#BOOKCLUB!

My Book Club novel is: Lost (chrome)

---

Backward-Looking:

How much did you know about Book Club before we started?

I didn't know anything but I knew if I read it I will get some idea’s about it. Even though aI was so excited about the book I wanted to read it. Also when I started reading this book at made me wanted to read more and more books.

---

Inward-Looking:

What were your goals for Reading and Book Club? Have your goals changed? Are you on track to meet your goals?

My goal for book club was to  read a lot of pages in a short time. I think I am on track to meeting my goal because I have read  more pages than I thought I would have been able to read.

Outward-Looking:

If you were the teacher, what comments would you make about your learning so far?

Looking at my progress has changed my learning to level 1 to level 3, by reading books all the time and focusing. Book club has changed my goals to move on to higher level and that what helps me to focus and stay on track.

---

Forward-Looking:

As you look at your work so far, what's one thing that you would like to try to improve upon?

One thing that I would like to improve is finding out why did the author wrote this what was his purpose about this book. Another thing that I would like to improve is help my teammates finish their tasks so we can move on to read another book and find interesting facts.

Xtramaths Certificate!

This is my certificate award on Xtramths. Starting of begining of the term, maths was really hard for me until I used a website called Xtramaths. It has helped my because it tells how well am I am going and it shows my progress. Also it shows my next step for me.

My reflection about genius hour!

This is my reflection about Genius Hour. It is about what I was doing and why was I doing this and now what! In the last few weeks I and McCahon class have been doing a project what they wanted to learn about. MOst of us have done a project together and we share our ideas and we collaborate. I hope you enjoy it!

What: What I was doing today was I was busy focusing on my genius hour. what is a genius hour? It is a project where we have all our ideas about what you want to learn about. What I meant about what we want to learn about you can learn anything what you want. My topic was about why do we need lungs and why is our blood red and our vein blue! I was looking for information and some images and I found some interesting things.




So what:I was doing this because I never had a chance finding out what I wanted so I did this. I really helps me because I learnt staff that I never learnt. Another reason why I was doing this was that I wanted to learn about the body features and my most topic was why do we need lungs and why is our vein blue?


Now what:What am I gonna do next is to find out more and more details and use all my created ideas and put it on my presentation. Once my presentation is done, next I am going to learn about space and the solar system.

My Slam poetry

The last few weeks, Mccahon class have been doing some slam poetry in writing. This slam poetry is about what do you want to be so I chosen being a drummer.I chose drumming becauase that was my passion.Why I chosen this because some student at Hay Park School and May Road School went down to wellington to perform for the the Big Bang festival. We were called the battrie 100! I hope you enjoy my slam poetry!

Trip to May Road School.

What?

Earlier this morning we had a walking exercise all the way to May Road School. We were doing an amazing genius hour project.Genius hour project is something that you really want to know that you never know and you create it.It was really interesting going there because we learn things and we got to make new friends!I enjoyed going there and what we did was collaborating in groups about staff that we wanted to learn about! I have learn many things about music,human body,space and different things. I was really into it because the people I know had different ideas.I love doing this again and I hope we could still continuing it.

So what?

Collaborating with May Road was the first time in Hay Park School. We got to know each other and had a warm up game. We started of genius hour and started learning about staff that we wanted to learn.Looking at other people’s idea was really interesting. We were doing this because we were working on a genius hour about the things that we wanted to learn.

Now what?

Now what I hoping for is to start sharing our ideas and sharing our creating things. I have learn a little bit of things because we just started. I have learned from it and now I want to learn more and more things.

This is my writing about a trip to May Road School! We have learnt many things by collaborating.I hope we can do this again and I enjoyed doing this.

I wonder?

Here is my brain storm about I wonder question. What was I learning was about how many I wonder question that are Googleable  and what I wonder question are Ungoogleable.McCahon and I are doing this because we are we are doing a project with May Road school.I have been looking forward doing this project and it is really interesting. Some of my question are mostly about the future! I love doing project with other people and sharing it to other's because we collaborate and share our ideas and that means we are learning and being focus! I hope you enjoyed it!

Coral reefs from around the world

This term our class has been learning about the noisy reef.Did you know that the largest reef around the world is the great barrier reef that is in Australia.

This is my XtraMath certificate. What I had to do to get my certificate was that I had to correct all my question and if it all green that means I have past my mission. It helped my because the first time I was struggling and then when I starting to get use to it, it helped my learning.

My key competencies word cloud.

I like to take opportunities to make my family and Hay park proud.  Being a positive learner helps me to learn new things and appreciate the opportunities that I have been given.

Now, I can communicate with others when I am in a group. Over the term I have learned how to share idea’s and listen to others.  In groups we collaborate by respecting others, asking questions and supporting each other. I can participate both in group work and sports games.

When I am trying my best I put in 100% effort. I do this with homework and tasks to complete. This means I am managing my self at home and school. I know my rights and I can manage my own time to work towards my learning goals.

When I was struggling with my learning I had to understand the poor choices that I have made. I had to stop, think and talk to a buddy that could help me. Listening to my parents and teachers changed my attitude towards learning. Now, I can help people that are struggling with their work, by using kind words and supporting them. I now can think for myself and others like a smart kid!

Nga Manuwa

This presentation is about mangroves. It tells you why should we protect mangroves and how they protect us. One thing that I learned about mangroves is that they don't like to grow in the south island because it is too cold for them too grow and in the north island it is warm for them.

Information reports.

This term we are learning about Marine Habitats. I have been learning about Bottlenose Dolphins.
Three cools facts are:

• They have a long beak like a snout and a sickle-shaped dorsal fin, and a sharp teeth.
• They are really good at diving when it comes to catch a fish.
• They are mostly found in northern Japan to Australia and from southern California.

Xtramath basic fact progress

In McCahon class we have been using Xtramath to practice our basic facts.

The green square shows that I have been answering problems very quickly so that means I am have been improving my learning.

A yellow square means that I know the equation but I cant answer it quickly enough!the grey box shows that I have missed out the equation and that I haven't answer it!

In Xtramath I still need to know my fact like 5+6 and 7+5.
