WALA: The Learning Pit

                                                Strategies To Get Out Of The Pit

You can get out of the pit by never giving up and when you need help seek it form a expert.

Start easy then get slightly harder then keep going and then you would of had made your way to succes.

Try and if you don't pass well then try again.

Use materials to help you get out of the pit.

Take small steps and practice and practice then you will get out but only to find yourself in another learning pit.

                                          Things you can say to get out of the pit

You can always say don't give up success might be waiting just around the corner.

If other people can do this then I can do this.

Keep on going succes only happen when you are fouced.

Good learning always happens in the pit. That's why it's called the learning pit!

Description: We have been learning about when good learning happens.  

Task: Share what you know about the learning pit.

Criteria:

Draw the Learning Pit.

List at least 3 feelings that you might have when you are in the pit.

List at least 3 strategies that you could use to get out of the pit.

Label where good learning happens.

List 3 things you could say to yourself when you are in the pit.

Evaluation:

Reflect on a time when you have been in the pit.

At math I was in the pit because I did a two prove it's in 40 minutes.

How did you feel when you were in the pit?  

Challenged flustered stressed because I didn't know if I should practice on study ladder or just prove it.

What did you do to work out of the pit?

Take small steps and practice then take another step and soon you will be out. 

Feedback:It looks like you have a clear understanding of how it feels to be in the learning pit and how it feels to be at the top of the pit, great work.  I think I really like about your post is when you were explaining how you could work out of the pit, especial the bit when you said " then take another step and soon you will be out" because that is very positive for people the think they can't get out. You are a great role model for others Mitchell!

Feedfoward:Maybe you could put the definition for the words you use to describe how you feel for example people might wonder what flustered means so you could put what it means at the bottom of your post.

SMART Goals

W.A.L.T Set smart goals

S.M.A.R.T. means Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-sensitive.

Specific: Don’t be vague. What exactly do you want?

Measurable: Quantify your goal. How will you know if you’ve achieved it or not?

Attainable: Be honest with yourself about what you can reasonably accomplish at this point in your life, taking into consideration your current responsibilities.

Realistic: It’s got to be doable, real and practical.

Time: Associate a time frame with each goal. When should you complete the goal?

My writing goal is to...use subject specific vocabulary to support the meaing.

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because...so I can support the meaing and give the reader more information.

I will accomplish my goal by...learning more specfic and interesting words in my spelling and then add them to my writing

My reading goal is to... Make connections between what I know about the world

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because...so I can take what I know and then

expand that knowledge.

I will accomplish my goal by... By reading the text and see what I know about it and then ask questions.

My maths goal is to...chose the most appropriate strategy for a given problem

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because...it might be faster for one strategy and slower for another so I need to choose quickly.   

I will accomplish my goal by...asking for a problem and then quickly chooses my strategy to work it out.

My personal goal is to..work more efficiently in a chosen group

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because...usually I chose my own group that I can work well with so I don't work that well with other peoples chosen groups.

I will accomplish my goal by...trying to be more involved in group activites.

End Of Term Reflection

My End Of Term Reflection 

WALT: evaluate our learning honestly

What is an effective learner? 

A effective learner get straight on with there work and dose not sit around friends because they are blockers. Also a effective learner doesn't waste time wondering around looking for a eon or a book.

What were the highlights for this term? Why? 

Grasshopper tennis would be my first highlight for the term because I got to learn lots of new skills and got to practise them every Thursday. 

Writing was also a highlight for me because I got to write about energy and do lots of cool experiments and then write about them.

Math because I got to learn how to add decimals using algorithms.

What were your greatest challenges this term?  Why? 

One of the challenges for me was doing temple tap down at grasshopper tennis because the ball keep bouncing into the net.

Cross-country was also a challenge for me because I had to run every day and at the end of school I was alleys tried.

 

How are you going towards acting with integrity? Why?  How could you improve? 

I act with integrity by also doing what I get told to do and I always pickup after myself.

I could improve by all ways finishing my work on time because sometimes I get distracted by friends.

What are your goals in our learner disposition wall?  Where to next?

My goals are to finish all the priorities and then move on to specials.

I could move up if I always look out for blockers because I sometime forget.

Goals

W.A.L.T: Set smart goals.
For this task we had to think of two goals for camp that we want to achieve. We did this task because we are going to highland home camp next Tuesday. Here is a exsample of one that nic did.

These are my goals.

1.I aim to always learn new things. I have chosen this goal because I like learning new this and also I think that alerting new things are fun.

2.I aim to encouraging people to have a go at activities like if they are scared on the rock climb I want to try and encourage them to have a go.

Here is a link to another exsample on the class blog.

Poutama Rama blog

I achived my first goal always learn new things. I learnt that air rifle bullets go blunt after you used them and will not shoot properly if you try to shoot them agian. I picked this goal because there is so much to learn about and if you are not going to start now then when are you going to start learning? I also picked this goal because if you keep learning the same thing you get nothing out of your work.

I achived my second goal to encourage people. I did this by encouraging Ross to go down the abseiling tower when he was scared and wouldn't go down. I picked this goal because people can get scared when They are doing, some activates but all the team has to do is, encourage them to try again.

Comment: I like how you had some examples of how you  competed your goals
