Week 10/11 Weekly Reflection

Tōtara Weekly Reflection

Term: 1               Week: 10/11

Some work I am proud of… During weeks 10/11 I am proud of my inquiry because with my group we had persevered especially when we didn't know what to do. Also with inquiry I'm proud of what we have accomplished with our final outcome.

Here is my Personal Inquiry … For my inquiry my group and I did a volcano that exploded facts about our big question we were researching and we also made a newspaper all about rocks and were they are made from.

Reflecting on my Inquiry, I have … Think I have done well with participating in my group and focusing on my work and what I need to do during our time that we had for each inquiry session. I think I need to work on I am doing everything that we need to do not making everyone do one thing, make sure that everyone does everything.

Here is my Passion Project … I think that I did well with getting all thehot gluing and getting all the props that we needed for our project to make it look like a realistic jungle with clay.

Reflecting on my Passion Project, I have … I liked the way that we both tried to make our clay animals really detailed because it would look so much better in our jungle scene we were making.

Reflecting on my term, I have … I think during the term I have showed most of our school values everyday. I also think I did well this term with showing quality in all my work I completed. I think I need to work on taking more oppotunitys in school.

In the holidays, I am doing… (a brief explanation)

Geometry Maths Week 4 Sample

Geometry

During Maths week (week 4), we have been focussing on Geometry. We had a choice of 10 different Geometry based activities. We needed to select 5 different activities and provide evidence when completed. 

The evidence I collected:

What I enjoyed about this maths week was:

The thing that I enjoyed about maths week was doing all the fun activitys we 

could do.  My favourite activity we did was trying to try to make/create the other half of the owl and try to make it semetal to what the first half of the owl looked like.  I also really liked roming around the school trying to find lost of circles and squares/even side things for the scanvenger hunt!

What challenged me during this week:

The thing that challenged me this week was making testilations with the shapes because it was firstly hard to decide what shape or flower pattern to create.  It was also hard trying to find all the shapes that can fit in together and make a semetracal shape.

My next step in Geometry is:

To try to challenge myself with whatever I am doing so then it isn't as easy for me to complete all the tasks that are assined to us.  I also think that I could do it with more friends just in case I get stuck on one of my activitys that I am doing.  Lastly I think I should use my time wisely and not muck around joking with my friends.

Weekly Reflection 3/4 Week

WEEKLY REFLECTION

Something I enjoyed from week 3 and 4:

I have enjoyed doing my calender art and being creative in my ideas.  I also really liked while I was doing my calender art and colouring in my work with lots of different colours and making my art really pop art!!!!!! 

Something that challenged me during week 3 and 4:

The thing that has challenged me the most is trying to find the time to finish my reading hopscotch and doing it to the best of my ability's.  I think I need to use more of my time management so I can actually get my work done.  I lastly think I need to try harder when doing my reading hopscotch.

A value I have been showing consistently and how:

The value I have been showing during weeks 3/4 is Respect because currently 

my group LEEP and I have been going to the Darnley club.  Which is a place where elderly's go and get looked after.  We go to the Darnely club once a week on Thursdays 10:30am to 12:00pm.

A value that I think I need to improve on and how:

A value that I think I need to work on is create because especially at technology I haven't been creative with my ideas and what we are doing.  I also think I need to be more creative in the classroom because I am currently being really plain with my ideas and work.

Week 7 Weekly Reflection

Tōtara Weekly Reflection

Term: 1               Week: 7

Some work I am proud of… (add evidence and a brief explanation)

I am proud of my writing about our natural disasters because I think that my journal that I am doing is interesting to read and it represents my character well. Here is an some of my draft...

‘Science in Van’ were at school and I learnt...

How to make the force of something go faster or have more power to go where it needs to be. If you want something to go faster or have more power you have to put less things in something to make it easier to left or push. I also learnt that one nail will go straight through the skin because of all of your weight, but if somebody sits on hundreds of nails it won't go through there skin.

Our inquiry is about geology and our world… (what’s some new I have learned)

I have learnt that there is a lot of natural disasters that relate to some other natural disasters like... wind tunnel and tornado they are like the same things. I also learnt that here is three different plates like... the divergent plate, convergent plate and the transform plate.

What is my personal goal for next week?

My goal for next is to manage my self and show respect and all of my values all of the time not just when the teacher is looking. I also think I need to work with people I won't get distracted by.

Here is the start of my story.... Shivering in fear I heard the exiting and nerve wracking news "group four is doing high ropes for there next rotation" the teacher informed.

Something that has challenged me this week is… (explain why)

The thing that has most challenged me this week is getting all my work quality and done on time this is because I have been getting distracted from my friends and I am working in places I do not work well in.
