We are learning how to teach our fellow students of EPS what to do in an emergency this is our script. I found it okay with cooperating with my group and it was easy to write the script because it we had an idea from this video  that we saw on youtube.

Maths Problem

Reflection

I was learning how to make a square with 15 by 15 square and etc.. I found this easy because what I did was found the dynamiter of the square and my group just remembered that Mrs Graham told us  to work around the 1 by 1 square. My next step is to work on the extension problem and try to use a similar type of strategy.  

Daffodil Diamante Poem

Reflection

I was learning how to write a diamante poem. I found this interesting because I had never done this type of poem before and I thought it was really cool. I found this really easy because we did a plan with nouns, adjectives and verbs. Now I plan to write a antonym  poem.

Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example

Reflection

I was learning how to do a prejudice example. I found this really easy because I understood the character of Matt really.  Since the beginning of the book Juzza had judged Matt so I knew what to do. My next step is to understand a more difficult character by using the same prejudice technique.

Volcano Art

Reflection

We have been learning how to apply paint.  We learnt two techniques, dabbing with a sponge and dragging with cardboard.  What I found really fun was the sponge painting and the one I found tricky was the dragging techniques because the paint got everywhere.

My 2014 speech

Reflection

We have been learning how to write an effective speech.  I found this easy because I understood my topic really well and I even really believed about my topic ( Why education is important ).  I began  my speech with a question or a imaginative thought I supported it with lots of information about why it is important and I ended my speech with a saying type of thing so people have something to think about.  Next time I could back my speech up with expert evidence and that will give a more effect on my main points. 

Leadership Week

This is a photo of us with Sally from Frucor.  She came here to talk to us about how leaders are and how we have a comfort zone a dangerous zone and the challenge zone we are suppose to be in the challenge zone she talked to us about her experiences and her challenges.  I really enjoyed it.

Natural Disaster brainstorm

Reflection

 I have been learning to summarise and record my research in my own words.  I found summarising the information into my own words easy because my group was co-operating really well.  We were working together and everyone got a chance to share there information so everything was easy to find.  I found this interesting because I got to know that in Wellington there are blue lines to tell you in that area is safe or not.  We also found out that sometimes if earthquakes hits the ocean that can cause a tsunami.  I still want to learn more about tsunamis.  My next step is to gather even more information about tsunami.

I was learning how to use mu senses to add detail to my writing so that I can make my writing interesting for my reader. I found it easy to use my senses in my writing because I did a brain storm and it really helped me organise my writing to know where I can include my senses in my writing.I am really proud of my writing and my classmates did an awesome job too. I really liked their special places to.

                                                                  Reflection
I was learning how to do show don't tell writing.  I found it quiet tricky because I couldn't do the part where I can't tell my feelings in one word. What I could of done different is ask someone to help think of other words and other sentences. My next step is to know to ask people if I need help and have a little bit more of show don't tell.

Comparing Fractions

Reflection

I am learning how to compare fractions. I found this work quiet easy because I drew a pizza that helped me find the answer quicker and I already knew that maybe they might be even because of the numerator and the denominator. What my next step would be is to compare with larger amount of fractions.

                                                                        Reflection

Kennings Poem!!!

Reflection

I was learning how to write a kennings poem. I felt that I couldn't find the perfect verb to describe what I liked so I could of done better than I did. It was quiet challenging. Where I got stuck was when I had to find the verbs to describe myself.The thing I could of done differently is that I could of asked the teacher to help me find some verbs or I could  asked one of my friends. My next step is to dig deeper to find better verbs and ask someone for help.

My Reflection

I was learning to write a Did You Ever poem.I felt that I knew was supposed to do because I knew what nouns were and it wasn't so hard .My next step is to challenge myself more by using some better describing words because I didn't have to think much.
