  Big Idea:
The Big Idea in ET Reo was to finish a movie of saying what you like and dislike. My partner for this activity was Georgia. 

Evaluation:
What will I like to work on and what did I do well?
Well, next time I will like to learn it of by heart because I want to know it more. So when someone says how do you say such and such, then I can say it quickly. I think I did well by the pronouncing. Next time I would differently would be to do it in person not behind the sense. So I would chose to do it on camera, so the crowd can see me saying it in person. Also next time I will like to work on putting the mushrooms at the right time, because on one of our drafts we put it at the wrong time. So then we had to go back and do it again. 

Feedback & Feedforward:
Great job Sophie! I love the way you have gone above and beyond (you have added depth and detail into your movie). I also loved that you added the foods so that the visual leaners no what food you where talking about. Maybe next time you could just make sure that you pronounce some of the words right.  Great Job, your movie is AMAZING.

Writing Portfolio

Description:

My goal in writing has been connectives.  Connectives are when you but two sentences together. I have chosen this goal in writing. We had to chose one goal to work on the most, there were sentences, words and ideas. In my writing I am trying to get better at connectives by looking at some words to make the sentences together. I have got better at this by looking at the boxes of connectives to but in between. The words in red are the connectives & conjunctions.

Big Idea

Evaluation: 

In my writing I think I need to use a few more connectives in my writing. So then I will have a lot of them, so then I can chose another goal I could work on.

Feedback & Feedforward: 

You are excellent at using speech marks Sophie I can see you understand how it works, I agree that you need to work on using more connectives in your writing. Well Done! Grace

Maths Portfolio

Description:
In maths we have been learning to use the most effective strategy for each problem. I have use'n place value, partitioning, reversibility and spilt strategy. I am at stage 6. In stage 6 we had to use 2 effective strategies for each question.

Working Out:

Big Idea:

I have been working on the spilt strategy. This is how you do it. For an example 567+371

first you do is spilt the numbers apart

second you add them together like this 500+300=800 and so you keep doing that over and over till you have done the numbers in your question.  

Evaluation:

Next time I will like to do more of partitioning because I don't use that much often like the spilt strategy. I think I did well on getting the questions correct. 

Feedback & Feedforward: You have done a lot of different strategies. I think you could have try at Rounding and Compensating. Also you could label your questions to what examples you did.

Inquiry Presentation

Description:
In Poutama we have been going to 3 different teachers to do an inquiry. I chose Ebony's one because I wanted to know more about animals. I have chosen reindeers. My question was what is reindeers population, and what are there predators.

Success Criteria:

• To think like a scientist
• Act like a scientist 
• Talk like a scientist
• Make Predictions

Feedback & Feedforward: 

Great Job Sophie I can see you know how a scientist has to act, speak and think. Next time you could use maybe an experiment to show us something. Well Done! Grace :)

Evaluation:

Next time I will want to know more about another predator that is extinct or endangered so I could try safe them. In my presentation I think I have learnt a lot of them.

Reading Portfolio

Description:
This week we have had a deadline we need to finish. The deadline was to find a tick-tac-toe do for our Reading Portfolio. This deadline had to be finished by this friday the 5th of June. We had to chose 1 activity from the tic-tac-toe I have chosen what's a prefix. My Goal during Literacy is Expand Vocabulary. I am getting better at my goal because I have learnt more words. Here is my tic-tac-toe I have chosen. 

Tri stands for three like for an example, Triathlon it has three  sports in it, so everything that starts with tri has three meanings. These are the ones that do have three meanings.

• Triathlon
• Triangle

Success Criteria:

• Re-Read
• Read on
• Lists of words
• Base or root word
• Cause and effect
• Synonyms
• Comparisons and contrasts

Big Idea:
My tic-tac-toe was what is a prefix. Our task was to find words that started with tri. I found out words from the Dictionary and what I all ready new. Next time I need to work on making sure the word is spelt correctly and if it is real or not.

Evaluation:
What I need to work on is find out new words from the dictionary or ask a friend that I could use it in my writing I don't all ready know. I need to work on synonyms in my reading because I don't use that one much as re-read & read on.

Feedback & Feedforward:
Great work Sophie.
It is pretty difficult to come up with all those words by yourself. Maybe next time you could add words that you actually know their meaning instead of making up words you think are real. Well done though :D Aye

I think I need to work on pushing hard off outside foot and go forwards to attack pass. I think I have done good on looking at the ball and staying close to the player. 


Feedback and Feedforward:
I agree Sophie you have done well on staying close to the player. I think you have also done well
by pivoting in and out. Well Done!!!
