Week 6 reflection

This week in Te Kahu class we have been doing lots of work like our essential facts, spelling tasks and Ect.

Something I enjoyed doing this week was working more on my place value by using it to solve multiplication problems,I really enjoy doing place value because im really confident and it is really easy. something else I enjoyed this week was working on my spelling,I also like spelling because it helps me to get better and use it when we have spelling test Ect.

Something I found challenging this week was essential facts/multiplication.Because I did worst the last time we did it,my last score was 80 and my recent score was 30.How it made me feel was a little disappointing so I have to work on my multiplication more so next time I can get 100 out of 100.

One of my goals I have been improving on is my spelling work,I have getting better every week when I practice a new set of words every week and do three task.I also get someone to read my words to see if i can remember how to spell them.Spelling really isn't my favourite but I always try and practice to get better.

Showing the mercy value means to be true to yourself and every else and to show support and kindness every where you go. I've shown this value to my school teachers the students and my family.I helped my teachers by being on disciples when theirs not enough seniors or when there is no one doing it,Iv's also been helping my teacher fundraiser for our senior camp.I also have been helping all the other students when their injured by taking them to the sick bay or bringing them an ice-pack and telling them nicely to bee fair and nice to others to not hit each other and keep your hands to your self.At home iv'e just been helping my parent's with jobs to help around the house and looking after our new puppy.

Next week im really looking forward to far north swimming zones if coivd doesn't come back. Im also looking forward to all the other learning we are going to be doing next week in our classroom but I really want to do more R.E 

 

Week 5 reflection

What we did during week five was finishing our 2021 america's cup document learning about what compassion means to you and the special people in your life for R.E and make a boat float.   

Something I enjoyed was creating a piece of art I stared during the week about our pepeha it was very cool and fun to start making.I also enjoyed watching how long my boat was going to float it was a little hard to structure it on what I wanted it to look like on my plan but it actually lasted for a while and I was surprised.

Something I found challenging was Creating my first boat I rushed through my plan I didn't use a ruler to rule my lines and my measuring was and my measuring was a tiny bit off but my boat looked like it from from my plan.When I tested it to see how long it would float for without taking in any water,My goal was at lest 40 or 30 minutes but only lasted for 22 minutes and 30 seconds so I was satisfied with my time but I also needed to make some improvements.

I have been improving on my goals with place value by using it to solve big and small addition and subtraction basic facts.I also have been improving with my spelling over the past few weeks iv'e gotten better by doing 3  task for each set of words i chose each week and getting someone to read the words I have chosen for the week and try to remember how to spell each word. 

The mercy value means to be kind helpful and show the golden rule everywhere you go.I have shown the mercy values by Helping my parents at home by doing chores like the washing,Dishes,and vacuuming the house.I have also shown it in school by being on disciples to help teachers helping the younger students during play time and helping teachers if they need any help with anything.

What im looking forward to is swimming practice and more amazing learning.

Week 4 Reflection

My highlight this week was finishing a good amount of my contract work because i was working Interdependently  and realising I work better with other people I don't really work with and me just working only.

A challenge this week was learning how to work out place value with equations.But I gave it a try and I did really good for myself and understood how to work out equations with place value.

Something that I did in the footsteps of Jesus is show mercy in the school and outside of school and 

help the younger students and help learn the younger children the chant  for the day of our whole school swimming competition.

Iv'e shown the mercy value this week by helping the teachers and being helpful to the new students in our school. 

Weekly Reflection

 The highlight of my week was going to tech for the first time this week . It was really fun Because we did cool activities with Mr Subritzky.The most challenging thing this week was when we did maths groups with Whaea Danni because I couldn't understand what place value was.Something I want to work on next week is getting our whole house group to learn the chant for our whole school swimming competition so we are good to go.This week I have Shown the mercy value outside in the playground and helping the teachers.What my looking forward to next week is our swimming competition were having,because I would like to see every one enjoying themselves and being supportive on the day.

Angles

 In kakapo we are learning about angles acute and obtuse these two are very different to each other An Acute is less than 90 degrees which makes the degree of acute is 45 degrees

how to measure an angle is using a protactor this tool measures the angle that you are working on like the images down below, what you do first is put the centre of the protactor in the Conner of the angle and in the middle of the ruler starting from the bottom to the top it will tell the degree of the angle like 90 degrees 180 and ETC. An obtuse is another angle it is slightly bigger than others.It is more than 90 degrees and less that 180 degrees.

David Attenbrough/A life on our planet

 This week kakapo class has been watching a documentary about  environment crisis deforestation,plastic waste,coral dying,and the life of land and sea animals dying.The person studying this is David Attenbrough

He is a only person making the world a better place like he said if we look after mother nature it would look after us,in his younger years he studded about wild life in his late 20s discovering the world in his life time he doesn't count him self as an animal lover but he has be fascinated about them.

In the documentary he talks about golbel warming as people create machines to help people to be more efficient and live life easier but the gases being released into the atmosphere then  breaking the ozone layer making the ice melt then just becoming nothing.

The coral reefs dying the beauty that lives inside it is very sad because the  ocean was warming,if the ocean  is warming that means coral reefs will turn white then will be dark black and all marine animals will have no homes or food to eat.

The waste of plastic,People poullout all most everyday the amount of plastic world wide is 250 million a day plastic is made out of materials like cellulose,coal,natural gas and salt.Plastic is very dangerous because Marine life will die because they think its food so they decide to eat it then couple of days the plastic inside them will break down making the tiny plastic will go somewhere else in there body then they will die.

And then in the end he said "If we look after mother nature it would look after us"

David Attenbrough Quote.

 

Native planting

On Tuesday the 15th of September our class got an opportunity to go down lake Nagatu and help plant native plants with bushlands trust summit forest what were planting were Manuka,Kanuka,harakeke/Flax,Ti kouka/cabbage tree,karaka and houpara.When we all arrived the people from bushlands trust talked about what were doing they also talked about some other things about the lake,As they were talking the area we were planting in was a public space where people can go for walks.Then after talking about what we are doing we all went to go and get shovels to dig holes for the plants then we were stuck into it most of us were at the top of the hill then some in the middle and me and my friends were at the bottom working our way up.After couple minutes most of the plants were planted and we planted around 800 in 20 or 30 minutes then every one started to take little breaks going to the bathroom drink of water and then going back to work.After a few more minutes we were finshed we lined up in front of the truck and took a group photo then we had a little treat from our teacher after our treat we had to go and give a big thanks to bushlands trust and summit forest.Then before we had to go eat our lunch we had to wash our hands then go eat then we went back to school and i felt great about that because we were giving back to the environment.
