Precious McKenzie

WALT: edit my Precious McKenzie writing independently to identify my errors and get my work ready for Book Creator publishing

Click this link to see my Precious McKenzie book

Reflection:

I was able to do some research about Precious McKenzie and also I was able to identify and find my errors in my work without a buddy checking my work.

I found this activity exciting and hard at the same time because I had no idea who Precious McKenzie is or what Precious McKenzie was famous for. 

John Pule Art - Reflection Mini

            This is my reflection on my John Pule Art that I created for our art exhibition.

Decimals Mental Strategy and Written Strategy

Walt : use a variety of strategies to solve addition problems that involve decimal numbers.

My Reflection:

I was able to convert and fractions and by changing 2.3 to 2.30 and rename the decimal to a fraction and put the numbers in line with each other.

Next time I need to work on drawing two lines after the answer and keep the numbers and decimal points in a strait line.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Dance - Celebrations

Walt : understand that people celebrate in different ways

I was able to work with my group and do research dances the most hardest part was to find out some videos and pictures that suited the dances.

I found this just a bit hard because we had to find the pictures and videos that match the name of the the celebrations but at least we worked as a group as succeeded and work well as a group and I am glad that we worked well together.

Next time we will try to add more information and use more information and different dances that we don´t know about dances and be more specific with our dances.

Ghost - Making a Prediction

WALT:I am learning to make prediction based on the cover and blurb of Ghost by Jason Reynolds

I was able to figure out five facts about Jason Reynolds and it was tricky to find out what was the purpose of the background was.

I found this a little bit tricky because the questions made me a little bit confused and it was also confusing when you had to think of a expectation to find out in the book.

Next time I could use more information about Jason Reynolds and also include more clearly words and be more specific with my words.

Usain Bolt

Walt : locate and evaluate information about Usain Bolt on the internet

My Reflection:

I was able to find facts and use my knowledge by finding information about Usain Bolt and do research I found it hard to do research because most of the facts are the same.

I found this hard because I am not very advanced at researching on the internet and about Usain Bolt also I am not use to be doing research about someone I have not heard about.

Next time I could be more specific about the facts and use more information about it and use longer sentences.

Matariki Celebration - Phases of the Moon

Walt : accurately identify and organise the phases of the moon.

My Reflection:

 I was able to learn the names of the moons and I also thought of how the moon was getting described and I was also think improving on the moon because the way it was getting described.

I also learnt that the moon includes Matariki because it happens after the winter solstice and it forms
into a new moon and also I learnt that the moons in different countries are different.

Next time I think I could learn more information about the moon and I will look up at the at night time every time.
