My Camp Goals Reflection 2016

WALT: Reflect and state my opinion on Camp Raglan.

Tomorrow we will be traveling to Camp Raglan. We will be staying there for 3 nights and 4 days and I am really looking forward to it. At Camp Raglan we have been organised into teams, I am in CKQ ( Culture Kings & Queens) and our value is T.E.A.M which is "Together Everyone Achieves More". We had to reflect on our Camp Raglan learning and we will also be taking a booklet to extend our learning outside of the classroom.

November Celebration - Thanksgiving

WALT: Research facts and state them.

Today I did plenty of research on Thanksgiving because we were told to do a November Celebration and I chose Thanksgiving. What I found challenging was going onto many sites because some facts didn't seem realistic so I needed reassurance. I think next time I could work on extending my facts and finishing the task within the time frame given.

Woman burnt by iPhone 7 Reflection

WALT: Collect information and reflect on the article.

Today I collected heaps of information from the text "Pregnant Australian Woman receives second degree burns from iPhone 7" This was an amazing article that I read from New Zealand Herald in the Technology section. And I would love to share it with you! I struggled to understand the text at times but I can improve on that by re-reading.

"Is sport sexist?" Reflection

WALT: Reflect on our learning and collect information related to the text.

Today I did a reflection on a article from KKN, I found it very interesting and it really opened up my eyes, we need to be aware of sexisim and not let it get to us. I did find this task challenging at times because I couldn't find as much information as usual, but practice makes perfect

No more Samsung Galaxy Not 7's!!!

WALT: Reflect on our learning.

Today I read an article on KKN and it was about how Samsung Galaxy Note 7's are exploding and are being taken out of business. Will you trust another Samsung product again? Will they continue to fix this device? I still really enjoy Samsung and will still use it.

Bedroom Decoration Reflection

WALT: Reflect on our learning.

Today I decided to blog about my room, I think why I wanted to blog about this was the fact that im proud, and im glad I created this presentation about redecorating my room. I believe anyone should be able to feel nice within there new sleeping space, it was really soothing and I am so happy with what I have now. It isnt the best looking room but I really enjoy it.

Speech Reflection

The past few weeks I have been working on a speech about my hero AKA Dave Kahika (My Papa) I will be presenting this speech hopefully soon and I am really looking forward to it. Confidence is key, it's one of the best values you can have for yourself and thats what we need. When presenting my speech I will try my hardest, there has been times where I have struggled but I will be explaining how awesome it has been along the way. In my speech I took about how much of a role model he is to me and how and what he has done to make me the person I am today. My highlight in this task was gathering information and memories for my display presentation along with the speech. 

WALT: Reflect on our learning.

This is a reflection of my speech that I will be presenting, the whole class will be as well and I am pretty thrilled

Buddy Class Reflection

WALT: Reflect on our learning.

Today we had an awesome start to the week and bonded really great with the younger students at our school, we had buddy class. Buddy class I think is something every school should do, Making connections with all aged students is challenging but a great way to represent your school.

My Weekend Reflection

WALT: Reflect on our weekends.

In the weekends I did more than just sit on the couch and watch TV, I had a great weekend spent with my best friend (Petra) Laughter, singing, dancing and eating. My highlight was being with her, considering we haven't been together as much lately. It was challenging at times when we would argue but I would rather be arguing with her, other than not talking at all.

Music Reflection

 Today in Music we had just moved on from our last weeks exam, in this lesson we had the opportunity to do our own unique piece of music with the drum sticks and bins. Caleb got us to manage ourselves into our own groups and we could start our jam. There were four groups, two groups of boys, two groups of girls, I was with Ana, Nooroa and Frances. We enjoyed creating different types of beats with each other, we started it of with Nooroa and frances doing the same beat, then I come in with another feeding of the first beat and Ana ends it with an even faster beat. What we did in the end was listen to each others beats in the group and mash them together it sounded really awesome, we extended it with tricks and chants. My highlight was listening to each others music, there were some cultural beats that I had never heard and it was beautiful and a group of boys were funny and confident with their piece. A challenge for me was probably to do my beat while listening to others, but I'm sure I can improve on that quickly.
