Reflecting on our W.I.T. Learning

Please answer these questions as a group using one device. Write down your honest thoughts. It is important we learn from our mistakes and errors so that we can do a better job next time (Growth Mindset).

Please record your ideas in proper sentences. When you have finished, please share it with me and each other so you all have a copy in your google drive. You can also paste a copy onto your blog with a link to your google site.

How did your group work together? (Did you cooperate, share the work, stay on task, persist when things got hard? Were you open-minded to each others’ ideas? How did you show empathy?) Didn't cooperate so well at the start but worked together better towards the end because we communicated better,most of the time we were on task but sometimes we would get off task and distracted.

What were you pleased about in following the Te Ara Tika pathway to learn about first aid? (Think about each of the steps - what steps did you do well or made progress with? We were pleased about our videos that we created using imovie because we double validated on broken bones and choking so we would get it right on the google site.

What skills in the Te Ara Tika pathway do you think you need to improve on and why? We need to work on our researching because it took so long to do and we could not find the right type of info fast enough.

Now think about your google site. What are you really pleased about or had success with? Our videos were really good once we took our time a bit more because we had lots of bloopers and that made us think about what we were doing more. One of the things that went well in our videos was that we tried to make it as real as possible so in a real time that it happens there know what to do.

What do you think needs to be improved on your google site? We don’t need to change anything because we are happy with what we got.

Do you think your first aid google site does a good job of “effectively communicating” first aid skills? Why or why not? (Would you be happy with people using it to “Save a Mate”? Yes because on the google site it makes us think about what we write before it is published, and in the video it is good because it gets us to speak clearer in the video and think about what we are saying.

What is one thing (skills, learning attitude) that each of you needs to improve on in our next W.I.T.? (Record each of your names with the thing to be improved) Effective communicator is our group skill we need to work on because in wit someone would go off and do something without the group knowing what they are doing.

Multiplying tenths in decimals

In a trench,In war (Moment in time)

I felt sweat pouring down my face as fast as a cheetah.Then I saw bodies that were shredded all around me in the trench. Deep screams of pain filled the air.All I  wondered will I ever survive this horrible war. My face was covered in fear as I looked to my friend. Sounded as though my friend was having an asthma attack the way he was heavily breathing.

Guns fired towards me,almost every second a got a fright of bullets.Goosebumps rised up my back at the speed of light. The ground crumbled below me like an earthquake.Hearing bombs explode every millisecond. I  stared into thin air just thinking about what will happen when i get out of the trench.my eyes filled up with water,as I gazed into the light.Shells expolded above me.

Learning this term

This term I have really enjoyed learning about decimals more.Last year I learnt a lot about decimals but forgot my knowledge of decimals.I spoke to Mr Anderson about it and he taught me and my group more about decimals.I found it fun because I knew a bit about it,and its not hard to learn when Mr A explained about decimals.Once you learn about decimals they are easy.I knew about tenths and adding tenths and wholes but I need to work of adding hundredths.Now I have learnt to add hundredths in a decimal,I taught other people how.I have really enjoyed learning about decimals this term.



I have made very good progress this term with my times tables.I have learnt in two weeks the 6 and 4 times table and division.I have been working on my times table and division at home and it really helped.I worked every night and I worked on them at school.I need to learn and practice my times tables and division more because they really help my knowledge toolkit.Next term I am going to start to learn my 7 and 8 times table  and division.

Personal Voice

Personal Voice.....

In class lately we have been learning about personal voice.Personal voice is all about writing about your feelings,emotions,thoughts,opinions.You add in what you would say or do.Another part of personal voice is to make sure the reader knows how you are feeling at different times in the text. 

(e.g) The dog ran so fast,the collar slipped of its head! By this time I was freaking out!

 

In that sentence I was freaking out because the collar had slipped off the dogs head.That is personal voice,since I was letting the reader know exactly how I felt.

Before Camp

On Tuesday my class and few other classes are going on a school camp.

We have activity groups and each group do different  at a time.I am excited for doing the water slide,because I have seen images and its looks really long and fun.I am also excited about archery,because I do archery and I like doing archery.I am very excited about making the raft, because last year we went on camp and made  rafts and it was very fun.

I'm not excited if I  fall out of the kayak because  there are Eels  and the water is very brown.

Some of the activity were:

Archery

Eeling  

kayaking 

raft making

And more.....

I like going to camp,because Its really fun,you learn lots of different things and It teaches you independents.
I am feeling excited about all the nature surrounding us.There is lots of bush and I am really looking forward to everything!

I hope everyone has a great time at camp and enjoys them self.
