Listening

FDescription: Today me finis, Mike and Telina made a movie on the three different types of listening. Active listening, me two listening and busy listening

Big idea: Active listening is we're your really engaged and interested in what they are saying. Me to listening is where your story is more important the the other persons story and busy listening is when the thing you're do is more important the there story And your hardly listening to there story.

Feedback/Feedforward:

Fb I like how you shared parts for the movie

FF you need to have a louder voice

AngusM

Evaluation: I think we did well at acting the different listening but we definitely need to speak louder cause I could only just hear us.

I also think that I'm going really well at being an active listener.

Waitangi

Description: In the past two week Max and I have been making a movie on the Treaty of Waitangi. We did it to show our understanding about the treaty of Waitangi. I'm at the Waitangi Marae and Max is in the newsroom. to get our information we watched I short Movie and then asked questions. Then we read websites to answer our questions. Max and I used the information we had collected and made a movie. Enjoy

Big idea: I learnt 5 new facts about Waitangi. One of them was that it wasn't a public holiday until the 6th of Febuary 1960 and that the Maori did not really understand the English language when the treaty was sighed.

Feedback/feedforward: maybe you both could speak a little louder but I think it was good because they were clever to use the green screen. Houston

Evaluation: I think we included a range of facts but we are not relational because we have two groups of two that relate so we are briging the gap between multi and relational. Next time I will try to get relational because we came so close this time.

Card Maths

Can you solve my maths question? If you can post the answer in the comments below.

Waitangi Day

RDescription: We watched a video about Waitangi Day. Then we had to think up some open questions about Waitangi. An open question is one that has more than 1 answer or has a long answer. We did not want to do a closed question.

3. When did Waitangi Day become a public holiday?

6th of Febuary 1960.

One Word

WALT: Set Goals

Description: Today we have been learning to set goals. It had to be one word long. My word is Balance. 

Because I want to spend the same amount of time on things I'm bad at and good at. Eg writing and maths. I spend more time on maths than on writing.

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

Free Verse Poetry

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.
