Analysis!

 For the whole day today we have been working on our Blog Post Analysis!

This is where you view over the amount of posts you have, analyse that data, put it onto a graph etc. Then once we were done we had to write 3 statement about the information we collected and write a short paragraph about what the graph is showing. After all of this we put it onto a google drawing and this is my outcome!

This took surprisingly long and I am so glad I have finished it! 

(Can't wait for the Holidays!)

In the Step of Suzanne

 This week for R.E we are learning about Suzanne Aubert. This woman is significant to our school since one of House Groups ( groups we split the school by)  is named after her! Every year we celebrate the people who the house groups are named after by dressing in that colour. Aubert day is coming up this Friday so we will be dressing up in Red!

Along with the upcoming event we decided to do some research about Suzanne herself; once we gathered the information from this Video we were set to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) / Fact File with at least 10 facts minimum.

I enjoyed creating my factfile on google drawing and I am very pleased with the outcome! Since I am also in the "Aubert" House group I am looking forward to celebrating Suzanne in remembrance!

Here is my Fact File!

My Weekly Wondering

 This week has been amazing! We had 2 of my favourite step-in teachers and I managed to complete all my learning!

I enjoyed most tasks we had this week because most of them had drawing involved as options! That was my favourite part because now my books are filled with all sorts of colourful illustrations! I also enjoyed watching the U9's play soccer and playing cricket/soft ball on the field with my friends on a sunny day!

I struggled with managing my time because I was behind on some tasks due to me focusing on one task too much! 

Next week I aim to use my time wisely and cover the range of ALL of my tasks so I don't repeat this mistake, and so I can receive / achieve my Golden time (free time) !

I am looking forward to the School Holidays so I can sleep in, chill & vibe in bed and play with my dogs and whanau!

Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori!

This week is Te Reo Maori Week! So our learning has basically been based all around it. I found this learning quite overwhelming but otherwise I managed to complete it! This week on our contract we had to complete 4 Te Reo Maori Tasks, 3 R.E task s(Religious Education) and finish our Statistics tasks in maths.

I loved this contract because I chose most of the tasks with drawing involved! Along with other tasks that I could complete quickly but to a high quality! Here are my finished products:

My Pixel version of Maui

A Poster to Promote Te Reo Maori Week!

My own word search for others to complete. And I completed a paper copy version given by my teacher!

Then I made this Graph for Statistics about whether the milk in our school should be given out more often! : My Graph

And I finished my R.E Tasks in my Faith Journal.

I struggled a lot trying to keep up with this work but otherwise I enjoyed everything I worked hard on to complete!

My Weekly Wondering

 Last week was very enjoyable for me! Because our main base was around Social Justice Week, Filming and Spoken Word Poetry!

I enjoyed learning about Poetry because I find that it is a great way to let your mind run free and to be creative with no limits! This particular genre of poetry is very inspiring though; artists that master using spoken word usually post them on youtube for motivational quotes! Prince Ea is a great example who posted Sorry. I love this video and now love watching other spoken word videos too!

I found completing my work challenging to complete because there wasn't much time given to complete it! The week flew by and I never imagined how difficult it would be but in the end I finished!

This week I hope to complete my work to higher standards and manage my time wisely. I hope to stay on task and not get distracted by others around me; I will work with my friends but focus on my activity at task the best I can.

Joyful Justice!

 For the past few days of this week I have been working hard to complete this task for Social Justice Week! This task is especially meant for Social Justice Week, and I am so glad it's done.

I had to create 2 DLO's for this task and complete the slide and here it is!

 

A Poetic Promise

 This term we have been focusing on Poetry! This task today is the Spoken Word. The Spoken Word is a special type of Poetic Writing where you base your entire poem about one word. We then looked further into this by choosing one of four videos to watch of poetic artist present their Spoken Word Poem.

Then the follow up task was to complete a slide created by our Teacher Whaea Danni! Decorate it and post it on our blogs. 

Here is my Spoken Word slide deck!

I enjoy Poetry very much! I love learning about it and writing my own. I found this task very fun but unfortunately this task took me a long time to complete it. Next time my goal is to finish these tasks in a quicker time period and manage my time wisely.

My Weekly Wondering

 This week has been very challenging for me and here is why:

Our teacher was away sick for two days and we had 2 substitutes that were extremely busy! This made my learning difficult to keep up with along with my filming I was doing with my group in the background... This was challenging to cope with but in the end I managed to finish my work and finish our video. 

I enjoyed filming different scenes with my group since I was given the role of being Director! I was able to lead and assist my team to get all the right shots we needed! I really enjoy filming and it's one of my passions, so this is a task I had no problem with! But it was difficult to listen to all the different ideas everyone had, and stay on planned theme.

This week I succeeded to be independant and a leader. Having to manage my own self along with others taught me that not only do you have to think carefully but you have to use your time wisely. I struggled with this but I completed my tasks to a high standard and achieved my goal to be more independent with my learning throughout the week!

Next week I am looking forward to a not-so-crazy and normal week. I am looking forward to Fathers Day and sleeping in tomorrow!!!

Independant Intuition

 This week has been CRAZILY PACKED! 

For most of this week I was filming with my group during learning time, which caused me having to miss out on finishing my contract work. But then the rest of my class also had mass, music, kapa haka, and other things as well interfering with their time too!

So this week ended up flying by fast and ended up with one [articular task as our contract. We had to be very responsible and independent for our teacher. Whaea Danni was away for 2 days and we had 2 substitutes who were both extremely busy, but I feel we have done well.

This task I did, took me ALL week to finish and I am proud that I was able to achieve my Golden Time now!

I did find this challenging to sort out but the planning steps behind it will be very useful for in the future!
