Term 2 Reflection

Sport Sample| Grass Hopper Tennis.

WALT: improve our small ball skills like catching, throwing, and hitting.

Description: We have been participating in a tennis programme with Big John (John Salisbury) from Tennis Manawatu. He has taught us some tennis skills that help with controlling and hitting the ball 

Why? To reflect on how we are going with the tennis skills we have learnt. We will share this during our Student Led Conference.

Task: complete the rubric with targets to show your reflection. Make a comment to the questions below?

Evaluation:

What are you most proud of and why? That I could do pat the dog way better than last year because last year I was horrible.

What challenged you the most and Why? Proberly the pancakes witch is hitting the ball and turning the racket that is really hard.

Next time, what is a goal you can work towards? Next time I want to be able to nail roll backs.

Buddy assessment: I think that you need to work on cutting the cheese because you can't hit more than twice in a row.

Writing sample| Heat and Temperature.

WALT: inform

DESCRIPTION: Write an explanation about something you have learned about energy.

  

Heat and temperature

Did you know that heat and temperature are not the same? Well if you just answered yes you are wrong! Oh but no need to panic I'm gonna tell so sit back relax and read on......

Did you know that heat and temperature are not the same thing? Heat can only be something hot/warm and temperature can be something warm and cold. A couple of weeks ago we did an experiment with warm cold and room temperature water. First we put one finger in the cold water and another in the warm water at the same time. We left that in for about 20-30 seconds then we put them in the room temperature water for about the same time. The finger that I put in the cold water was cold and the hot water was hot because the atoms were trying to get to the temperature of the water. 

Thermometers 

People use a thermometer to see what the temperature is. You might use a thermometer at home if you spike to see what your temperature is.Another experiment we did was leaving the thermometer outside over night. But before we did that we looked to see what the temperature is. It was 21.c. When we got it out the next day it was at 15.c. Everyone got a chance to look at what the temperature went up to 30.c. Me and someone else left it on the table for a few minutes and it went down to 25.c. Diagram below.

Self assessment:  I think that I did a good job but next time I could plan and add more verbs.

Buddy assessment: Wow Maia, That's the best intro I've ever heard!!! Awesome job but next time add in a bit more detail on why heat and temperature are not the same. Georgia O :)

Self Asseessment: I think that our group did well making this video.

Next time we could use better camera angles and could have done our recording on a less windy day.

Other wise I think our group did well

Buddy  Assessment: Maia contributed well in this video and she has made an awesome video too. Georgia O :) 

Science Sample | Potential & Kinetic Energy

W.A.L.T: Show our understanding of how energy works.

Task: this term we have bean doing a lot of science around energy. We had to make a movie on our understing on energy. We got into groups of two/three from a different math group to mix it up. My group choose to show understanding around potential and kinetic energy. Hope ypu enjoy it.

Evaluation 

Self assessment:  I think I did a good job and choose good people to qork with so I stayed on task. I tthink our group did well around the learning intention because we showed the difference betwen potential & kinetic energy. Next time I think our camera skills could be better and the voice over could be louder.

Buddy assessment: I think you did an awesome job of  your presentation & I think there is nothingnyou can improve on. Georgia O

Reading Sample |Mnemonics.

W.A.L.T: Rote Learn

Task: we had to get the first 5 words from our spelling list and then make a sentience and every word in the sentience had to start with the the letters from the word eg:                                                            Big Elephants Can Always Understand Small Elephants=Because.

Self Assessment: I think that I will be able to spell these words now because these are really easy sentences to remember. Next time I want to improve on not using animals or the names of animal because I used then quiet a lot.

Buddy Assessment: I think you have done an awesome job with you Mnemonics by usingdifferent creative  words.  Next time you could add a bit more detail to the poster. Georgia O :)
