Explanation on How to be a Self-Directed Learner.

To be a positive learner you have to be positive not passive so you would have a good attitude. Always have cheery attitude and a great smile walking into school. Take every opportunity and give it a try. Also be a good sportsperson, cheer and encourage people when they have their turn. Be organised and focused in the morning. Be open minded and have a growth mindset. And finally have eye contact with the speaker at all times

( Don’t stare because it kind of looks weird staring).

Another way of being a positive learner is having a growth mindset. In McCahon class we have been learning how to use growth mindset. What growth mindset is by using your brain and thinking the right way e.g I will never be good as they are, I will figure out what strategy they use to make them smarter. You have to think right and make the right choices in what words you use. 

In McCahon class we have also been using the learner profile. There are many ideas of the learner profile. For an example like Caring, Inquirer, Open-Minded and Risk-Takers. Caring is taking care of the environment and people; instead of being a bystander and stand up for yourself and help them. Being a risk-taker is by taking every opportunity and giving it your best. 

I hope you enjoyed my explanation of how to be a self-directed learner. Remember to use a growth mindset and the learner profile. Also do the things of the learner profile.  

Hey Guys, This is my 2nd post on week 3 2015. I hope you like my explanation on how to be a Self-Directed learner.

LAST YEAR OF PRIMARY

We are into the second week of Term 1 in school.
I am really excited being in McCahon class with my friends and my Chromebook.
McCahon class and I are setting goals for the next few weeks, I will be sharing my goals later on.
The best thing I really liked on getting back to school was that our fabulous teacher Mrs Kingston made a idea of doing a science experiment. We were all excited to watch the Alka Seltzers rockets pop in the air. It was AWESOME!!

The thing I'm looking forward to is the Kawa of Care meeting. I can't wait to take my Chromebook home.

Make sure you check back to see all the posts I've done on 2015

End of Year Reflection

This is my end of year reflection for this year. I will become a year 6 by next year. This is my last post this year till the holidays. I hope you be safe and respectful to the public. Bye.

I love my chromie!

This is my stop animate I did with my class mates and McCahon class. My team mates were Arnav, Evangaline and me.I hope you enjoy this video. Don't mind the moving because we kind of moved a lot.

Doubling and halving

This is my reflection for my book club. Do you know about book club? Book club is about books that you're interested in. I am in the Ride of the Katipo. A Katipo is a type of spider. I really was interested because of the blurb. But I found out that the Katipo was a human. The human Katipo was called Jock tanner. Plus the main character is Jack. There are other novels you get to read too. We've got Lost, Sign of the warrior, Ride of the Katipo, Flight from Ledron and One wheel drive. You can choose which one you think that you're interested.

Poetry

In writing, me and my class Flox were writing diamante poems. We have been doing other poetry like tongue twisters and free verse poems. Here are two of mine. One is about Monsters and the other is about night or what happens at night.

Snoring Away

Creeping along the dark night.

Tired people, Murders happening, Sleepy night

Tip-toing quietly, Robbers breaking all through the night

Quiet night, Warm night, Cuddling in blankets

Sleeping tight, Not making a move,

While it’s dark through the night

Villagers falling asleep.

Monsters

Scaring Monsters,

 In the dark closet in the room

 Creeping, Scaring, all through the night

Tiptoeing, Hiding under the bed, Hairiest monsters

Hideous creatures, Dribbling mouths

Hungus monster crunching down

Killing people in the night

 Not in sight
