Term 2 Reflection

This term I have really enjoyed learning about my timetables because I can learn all my timetables. I now know how to do my place value. I enjoy working on my maths because I like doing hard things and I can also learn from my mistakes. I also like doing dance with Mrs Anderson and Ms Brett. Also I like going tech with the whole class. Tech is nice because I learn diffrent things.

My Respect Care award badge

Today at assembly Sa Kae and I earned our CARE awards badges. Sa Kae earned an Excellence and Innovation and I earned my Respect badge. This is my first badge and I am exited to show my parents. 

Problems and Solutions

Today I was making a DLO on Problems and Solutions. We had to write down the Solutions and problem.

Tamaki Wrap

Click for the Video

Today I was making a video on Tamaki Wrap. We were put into groups of fours. I had a big group. We first went to a table that had a boxs of leaves and papers. We had to cut the paper and glue it on the other piece of paper and then we went to the next table. The groups were rotataing around each tables. We also had four teachers at each table. The video above shows what we did.
 

Tae Kwondo

At Tae Kwondo we had an instructor whose name was Steve Pellow. Master Paul McPhail came to watch us for 1 day to make sure that we were doing the right thing and right way. We first had to make a row of 4's and we had to bow with our legs together. Then we were practising our punching and kicking. We also made two lines so we can kick the pads with our feet. It was hard for me because the pad was really high. I think I need to practise a lot so I can get more better at kicking the pads.

Visting Teacher from Tamaki College

Yesterday there was a visting teacher from Tamaki College that came to our class. Her name was Miss Apelu. She came to look at our work that we did in Learning Space 2. I had to show Miss Apelu the Matariki work we did. I was explaning to her what we had to do first, next and last. I was so scared because it was my first time talking in front of a teacher from Tamaki College. I was also confident because I was showing her the work we did and I could talk about my learning.

Compare and Contrast

On Monday Mrs Anderson's Matariki group were making a DLO on Compare and Contrast. We first made a Venn diagram about Matariki and Chinese New Year. I worked really well with Sa Kae and Jona and we got our DLO done. Then we compared Matariki with Chinese New Year using similar facts. After we compared Matariki and Chinese New Year with different words. We made photos about Matariki and Chinese New Year which were similar.
