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.

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

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.

What do you think about this rule? Is it fair that people are charged up to $100 000 for overfishing?

On your blog, tell us what you think about this rule and why you think it!

Yes I think they should be charged but I don't think they should be charged that much. They should just be charged just $500 because that is enough.

They should be charged because they are killing fish which is God's creation and shouldn't be treated with disrespect. Also because the place is private so they shouldn't be doing it anyways.

On your blog, write a short story about what you think is happening in the picture. Be sure to tell us where you think the people are and what you think they were doing at the time that they stopped to pose for the selfie. To earn full points, the story must be 8 – 10 sentences long.

A young adult is taking a photo on top of a tall building 

where you can see the ocean and a lot of other buildings basically |the view|. 

I don't have any place in mind of where I think she is. 

I think she fell in love with the view that she just had to stop to take a photo. 

You can see a lot of yellow and red buildings. The clear sky with no clouds.

The dark green / blue ocean. 

She doesn't look scared but also is trying to get a good angle while trying not to fall of the building.

She is on the edge of the building which makes the photo look more interesting.

The green bushes and tress , also the huge bridge. She must have gotten a very good photo to treasure in her phone.

On your blog, tell us how you will solve this maths problem. You can write your answer in words, use a Sketchpad image or post a video explaining how you would figure it out. Be sure to give us your final answer. .

Adult can lift 25kgs, 

25x4 = 100kgs, 25x8 = 200kgs. + or double to make it 400kgs with 16 audlts, 

Add 4 to make 100 more kgs. 

The equation is like this now

25x20 = 500kgs

               

Adults and children

10 Adults and Children , 

10x25kg = 250kgs, 10x15kgs 150kgs. 250kgs+150kgs = 400kgs. 

Add 4 more adults(25kgs) to make another hundred

The total is

14 Adults 

10 Children
