Hi welcome back to my blog 

this week for math we had to write two challenging mathematics questions and with a buddy they had to try and work out the answer of it by using multiplication and division. Here is my Work: 

What could I improve on? How could I improve on that?

Around The Curve To Camp Writing

 This week for writing we had to do a recap about our YMCA Wainui Camp Experience. We picked 1 activity to talk about and two of the 6 c's. I chose High ropes for my activity and Communication and Collaboration for my two 6 c's. I really enjoyed high ropes so here is my short re cap about it. 

Round The Curve To Camp  

Term 3 week 8 me and my hub kaupeka made our way to YMCA wainui campsite where we got set for some adventures. As we were moving through the camp activities I started to recognize our 6 c’s.

 We headed to our activities, we were finally at high ropes. This activity involved a lot of communication and collaboration. This was also an obstacle many people overcame. This needed a lot of communication to successfully finish the task because if someone wasn’t communicating it wouldn’t have gone very successful. It also needed a lot of collaborations as this was a team task because everyone needed to help each other. I really enjoyed this activity because it was something I wouldn’t usually do at home. It was a challenging experience but glad I finished it. 

I will now use this in the future when I find myself in a situation where I’m nervous, I will just remember, if I could finish High ropes with being happy and proud I can finish this. 

What are some things I could improve on? If so How could I improve on that?

Reading wk6

 This week for reading we learned about hobbies and happiness. We had to make a DLO to display our learning. I made a Google drawing and picked 10 different hobbies and why they could make us happy. Some of learning about hobbies and happiness were that there is many different ways the different hobbies can make you happy. Here is my work that I have made:

Grit Learning

 We have been learning about grit and having a mindset this week for reading, We focused on our biggest take away from learning about one person (of our choice) and put that into our brains to then make a DLO about what we had learnt about them having a growth mindset. I decided to pick Anna Steven, she is a Paralympic runner who went through very hard times as she had got her leg amputated but she showed grit by getting back up and pursuing her dreams of being a runner and shes now competing to win a medal! Here is my poster that I have put together for this task: 

      I hope you enjoyed, 

What where some stand out things you found in my task and what could I improve on? 

 For Reading this week we have been focused on inner peace and what can help us with such. We made colored in the pictures - Hand Peace Sign, Normal peace sign, dove or a heart. We then had to add words that talk about you're inner peace. I put Happiness, love, calm, Relax, kind. here is a picture of my work this week. Picture: 

What helps you have inner peace?

Reading Wk8 Term2

                                       Article Opinions!

For reading this week we had to go onto Kiwikidsnews to find some articles that we could add our opinion to. I found the articles I read for interesting to read and I learnt many new things. So here is my work and I hope you enjoy my post today. 

Deaf Dog Learns sign language Genre: Animals - I think that this is a very important article because it is a really impressive thing to be sharing to the world. One thing I would change is that they didn't really talk about what they are going to do to also help other dogs. They also could tell the steps of how they did it so it could be used with other dogs. 

Stars leading close ANZ Netball Championship Genre: Sport - I think that this is a very important article for many people to catch up on while they might not have been able to see it in action. However it does hold very interesting information but could hove more.  

Virtual reality headsets trialed to test rugby concussions Genre: Sport - I found this was the most interesting out of all of the ones I read about today. I loved how they really added heaps of information and added how it would work and what it would be used for.
