My 6 Hats Reflection

Here is a little reflection about my learning this year.

Netbook Reflection 2012

I am a Year 6 Student from Tamaki Primary School. This Year I got my very own netbook this was so cool because I have heard that Netbooks a really good for kids. This is my 2012 reflection about my first year of netbooks.

The positives of my experience this year include making my own movie. This was a good opportunity for me because I got to work in a group.  This helped me to understand relationships with other people. I really enjoyed making movies with others I loved the way my group worked as a team and we had lots of fun along the way. Our movies were amazing because I loved how we worked together and got along with each other and we got it all done.

Some negatives that occurred this year were people in our class not taking risks in their learning. This was because people weren’t taking risks by making sure their work is done I think people were rushing because they just wanted to play games and not focusing on their work. I think that people should try hard in their work so they can get a good job and have a awesome career ahead of them.

It was really interesting that people’s netbooks keep on getting re-imaged and that was so sad because if you get your netbook re-imaged it meant that all everything will be gone.

Saving Energy

Do you save energy?

You are probably thinking “Yes , I save energy” but do you really? Are you telling the truth? Because if energy is still being wasted, then terrible things could happen like Global Warming.

Global Warming.
Global warming might occur if we don’t save energy and in places like the Arctic and Antarctica.The ice could melt and endanger thousands of animals such as  the Polar bear and Penguins.Antarctica and the Arctic used to be beautiful places with their never ending ice and glittering snow but look at them now.Snow has been melting and ice falling into the depths of the sea.Penguins are becoming homeless because of the ice falling and Polar bears have to travel far to find food.  In hot places the climax has been changing rapidly causing the balance of the earth to fall out of place.  

Climate change
Climate change is when the weather changes unexpectedly.
Climate change is beginning to happen and it is not a good thing for the Earth. Already the Earth is showing many signs of worldwide climate change and it is becoming a big problem. If we don’t do something about this, than climate change could ruin the balance of nature and change the Earth. Climate change is making Antarctica hotter, causing it to melt. In islands like Tokelau and Tuvalu climate change is creating a rise in sea levels, that are surrounding them making the islands smaller.This is a huge problem that could change the Earth forever. What can we do about this?

How we can help?
We can help by doing things like shortening our shower times , playing outside once in awhile instead of playing on computer and watching T.V. , turning off lights when we are not using them and taking public transport sometimes to save petrol.Even by doing just a little bit we can save energy.  Slow down global warming, stop climate change and keep the Earth clean. If over half of the world did just a tiny bit to save energy we could help our earth. This will be a good opportunity to help the animals and save our beautiful planet.

My Tukutuku Design

Our Tukutuku design represents the different cultures that me and my partner made. My side which means my family being peace and the pink line means love and respect. The black and red stripes mean maori people sticking together in one peace. The yellow side means bright and let sunlight light up your day. The blue colour means the sea which I like to go for a swim and keep our ocean clean.My side means building new relationship with others and taking risks in my learning. The house means sticking together and helping each other no matter what happens in life. The stairs mean keep on moving forward and don’t let anything hold you back. Our whole tukutuku represents friendship and helping each other in everything.

My Narrative

 



As  the wind was blowing, I could feel my skin getting goosebumps all over. I could hear birds chirping in the air. As I took one step on the rope my stomach was pumping as if I was going to a race, my heart kept on pumping faster faster it goes, it felt like it will never stop because it was pumping so fast. The rope began to wobble, I felt like that I was going to fall off because the rope was moving so fast that I couldn’t keep up with it. I was praying that the rope wouldn’t break or it will be the end of my life. I was carrying a briefcase with me incase I might fall off the rope and smash my head on the road. When I took one more step I began to panic because I was so afraid of heights, I started to get this feeling that I wasn’t going to make it because I was so afraid of heights. As a few hours past by I was still walking on the line, I started to believe that I could make it across if I just believed in myself so I went at a steady pace so I could just walk across it without falling off.


But...

As I was halfway to the end I smiled because I felt proud of myself that I had nearly made it to the end, it was so cool that I had did this because I wanted to face my fears and to be strong and just see if I can be strong without any help. I  just recognized that the rope was stretching further and further and that it was so scary because I had to go more further and that was so not cool because I didn’t want to go far. My heart started to pump more faster and faster as if I was going to die and just stop. I was thinking to myself if I should give up or not I said I shouldn’t because I have already started it so it means that I have to finished it because if you start something you have to finish it so that is what I did and I was so proud of myself.



Until...



I had nearly reached the end and that was so good because I thought that I would have just fallen off and I didn’t even try, I finally reached the end and that was so awesome. I started to think that I have faced my fears and I have achieved my goal by walking on the highest rope and not falling off the rope and giving everything a try no matter what happens. I was so proud of myself that I would do it again.

Team Building Game Reflection

Today we had played a game called Team Building this was so cool because we got to work in a team and that was so challenger because we had to go round people and that was so fun. The most challenging thing was working together because we had to much people in our group not working with us and that wasn't cool because we couldn't communicate with each other. I have learnt about friendship and working together as a team.

N.Z Shake Out Day

           Today was New Zealand National Shake Out day. At  9:26 there was an earthquake drill. I was    at my desk, so I dropped, covered and held to stay safe. One thing we did well at T.P.S was drop under our desks. One thing I want to work on next time is to hear the bell because I couldn't hear it really well. Our meeting Place is the school hall. Remember, in the event of an earthquake drop, cover and hold!

My Garden Description.

The main theme of this garden is ‘whanau’. That’s why there’s a heart shaped pond in the heart of the garden. It obviously represents love and it’s a great view from the tree house in the Pohutukawa tree where children can play. Under the tree is a bench which can spin around and you can relax on it under the shade of the tree and there’s a tap there too. Children can also plant their own plants behind the vege garden on the left. There are tools at the end of every garden bench so you can plant more or take out plants. There is also a medicine garden at the bottom of the pond. Near the medicine garden is a bench where you can use the medicine plants. You can prepare the medicine in the pot next to the bench.The flowers near the pond is for the view and show.And lastly there is a compost mount behind the veges on the right for recycling and we put it behind the garden because it woudn’t fit with the other plants.

My Narrative Story

As I was waking up I could hear my mum shouting out! “Get up and feed the worms!”. When I started to wake up I was shivering with fear, when I started to get change I could still hear my mum moaning to me saying “Hurry up and come down”. I started to get changed so I could feed the worms that we had in our backyard. As I finally finished getting changed I tip-toed as quietly as I could down the dusty old stairs. When I got down the stairs my mum was standing in front of me I was feeling worried because I had took for ages to get down and feed the worms, when my mum had finished talking to me, I was relieved because she was giving me the freaks. When I was finished that, I went to get the scraps from in the laundry, when I went to go in and get it I could hear a noise coming from the worm farm. So I rushed out to see what was the noise, when I got outside I couldn’t believe my eyes there were centipedes all over the place.  I screamed “AAAAHHH!” Mum there are centipedes all over the place.          




BUT...


The centipede were having a war with the worms, it was so funny because you couldn’t really see them having war because they were so small that you couldn't even see them, . All the creatures were getting ready to fight because the centipedes took all the food that I have been giving them each day. When the war began to start I was covering my eyes because I was so scared that somebody was going to get hurt. I told them to stop twice but they couldn't hear me of course. My stomach had butterflies in it because I was getting a little sick because it was the most terrible thing that ever happen to me. The worms began to slither onto the centipedes legs it was so sticky when I went to put some more food scraps into the worm farm because I got stick all over my hand and it was so sticky that I couldn’t get of. My teeth began to chatter because I began to feel the wind come over me, I could here my mum’s voice coming from the house it sounded like she was cooking tea for us. So I went inside to have a shower and dinner.



Until...


When I went inside  mum gave me a nice hot bath I began to think what were the centipedes and worms were doing, I was thinking that they were in the worm from having a sleep from the war that they had today. My mum was trying to wash of the sticky stuff that I had on my hands it eventually came off. When I was finished having a bath I went downstairs to have dinner, I was starving because I had a very long day today, we had meatballs and spaghetti for dinner it was so delicious. After dinner I was so tired so I had to go bed, my mum came and tuck me into bed and she said “Goodnight”. I began to shut my eyes and go to sleep.`

Day 3 Observation

Day 3 Observation...

Nothing has really changed to our flowers. I think it hasn’t changed because there was not enough colours to make it changed.

I wonder what will happen tomorrow...
Will it still be the same...
How will it look like...

Day one - Observation Term 3

Here is what the plant looked like when we keeped it in the classroom for 2 days. We were doing our observation and here is what I have written...

The petals and the stem changed colour. One side of the flower changed colour to a red and the other side changed to yellow! The food colouring travelling through the stem and went up to the petals!


I am wondering if the petals are going to be more colourful or they a going to be still the same colour.

What will happen if the water was dirty?

Will the flowers still be colourful?

What will happen if we keep it in for a week?

My Experiment

This is my Photo that I took with my Experiment. I was learning to see if the stem would change colour if I put it in Food Colouring. Please can you leave a positive comment on my photo.

Hineuwera's Recount Story.

My craft: As we were driving to the snow, my head was spinning and I was getting butterflies in my stomach. I felt like I wanted to spew up because it was are really long trip. As we finally got there I saw a lot of people putting on their warm clothes and getting their gears ready to go in and start skiing. People were crowded around the entrance rushing  to get in the snow to have fun. After that the gates slowly started to open as people were pulling them and stomping their feet as loud as they could, as the gates finally opened everyone started to run in and started to play around.

As we started to go in, we were throwing snowballs at each other and making snowmen in the snow. After that we had a competition who can make the best snowmen and it was so fun because we were busting each other's snowmen! After that we got to have races in the snow and we had to see who was the fastest skier in our family. Later on we had lunch outside and it was so delicious we had sandwiches, drinks, pies and cookies.

Later on we went back in there and started to ski. We were throwing snow at each other and having a blast! It was the best day I ever had. We were having so much fun making snowmen and throwing snowballs at each other everyone was having so much fun that we had more races and more excitement throughout the day. It was the best day that I ever had in my entire life and I will always remember it when I’m older.

Later on we went home because everybody was getting tired and sleepy, so we packed all of our stuff and put it in our car. After that my family went in the  car and we started to go back home.  It was covered with darkness when we left and everybody was tired. I was thinking about the day that I had today I was thinking it’s not all about winning it’s about having fun and sharing the joy with each other and that is what I learnt today. As we were getting closer to our house my brother and sister were fast asleep they really had a good day today. Finally we got home and my Mum and Dad tucked all of us to bed and said “Goodnight.’’ We all went to bed and had a good rest.

Hineuwera's Movie Magic Evaluation

I think that Good Actors come first   because...  If they were bad actors it will be all mucked up  and they won’t know what to do because the boss won’t tell them. If there were good actors everything will be alright  and they will know what to do because they do what they are meant to do.

I put a flash camera and a clear Script second because... if they forgot what to say they will know because they have are script and if they need are flash camera they will have one because it will make it more flashy so the people who watch it, see it clearly.

I think the least important element is Fancy Costumes because... they really don’t need it because they might get dirty when they having the movie and it might just be boring just to watch them to wash the cloths when they just can get into the movie..

Other important elements that aren’t included here are:
Motion, time and composition.

My biggest lightbulb moment while learning about movie magic was... When we made our storyboards because it  told  us what we need to do next  in our movie so our movies  can make sense and so they  can be good and funny.

Room 8 Speeches

Room 8 have been studying Movie Magic. Part of making movies, is speaking clearly. We put this into practice by planning, crafting, practicing and presenting speeches. The topics we chose, were topics that would influence the thinking of others. We hope you enjoy!

Speech Reflection.

How did you feel about presenting your speech to the class?
I felt really shy at the start, but when I got to the end I felt really happy that it was over and done with.

What was the hard about preparing a speech?

The hardest thing was to write the information and put it into our own words like we have to write it again.


What did you enjoy most about speeches?
I enjoyed people loving and giving positive comments at the end it made me feel happy and cool.




How could you improve your speech making next time? I will try and remember my parts when it is my turn to speak so I can give eye contact.
