( DLO ) Reflection.

Yellow Hat - I enjoyed working alongside Alex ( My DLO Partner) also animating and editing together for the movie.

Blue Hat - I didn't like the fact that  we didn't have enough time to do a proper animation. But I think personally that Alexandria and I should've used our time wisely.

Green Hat - The thing I found interesting was as we were animating and creating our DLO we learned a lot about Martin Luther King , like where he came from, what was his speech about, who he  was he married etc.

White Hat - I learned alot of things, I learned that Martin Luther King was a hero and he brought peace to America.

My Maths Strategy ( DLO )

So Dairy one sells 36 ice blocks and 3/4 of these ice blocks are raspberry. Dairy Two sells 28 ice blocks and 3/7 of these are raspberry. Which dairy sells the most raspberry ice blocks??

Dairy One: Well first of all I know that 9 times 4 equals 36 and 9 times 3 equals 27 so there is 27 raspberry ice blocks for dairy one.

Dairy Two: First of all I know that 28 divide 7 equals 4 and 4 times 3 equals 12 so there is 12 raspberry ice blocks in dairy two.

So Dairy One wins because Dairy one has 27 raspberry ice blocks and Dairy Two only has 12.

Cross Country 2013

It was a really exciting day as all of  us house captains were real eager to cheer and support our house.

The sun just shone down on us while we were waiting for Mr Burt to arrive. The juniors  were first up they looked a bit nervous at first,  but they seemed really happy and proud not to mention tired after the race . The order was juniors first and seniors last. 

For me personally the cross country run was actually really cool, there were times when I was just completely worn out and couldn't breathe but yeah it was a good exercise and it was like a test for fitness but I completed it and made it past the finish line. 

I was really proud of my house ' Te Arawa'  especially how I was given the Opportunity to lead this house as a house captain and since I wont be attending next years cross country I wish them all the best and I hope they keep up their fitness so that they are well on there way to being ' Fit For Life!'  Go Te Arawa!!! (:

Maths Goals Term 3

This term I will be more quiet, I will listen and focus when learning new strategies.  I will be more consistent attending classes. I will try my best to be at year 8 or above at the end of the year. Decimals and Percentages are my main focus so hopefully I can get past that.

My Next Steps

In Room 22 we have been working hard and aiming higher in maths. He has been teaching us new strategies each day and  has filed all our knowledge and information on a presentation that tracks our success so that at the end of the year we will know if we have achieved or not.  This presentation helps us children including myself to accelerate and to know exactly what I'm looking at doing better at. For example the green shows what strategies I'm good at , the red shows you what I need working on and what I need to pay more attention to and last but not least the yellow simply means that I sort of know it but need to learn more of it.

Reflection

Yellow Hat -  I enjoyed working alongside my friends,I also  enjoyed learning new patterns and what they mean.

Black Hat - I didn’t like the fact that we had to write a reflection instead of finishing off our work, but in the other hand it was our own fault because we didn’t clean our mess up properly.

Green Hat - The thing that I found interesting about this week was all the different patterns and symbols that came and were used way before our time and even now as we speak they still use these for specials occasions in the islands.

White Hat -  I learned new patterns and the story behind each pattern that I used in my art work.

Term 2 Maths Goals

Next term  I will be more consistant and I will be more committed to finishing and completing the maths tasks that I have been given to complete. I also need to contribute ideas and thoughts to our maths group when working with Mr Barks. I really need to focus more during class and I am looking to  be at the right level for my year in maths.  I need to focus more when learning about decimals and fractions seeing that they're the things I struggle with the most.
