Poems- I learned about the four things in poetry. Rhyme, Rhthym, Humour and senses. I achieved my goal because I wrote a moment in time about the year four sleepover. Here is an example of my learning-Sloth-Lazy fluffy spiky fur.Giant eyes.Tiny mouth.No branch. Next time I will try to come up with more descriptive words for my poems.

Year 4 Sleepover

Something I enjoyed was when Mr Brown was scaring people because it was intense.

One challenge I had was hiding when we were playing Fox's and Hounds I solved it by using ninja moves.

Something I learned about myself was that I was really interested in our Discovery Dome session.

I surprised myself when I knew a lot about the planets when we were in the Discovery Dome.

It was the best.

Athletics 2016

I am learning different Athletics skills.

I learned to scissor kick in high jump.

I achieved my goal because I scissor kicked and landed on my feet in high jump.

Next time I will take off on 1 foot and land on two feet for long jump.

My favourite event was high jump.

Maths Strategy

WALT Use algorithms to solve + and - problems

I learned that if you place numbers on top of each other it makes it a lot easier to solve

Here is an example of my learning: I learned that 64 + 64 is 128. (using my strategy)

Next  time I will put a 1 on the next column if it adds up to more than 10

Art

WALT Create a mosaic picture using pastel and Indian ink

I learned to put different colors in different spots to make it stand out

Here is an example of my learning: I used pastel, chalk and Indian ink to make a beautiful and colorful butterfly

Next time I will try to use a lot of different colors to make it look brighter.

My Mihi

WALT Introduce ourselves in Te Reo

I learned to read out new Maori words.

I achieved my goal because I can  understand what the words mean.

My next step is to pronounce my Mihi correctly.

Ko Justin toku papa.
Ko Finlay toku hoa.

Reading Strategy

WALT Make a conclusion or assumption (infer).

I learned to make an assumption from what I already know.

I achieved my goal because I made a new assumption from what I heard in the book.

My next step is to use new information in my writing.

ANZAC Writing

W.A.L.T Write a diary entry using vocabulary.

I learned that vocabulary is another word for interesting words.

I achieved my goal because I came up with a lot of different describing words. Here are a few of the sentences I am proud of.

Bullets were being fired and bombs were being thrown like crazy!

In the night I was so annoyed because the rats kept squirming and I couldn't get to sleep.

I was hiding in a bush when suddenly a tree fell down "BANG" right on top of my friend.

Next time I will try to describe some other good words.

Cross Country

WALT run 1.5km for Cross Country

I learnt that is quite hard to run that distance but I did it by just slowing down and jogging.

I achieved my goal because I ran more than 6 laps and became 18th.

Next time I will try to jog at the start then speed up.
