Statistics

WALT calculate the mean,mode,median and range.
My next steps are to lock the meanings of the mean,mode.median and range so I can remember them for next time. Also to use already what I know about statistics and to add the tens to the mean,expand the mode and do the best I can to the other ones.
But I still did it.

WALT Research

This is my self assessment sheet. On the left side is my assessment and on the right side is my peers assessment. My peer was Maia S we are in group A. The yellow is something to work on and the green is something I've mastered. But the redy,orangey colour is a mistake it is supposed to be yellow. Down the bottom is the feedforward comment Maia gave me.

Clay making 2014!

Art sample: Walt mould and add detail
1. I am proud of my clay because I tried really hard to complete my work. And I also took my time by helping others and giving some people great feedback and pretty good feedforward.
2. The thing that challenged me was moulding the clay when it got dry. It challenged me because it got all tough and really hard and it made you think that it is going to crack more. 
3. I enjoyed designing and detailing my clay because it let me know that I can do anything to my clay and I can have my own a pinion.
4. I learnt how to make clay smooth and shiny. You can do this by getting a metal spoon and slowly rub it against the clay until your satisfied with your clay sculpture.
5. Next time I can try to mould it less because it will crack and start to crumble.

My published and finished story about Glow-Worms

Camp: Glow-Worms 

The walls were speckled with lights. Darkness ahead swallowed the light of my torch and I heard the wind whistle softly in time with a flutter of leaves. The glowing lights were like little beady eye's staring down at me. A river of anxiousness trickled down my spine like a shower of rain. 

I switched off my torch swiftly walking into the darkness. It was black. Pitch black. All I could see was the beautiful swamp blue lights of tiny creatures called Glow-Worms.

Finally my night vision blew off some steam. But I'm sorry to say it played a trick on me. I thought I saw a hole so as I stepped over the mysterious hole I actually fall into one! 
I squeezed my foot out. Ouch!

When I got to the end I was amazed.It was a wonderful sight to see. " The eyes of the hidden forest" says Ben   Glow-Worms are very mysterious when it comes to its personality, form and it's life style. 

The End

Russell street school camp 2014

Air rifle score

My air rifle score is 54
I worked hard to get this score by gripping onto the gun with firm hands. By trying until I get a score I was satisfied with. And by watching people who got higher than me so I can be better.
I am glad I gave air rifle shooting a go! If I didn't I would not have had as much fun on camp as everyone else. I didn't do to bad. To me, my score is worth a million! I'm proud all right.  By Olivia

My third draft on camp: Glow-Worms

Camp: Glow-Worms!

The walls were speckled with lights. Darkness ahead swallowed the light of my torch and I heard the wind whistle softly in time with a flutter of leaves. The glowing lights were like little beady eye's staring down at me. A river of anxiousness trickled down my spine like a flowing stream. 

I switched off my torch swiftly walking into the darkness. It was black. Pitch black. All I could see was the beautiful (swamp) blue lights of (tiny creatures called) Glow-Worm.

Finally my night vision blew off some steam. But I'm sorry to say it played a trick on me. I thought I saw a hole so as I stepped over the mysterious hole I actually fall into one! 
I squeezed my foot out. Ouch!!

When I got to the end I was (amazed).It as a wonderful sight to see. " (The eyes of the hidden forest" says Ben)     Glow-Worms are very (mysterious) (mystical) when it comes to its (personality) (form) and it's life style. 

The End!!!

My second recount

Camp! 
The walls were speckled with lights. Darkness ahead swallowed the light of my torch and I heard the wind whistle softly in time with a flutter of leaves. The glowing lights were like little beady eye's staring down at me. 
A river of anxiousness trickled down my spine like a flowing stream. I switched of my torch and swiftly walked into the darkness. It was black. Pitch black. All I could see was the beautiful light blue lights of Glow-Worms. 
Finally my night vision blew off some steam. But I'm sorry to say it played a trick on me. I thought I saw a hole so as I stepped over the mysterious hole I actually fall into one! 
I squeezed my foot out. Ouch!!
When I got to the end, the top of the over hang looked like it was going to crumble like a cookie.
Glow-worms are so small but they have big silk strings. They are awesome!!!

My camp goals

These are my camp goals. I think I chose well, and at camp I hope I will achieve my goals with courage and dignity. I strive to be the best I can be and I hope I am not a blocker for my friends or the people around me.I have a goal I really want to complete That is camp goal number 1. 

I hope I succeed in all of my goals!  
I achieved goal number 1 by pushing with my legs and by using the grip in my hands to hold onto the grips while I clamber up. I used this stratagie because it helped me get higher and higher. Also I never got tired when doing this task right.
I achieved goal number 2 by listening to my team mates and combining our ideas into one. I used this stratagie because i felt it's not fair if other people don't win or get a turn at something they tried their best at to achieve. I think that because I know how it feels from my reputation in a group or a team and it makes you feel like know one is listening and that they don't care about someone else in their group. I think I achieved my goals well because I used alout of strength and courage at camp to complete my tasks. Even though I was five grips away from the top I still achieved my goal.   Olivia bs blog*
