Kapa haka Reflection

Description: In Kapa Haka I play the Guitar where I have to play the songs, Nic is the official
player and he is teaching me the songs. In my other post about Kapa Haka I had a goal that I was trying to improve on, here it is.

Goal: I need to work on starting a song and strumming the right rhythm I think I am improving on playing the right chords throughout the songs.

Evaluation: This year I think I have completed one part of my goal because I have
put some effort into practicing and can get the strum right, now I just have to work on getting
the chords right and sounding good.

New Goal: For next term I would like to be able to play at least one song by the end of next term.


FeedBack/FeedForward: You are doing a great job at learning to be the guitar player. You just need to work on strumming louder. Ana :D

Writing

Description: We do Writing every Monday and Thursday I am working on Ideas with Rebecca
and my goal is I know the purpose of my writing. This is my piece of writing about this picture down below. Here is also my planning before I wrote my story.


My Plan:




Story/Big Idea: There is always a Beginning Middle & End in a any story my goal is to entertain so
I wrote a narrative. The clues I put in were... This morning I absolutely had to sharpen my claws. The clue is why didn't Luna just go to the cardboard to get the treats. She sharpened her claws before hand.





Evaluation: I think I have improved on my Ideas and Organized them well by fitting them all in
I think I have improved on a lot of things and I think I could work on using only the words I actually need. I think I also need to work on putting more than 1 clue into my writing.



FeedBack/FeedForward: I think you have very good words in your story but some of the spacing is not right but i really like your story! Katie :)

I am doing.


Mood Board:


















these are going on my head piece


This is my head piece


This is my singlet with colors like a chameleon


Plan:






Questions:

1) The materials that I used to create my garment were: Hot Glue, Paint, Paiper Mache, Card, Tin Foil, 
     Paper, Material (Green.)

2) The most challenging thing about production for me was: The hat making was the hardest because I popped 
    ballon to early and it was still wet and harder to dry.

3) One way I demonstrated a growth mindset during production was: I never gave up when something went wrong
    and I keep going till I reached the point where I was proud.
4) Something I am really proud of about production was: Never giving up and having a growth-mind set all the way
    till I reached my aim.
5) Our school vision is to create agency, creativity and excellence. I showed this by: I showed this by...

Sports, Sports, Sports

Description: I wrote a quick summary about the Tall Blacks, Silver Ferns and the All Blacks. I wrote with a What, When, Why, How and Which into my summary. Here is my summary about the Sports weekend.

Big Idea: Sports Weekend

                                                    Sports, Sports, Sports


On August the 10th the All Blacks played a game of Rugby against the Wallabies (Australia) played in Sydney and we won we also had a weekend of Netball losing against the Diamonds (Australia) 58-55 in Sydney. Also the Tall Blacks (Basketball) we won 70-66 in China against Mexico, they were defeated.


News Report

Description: For one of our tic-tac toes we choose this article http://www.kiwikidsnews.co.nz/blog/finalist-flags-announced/ to make a News Report of I did this Report with Katie I hope you enjoy.

Reason: I think we should change the flag because people get up mixed up with Australians
and it also has the Union Jack which is a British symbol but that was only when they ruled us.

Big Idea: Changing the NZ flag

FeedBack/FeedForward: I think you did a great job because you really explained the article well in pictures it really clear what you are trying to explain I don't think you have to work on any thing.

putting them into a short story, I think that I need to work on making my images clearer.
