What are you most proud of and why? The way I did the research and how I found out the basic known facts.

What challenged you the most and why? Getting the post and video finished before deadline meets.y

Next time, what is a goal you can work towards? Next time I could focus more on how the audience see it rather then me. Like how the magnified objects work with the topic.

Feedback/feedforward: I think that you have done a great job explaining it. Next time you could work on maybe putting the video on your blog instead of just have a tiny URL.

Mana mortahake

What is a mana motahake: self-awareness

How do I show mana motahake: by helping people but still doing my own learning with accuracy. I go my own way in learning but I can still ask a teacher.  

Nics inquiry. Character

This is my character for inquiry. My story is how mawi slowed the sun. His feelings, our props and what he is and some things he wears and represents are on the sides. He is a fradey cat. 🐾 

Recrafted paragraph

We came to the top of the stairs. And there we were, standing in a small dark room. It was a rather unsavoury place to be. At the end of the room, in a dome, was the dog stone. It's beautiful faint blue glow made an inch of the room light up. It was such a majestic Jewel that we started to steer. Suddenly the lights flicked on. And there, standing right there in front were fang and shard. And fluffy. Evil doctor fluffy. " well who do we have here" he said" wow, he's one stubborn Pomeranian " I whispered to crystal. " fang, shard. GET THEM!!!!" He barked. The guards leaped towards us. We dodged them and broke the glass dome. I snatched the dog stone and shoved it into a pocket in my detective coat. " NO!" He yelled. " you'll pay for this!, all investigators will pay!!!" He howled. 

Reflection: I could of worked on my language features. To use presice words to make my story stand out in different parts.... First, middle, end

I enjoy writing with Suzanne.

I hope you enjoy my chosen paragraph

Inquiry reflection ;)

Te REO Maori poster

This poster is by Olivia, Rileigh-Kaye and Maia S

Our poster can teach you about some feelings and sentences in Maori. We used Maori colours and our favourite colours. We went to workshops with ebony, elly, troy. We decided to each go to a different group. I went to Elly, Maia went to Troy and Rileigh went to Ebony. We added different types of decoration. E.G. Korus. We added a picture of a waka to make it more.... Realistic. We used bright colour and enthusiasm. Hope you enjoy it as much as us!!

Ebony: fonts 

Troy: colour 

Elly: angles

WALT: communicate a message.

Description: We have been participating in 3 different workshops around colour, compositions and fonts.  We put these skills to use in a poster sharing our knowledge about Te Reo Maori.

Why? We have noticed that our posters are too cluttered and do not communicate a  message well.

Task: Make a poster about Te Reo Maori.

My smart goals*

My writing goal is to apply the PEELS text structure ( point, evidence, explain, link and style ).

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because this goal is the main point I have been focusing on in writing time. Free writing and set task writing.

I will acheive my goal by working on my writing when ever I get the chance in my writing time so I can focus like an a effective learner.

 

My reading goal is to make connections between what I read and what I know about the world. 

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because my teacher and I agree on my goal. Also this is my goal I'm taking little steps at to achieve it. 

I will achieve my goal by rereading the text that I am reading and to think about what it means, and what I already know about it.

My maths goal is to is to focus on the doubling and halve strategy to solve multiplication  

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because I want to learn my fast times tables so I can learn off by heart very fast. I will try very hard 

I will acheive my goal by learning the problem off by heart so next time my maths teacher tells me the problem it will be at the top of my head ready to shout out.

Feedback & feedforward: I think you have given lots of time & effort into you smarts goal & think you have done a great job. Gemma :p
