9th of July 2021

I find this class pointless, we learn heaps about being nice and learning about our health and mental health but we don't get graded on this class and it is far to big anyway, my recommendation, keep the class in smaller groups and focus on more interesting topics. 

Reflection of trimester one

Stretch your wallet was alright class, I enjoyed the cooking and learning about budgeting, It was very interesting to learn about how much money is spent on, water, power, clothing, food etc etc. Although on a scale of 1-10 id pick 7 because one of the teachers in particular were constantly putting down my goals for that class.

We're all in this together was a good class, I very much enjoyed learning about the people who fought for rights for women & rights all around. I definitely enjoyed the museum trip where we learnt about our ancestors and got to explore the museum.

Build your own. Personally I like build your own, the teachers understand your point of view and even though its mainly our project they still float around and help us all out & I genuinely appreciate that. One thing I could have done better was figure out what I wanted to do before the first week because I was mucking around the first few weeks in that class.

Literacy, Literacy was alright, I would really like more work on paper, instead of online. There was quite a bit of our tests & work on education perfect and once you get the answer wrong the right answer shows up and then we aren't using our brains properly & to me that classes as cheating.

Numeracy, I did not like numeracy only because numeracy is one of my weakest classes, I'm not great at maths, I never have been. I only know the basics + - x etc etc but I'm willing to keep on learning.

Well being yr 9 & 10 was a class that I found pointless but helpful in a way, it helped majority of the class to recognise our behaviours towards our peers and I enjoyed letting out everything about people being mean to each other. 

Game of live review

 POSITIVE!

The expo was very exciting, plenty of schools were there & excited to learn about future jobs. 

NEGATIVE! The expo was very short & there wasn't enough space for both schools to move freely 

Resilince

Bravery, To succeed you need to be brave to hear the answer no, you have to be brave and confident to succeed

Creativity, You have to be creative to succeed, create new things to make them attract people to your business or work.

Leadership, if you are in a group of two or three, you could take leadership to one area of your project & develop new skills which can help make you and your peers stronger!

                        Amazing spaces!!!!!!

My work all around!

Amazing space // Floor plan

I'm in a class named amazing spaces and altogether it is a very amazing class. 

We are learning how to make an amazing space. 

During this semester I created a box, I've never made anything in woodwork before, I was either too scared or I thought it was boring but then I brought myself together & decided to give it a chance.

 My evidence is in a workspace.

I created a Bauhaus poster with my name on it too.

In conclusion, I recommend to students to choose this class because when I began I wanted to switch out of this class because I didn't like construction, building & art but once I got used to it and began to enjoy it.

My school year so far

 My Modules

- Amazing Spaces 

Amazing Spaces is a fun class especially when I'm on task, I've learned about things I thought I'd never learned about.

- Were all in this together 

Were all in this together is a fun class where you can express your emotion and learn different things about history also giving you a chance to learn about your own.

- Stretch your wallet 

I enjoy this module because I like to experience cooking since at home nobody ever cooks other people do it for us.

- Numeracy 

Numeracy is fun because I can hang out with my friends & learn.

- Literacy 

Literacy is fun because Mrs. Andrews helps me learn & gives me good advice on my learning.

- Athletics day

Was a good chance to catch up with my friends and do some fun activities. 

Prep Reflections

Friday 27th November!

Today I figured out more and more strategies to make macrame. 

Again Kyra isn't here.

when people struggle on their own, they are just in the dark around the corner for the light, the light is when your project succeeds.  

In every job or every project, there are always things that are easy and things that are hard. 

There isn't an experience or new thing to learn that won't have a little bit of difficulty. 

ROSES & THORNS

Roses is a highlight of your project, something you loved about it.  Thorns are something that you found difficult or you disliked.

ROSES 

I never thought there would be something so interesting about cheap string, the string that can create beautiful hand made bracelets.

THORNS 

It was definitely a struggle with not having help from Kyra & it took me a while to find a strategy that actually works. 

If there was one thing I could change, would be choosing a more simple project or given more time.

PREP!

 Today Friday 20th November

I created a doc with false and real money to spot the differences they both have, so I could see what I could add and couldn't add to make the money different to make it obvious that they aren't the same.

Reasoning that I am making false money is because we need to sell our product on market day. Then so no money is taken, You pay the amount of money you want to spend and you get false money in return. You go and spend and buy what you please with your false money. 

My product...  My product is macrame making, mainly bracelets. In the making, the bracelets have been difficult to produce, but I will eventually get there. 

Why I picked macrame... My inspiration for my product was from Mrs Mcholloc Because in the beginning Kyra and I were going to create mini pot plants. But that was too simple. Mrs Mcholloc gave us a challenge and I agree that we deserved a good challenge so we decided to go along with her idea and create macrame. Mrs Mcholloc gave Kyra and my good advice and we learned about different techniques her daughter India used to use back when she made hanging macrame. So Mrs Mcholloc is my inspiration and I picked Macrame because of her.

Struggles I faced... Kyra hasn't been her majority of this class and I don't think there is a reason for that.  The second struggle was not even knowing how to make macrame, but I finally found a video of how to make simple macrame as the other videos were too advanced for my category.

Fortitude

I did not know what fortitude meant.
I now know that it means..............
Encourage people in pain to not give up on themselves.

Reflection
I feel that I kinda have enjoyed this task because it is awesome and its one of the classes I enjoy the most.
I improved my poems and figurative language, Punctuation, Onomatopeia etc by creating poems and then making art about it.

NZ HEROS

Link to the poem I originally createdLink to edited work
Which language features have I used?

A range of language features that I have used are.
Personification: At precisely 6:30 my alarm clock sprang to life.
Personification: Or opportunity knocked at her door.
Adjectives: He writes meanless letters.
Pronouns: The money was really theirs for the taking.
Adverbs: James coughed loudly to attract her attention.
Alliteration: He writes meaningless letters.

What effect were you wanting to create with your choice of language?
I used personification in my poem because I wanted it to sound like a rhyming poem with personification at the same time.


How Successful have you been?
I reckon I'm pretty successful at the moment because I have been using numerous amounts of language features and trying to use dialog. I think that I could at least have a level four multi structural  for my efforts

Post Card

Link to google doc

Link to the google slide

The reason I have a google slide, as well as a google doc, is because it looks more like a postcard on google slides.

You (teachers) can choose which one you like best.

REFLECTION.

My reflection on this assessment is quite alright.

I liked how we got to choose if we wanted it to be on paper or a device.

I just wish that we didn't have so many Ski trip meetings so that we get more than just 35 - 40 minutes so we can give it our best at our own pace.

Morning is here so is New Year's Eve!

Dads Doughey Pancakes and icy cold OJ

I arrived at Nan’s Out of the blue Willow grabs me, Scared as could because Nan is angry because Willows running with the Raro.

We come back with an orange tongue and orange fingers.

Nan’s in the Kitchen Cooking like crazy.

As we set the table.  Laying down the patterned tablecloth, Cups, cutlery, and plates. 

Gathering our family ready for Karakia.

As I reach over like a starved pig and grab the pot of my Nan’s Famous mashed potato.

Lunch was demolished, Summer, Willow and I took up our plates, just about to walk away Nan Says                                     “Where are you three going there are dishes to do”

Willow, Summer and I Run outside, Throw ourselves over the wooden fence and hide.

Willows Parent’s threw a Bonfire Me Willow and Summer were sitting there talking like Crazy about 2019. My cheeks were like roses because Summer passed around some grapes from the woody vine.

I was about 10 0cklock and we decided to watch youtube, jumped into our uncles' bed and started watching a humorous youtube video.

We almost drifted off and then we heard Loud thumping and running, “Lets Play Spotlight at Nans” We all put warmer clothes on.

We walked down the street to nans and it was Pitch black. We began our game of spotlight.

Summer Screamed and I sprinted like a horse in a race. 

Our Papa had set off a firework and it Terrified her. 

He said “it’s midnight get home and go to sleep”

Summer and I laughed our way home and Laughed ours was to sleep. To me, its the most special New Year's Eve an 11y/old girl could ask for.

Self-assessment.

I think I'm relational because I have used a clear presentation with many adjectives, alliteration, and many other puntucation.

Paper Planes Task.

Link To My Work.
I did a bit of work on airplanes but most of the gliders.
I have included quite a few images.
Also, I have added a few facts about George Cayley the first person to build a glider.
A few paragraphs about the most important parts of airplanes too.

Also Here is my paper plane
it's an acrobatic plane because of how it was made.
It either flies backward, sideways or flies into people.

My Reflection on this Task.
My reflection was it was very interesting to learn about the history of gliders and airplanes, Also to learn about the history of the scientists and creators of the first Glider ever made.

Self-assessment.   I think I am multi structural because I easily got Distracted   and I could have been smart and moved but I didn't
Work-wise I actually could have done more because of all the time we hade to complete it.

Peer assessment. Assessor (Olivia)
I think Ava is a Multi Structural because she has completed her reflection, Self Assesment and Peer assessing but however she could have used her time wisely because she could have made this assessment epic.
