Inquiry presentation

Description: In poutama we went to all three teachers (Elly Ebony and Troy) After we went to all three teachers we chose one of them. I chose Ebony, because it was about animals and biological and behavioural adaptations. Now a  biological adaptation, is apart of the animal for example the stripes on a tiger is a part of the tiger. Now a behavioural adaptation is when it learns do do something like hunting for food.

Purpose: To think like a scientist.

Criteria:

• Think like a scientist.
• Talk like a scientist.
• Act like a scientist.

 Feedback/Feedforward: Well Done Katie I really think you understand how a scientist speaks and thinks, next time you could work on not saying um in your presenting well done anyway. Grace :)
Self Evaluation: I think I did well with my post. But next time I want to have a bit more of an experiment for my presentation.  

Reading

Description:
For reading my goal is comprehension. And we have been learning how to connect. An example is down below of how to connect self to a text/book!

Criteria:

• To use text to text connections
• Make connections to the world etc. text to world
• Make connections with your self and the character
• To Visualize

Big idea:
Connection's
Text to self
Text to world
Text to text
The worry website is an awesome book. I am connecting me to the main character holly.
She only lives with her dad, and gets annoyed a lot, and its the same with me but I live with my mum.

Feedback/feedforward: Great job Katie I agree that you still need to work on text to text and you are really good at doing text to world and text to self. Well Done! You are nearly there. Grace :)

Evaluation: I have been going to work shops and learning how to connect like text to text, text to self and text to world. I think Im good at connecting myself to the text, but I need to get better at my text to text. But a way to get better at my text to text is by getting to books that I know and read  a chapter of both books then connect the things that are the same about them!:)

Catch Me If You Can- Defense

WALT: Defensive skills and movements

Description:

Every week we learn about skills and movement that will help us play sports. This term’s focus has been around defense. We made a video showing some of the goals we have been practicing. I have highlighted the thing I think I have done well YELLOW and one thing I would like to work on PINK.

Success Criteria:

Body Movement

• Weight on balls of feet
• Feet shoulder width apart
• Knees flexed
• Concentration and eyes on ball, head and eyes up
• Push hard off outside foot and go forwards to attack pass
• Quick small feet, stay on balls of feet
• Arms within confines of body
• Take feet to ball
• Land with a SBP

Intercepting

• Body angled to see player and ball
• Anticipate pass and player movement

Restrictive Marking

• Meet player as they start towards the ball/where they want to go
• stay close to the attacking player
• Head and eyes up, arms close to body to avoid obstruction/contact
• Angle body so attacking player is ‘pushed’ away from where he/she wants to go
• 0.9m from ball carrier

Evaluation: I think I did well because ran in and intersepted the ball like our goal was. But next time I could catch the ball insted of hit it.

Feedback/Feedforward: Well Done Katie I think that you also need to try and land in a SBP (Stable Body Position.) The skill I think you did well was staying on the balls of you feet so you were ready to intercept the ball. Grace :)

Discovery time

Description: Every friday our three classes all have a thing called discovery time, and that is when we have some options to do things that we don't do often. And today I did sewing, it was fun I made a dress (But its not the best) Heres a picture!

Thinking about connections

Description: For one of our tic,tac,toe activities we had to think about connections with what we are reading, and at the moment I'm reading worry website and this is my sheet.

Writing "ing" verbs

Description: We had to use a sentence then finish it off or improve it, but no matter what we have to start our sentence off with an "ing" word.


Arriving by moonlight, there were three of us. Sweeting with fear we walked into the cave.

I highlighted the part the was the sentence I joined on to.

Two stars and a wish
