Athletics

Description: Yesterday we did athletics we went to massy university to do it on their big running track we got free sausages and it was really cool we did lots of activities such as high jump, hurdles, running, shot put.

• Athletics Reflection:
• What was the most enjoyable part of athletics for you? Why? When I finished running because I new that it was all over and I did not have to run any more except for hurdles because I was really tired.
• What are you really proud of? Why? When I did my shot put because Kerri my Mum and I thought that I was really good at it but if I tried hard enough at the start I could have won a point for my team.
• What was the most challenging part? Why? Running because when every one past me I could not catch up and then I got stitch and it really hurt.
• Where to now? What are your goals for next time? Why do you want to focus on this? I think that next time I could maybe not sprint to hard at the start because then I ran out of breath on the second lap and thats what made me get stitch.

Risk Teaching

Description: A few weeks ago some of the year sixes have been chosen to take some risks. my risk was singing in front of a audience we had to do our risk through that week in the end we had to write down on our action sheet. A action sheet is about you recording what you have chosen and why and how you went through your risk and how you went with it. now we have been chosen to be teachers to the people who was not chosen to let them make there own risks and to think about how they can accomplish their risk. My student that I am helping to be a risk taker is Rebekah O here is her action plan of what risk she is doing and how she will accomplish it. also here are some pictures of us working together and trying to make her become a risk taker in her learning.

Kapa Haka

Description: For Kapa Haka this term we have made a new song called paneketanga based on this terms goal (excellence).the song was based on the song Hall Of Fame. We had both a day performance and a live performance. My highlight was how we all worked together and we tried our best to keep on time with each other and what I found challenging was to remember all the lyrics to the song because it was really hard. Here are our performances.

Day Performance
 Live performance

Feedback\Feedforward: Nice performance and I really liked your description and there is no feed forward. -Renae

Evaluation: Thanks Renea I think I had a good description too... but I think that I need a bit of feedforward next time because I think that in the performance I should have beed a bit louder but anyways thanks.

Art With Nic And Troy

Description: For art this term we have been working on some self portraits. I think I showed excellence by using techniques that I don't usually use in my art so I think that that shows that I learnt something new in my learning.

 

Feedback&Feedforward: i love your art, i think you have done every thing that Nic has told you to,
i really love all the detail on on your face, to look at you and your self portrait it is like a identical twin, next time i think you explain more what you had to do more in the description what was your task, and it is good to know that you did knew things that you have not done before, Good job Gaby. Libby

Evaluation: Thank you Libby for the feedback and feedforward I agree that next time I should do more in my description and I like the detail on my face too and again thank you I really hoped you would like my art.

Writing With Nic

Description: For writing this term we have been writing about a scene and our scene with Nic is a jungle and my story is about a girl getting lost I did not write what her name was or what she looked like because that is what the readers have to imagine here is my story I hope you like it.





Feedback&Feedforward: great work Gaby i love the way how you have described your story and where you are and how you feel, and i have no feedback for you all I have no it is great. Libby.

Book Buddies

Description: This term we have been doing this thing called book buddies. book buddies is something when everyone gets a buddy and they both get the same book that they have agreed on and they have to read it but they have to keep in time with each other  so lets say if i'm on chapter ten and my buddies on chapter five I would have to wait till they catch up and also we have a slide so we can keep track on whats going on in the book my buddy is Caitlin we both chose BFG the book written by Roald Dahl and so far we both love it we also got to choose a group name our group name is The Spectacular Readers! We both quite like the name because it is unique but here is our slide that we made for our reading.

Measurement

Evaluation: This term for our rich task we were learning about measurement we got a test to fill in and then we were told to say where we thing we were while doing our learning like if we hardly did anything we would put our paper in HELP ME! or if you did some you would be in IM STARTED! or  if you are almost there you would put your paper in ALMOST THERE! but if you finished you would put your paper in MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! for my first one I put mine in Help me because I did not really understand the questions but in my second one I put it in almost there because then I understood what the questions were and how to do it.

Discovery Time Week 2

Description: Today we had Discovery time I was sewing (again... sorry I just really like sewing) I made a bow tie for my dad and a pillow for my little brother. I like sewing and I think I am really good at it I think I am going to sew for a living when I grow up. Here are some photos of my work...

Image:

Evaluation: I think I did quite good on my pillows but next time I think that I should do something else then sewing but what I found challenging was trying to stay on the lines and with sewing the V on for my little brothers pillow I found it hard because I had to try to keep focus on what I was doing so I would not go through the whole pillow.

Discovery Time

Description: Today we had discovery time discovery time is like a free time but you have to be doing things that are on a list of activities and you have to be doing something that you have not done before or if you have not done is bye your self! I tried sewing and I did quite good making some pillows and toys for my friends and family that did not get the chance to make anything!

Here is a photo of some things I make...

Image:

I made a heart pillow for my Mum a stripy heart for my sister a stripy truck for my little brother and a fish for my friend Ruby but the fish is not in the photo.









Evaluation: I think I did good because some people only did one or two things but I can't blame them I was sewing that whole time but sorry I cant help it I just really like sewing!

Feedback:I LOVE YOUR SEWING it is Amazing. Kiana
Feedforward: I dont know what u did wrong. Kiana
