Jump Jam & iActive Leader Narrative Assessment

This weeks AWESOME reflection!!

Welcome back to another weekly reflection. Todays topic is about SCIENCE🤓!!!!!

What: today i'll be talking about science. So today, i had science club. It was a lot of fun. We had to recap what we did last week. Anjli and I did the vinegar and baking soda balloon experiment. 

Here is how to make this science experiment happen:

What you will need:

Balloons, baking soda, vinegar, little soda bottles

Steps:

1. First, fill your balloons up with baking soda. The way we founded easy was to full a cap up with baking soda and stretch the balloon over he top of the cap and then tip it unpside down!

2. Full your mini soda bottles a third or a quarter full of vinegar. 

3. Stretch the balloon over the to of your soda bottle and them tip the balloon so the baking soda goes into the bottle. The baking soda and vinegar will react with eachother and create gas that will fill up the balloon. 

So what: i choose to do this because I love science and its fun to see the cool experiment work. My favourite was the coke and mento even though i didn't do it, it looked and seemed fun.

Now what: what i would work on now with my experiment is to figure out what is the best amount of vinegar i should put into the bottle and also how much baking soda i put into the balloons.

Anjli and i tried one with heaps of vinegar and one with less vinegar. The one with less vinegar worked best. It blew up the balloon more than how we did it last time. The bottle with heaps of vinegar didn't work as well. I think it didn't work because insode the balloon, there was less baking soad than vineger. It only blew up just a tiny bit.

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:
