padlet learning story

We have been learning about a new tool to show our learning.  Our tool was a padlet. You can make arrows that connect ideas or pieces of information.  You can add pictures to show your idea or information.

We have used a padlet to communicate our ideas about the stories we've learnt about Porirua.  We've been thinking about how knowing our past helps us prepare for our future.

I made some connections on my padlet.  

I connected Auckland to Te Rauparaha  because that's where Te Rauparaha went to go to jail.

I connected Te Raupaha to TeRongo because te Rauparaha is a father to TeRongo.

I connected myself to Battle hill because I’ve been there and also to Porirua because I live here and I was born here too.

 

My Choice of Learning

I am going to tell you about polyclub.

When the girls go down to the hall for polyclub, first we get into our lines
so that we can start dancing. But it so challenging for me because it is so
hard to learn different moves and songs but when I keep on learning them
at home then I will get used to it. I get scared because every time when Pina
turns off the music I think that I’m getting a growling but it is the older kids
because they aren't doing what they’re supposed to do. I
feel proud of myself when I get the moves right. I go down to the hall for
polyclub because I like to represent my culture to my family.

Abigail’s Maths learning Story

The Problem:  

Ajay’s Parent’s Wedding At Ajay’s parent’s wedding on the weekend 99 people were invited to the wedding.   48 extra people showed up.   How many people were there? What different ways can you solve this problem?

How we solved the problem:

Then I did 99+48 and then I split the 48 into 1 and 47. Then I did 99+1=100 and then 100+47=147. Finally I found the answer and the answer was 147 people that was at Ajay parent’s wedding

Working as a group is important:  Choose 2 to write about

I am good at….  because…. I am getting better at ….. because ….. It’s hard for me …… because …... I need to work on  because….

I’m getting better at telling ideas to my group so they can understand when I’m talking about the problem.  

I need to work on sharing the pen and getting in a four square so that our group is ready for working together.

Castell

Room 4 is learning to work as a team we researched people
working as a team. We learnt about orchestras, Tivaevae,
ubuntu, inati and castell. Today I’m going to tell you about
castells.    

In a castell there jobs are to make sure they get all of their
people so that if the people at the top fall and then the people
at the bottom can hold them. Also their  jobs are to have good
grip, good climbing skills and good everything. If you’re on the
bottom you need to lay your hands on the other people so the
person at the top, if they fall, you can catch them.  If you stop,
they might get injured.

There skills are to make sure they don’t fall because if they
fall and the people at the bottom are not ready then someone
is gonna get injured. They have to put their hands straight.  
They have to hold on until the top person comes down.
You can’t give up. You always have to try your best.

If Room 4 could be like the castell we would need to try our
best because in maths we share ideas to other people so they
can understand. If they don’t understand, we can try to explain
it in another way until they understand. And in P.E we try our
best
in high jump
and we also learned how to do sprinting.  

Now you know what I’ve been working on this term.I hope you
were interesting of my learning and maybe now you will also be
better at working in a team like a castell.

play Reflection

Hall, puppets.

When it was play time, me and my friends wandered down to the hall because it was on a raining day so then we went and played hockey or do something else but then we went back up because it was too boring down there. So then we went in room 4 and made puppets that we can do on the light spot. And then Miss Jenni or Trish came and took a photo so that she could remember it.

Sketching

In room 4 I came and did some sketching with Ti but then when I came I heard that she was practicing how to speak in Samoan so then I helped her to practice what she was stuck on. She was saying the numbers but when she was practicing Rougan was trying to draw Teana while he was sketching.

  

Abigail’s Term 2 Fitness Learning Story

How do I maintain my fitness and know how it helps me be healthy?

I know some activities to help me keep up my fitness.  They are running, jumping, skipping, hopping, hopscotch, ball tag, jogging, speed walking, tag, rushing.
I know why fitness is important to me so I can be fit when I do fitness. The reasons why it’s good for me are so I can be healthy at home.
I know I have improved my fitness by eating healthy stuff   In the beginning, I used to always walk when we do fitness just because I was too lazy to run. Now I can start running and no stopping to walk but sometimes I just walk cause it so hard to not stop.
