Goal Your Learning!

What:
This week, we all went swimming. It's every Monday from now on! It was super fun and I really enjoyed teaching others and myself this week Monday.

So What:

I learned so much and if you were all wonder, what was the purpose? Well, what if we couldn't swim. Learning how to swimming is important because we could live if we were out at sea because we know how to swim!!

I learned how to kick in the water and how to do my free style. I also learned how to glide with the help of a board to keep my balance.

Now What:

I want to learn how to:

1. Learn how to hold my breath for longer

2. Learn how to kick my feet in the water for longer

3. Learn how to do my free styles better

I want to explore how the Otara Pool and Leisure Centre community began?!

Own Your Learning!!

Hi everyone! Today is yet another reflection. 

WHAT:

I have been doing my geometry challenge and had just finished writing all of my explanations in my book. The next thing we have to do is make a book using 10 chosen words from the list of geometry words. 

Another thing I've done this week is, since it's NZSL week, we have been doing activities. I was in charge of the bing-go and NZSL conversation. It was pretty #oresome to see all of our learners signing. 

SO WHAT:

This week was NZSL week which is also known as sign language week. We did this because it was part of sign language and we would also like to see our students signing to each other. We all know a bit of sign language. Most of us know heaps like Ash and Aleena.

The learning I got out of this was learning how to sign and be able to talk to our deaf learners. 

WHAT NOW:

The things I still need to complete with my geometry challenge is my book.

I want to explore the world of sign language and how people founded out that it existed. I also want to learn how to sign more. 

Term 2 Reflection!

Hi everyone!

What:
The first day of school felt normal for me. I was excited to see Ms Pearsen and Mrs Jensen and also my friends.

We talked about what would be happening throug the week and some things that were new around our learning area.

Through the rest of the week we started doing some #oresome things. We did a Anzac challenge and so we had to do 4 good quality activities. We practiced for cross country (which also means we ran and ran and ran!) We also started doing a geometry. I had to find out what the geometry related words meant and then I would have to choose 10 words to create a book for the little ones.


 So what:
I think the purpose of these activities was to challenge us and see what level high work quality we could do.

The learning I got out of the Anzac challenge was to challenge myself and learn a lot mroe about Anzac day.

The learning I got out our geometry work was, understanding the keywords of geometry so in our future we wouldn't get confused and we would know the answer right away if someone asked us.

Now what:
For my Anzac challenge, what I want to learn out of that is how productive these challenges actually are.

For my geometry work, i want to know more different shapes and the words that fit with it. I also want to see how many different geometry shapes and different words there are.

ANZAC Reflection

Hi everyone!! ANZAC is coming up in the hoildays and we were asked, 'What does ANZAC mean to me?' A lot of people sometimes never celebrate Anzac day but I'm pretty sure people know what Anzac means to them.

Here is my reply:

What ANZAC means to me is blessing soldiers that died in the world war. It is the remember them and be thankful for what they went through. I would bake Anzac cookies with my family and I would also craft some paper poppys. Being grateful for your friends and family is important. A lot of familys have lost their relationship between the person they love and even though their gone, they still bless them and remember them.

Anything you make or bake could mean something to the people that went through war!

Mrs Jensen and Ms Pearson!

In LH3, Mrs Jensen and Ms Pearson are our learning coaches. 

Mrs Jensen:

Shes sweet and kind

She is caring and stands up for us

She gives me such good learning 

She also gives me such good advice

She includes others

She shows all of the 4 C's

Ms Pearson:

She gives good advice

She solves problems very quickly 

She thinks very quickly about things

She shows all of the 4 C's

She always seems to mention me, which makes me HAPPY!

To Mrs Jensen and Ms Pearson:

You guys are awesome learning coaches. I had such a good term with you guys and I'm hoping it will continue on until the end of the year!

End of Term 1 reflection number 2!

Welcome back! If you checked out my other term one reflection, then you know whats coming up! If you don't know, I'm listing some Pros and Cons of this term. Hope you enjoy!

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

1. I had good friends that cared about me and was very helpful!

2. I got good learning out of this term!

3. I had #oresome learning experiences with English, Maths, iExplore time and also iExperince time.

4. Mrs Jensen and Ms Pearson were #oresome this term and I'm hoping they would still be awesome next term as well.

Cons: 

1. I found maths kind of hard! But i got through it!

2. Sometimes, I felt lonely because all of my friends had clubs, basketball or netball.

3. I didn't like p.e in the first place because I already knew what the rules were and how to play!

4. Meeting new learners were hard because, when they meet you, they follow you and ALWAYS count on YOU!

Hope you enjoyed those Pros and Cons about my term 1. Everyone has their own Pros and Cons about their first term. 

End of Term 1 reflection!

Hi everyone! So you may already know, but, it is right now the last week of Term 1. I'm super excited for the hoildays. I sometimes find the hoildays kind of boring!

Here are some of my favourites things i've done during the term:

1. Meeting friends was scary for me. Even meeting new Learning Coaches.

2. Learning things that I've learned or heard about!

Here are some expectation vs realitys that I expected on the first day in Learning Habitat 3:

Expectation: Knowing that your friends would just run up to you and hug you!

Reality: Friends don't care!

Expectation: Getting new and awesome school supplies!

Reality: Mom is TOO busy!

Expectation: Getting to know your learning coaches right away!

Reality: Learning coaches don't notice us!

This is just my first words for Term 1. My next reflection would be about Pros and Cons! 

Stay tuned! See ya!
