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.

Grasshopper Tennis Sample

WALT: Impove our small ball skills like catching, throwing, and hitting.

We have been participating in a tennis programme with Big John (John Salisbury) from Tennis Manawatu. He has taught us some tennis skills that help with controlling and hitting the ball 

What are you most proud of and why? I am proud of all the skills I have learned and practedisted.

What challenged you the most and Why? What challengened me was when we did some of the games like temple tap down and lobster.

Next time, what is a goal you can work towards? Maybe next time I could practice at home so I could get better at temple tap down. 

Why? We are doing this because then we can review our skills and show what we can so to our parents.

What? We did lessons every Thursday and keeper going for like 5 or 6 weeks.

How? We did our lessons with big John at the court.

What I Learned? What I learned was that it's best to hit the ball at a angle.

I think that next time I need to practice doing two bounces and then hit it over the net. 

Feedback I think that you did a good job expian it.

Feedfoward Next time you should make the picture clearer.

Integrity Sample

W.A.L.T. Show Integrity

What is integrity? Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is looking.

Example's of me showing ntegrity around the classroom.

I show integrity by not cheating in tables challenge.

I also show integrity by picking up rubbish, pens, pencils and gules sticks.

Why? We are doing this to Show our understanding of integrity and show it.

What? We did a panoramic photo showing integrity.

How? We learned all about our team valve so we can show integrity.

I think that we did a good job and that I would give myslef a 7 out of 10 but we could improve it by making the faces clearer.

Feedback-I think you did a good photo/panoramic

Feedfoward-taking the photo a bit closer.

  Heat And Temperature
  
  

  Did you know that heat and temperature are not the same thing? Scientifically speaking hot and cold is called thermal energy.

  
  

  The hotter something is the more thermal energy it has and the colder something is the less thermal energy it has. For an example if you go in a hot pool and then go in a cold pool you would feel colder because all the thermal energy in the pool is trying to get to the same temperature.

  
  

  The Reason we call thing hot and cold is because we compare that thermal energy with our own body temperature. 

  
  

  People use thermometers to measure temperature. When you put a thermometer outside the atoms in the mercury start to slow down and drop so the temperature is lower, outside but when you take it inside the thermal energy in the atoms start to get excited and start to move and jump up and down more so the temperature starts to rise. 

  
  

  The hotter something is the more thermal energy it has so it rises and the colder the thermal energy the lower it goes on the thermometer.

  
  
  I think that I did a good job and I would give myslef a 8 out of 10 but maybe next time I could expian about the atoms.
  
  
  Feedback I like how you explained how heat and Temaperture good
  
  
  Feedfoward you could say that was my first draft and now it is my better one to say there is not two stories

Science Sample

W.A.L.T show our understanding of how energy works. 

What? We are making movies to show energy.

Why? We are showing what we understand in energy.

How? We learned all about potential and kinetic energy and then we we made a video to show our understanding.

I think that i did a very good job and that I would give myslef a 9 out of ten and that I could improve the video by straightining the animations. 

Feedback I think you did well because I have a good understanding of what you are doing

Feedfoward I think you could give the audience more understanding with the soccer ball.

Litercery Sample

WALT Rote learn our spelling of by heart

Why? To show a strategy to help us with our spelling words, to share during our Student Led Conference.

What? We did mnemonics to help us with our spelling.

How? By learning how to write a mnemonic so we can use them to help us with our spelling.

What I learned? That mnemonics are words using the first letters of another word to form a sentence and that helps us remember them. Eg: Said : Scott Ate Isaac's Dog

I think that I did a good job on the mnemonics but I could add a few more words but otherwise I think I did a good job and I would give myself a 9 out of 10.

Feedback Mitchell I think you did really well at explaining what you did and how you did it.

Feedforowd Maybe next time you could change the fonts and colour a little bit on you poster so people can read it more easily.

I think I will give you a 8 out of ten.

W.A.L.T Multiply Two Digit Numbers By One Digit Numbers

Why To show we understand the strategy, to share during our student led conference.

What We did the split strategy to solve two digit number times one digit numbers.

How I did a poster to show my strategy.

What I learnt That you can easily solve two digit number times one digit number if you split them.

Evaluation I think I did a very good job on doing the poster and that I would give myslef a 9 out of 10 because I explained  It clearly and thatI could improve it by adding and explianing a few more questions.

Feedback You did well at explaining the strategy.

Feedfoward Maybe next time you could add another question.
