Passion Project

Description:

For my passion project I was doing cure kids. But then I changed my mind and thought there isn't that much for me to do. So since I was doing SPCA cupcake day I deiced to do SPCA cupcake day with the other girls. We baked cupcakes and decorated some cupcakes during class and lunch.

Group:
I did this project with Milania, Devin, Abby, Amy, Olivia B, Olivia F and Emma.

WALT use the PASSION inquiry process to investigate my passion independently/in small groups

MY PASSION PROJECT INQUIRY IS… SPCA cupcake day

Big Idea:
For my passion project I was helping raise money for the SPCA. I did it last year and we got around about $400. But this year we raised $840. 

Evaluation: I think that my group did a wonderful raising money for the SPCA. I wasn't there to help on the day. I think that they could have spreader out the tables as they told me.Feedback/Feedforward: Cupcake day was a great idea and a big hit with the kids. I loved the day and the cupcakes were delicious. I can't find anything wrong with it. Ana 

Pae Tamariki

Description:

On 31 of July the Kapahaka kids went to the regent. We went to the regent to perform, what we have been learning in Kapahaka for Pae Tamariki. The primary and intermediate schools were celebrating Pae Tamariki as well. Some of us were practicing new songs at lunch time, and we had practce in the weekends.

Big Idea:

At Pae Tamariki, I felt...

At Pae Tamariki, I felt excited to share what we have been learning every Monday afternoon because we have been working hard on our dances.

I felt most proud of joining in for Pae Tamariki because it is fun to share what i have learnt for two years.

I found….challenging because…

I found singing challenging because I had a cold and I almost felt like i was going to cough in the middle of performance.

I managed this challenge by….

I managed this challenge by forgetting about it and just have fun.

At Kapa Haka, I next want to...
At Kapahaka, I next want to smile more during all the songs because it shows that I love being apart of Kapahaka.

Feedback/Feedforward:
Taylor, at Kapa Haka you definitely show what you know. I think you are great at Kapahaka. But as you said, you need to work on your smile. If you had that sorted I don't know what I would say what you needed to work on, because you are so fantastic at Kapahaka. Amy 

Wearable Arts

Description:

Production is coming up at the end of this term. The schools theme is based on ora-life. In Poutama we will be Upcycling things to make our garment. Troy Kate and Rebecca are doing different things to do with life. Troy is doing elements, Rebecca is doing villains and heros and Kate is doing out of Africa. I am with Rebecca doing villains. I chose to do villains and heros with Rebecca because I found it very interesting to dress up in.

So far I have mad my mask and some weapons. I need to paint some more layers though. All I need to start on is my wings and then I'll be done. I aim to have my mask and Amy weapons done by next week. Next week I want to start on my wings.

1) The materials that I used to create my garment were:
Black paper, plastic, plastic bags, hot glue and cardboard.
2) The most challenging thing about production for me was:
Making my wings because I didn't know what I would use to make my wings.

3) One way I demonstrated a growth mindset during production was:
Was when I said I can finish my garment in time for the production.

4) Something I am really proud of about production was:
Getting my garment done because I had finished it the week before it was due done.

5) Our school vision is to create agency, creativity and excellence. I showed this by:
Helping others with there garment because they might not have gotten done with any help.

Feedback/Feedforward:

I think that you have done a great job creating your garment. My favourite part of your costume is your wings they look stunning. If you have more time next time you could try and do another coat of paint on your mask To prevent it from chipping off! Well done! Bella.

Evaluation:

I think I have done well with creating my garment because it is original. But I think I could have added more detail to my costume.

The Answer Is IPad

Description:

We chose to focus on questioning or summerising. In reading we have been doing a tic tac toe. I have been doing the questioning tic tac toe because questioning is my goal. A tic tac toe is when you can chose any three things from the nine tic tac toes to do with your goal. The questioning tic tac toes are when you find an article or anything really, and you ask questions about it, like the answer is iPad. The is iPad is when you ask questions that have the answer of an iPad.

Success Critairia:

Right there (in the text)

Think and search (in the text)

Author and me questions (not in the text)

On my own questions (not in the text)

Big Idea:

In questioning we ask questions before we read an article, while we're reading the article, and after we read an article. We use the success critairia to help us with our reading. For my tic tac toe I learnt that there can be so many questions that answer iPad. I leart that it's not easy to come up with these questions but there are lots of questions that have the answer for iPad.

Feedback/Feedforward:

I think that you did a good job a thinking of questins and adding a bit of humour in it. I think that you could  work on doing 20 questions because I think that you can do it. I think that you need to work on having better and longer questions like thick questions because you can get more information by asking them with a lot of detail.

Aalaa:)

Evaluation:

I think I have done a well with my goal questioning. When I do my tic tac toes though i notice that there aren't that many questions you could ask. But I think I could work on getting more questions for my tic tac toes because this week and the week before I haven't been getting 20 questions down like I aim to do. So next time I do a tic tac toe I am hopefully going to get 20 questions done.
