Libarian Merit #3

This week I went to the library on Wednesday. I started of putting way the books with Johanna then I went to the desk to check out peoples books for a while. Then it  got busy I was helping people use the laptops and a few younger students find book for there age group. I was showing I was goal focused because I was looking at the at the 40 book challenge photos and people were asking me where to find different genres of books they wouldn't usually read.

The care value I showed was: Be a positive role model because when I was looking at the 40 book challenge people asked me questions and where getting more encouraged to do it.

Band Merit #3

At band on Tuesday we got given the song "Hey Jude" it was hard because I dont usally play slow songs after a while of practising Mr Rule realised we cant all practice together so we are doing different practices everyday for different instruments (Keyboard, Flute, Violen, Guitar, drums and accordian) so for now on I practice on Mondays with the other guitarists.

The care value I showed was: contrubitue to class and group discussions because I  played my instrument when I was asked.

Writing

In writing I have been learning to:

• use all basic punctuation independently
• attempt more complex punctuation (eg semicolons, colons, parentheses)

I have been especially focussing on using parentheses and commas. I have highlighted these in green where I have used them as well as other punctuation that I changed because it was used incorrectly. Here is a piece of my writing that shows this.

Games with no or minimal equipment

In PE we have been participating in a variety of games that require little or no equipment.

Below is the Matrix which shows our progression in this unit of learning.

The table below shows my understanding of games with minimal or no equipment.

(Fill this table in, in as much detail as possible. )

Examples of Games that need minimal or no equipment.	What equipment would we usually need to play these games.	Why do we play games with minimal or no equipment?
* French Cricket * tag games * cricket * indian tag * octopus * invisible touch * touch	* bibs or bands * cones * whistle	* games with no or minimal equipment equipent can be played anywhere  *they are quick and easy to set up and pack away

My Strengths.  

Some things that I have done well during this unit of learning are Joining in because I am not standing back and letting others do everything for me.

My Next Steps.

Some things I could improve on when playing games with minimal or no equipment are listening to the rules at the start because sometimes I dont listen because it know what the rules are.

Libariain Merit # 2

On wednessday I went to the Kauri run bike run as soon as I got back I went to the libary for my duty with Johanna first of all Johanna and I put away the books that needed a place and then we went around helping other students to find books then I taught a couple of people How to put reserves on books at home and at school while I was doing that Johanna was on the libary desk she asked me a couple of questions about how to do things and I told her.

The care value I showed was: Be a caring friend because I helped people place reserves and Johanna learned how to use the desktop I also helped children find books to read.

Ashley Choir Merit # 2

I went to Choir today and this was our second session we had Mr rule and Miss harris there teaching us we started of with a warm up which was counting up and down in tune it sounds really easy but it isn't then we talked about harmonies and we learnt how to harmonise it was really fun then we watched a video of a choir sing Africa Here is a link

One of the care values I used was: Be resilient when challenged because I was put on the spot and asked what is a harmony and I had to answer.

Square numbers to 100 and their matching square roots.

In Maths we have been learning:

Square numbers to 100 and their matching square roots.

This is part of our basic facts knowledge.

It is important to just know these as we can use this knowledge in other areas of maths.

Here is a link to our online modelling book. Link

Here are the IXL screenshots that show evidence of my learning.  

My next learning step in Maths is……. analyse your Asttle test results.
