Te Ahu a Turanga Noho Marae

Description:  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 these goals because I used all my energy in the whole day not when I woke up. Also I know more about my group because I now know a lot more about them.

2.  What are you most proud of from the Marae stay and why?

I am most proud of not working with my friends or people I know because I want to know more about some other people.

3.  What challenged you the most and why?

The Gorge walk challenged me the most because I have done it for a while so when I went up my legs stared to hurt. But it was a lot of fun!

 This is my bookmark that we made after the Marae. The first one means teamwork and togetherness. The second one is when I was on the gorge walk I saw a Kereru for the first time. And the last one is the gorge walk because it is a really cool place of nature.

2 Stars And A Wish

Today we have made 2 stars and a wish. The 2 stars are the ones you have improved on, and the wish means what your goal is. Here is a picture of my 2 stars and a wish.

Whoops Didn't Print!

On Monday, we watched a really funny movie about 2 people who get stuck on an escalator. Have you seen it?

Criteria: (Content)

• Video - 30 seconds long, time is limited. 
• Scenario - Show someone being stuck and not using the ability to act. 
• Clear Message - Short sharp clip. Can the watcher get the point of your video?
• Unique - Coming up with something funny that gets a laugh from others. 
• Time Passing - Do you need to show time passing in your clip to emphasise your message. 

Criteria: (Movie)

• Light - Make sure the sun isn’t creating a hard to see clip. 
• Voice Volume - Needs to be louder than other background volume eg Noise, Kids.
• Frame - What’s in the frame to make your message obvious. 
• Steady Hands - Make sure the camera is still. 
• Individual Clips - Don’t do one continuous shot of 30 seconds. Make a range of short clips and join together. 

Feedback And Feedfoward:
I think it is really cool of how you and your group made the lighting really good. What I think you could work on is maybe make the message more clearer because we can't really see Sophie clicking cancel instead of print.
Aye :-P

Swimming Smart Goals

Description:
We have been having swimming lessons to help us get ready for the big swimming day, where we race to come 1st 2nd and 3rd for your team. My team Is Kiwi. I am good at remembering my togs on swimming days. Our swimming days are Wensday, Thursday and Friday. 

My Goals:
For freestyle my goal is to leave my head down looking at the ground. To achieve this goal I need to remember to look down. 

For backstroke my goal is to keep my body straight like a arrow. To achieve this goal I need to remember to not have wiggly hips.

At the swimming sports day my goal is to come 1st 2nd or 3rd because last year I came 4th. So this year I want to get better at what I did last year. 

Evaluation: 
I have looked at both of the movies and I recon I have gone faster. I have  achieved my goals and I am really happy with myself. Also I am glad because when I did breaststroke I came first and that was the first I did breaststroke at swimming sports so I am feeling really proud.

        

Maths Test!

Description:

 We have done a maths test to figure out what stage we are up to. So theres stage 4 5 6 and 7 there is only one person on stage 7 but there will be more, I am on stage 5. The pink high litter mean think so thats your goal. Also the yellow high litter mean gold so that is that u have worked it out in 3 seconds. If the title of the different parts are high littered pink and its got yellow, it means that that was a bit tricky. We have to work it out in 3 seconds to get them correct.     

Goal: 

My goal for stage 5 is complete the pattern. I am going to achieve this goal by doing lots and lots of practice till I get them in 3 seconds. So I will be able to make it to my next goal. I hope I get it done at the end of this month for this goal I am working on.
