Things I did well

This term each person in the class has been choosing goals to work on and what we are doing well. I think I have been...
Making a good choice of people to sit next to which has helped me complete my learning.
Being at the right place at the right time which has given everybody more learning time.
Not distracting others when I finish, this has helped others complete their learning.
This term I think I have could work on
Not laughing on the mat because it distracts myself and others.
By focusing more during positive puberty instead of fiddling with my shoes.
By not talking when transitioning from one place to another.

Leadership on the bus

This week on the way back to school on the bus I sat beside Finn for the trip. During the trip other people were trying to talk to me so I told them to speak to the person next to them. I was only talking to Finn During the bus trip because he was the person next to me.
My next step is to sit beside someone i wont talk to as much because the bus driver had to pull over due to noise.

Discovery

Our groups goal in discovery is to find out which is better, Nike or Adidas?The people in our group is Joe, Dalvyn, Jonathan, Jake and myself, Ryan.                                                                                                     Our first step was to create a solo matrix on our goals for the research. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nUFYKM_Z5f9-94fwv_vJlCS5OfWarPYpWit_jMT0J6c/edit
The next step was to find out and research some certain categories to find out which is better Nike or Adidas? Our next step is to complete the presentation sheet so we know how to present it.

Reading Week 5/6

WALT analyse similarities and/or differences in text, written communication and dialogue.  
Last week in reading the reading group I was in read two stories called The Bullet and Bok Choy. Afterwards we did an authors purpose sheet on Bok Choy. Shortly after we did the summary sheet, I chose the tic tac toe note taking sheet. Shortly after we went to see Mr. Muller who gave us a compare and contrast sheet to complete on the two stories. Finally we did all the Must Dos (cloze, Reading Comprehension and paragraph comprehension). My next step is to infer more on the inference activity to find out more information.

Maths.

IALT: solve equations up to the power of 5.
The past two weeks in maths the group I'm in learned about powers and the easiest way to solve them. The easiest way is to change the equation into expanded form ( 3x3x3x3x3)and multiply it from there. The answer to that problem is 243. We did some questions from NCM L5 B1. This is a book that with all the strategies an equations you can think of. My working out looked like this.
My next step is to solve equations up to the power of 10.

Te reo

This week in Te reo we have been learning about health. We have been learning two different phrases, one is He aha te mate? then you would reply how you were feeling. e.g. Kua maru taku kanohi. This means I have a bruised face. Then the person that asked the original question would say aroha ana. Which is showing sorrow for the person with the bruised face. The other phrase we learnt was Ha hakinakina pai ki ahau he (insert sport here). This is saying what sport you like.
My next step is to speak fluently without my book in front of me.

Science week 5

WAL about the rate of reactions and the products of reactions.
This week in science with Mrs Stead we looked at certain chemicals and how they reacted. The first test we did we had two cups, Detergent, Baking Soda and vinegar. First we put one teaspoon of baking soda into each cup. Then we put detergent in one cup and left the other. Afterwards we took two tablespoons of vinegar and put in one cup and died the same for the other. The results were mixed, the one with detergent had small bubbles, grew slower and popped slower. Then we did an experiment with balloons. First we filled the balloon with one teaspoon of citric acid and another teaspoon of baking soda. Then we attached it to a bottle fill with water. Finally we tipped the balloon upright. The water and the powders made carbon dioxide which made the balloon fill with air like a regular balloon would. The final experiment we did was the jumping raisin experiment. First we put in some water. Afterwards we put in the raisins. Finally we put some vinegar in the cup. The raisins jumped up and down due to the carbon dioxide connecting to the bubbles (lifting it up) when the bubbles popped the raisins went down.
