All About Me In 2013

All About  Me In 2013

In 2013 I hope to learn more “expensive” vocabulary, improve on using the environment if in difficult situations and hope to learn how to swim better.
I can’t wait! Sports camp is on its way. I’m going to enjoy the different sports, meeting other competitors and challenging other schools. I’m also very excited for what our wonderful teacher has planned for us. And also what an amazing journey is still here.
I think swimming is going to be challenging for me because I am not that great a swimmer.

What I am looking forward to is getting better results in my school subjects. I am always going to try my very best.

The Wizard Of Rondo

An old music box, painted with scenes of villages, dark forests, a castle on a hill and an evil queen in a blue long gown, has been handed down through Leo’s family. Now it belongs to Leo, and although he respects the rules his least favourite cousin does not. When the rules are broken, Leo’s ordered life changes forever as they plunge together into the fantastic world of Rondo. As they do Leo, Mimi and their friends are on a quest mission throughout Rondo.

It has a lot of complex and describable words. The book also has a lot of conceivable characters. I suggest that this book is more like to be read by an Intermediate student or someone who like a story with a sense for a mystery or clueless.

Poverty

My Interview with the New Zealand Herald

At 10:00 on Thursday myself and five others had a challenging interview with a man from the New Zealand Herald. He had come to talk to us about poverty in Glen Innes. The question were all very challenging but I was able to answer all of them. While we were answering his questions he kept writing and writing in his little pad. I was worried but thought I did really well. After answering about 15 questions we took photos in the library and outside on the field.

Then today in the morning our principle Mr. Hendricks invited us into his office to show and discuss about the article in the New Zealand Herald. We talked about how we did and also to try and adapt it to our own writing.

Yesterday was really fun and I hope I could do that sort of thing again sometime because I really enjoyed it and it made me think really really hard. Which I like.

Netbook Reflection 2012

The netbook from  Manaiakalani  has provided me a better chance of learning. With the netbooks we have used the Learn, Create and Share for two terms and I am enjoying it.

Everytime I see my netbook I can always see a better education for myself. During my two terms I can see an improvement in my main curriculum areas. To be honest it used to be really boring but now that I have a netbook it is actually fun. Commenting on others blogs are also exciting because I get the chance to find out about their learning and I get to meet others beyond this school.

The netbooks have made our school days interesting because now I talk more because there is a lot more to talk about.

My goal for the future is to get better at blog comments so others can go WOW.

Believe It Or Not.

Sharing is caring

Walt: Share our learning

This term I had written and prepared an ebook aiming towards the 5 and 6 year olds. I read my book to rooms 1 and 2. My book was on our Zoo trip and also our enquiry learning which was the features of animals. I used the photographs that were taken at the zoo to put in our ebook. To be honest nothing was easy, it was very hard to find the right words so that they could understand it. Room 2 red really well and could handle the words. Room 1 had trouble but they coped really well too. I will try to improve the choice of words better in the future when I am preparing an ebook for our younger students. I had fun reading and listening to our students.
