Monday Discovery Time

Description: Every Monday in Poutama and Poutokomauwa, we do this thing called Discovery Time. Discovery Time is were we have lots of choices of activates to Discover more on.

My activity:
I chose to do sketching/drawing.

Whats was hard about my activity:
The hard thing was trying to perfect my picture and copy all of the right things from the picture I was coping from.

What I liked about my activity:
I really liked the fact that I could keep on trying and trying and then in the end be happy with something I tried really hard to do.

Another thing I have been working on is sewing. For sewing I have been working on a pillow. I didnt finish how I wanted it to, but I was still happy with it because I really tried.

The hard thing about sewing (for me):
The hard thing for sewing is trying not to prick yourself with the needle. Its kind of impossible to not prick yourself, but you an try!

What I liked about sewing:
I really liked the fact that it was just really fun to do and I could just laugh when I pricked myself, and trying to make a pillow is very fun!

Monday Discovery Time.

Description: Today in school we did this thing called Discovery time. Discovery time is were we get to chose an activity to do and discover more things about that activity. I chose to do sewing. In sewing I discovered that it is very very hard to do hand sewing, because you have to try and keep the stitches the same length apart. One challenging thing about sewing is, to try not to poke your self with the needle, but its pretty much impossible to not poke your self. Its really fun doing discovery time! I think that next time I might try the stilts and hand knitting!

E Te Reo Portfoldio Sample

Description: On Monday afternoon's we do E Te Reo and we have been learning a couple of things. The first thing is a song by Stan Walker called Aotearoa and the other thing we learnt was maori fruits and veggies, then we had a choice if we wanted to learn the Aotearoa song or to make something that includes maori fruits and veggies. I made a game with 4 fruits in it and you have to go through the game and if you land on a fruit you have to guess what the fruit is and then flip the card over and see if your right or not.

This is a picture of my board game.

The 4 fruits I did was Tomato, Orange, Lemon and apple
 In maori these are        ------------------------------------------
                                    Tōmato, Arani, Remana and Āporo

Feedback/feedforward: I think you did a good job on making a good quality board game and I think that is someone played they would learn from it. I love how you have used pictures to make people wanna play it. Next time you could make it bigger and maybe more challenging. -Zara

Evaluation: Thanks Zara Yes a think that next time I could make it bigger some more fruits would make it super good. But i'm still really happy with it.

Japanese Portfoldio Sample

Description: On Thursday afternoons we do Japanese with Kelly. We first learnt how to count to ten in Japanese, then we learnt how to write numbers up to ten in Japanese (but i still need to work on that), and now we are learning to ask questions and and answer to some questions. We are doing this because all of the year 6's are going to IPU (International, Pacific, University) and we are going to meet some Japanese students and we are going to introduce our self to them.

This is a slide of my Japanese:



And this is a picture of my name in Japanese that I painted

Feedback/Feedforward: I think you did a well on making sure you name was tidy and clear to read and it looks like you took your time to do it. I like how its big so it stands out. (No feedforward its perfect!!) -Zara

Evaluation: Thanks Zara I also think I did a good job with making it clear for others who don't do Japanese!
