In week 7, we had an overnight stay at the local Marae in Woodville. We were immersed in Maori culture and participated in a range of activities. We set two goals to focus on during our stay.
Big Idea:
1. Did you achieve your goals? How do you know? I have achieved my goals. I know I have because I was quiet during the welcome, and served the lunch sensibly ready for the day.
2. What are you most proud of from the marae stay and why? I was most proud of being in the pit when I was weaving because I knew I was in the right path of the learning pit.
3. What challenged you the most and why? What challenged me the most was sleeping in the wharenui because there was a lot of noise.
We have been learning about transformation. We have specifically learnt that...
translation is when an object slides in any direction;
rotation is when an object is turned around a central point;
reflection is when an object is flipped and has a line of symmetry.
Big Idea:
Evaluation:
I think that I did a good job on my car badge. But I think I should of been a bit faster so I don't waste the last minutes in my geometry group. If I were to do it again I would make easy badge so I don't run out of time.
Feedback/Feedforwad:
You have done a very nice picture and have been able to explain to me very well translation, rotation and reflection. Next time you could do a video to show the visual learners. Georgia
Description: We have been making some oral story's like Diane Ferlatte. We have to make it a life listen story or an explaing story.
Big Idea: My story is about a boy getting kicked out of his house and has to find a job. See more in my movie and little comic.
-Between 1 and 2 minutes long
-Using your voice to make sounds effects
-Using your whole body to make actions -Use your face to tell a story through facial expression -Knowing the story, knowing the setting -Get the picture into your listener’s head -Stay in character - keep your composure. -Audience participation
-Unique and original (Hook your audience)
Evaluation: I think that I did a good job of telling my story even though I was shy. I think that I could work on some actions with my story.
For a couple of weeks we have been doing some swimming for our swimming sports. We practiced freestyle backstroke and we will be practicing breaststroke.
Big Idea:
My swimming sports goal is to try beat last years score in breaststroke. I can do this by practicing a lot harder.
My swimming goal's in our school pool is to not wiggle my bottom. I can do this by kicking from my knees not my waist.
My next goal is to take three or five strokes then a breath. I can do this by counting in my head.

Evaluation: I think that when I did breaststroke I did very well. I know I did well because I was in front of everyone.
When I watched myself I thought that I almost completed my goal because I saw myself wiggle my bottom.
When I practiced my strokes and breath I kept on breathing on the same side. But I have completed my goal. I know this because I watched myself breath on both sides.
