Learning Reflection 2019

This slide deck is about my learning in 2019.

Mathematicians - Math Strategies

WALT use different math strategies to solve addition equations. 

These are one of my math strategies. Rounding and Compensating is a really great strategy because all it is, is rounding up a number and then adding the answer to both of them.

I learnt how to do this strategy by using the class site. I practised all of the equations until I got it sussed.  I used my maths book and my slide on my drive to practise the equations. I will tell my friends to look at my video. 

Look at my two learning videos

Film Festival Maniakalani

On the seventh of the eleventh 2019 Te Manga, 8 students from Te Kauru and some other people from other schools came for an adventure to the cinemas to watch a-few films (including Te Manga's film). When I walked up the red carpet I felt like I was part of a celebrity. The first person I saw was Harley because Harley was taking pictures and videos by the red carpet. When I went into the cinemas I felt really excited to see my own face on the big screen. When I saw my own face on the big screen I felt like I was the Master Movie Maker. My favourite two film's was Making Friend's and The Trespasser.

My RWC Country - Georgia

The Jvari is a monastery and it lives in a city called Mtskheta. It is about twenty-five metres high. 

This is the Jvari

The weather forecast in Georgia is very similar to New Zealand and really warm. 

This is my mapping activity showing the capital city and other countries that border Georgia.

First Draft Duffy Theatre Show

At the start Duffy was so excited because he was going to his favourite cousins house for the school holidays. When he got there he was bored and sad because Sam was addicted to gaming and got really frustrated. While Duffy was bored he put on Nana Whetu's glasses and did the dumpling dance. Then things got a little bit coo-coo!! 

Then Duffy magically soaked into the Magic Bricks game that Sam was playing in the lounge. When Auntie Grace came to the lounge to ask where Duffy went. Sam did not want to say that Duffy disappeared into the game, but Sam did tell her mum. They didn't know how to get out of the game. So Auntie Grace got Nana Whetu's Magic Bricks book to know how to get out. 

Sam read the book and thought that she found Nana Whetu's recipe for dumplings but it was actually the dumpling dance but. They did not know that it was the dumpling dance. Sam put on Nana Whetu glasses on and tried to do be like Duffy so Sam could help Duffy to get out of the game. Sam read the book and thought that she found Nana Whetu's recipe for dumplings. 

Then Auntie Grace put on Nana Whetu's glasses but she did not get sucked into the game. Then Sam said that the recipe must of been the dance that Duffy did when he was wearing Nana Whetu's glasses. Duffy and Sam heard a weird voice that gave him clues. The clues were to help Duffy and Sam make words. The first word was inventor and then Whetu.
