Weekly Reflection Week 9

Tōtara Weekly Reflection

Term: 1              Week:9

Some work I am proud of… (add evidence and a brief explanation)

I am proud of the way that I have been doing my writing. This is because I have been completing it to a high standard by using lots of language features and descriptive language. The teachers and Mitch have seen me doing this.

Here is my Mihi Art … (Picture)

What is my personal goal for next week?

Next week I would like to set a good example for others. I will try to do this by sitting on the mat nicely and not talking when the teacher is. Also working independently by myself or with one or two others. This will also help me complete my work.

This fortnights Tōtara goal is responding appropriately and I achieved/showed this by…

I achieved this goal by doing whatever the teacher says when the teacher asks. Also whenever something doesn't go my way I respect it.

Between now and the end of term what do I need to do on my passion project?

Mitch and I are going to create one or two more pieces of food and then we will make a slide show on what we have doon over the term.

Weekly Reflection- Week 6

Week 6 - Reflection

Some work I am proud of…

our passion project. I think that we have been working really well together and we have made quality food.

Something that has challenged me this week is…

 math's. I didn't really do that great at the start for long division and then as I got shown how to do it I learnt how to it.

A school value that I have worked hard at achieving this week is… (add evidence and a brief explanation)

 create. This is because i took my time to make the food and it ended up pretty good.

A school value that I need to work on is…

Be brave. This is because I haven't really been doing anything that challenges me and I have basically only been doing the same things.

This fortnights Tōtara goal was Time Management and I achieved/showed this by...

Being on time to everything and being at the right place at the right time.

What is my personal goal for next week?

Next week I would like to try my best at reading to learn and to focus.

My draft and editing:

Published writing:

Have you ever felt like giving on something that you thought would be easy. Well let me tell you it isn't a great feeling.

I started feeling like it was going to be a breeze. But then as I saw other people people going up it, I started feeling as small as a mouse. When I first got in the harness I felt like a hunchback. As I got connected to the steel bar, I knew I was going to be challenged. I sat back and relaxed until I got all the way to the top.

When I got to the top I had the butterflies. I took a second and waited until... I pulled the rope to make

me swing. "Whoosh" I went down the 17.5 meter swing. It was awesome, It felt great. Even though I dropped my gut, I enjoyed every bit of it.

When I got back on the ground it felt amazing. Especially when I got the harness off. I felt like I could do it all again.

My reflection and next step:
I like the way I used a variety of sentence types.
My next step is to use more descriptive language.
