My Learning Reflection 2019

5/12/19

- What did I do well in my learning this year?

I don’t think I did well on anything , I tried but didn’t try hard enough.

I didn’t really improve on my tests , I either went up by 2 or went down.

Whenever I was given homework to do which was related to my tests , I didn’t do it.

I was more into social media (Instagram , Facebook).

I completed most of my homework but I only did it for the sake of doing it.

I didn’t really understand what I was doing.

Now I know next time to try harder & finish off my homework with a good attitude.

Comic Strip

New School

Friday 22nd November 
My first week in the school was okay.
It's very different because of the rules we have. (No shoes inside , Lunch boxes all together in a box ,  During break time we can't be upstairs or inside the classrooms , etc.) We have all gotten used to some of the rules and we are trying to get use to calling our class names differently. (Te wairua pakiki 4 , 5 , 6) - the rest of the classes are down stairs (Te wairua pakiki 1 & 2). After school there is a walk pathway for us to get home , also a drive through for our parents to pick us up. We don't have patrols anymore. Other than all of those , our school is interesting , we have a recovery room that is sound proof , you can't hear others outside of the room & nobody can hear you either.
It's easier to get together with the rest of the school. We have an elevator for special reasons. I feel like this school made a big change for our school & it is much better than the old school.

Moving to the new school

15.11.19
Reflection

What?
I came late to school , met everyone inside the innovation room / old room 1. After a while we all assembled into the new school. It feels nice to be in the new school , the rooms are so spacious. We went to room 1 & 4s new room & learnt the new rules. Then walked up 20 stairs to get to room 3 , 5 , 7s new room. We sat down & listened to Mr Coackley telling us about the school. Then everyone seperated into their rooms. It was so loud but I could cope with it. We then went to see the toilets , it's nice because we finally all have mirrors inside. The bell rang , everyone stayed inside , it was easy for the teachers. Everyone had toe jams & the smell was trapped. Lunch ended & everyone went back into their spaces.

So What?
We moved on & left a building that was here for 60 odd years , memories will be cherished. I think a change was all we needed. We just need to take care of the new building.

Now What?
We made it in the history SPX , now it's time to make new memories.

St Pius X life story

22.08.19

St Pius' Life
LEARN: To identify something in the life of St. Pius X that is of importance /interesting to you. Explain and give your reason.  (WRITING NEED TO FOLLOW THE WRITING RUBRIC)

What do you find interesting about St Pius’ life & why?

What I find interesting about St Pius’ life is how he always wanted to be a priest from the age 11 up until he actually became one. It’s interesting because I would have changed what I wanted to be while growing up.

Similarities -

• Grew up poor
• Walks to school

Difference -

• St Pius walked to school barefoot because of how poor he was : whenever I need new school shoes I get it because my family is not that poor
• St Pius wanted to be a priest at the age of 11 : I never thought about a job at the age of 11
• He grew up in a family of nine : I grew up in a family of 7 
• He was born in Riese - Italy : I was born in New Zealand
• Pope Pius gave everything he had to the poor to help them : I only give a little , like coins

Bedmas

6.08.19
Order of operation
This week in Maths I have been learning about bedmas. (Brackets - Exponents - Division - Multiplication - Addition - Subtraction) This is the order of long equations.

For Example: 
(25 - 5)  / 5.
Division is supposed to be first but since the brackets is there , subtraction comes first. So 25 - 5 = 20 / 5 = 4.

This is called order of operation : BEDMAS

Narrative Writing

2.08.19
I am learning to write a narrative story and include simile , metaphor or personification.

Love

He feels nothing but pain in his heart as the cold wind whistles it’s way around him.
He thinks nobody loves him. He doesn’t think he is good enough for anyone.
He just sits there thinking silently.

The ocean growls as the big waves splash onto the shore from afar.
He gets up on both feet standing up high on the low brick wall. His legs shake of fear ,
he looks down to see the ocean far away from where he is. 

Suddenly he heard loud voices , worried voices , he looked back &
saw shadows getting closer & bigger. He took a step back, not saying anything
he shut his eyes , stretched his arms out then fell back. He then felt something
grip onto his left hand. He looked up and saw his mother struggling to pull him ,
her tears dripped onto him , then his little sister grabbed his right hand.

 They pulled him up back onto the ground.
His mother fell onto the ground then grabbed him ,
wrapped her arms around him then squeezed him firmly not letting him go.
He started to ball his eyes out realizing what trouble he had made.
He grabbed his little sister and hugged her.
Then heard the words he always wanted to hear.
“We love you!” , a waterfall sprung down from his face. He cried out “I love you too!”

Be grateful

Once upon a time , 

there was a little girl named Aaliyah who had really

high expectations of how she lived. 

She always wanted to live in a big luxury

house with her parents on a street full of other children of her age.

She wanted to have a nice big car where it could take her anywhere she wanted.

She wanted to wear clothes every other rich girl would wear that was multi colored.

But that was only what she dreamed about.

Instead …. she lived in a tiny house with 1 room ,

Aaliyah shared rooms with her parents. They had to walk everywhere ,

so she could only go places her parents would go.

Everyday she had to wear brown shorts & a white top that was both made out of cloth.

She was sick of it. She hated the house , she didn’t care about being “grateful” ,

it was no use if she wasn’t grateful for some ugly tiny house.

So one day , while her parents were out hunting for food ,

Aaliyah took off with her pet dog Lukas.

She walked through a street and noticed a big house with children

running around everywhere. It looked exactly like the house she had dreamed about.

There was a big sign in front of the house that said “FOR SALE”.

She couldn't wait to tell her parents but then she noticed on the bottom of the sign it said that it was £2,500 pounds.

They can’t afford that! She frowned then walked away. 

She got back home to see her dad cleaning the house ,

her mum cooking food.

Aaliyah felt heartbroken that she had said all those things about

the house knowing that her parents worked really hard to buy it.

So she made it up to them.

Every day she cleaned the house on her own , hunted & cooked dinner.

She is very happy to be in this tiny house. She is really grateful to have her parents.

Formal Language

This morning we were reminded about suffix.

• Suffix is a group of letters or one letter added at the back of a word which changes the meaning of the word 
• (er , ing , en , ful , i , ish , &more)

We also were reminded about verb.

• A verb is a doing word : something that is acted 
• (Running , Sitting , Praying , Stare , Jump , Move)

Copy these sentences into your book. 

At the end of the sentence, write in brackets whether the sentence is an example of a metaphor or simile.

1. As slippery as an eel (simile)
2. Arnie was a man-mountain (metaphor)
3. He was a lion in battle (metaphor)
4. She is as pretty as a picture (simile)
5. The striker was a goal machine.( metaphor )
6. The torch lit up the room as if the sun had risen early. ( simile )

Air pollution writing report

3 of 3 best learning I've done this Term

Pollution is the process of making land, water, air or other parts of the

environment dirty and not safe or suitable to use.

My focus is on air pollution.

There are 6 types of air pollution -

carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate matter and lead.

Air pollution is caused by gases , dust , fumes , particles , or smoke.

4.6 million people die each year, mainly caused by air pollution. 

Air pollution comes out when cars turn on -

the smoke comes out from the cars and enter the atmosphere.

People who live in places with high levels of air pollutants

have a 20% higher risk of death from lung cancer than people who live in less polluted areas.

Air pollution that causes death which also have costs.

Air pollution led to one in 10 deaths in 2013,

that cost the global economy $225 billion in lost labour income.

For us to become a healthy world &

stop air pollution we can use electric cars and have less smoking.

We can save the world !
