2015 Term 1 Week 4 REFLECTION

Hi everyone, This is my Week 4 reflection what I did throughout the week and why I did it. Also saying what are my next steps. I have enjoyed typing a lot and I'm going to see you later.


What:
McCahon Class and I was doing a spelling test on “ing” words. We were going through what we were doing  today. We took a note taking workshop with the whole class, also doing an activity on how to take notes. McCahon Class and I was taking notes on what happens on Chinese New Year. It was easy and fun at the same time because of all of the concentration and chatting. Also we were doing art on putting paper mache all over our koru patterns we did in Week 2. Even though we were doing reading in groups, we were creating a goal for the term. All of us were working on the author’s purpose.


So What:
Well, we were doing a spelling test because it was friday and we had to practise them as our homework. The reason why note taking skills was a workshop for us was because of all the people that were copying and pasting. There is 3 reasons why copying and pasting is bad. One: It is plagiarizing. Two: The work you are plagiarizing on is not yours. And Three: You might not understand any of the words.

Now What:
Looking for clues around the text in case of the high level vocabulary in the text. I can make an educated guess ( Not any random number) . Finding a lot of evidence to support myself with my learning.

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.
