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.

This fortnights Tōtara goal was Time Management and I achieved/showed this by... I think I showed this by trying everything and making sure that I worked in a spot where it was not distracting or where I would not get anything done.

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.

A school value that I have worked hard at achieving this week is… (add evidence and a brief explanation) This week I have tried to work on is create because for passion projects Lily and I are making clay animals that are from a jungle.

A school value that I need to work on is… (explain why) The school value I think I need to work is connect because I haven't been connecting with much people only the people that I know I am playing with not anyone new.

This fortnights Tōtara goal was Time Management and I achieved/showed this by... I think I have sort of achieved this because sometimes these weeks I wasn't using my time wisely but as the weeks has gone on I have learnt to make sure I am working in a spot where I can concentrate on what I need to do.

What is my personal goal for next week? My personal goal for next week is to make sure I am connecting more with people and the environment and to also still use my time wisely and make sure I am not getting distracted by my friends.
