Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example

Reflection

This is my Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example.

I felt that this work was interesting because it's very different to the other work I've done.

I found this work easy because the story gave me lots of information about this character.

From this story I have learnt that when you first see somebody they might not be what you think.

Volcano Landscape Art

Reflection

We were learning how to apply paint in different ways. we used cardboard to drag the sky, a sponge to paint the fore ground and card to print the grass.

Leadership Week

The school councillors, house captains & other leaders where spoiled with a visit from people at frucor, which were asking questions and teaching us things about leader-ship. They got us to fill in a chart with things you would do as a leader and they got us to stand in some circles that were around each other and told us that the smallest circle was the comfort zone which had 95% of people and the one in-between was the challenging or learning zone. The largest circle was the danger or panic zone.        I enjoyed this experience and learned a lot from this.

My Natural Disaster Brainstorm

My Popplet Reflection

I have been learning to summarise and record research in my own words.

I found summarising the information into my own words because I understood the text well.

I found this interesting because I leant lots of new things like there was a tsunami going almost as fast as a jet-plane.

Now I plan to find more information about natural disasters.

My Special Place

My Reflection
I was learning how to use my 5 senses to add detail to my writing to make it more interesting.
I felt bored doing this work because it was too easy.
I thought this learning was easy because I enjoyed the place a lot so I can remember what it's like most of the time.
My next step is to do more of theses to challenge myself and also to add it to other writing so it's more interesting.

Show Don't Tell Camp

My Reflection

I was learning to write a show don't tell piece of writing. I thought this was a okay piece of work. The reason why is because it was hard to think about "shows" but the rest was easy because I remember clearly what happened. I should practice doing this in the holidays or my on time, so that I become better at making "shows" and that will make me better at writing.
