Class Enviroment

Class Environment

A little while ago my friend Nalanee and I completed a Class Environment slide about how well our class has done in certain areas of this topic. I had to do the positives, Nalanee did the negatives. Finding positives was a bit hard, but I managed in the end. 

My next step will be to maybe add a few more ideas and upload it quicker.

I got the ideas and information from experience in the class.

Is your environment nice and tidy?

Phoenix Collage

Cybersmart Phoenix

Last week I started a collage for Cybersmart. We could choose whatever we wanted to make, so I chose to do a phoenix. It was more of a complicated one, compared to some fishes and trees and houses, but I wanted to do something more complex than a simple fish, even if it was longer. It was still fun though! 

My next step is to finish it quicker and complete it quicker.

What would you make if you had to?

Curiosity

Be Curious

This week's value was Be Curious. Our activity for this topic was about what we were curious about. We had to have a minimum of six things we wonder about and I found it a bit hard, I didn't have many things I thought and wondered about like that. But the six I have now are things I'm actually wondering about, so I'm pretty happy with myself. 

My next step for this is to post it sooner and maybe add a few more things I'm curious about.

What things do you wonder about?

Mat Manners

Manners On The Mat

This week our School-Wide Expectation is Mat Manners. For this, we had to do an activity on the topic. We had to make a Google Drawing on things we needed to change and changes we can do to have perfect mat manners! Instead of my mat manners, I thought about others and what they could fix, since I couldn't think of anything for myself. Here's my work.

My next step is to complete it quickly so I can have it up on my blog sooner.

I got the information from experience in the classroom.

Do you have nice Mat Manners?

Comfort Zones

My Comfort Zones

Today our value of the week was Taking Risks. We had to do an activity where we showed what was in our Comfort Zone and what was outside of it. We had two options of what we could present it on, a Google Drawing or MindMup. MindMup is a new website where you can make something like what I did. It's kinda like Google Drawings, but way more fun! Here is my work!

I loved using MindMup, it made everything a lot easier and more fun!

I got the information from experience and some fun tries. 

What's your Comfort Zone like? 

Prototec Term Four

Prototec!

Today was the first Prototec of the Term! This week we've been focusing on Basic maths, and to refresh our minds, we've done a prototec!

My next step is to get 100% on Stage Seven.

How well do you thing you would do on Stage Seven?

Fanimals!

Fanimals Team Visits!

Today our school got a lucky visit from the Fanimals Team! Fanimals is a television show about animals, but I don't know too much about it since I don't watch it. We saw their dog, Molson, and we were the lucky class that got to have our picture taken with them! He's a Golden Retriever and is five years old; he was really cute. They also left prizes for us, some stuff we don't know about yet. Here are some pictures.

Us with Molson and Jess.

Here we're patting Molson.

Today was fun, and I think a lot of people enjoyed it. It was really awesome how they came to visit our school, and they gave us signed cards! 

Have you watched Fanimals, and if so, what's your favourite animal?

Strong, Not Wrong

My Strengths

This week in Mindfulness our session was about us focusing on what's strong rather than what's wrong. We had a follow-up activity today about what our strengths are, and we had to write ten strengths about ourselves. 

My Next Step is to find more strengths about myself.

What are all your strengths?

School Goals

Smart Goals

Today our class went back and reflected on our goals from last term. Then we went and did goals for this term. We had one for each subject, Writing, Reading, Math. We also had to do something for Other, Social and Behaviour. Here are my goals.

I hope that by the end of this term, all these goals will be completed.

What would your goals be for these subjects?

Pride in Our Achievements

Pride in Achievement

Today our class was working on an activity for the school values. It's Pride in Achievement, and we were working on what we were proud of what we accomplished over the years. Here's mine.

My next step would be to do six achievements.

I got this information from myself.

What are your greatest achievements from the years?

Orana Park

Orana Wildlife Park

Yesterday our class went on a school trip to Orana Wildlife Park. We learned about many different animals, and my personal favourites were the cheetahs and the springboks.

Here are some pictures of our trip.

Here we are watching the springboks. I learned about these animals that they can jump much higher than their own height.

Here are the yaks. I learned that yaks can live at the highest altitude of any animal.

These are the lions, and I learned that a group of lions is called a pride.

As a reflection, I loved the trip, and I loved seeing all the animals. The trip was a blast.

We all got this information from our guide, Elizabeth.

What's your favourite animal?

 

 

Street Art Questions

Asking Questions

This week in our class we were focusing on Street Art and what it means. It was painted after the Christchurch earthquakes on the sides of buildings where other buildings had to be taken out from too much damage. The slide we did was asking questions about the Christchurch Cathedral and some pictures of Street Art. 

My next step is to ask better and more descriptive questions.

I got the information from our teacher, Miss Waho!

What questions would you ask about these pictures?

Values

Values of the School

Today most of my class finished a slide about the Values in the school and what it means to show them. It was for Linc Ed, but our teacher told us we could post it here, too. 

My next step is to show a few more of these values and help others to show them too. 

Stage 7 Strategies

Math Magic

This week my Math group is learning a new strategy about distributive property. Here is a google drawing displaying things about my work.

My next step is to complete it quicker.

Classroom Expectation Reflection

Reflections

This week our Classroom Expectation is Class Environment. We had to do it in the first term of the year, and now we had the whole year to reflect on, so it was easier this time around.

My next step is to complete things faster.

I got the information from the year so far.

What do you think about it?

Stage 7 Numeracy

    Algorithms

This week we have been learning about algorithms in math, using them to solve usually medium questions. It looked really hard at first, but once explained, they aren't too difficult.

My next step would be to learn more in a quicker time.

I got the information from my teacher and myself.

What do you think about it?

Our Place Our Names Assessment

Our Place Our Names

We did an assessment of what our place and our names mean in the school. We did this assessment a while ago, but I never got to publishing it. The ones blank are the ones I got incorrect, while the green ones I got correct! They are all correct here, though. So here it is!

My next step is to learn them and get all of them right.

I got this information from my teacher, Miss Waho.

Do you guys like the names? 

Nalanee's Best Friend Award

Shout Out for Nalanee!

Today we were learning about how to be positive online. We did a shout out for someone to show online positivity, and I did my best friend, Nalanee, because she deserves it!

I think if I didn't have Nalanee in my life, I would be a bit different. 

I found the photo from some pictures in my drive.

How do you think we can show more ways of being positive online?

Factoring

Factoring Quiz

Today for maths we had to something to showcase our learning outcome, and I did a quiz about Factoring. 

My next step would be to complete it.

I got the information from the Te Ara Takitini Site.

If you did it, did you get them all right?

Venngage Infographic

Venngage Infographic

Today our class learned how to use Venngage, a program where you can make presentations, infographics, and more. We made an Infographic about Being Positive Online! We've been learning about positivity online, and it's actually very fun! 

My next step would be to be a bit quicker. 

I got the information from the Uru Mānuka Learning Site.

What do you think is the most important thing about staying positive online?
