Te Ahu a Turanga Noho Marae

Description:

In week 7, we had an overnight stay at the local Marae in Woodville.  We were immersed in Maori culture and participated in a range of activities.  We set two goals to focus on during our stay.

Image: 




We had to make a book mark about the Marae and what we did.
I did mine about the Marae and the face of the Marae and the 
gorge walk the we went on. 

Big Idea:  

1.  Did you achieve your goals?  How do you know? I think I achieve my goal because made 2 new friends. 

2.  What are you most proud of from the marae stay and why? Achieving the stilts because I have never done them before. 

3.  What challenged you the most and why?

Transformation

Description:  

We have been learning about transformation.  We have specifically learnt that...

• translation is when an object slides in any direction;
• rotation is when an object is turned around a central point;
• reflection is when an object is flipped and has a line of symmetry.

Our challenge was to design a car badge that contained at least one of these aspects of transformation.

Feedback/Feedfoward:
I like how you have made sure the owls are showing reflection but next time you should make the s's  show reflecton. but otherwise it's awesome - Aria

Evaluation

My Reading Goal

Description:
In class we did a star test. We used our results to form a reading goal.

Big Idea: My goal for reading is Comprehension.
This means to understand more of what I read.
I need to make a picture or metal image

Here is a photo of my star test.

Swimming Smart Goals

Description:
For the last few weeks we have been do swimming in our school pool. We have be working on freestyle and backstroke. Our swimming days are Wensday Thursday and Friday. I'm good at remembering my togs every day we go swimming.

Here is my video!!!



My goal in freestyle is to look down not up so then
the water doesn't stop at my head. I will do this by wearing goggles so I can see.

My goal in backstroke is to keep my tummy and
hips up and out of the water. To get better at this I will push my tummy out of water.

My goal for swimming sports goal is to at least swim in two heats. To get better at this I will put my hand up for the events and give it my all.





Evaluation: I think I could work on not wiggle my bottom
because thats what make me go wonky.

Math Goals

Description: We have been doing some tests to find out what we need to get better at. These were knowledge tests-we need to know these things within 3 seconds.

The pink highlighter is the thing that I need to work on (this only apply's for test 2) So I need to work on division and multiplication facts. I will do this by practicing 5 to 10 minute's every day and I know I have got better because I know them in 3 seconds.

Here is the first test we did.

This is my second test which I did get over 80% on so I didn't get up to stage 6. So I'm on stage 5.
