Maths

In maths we have been learning about probability. In probability you measure in: Ratios, Percentages and fractions. Probability is another name for chance. If you flip a coin you have a 1/2 chance, 50% chance or 1:2 ratio chance of getting tails. We use these systems to record and measure probability. We use probability in: insurance, the government and shops.  

Meme 2

In E.T. Reo (ELLY TROY REO) we have been making memes. Our quote was:

My way of showing this involves a yes/no format. 

In this I felt challenged as my first idea failed as my drawings were too small and I was running out of time. So I used pic collage to speed things up. I think it payed off, as it looks nice and I finished within the time restraint. 

Athletics day

• What was the most enjoyable part of athletics for you? Long distance running. Why? I came 4th in the race. I was beaten by Trey, Jamie and Camden. I think I am pretty good at long distance running because I am good at pacing myself.
• What are you really proud of? Coming 4th in the 800m race. Why? I usually come 12th in long distance running but I have been training hard.
• What was the most challenging part? High Jump. Why? Because i can't do the scissor kick.
• Where to now? 2nd in 800m run. What are your goals for next time? To have a good scissor kick. Why do you want to focus on this? Because its embarrassing to be the first to get knocked out of high jump.

Writing

In writing we have been creating adverts me and Alex's ad is about a box that can do anything.

The price is $100,000,000,000,000,000 very affordable, here's our video: I added a mistake on purpose please leave a comment stating what it is. 

Bookbuddies

 We are doing book buddies again this term and this term I'm with Jamie. We've been having conversations. And my goal is to keep conversations going. My next goal is to be a large part in conversations.  

E.T.Reo

This term in E.T.Reo we have been making videos to go with our market day at school in our video I (Toby Rea) am Toby, Alexander Christensen is Alex and Edward is barrack o bama. Our product is wooden model planes. 

Prep

In prep we have made model planes for market day:

They are made of plywood. This is a customised spitfire which was sold for $1. We also made jets.  These are not gliders they are models. They can have wheels, tails and cockpits added, as well as symbols.

Art eportfolio post T3.

Description: we have been making self portraits of ourselves for calendar art. My favourite part of the background is of mallard (The fastest steam train ever). The picture shows my favourite thing and some patterns. Here is the slide:

 Feedback/Feedforward: i like your background especially the orange and red bit next to your ear. I ant think of anything you need to work on. Chase
Evaluation: Next time I can use more things to fill my picture.

Writing with Elly

In writing with Elly we have had a focus on sentences. The types of sentences are: complex, compound and simple. A simple sentence has one verb and a subject. A compound sentence has two simple sentences and a conjunction that make sense on their own. A complex sentence is the same except it does not make sense on its on own. 

image: 

Feedback/Feedforward: I think you did well at getting a variety of simple sentences in the slide. You could work on making actual complex sentences and not compound. Abby

Evaluation: I found this task hard as I kept on getting complex sentences that were actually compound sentences. I reckon that the final product is pretty good. 

E T Reo eportfolio sample

description: in Poutama each time the Kapa Haka people go to Kapa Haka the people who don't go stay and do E T Reo. We have had three whakatauki's (A whakatauki is a proverb/saying of wisdom) the whakatauki i chose was: He aha te mea nui o te ao? He Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata, which translates to: What is the most important thing in the world? The people, The people, The people. I disagree with this as people would not be around without water. The third whakatauki was about: if you fall let it be to a lofty mountain. I made a model mountain. 

Images:

Second whakatauki:

Third whakatauki: 

Feedback/Feedforward:I think you are quite right Toby because we would never be alive if we did not have any water in the world.I dont have any Feedback. Shrawan

Evaluation: I found this hard as everyone was telling me: "Oh, you need to restart because it's meant to be of you." But the teachers had said to make a character. My one is meant to be of a taniwha.

book buddies

Description: in book buddies is a reading group with Suzanne and we have been reading a story called the name at the end of the ladder. Here is my Bookapedia book buddies slide:

Evaluation: I find book buddies fun as we are researching the history of snakes and ladders.

Mathex

Mathex is a competition where you use your maths knowledge to answer questions to score points. You have a set time to answer. Here are some of the questions get 3/3 and you will be 1/200 of the way to coming 2nd in mathex:

The things we needed were: Teamwork, communicating our ideas, valuing ideas, building on others ideas and thinking creatively. I improved on magic squares at the start they were my worst enemies and at the end I dominated them. Evaluation: My next step will be to have my team come 1st for that we'll have to master all the types of maths. 

Excellence

Excellence is helping people, being a good friend and being helpful. I find excellence pretty easy to show. This slide is about excellence:
 

Feedback/Feedforward: I like the way that you showed me what would you do when somebody is hurt in the playground. Next time you cloud probably have a breaf description and make your description long. Shaiv 😎

Evaluation: I found this slide hard as I didn't have as much time as everyone else. 

What I found easy was getting examples of Excellence.

SLC Questions

1) How do you think you did on your SLC? I think I did really good in the SLC because I had 5 minutes to spare. What was the highlight? The highlight of my SLC was being over the standard in writing because I am really bad at writing. 

2) What did you do differently to make your SLC stand out? I did the basics behind the posts so they didn't take to long. 

3) How will you make your Home Led Conference in Term 3 be awesome? What things might you do to make it awesome? Make mum and dad nachos and drink and desert. 

Design

On Thursdays I have made planes my first design came 2nd and the second is still undergoing testing. 

This is meant to catch wind. 

Douglas Park Sports Exchange

DPSE or Douglas Park Sports Exchange is when Douglas Park School comes here or we go see them in Masterton. We won the Tararua challenge flag last year but this year we lost it. There are thirteen games in five sports. They won the most games.  Next year we will be going over to Masterton to see them. I was in the only winning hockey team which was Team B. 

. 

Feedback I like how you put a photo on your blog 

Feedforward: I think you should add more witting I the description  

Angus m >:()

Evaluation: The game was on turf and I expected us to win because training on grass is better than on turf as it is harder. We only had one practice so we weren't ready and most people had to go in a new sport. Next year people should be in the sports they are good at. If we do that we should get the trophy. I think the post is pretty good now. Thanks for the feedback Angus.  

Seed2table eportfolio sample

In p4 we had to do Seed2table. Seed2table is where you make homemade meals. The first meal we made was minestrone soup with focaccia bread and for desert chocolate pudding. Other meals included: corn fritters and meatballs. We also did experiments about how plants grow in winter and what to do to make them grow better. 

This is our experiment 

Feedback/Feedforward: I liked how you told what you guys made at seed2table next time you could say how to grow plants in winter. Kyan

Evaluation: My favourite meal was the minestrone soup. I found the experiment hard because I kept running out of time which shows how bad I am at managing my time. 

ET Reo

Every Monday the people who aren't in kapa haka stay at class and learn about Māori fruit and vegetables. I have made a kahoot but ran out time to finish it which is why it only has 3 questions. The questions are pretty hard if you don't have your iPad out so no going on the Māori English dictionary. 

Evaluation: I found this hard because Kahoot was playing up at the time so I had to create a new account.  

"Code Club" eportfolio sample

On Tuesday's me, Patrick and Shaiv go to Code Club where we go practice coding to make games. Some of the games were: clone wars where aliens invade earth ( my one is called bus ball ) and mega maths. Code Club is hard because you have to find things and the guides are in B&W (black and white) and the actual thing is in colour. I like it because some games are fun non-learning games and some are learning games.

Feedback: I like how you explained what you did. Houston

Feed forward: Maybe you can one of your games than just the normal screen for scratch. Houston

Evaluation: I found this blog post hard because I had to have to use someone from code club because someone else would not know about it.
