Week 2 Term 3 Reflection

The thing I enjoyed the most this week is doing the Hildegard of Bingen Animation it was incredible fun and I got to collaborate with my friends.
The biggest success I had was doing the build a Skeleton my group and I collaborated awesomely.
One of my challenges this week is doing the skeleton activity it was very hard because our bones sometimes were hard to distinguish.
 The fun thing I have learned this week is a whole bunch of interesting facts about the human body like did you know the thigh bone is the most powerful bone in your body.
Next week I am looking forward to collaborate with different types of people in group activities.
I have shown the value pono this week by being honest to myself and others and have only done good action this week.

Weekly Reflection: Week 1 Term 3

The thing I enjoyed this week is doing creative writting because it is always fun to unleash my creativity.
One of my success' was the holiday recount I wrote it with a sizeable amount of effort and in my opinion it was great, the only feed forward I got was to shorten my sentences and that was from the principal.
One of the things I found hard this week  was cross country I am not a great runner and on one day I did  not know it was training and did not have enough time to put my shoes on so I ran through the course barefoot.
Something new I have learned this we
ek is Te Reo Maori in one Te Reo Maori task my group finished second and slowly but surely  I am starting to learn it.
Something I am looking forward to next week is finishing my creative writting and then reading it to Piwi class.
I  have shown the value Pono by being truthful everyday this week in and out of school.

Prayer

Today in Te Kahu class we are learning about Creative Prayer here is my presentation.


The Arcade

This is a story of one of the things I did in the Holidays


Once upon a time on the holidays, nearly three days before  school started, we were going away. It was a beautiful afternoon. My family, which includes my Dad, Mum and sister, went to Whangarei for my mother’s appointment. Why she needed an appointment was not my concern then, nor did I know why, but later it was stated in a conversation back home that this was a follow up appointment to one that happened a long time ago. Anyway, we packed the things we needed. My mother told me to pack an extra pair of clothes just in case something happened. The clothes were not necessarily needed. Anyway, we were supposed to pack and go earlier but my family woke up late and took some time to pack.

The journey was normal, we arrived at exactly 2:50 pm and which was ten minutes earlier than I expected. Then we  immediately went to Actionzone to go bowling with the friends we were staying with, but they were a bit late - due to having a newborn baby with them. When we entered, immediately I spotted the prize booth and found a Justice League funko pops for 350 tickets. Straight away I knew I had to get it! We ordered some food and started without them, the food was so crisp and delectable. Two and a half rounds later they arrived. 

Soon I started to lose interest in bowling. I started thinking of ways to get the funko pop. We had the loose change, so  all I needed to do was to  find a game that could earn me enough tickets to get it. Luckily they had Deal Or No Deal - an arcade game all about earning tickets. The next hour or so I spent so much time on Deal Or No Deal, barely even bowling, but in my head I knew it was going to be worth the effort. The highest amount I got was 107 tickets and the lowest was 1 ticket.

 We stayed at Actionzone until it was closing time. At the last minute we counted my tickets, but we did not count them all. I decided the cashier will be able to count so we rushed to the booth with my mountain of tickets. Luckily I had enough and a little bit extra so I bought the funko pop and two lollipops for my sister. The hero I got was Cyborg. It was cement grey with white spaces on the eyes and below the nose. To me it was all I could ever want! We left Actionzone and arrived  at our friends house  which was beautiful and majestic to enjoy the rest of our trip.

The Last Post of The Term

In the last post of the term I want to do a end of term reflection.

What was the highlight of the term ?
The highlight of the term for me was the matariki breakfast on Wednesday I got to eat a delicious breakfast and chat and bond with friends.We were served bacon, eggs, spaghetti, Toast, sausages, Milo and Juice. We each had to donate 2 dollars to the breakfast there was so much food that Kakapo had to finish it of. 

What was your biggest challenge ? 
My biggest challenge was getting my contract finished in time I stressed about it  way more than I needed to but I always finished it sometimes with some lucky coincidence. One of the harder tasks was the self portrait task I am not gifted in art but I pulled it of.One of my favourite tasks was the Manutukutuku task where we made a Maori Kite It was hard at first but I am proud of how the kite turned out.

What was your greatest success? 
My greatest success' were always in STEAM specifically the engineering part of STEAM it was a skill I never knew I had and it was fun to do succeed in STEAM for once. When I first found my skill it was in the Egg-Drop STEAM challenge where I worked with my partner Fynn we both worked really hard. The task was to build a contraption that can hold and protect an egg from falling and our contraption was a success.

What Is Something You Have Learned?
Over the term i have learned a lot but something i never knew was the two other stars of matariki 
Hiwa-I-Te-Rangi and Pohutukawa Hiwa-I-Te-Rangi the star of wishes and Pohutukawa the star that connects people to the dead.I also learned about converting measurements but I still have not mastered it just yet. Something else I learned is a trick on how to divide three digit numbers but like with conversion i still have not mastered it.

What are you most looking forward to this weekend? 
I am looking forward to relaxing because in lock-down I still had to work, Going to Whangarei and seeing the cool sites and tourist attractions and visiting my Uncles family. I want to relax because it has been and extremely fun term and I am exhausted with the amount of work I did. Even though  Uncle's family lives extremely close we haven't visited often because my family has been extremely busy with our own activities.

Matariki Goal Setting

In the last week of term we had a matariki breakfast and in that breakfast we did some goal setting here are my goals below.



Matariki Planting

In Te Kahu for the last week of term we did some matariki planting  and we learned about the Maori gods of uncultivated  and cultivated veges and fruit. I made my D.L.O (Digital Learning Object) with three other people in my group Heavenly,Piper and Tiana. Her is our D.L.O.
