Inquiry

Description: This term we have been doing inquiry. We do it on Thursdays. At the start of the term we went around all the inquiry groups. We then chose our favourite. I chose impact prodjejs because I had enough an idea that I knew I could turn into something big. I am setting up a science experiment pack for the jouniours. I need to make it fun but they also need to learn stuff.

Helping future generations: My thing will help people in the future under stand that science is fun but it will teach the about the things my experiments are about.

I am thinking outside the box by doing crazy experiments. Like dancing raisins.

What made me choose this inquiry?

I am passionate about science and teaching that science is work and fun.

How will my inquiry impact the future? 

My inquiry will impact the future by teaching kids about chemicals like CO2, H2O and O.

Did I achieve my goal?

I achieved my goal because I have now set up a science pack for the jouniours that teachs them a range of things.

How did I show Agency, creativity and excellence? 

I am being creative because I could have made the experiments boring but I made them snappy and exiting. I showed agency by finishing my project. I showed exelence by making my pages readable

Up.

Up. 

I am nervous, Butterflies bumping around in my tummy.

Clunk. 

Clunk.

 Hushhhhh.

 It stops. A deafening silence.

Is there something wrong? Are we in trouble? Do I need to panic?

I look down. 

People moving about like tiny ants.

I am nervous, palms are getting sweaty

Whooshhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Round and round.

Upside down 

loop da loop

Round and round.

My cheeks get pushed back, but it's only the wind.

Someone spewed, It smelt disgusting 

It's like I could almost taste it

Hushhhhh

It slows down.

It's over.

Its a relief!

I'm still alive!

I survived!

But I get straight back in the line to have another go....

Evaluation:

1. I think I did well with the five senses because I used all of them. The most powerful one I used was feeling the wind against my face.

2.I think I used language features wisely because most of the language features I used are the ones that Troy said to use but I could use alliteration next time.

3. Next time I could use more language features because I used quite a few but not alliteration.

Self Directed

I think I am a Self Directed learner because I allways get stuff done on time and I allways smart goals that help grow my growth mindset.

The goal that I am currently working on is giving good feedback/feedforward because mine are usually kind of helpful but I want to make in really helpful

The things I need to do to achieve this goal are being more detailed in feedback and eshpeshally  feedforward.

Dicovery time

I showed creativity by helping James and Logan create some new rules.

I showed agency when  the new rules diddent work I got advice from other players rather than just Logan and James.

I showed exelence by winning

Next week for discovery time I will make a Maison in Minecraft.

Pre reading activity

1. Title - the title of This Land We Call Home sounded weird because it's there home land and I wonder were it is and I wonder why its this land we call home rather than the land we call home.

Cover Design - This Land We Call Home look take a title of war with Japan because the cherry blossoms are Japan's nation signiture.

Blurb - It sounds spooky and I have played the Pearl harbor bombings on ps2 and it was cool and I want to find out what the implications on the world were.

2. Predictions I think that some Japanese people are living in California when world war 2 kicked off and the americans want the Japanese people out of America incase they were bombers.

News Report

I did a wrap of the news with Jett here is my wrap up:

ET Reo Portfolio Sample

In ET Reo we have been learning body parts in Moari. You could chose to do a puppet pal, poster,music vid or an iMovie. I chose year 2s for my audience. You could chose to go in a buddy or by your self. I chose to go in a buddy with Louis. Here is my iMovie:

Big idea: we did heaps of stuff to help us remember the body parts. We learnt the Hokey Cokey in Maori, we also did a comition in groups of three. The comp was who could write the most body parts down. I worked with Jaiden and Mitch.

Feedback/feedforward: I think you did well at hooking your audience  and using them in the movie. Next time you could work on your camera angles/view. #Jaiden

Evaluation: I think I did well at my pronaucation but I should speck in a clearer voice.
