooker and Mrs Arahill teaching us.

In the morning block we take the roll. I must said, Mrs Hooker was really good at it! We then went into iExplore. Aleena and I practiced and practiced many times for our presentation for tomorrow. I'm super excited for tomorrow's presentation. Hopefully it goes well!

After iBreak 1, we did our English lessons. Mrs Hooker was #oresome at leading this lesson. Even for her firat time in LH3 with us older ones. We had to summrise and use keywords and write 25 words in our book.

After iBreak 2, Mrs Arahill did the roll call. She was awesome at it! After we did a statistics investigation about how many people walked, biked, scootered and went in a car. In my investigation, many people went in a car. We then did a reflection and we are now ready to go home!

I hoper you enjoyed my second reflection this week. Until my next blog, Bye!!

Week 3 Reflection!!

So what I learned today was about saving the earth in iExperince. Here are my ideas on how we can save the earth:

1. We can reuse plastic bags from the supermarket instead of throwing it away cause it takes very long time for plastic to break down

2. Walk to school instead of driving cause, it will save your fuel and reduce air pollution

Jump Jam!! Today was the first ever jump jam show!! We had three stages and Taanvi, Sadeen and I were on it. It was kind of nerve wreaking when I was up there. I was scared I was going to fall. I believe we can continue Jump Jam the way we did today. What I founded hard was that it was hard to choose a learner that was #oresome because everyone was awesome. 

What I would improve on now is to work on saving the earth. I sometimes walk to school but this year, I want to walk as much as possible!

I had heaps of fun doing, iExperince and Jump Jam and all that. I feel like I can work on researching about Chinese New Year. Even though I do celebrate it, I want to know heaps more. 

In iExplore, I did a presentation about the dragon dances, Nian, lanterns and the zodiac signs.

I got Connected with Anjli because she was all alone and I felt sorry for her so I went up to her and spended some times with her.

I was Curious about Chinese New Year. It was awesome to learn about all of how they celebrate Chinese New Year.

I hope you enjoyed this reflection! Until my next blog, I'll see you all later! Bye!!

Here is a picture on our ideas about how India and NZ behave on the road. India has way more traffic than New Zealand. India has more air pollution than us. What I wish Indian would work on is the lanes. They should work on how they drive and traffic lightes, but heres the picture:

 

Chinese New Year: Nian

This is my silde about the Nian which is half lizard and half lion. We were working on a iExplore about Chinese New year. I hope you enjoy reading this silde. I worked on this with my friend Aleena. You may have heard about her heaps in my other blogs!!

Fact: The Nian hates light, nosie and the colour red. Thats why the colour red is a good luck colour on Chinese New year.

Hope you enjoy!

Week Reflection!!

This is my identity art. We did this to show people what we liked. Thos was for anyone to see since the learning coaches are going to pin it to the wall. 

We started off by folding the paper and out lining the art we want on it. We then started colouring. Last, we had to out line with a black marker to make it 'POP'!!!!!! Then, our work was put on the wall.

I really enjoyed doing this piece of art cause, we could use different colours and make it pop. I mist said, every colour really pops with all of the other colours.

So what I learned was, it doen't have to be prefect but it has to be at your best. It doesn't matter if your not good at art. You don't have to be embarrassed at how your art pieces look. It also doesn't matter if you haven't coloured inside the lines.

Now, what I would change is how the out lining looks. It looks bold and good but it was kind of weird seeing black maker on coloured areas, so I would change the out lining colour. I would also change how I did my name. I didn't know what would look good so I only just went for normal style, but next time, I would make it something different. Like to make bold writing, fancy writing or block writing. Any writing would be good but I would change it up. 

Tuesday: So for iExplore, we learned about deaf culture. We watched a vid on how a hearing aod was made and answered our questions.

Wednesday: For iExplore again, we did deaf culture. We continued answering out question and presented some of our answers to the whole group.

Thursday: For iExplore now, we did Waitangi Day. We had to pair up or get into a group and answer our questions. 

Firday: For iExplore again, we did Waitangi Day. We did a challenge and finished answering our questions.

For experience time, I did Twitter. We answered some questions and tweet some things on Twitter. I had to work with boys and Taanvi and I didn't get a turn. Tweeting tweets was super fun though. It was also fun to see all the post from the ret of the class. On the last day of our experience time, we did a blog about Twitter and what we learned.

I hope you enjoyed my blog today. Stay tune for a next blog. Bye!!!  

LH3's Blog about Twitter!!

Hi everyone, I'm Jasmine and today I am going to wirte a blog about my Twitter experience.

Twitter is a page where you can tweet you thoughts. Not really your thoughts but hash tags and short little comments to people out there. The letters were maximumed to 140 which, trust me, is not a lot. To me in the first place, I thought, short words seem short when you write them but when there was letter countings, it was suprising.

Yesterday, on my first leason, we learned about how to use Twitter and we got a intro into KidsedchatNZ which is a blog for kids. I had a lot of fun. Really, many students at our school haven't used Twitter before so I feel like it was a great experience for us. Even though most of us know what Twitter is or used it before.

KidsedchatNZ is a blog. You answer questions based on the topic of the day. The blog includes people  tweets from all around the world.

Our topic was Greatness. We watched a video talking about Greatness. We then answered some questions. The rest was home learning. We had to answer the rest of the questions at home.

Here are some example answers from the questions:

1. My nanny is the best cook in the world. She is so sweet and cares about my sister.

#kidsedchatnz @OrmPS

2. I want to improve on my basketball skills like throwing aim. #kidsedchatnz @OrmPS

3. I'm looking into Maths and Reading. Learning all the skills needed. #kidsedchatnz @OrmPS

You can veiw many comments from Twitter. Its really easy and lets you get ideas for your next tweet if you wish. You can veiw comments by going to the Me page and pressing tweets. It will show all the tweets so far from you and some from other people. You can also search up someone's Twitter page and press comments.

You can be Capable at being great by showing you care about your learning. Practice will make prefect and when you practice, your becoming the greatest you can be. Everyone is prefect but you all can become great. It does not matter of someone fails at something, at least they try and work hard.

Collaborating with people around you to be great if something everyone can do. Being great is not impossible. Anyone can be great and can improve pn anything. 

Here is a picture of how it will look like when you log in and search KidsedchatNZ:
