We had the opportunity to go to the universality of Canterbury to listen to some international writers. We had a great time and the writers lives were really inspiring. We have learnt many valuable skills such as learning to be adaptable, researching matters and how to write like you say things in your head.
This week in health we have been learning about the different types of well being. We have mental well being, social well being, physical well being and spiritual well being. With these ideas we constructed a house from paper. Tapa wha is about well being and health and is useful to understand so we can live our lives to their best. We had some issues with constructing the house but we made it work. I participated well and so did the rest of my team. Next time we would build the house differently.
For English we have been working on film studies. Here are the major camera shots with a visual definition. In the photos are my awesome little sister Lauren who helped me with this project.
We are learning about camera shots.
This shows my learning because I have given a visual definition of each shot, photos taken by me.
I am wondering: How much a good camera costs because my phone doesn't have a great one :).
Here is a poster I have made to help people work through problems in the business kete topic. Every thing we do in life has challenges and we need to come up with the best way to work them out. I hope this helps you guys.
This term we are doing a film study. We are going to be studying dragon heart. for Our first activity I chose to make a crossword. Take a screen shot and give it a go in a google drawing and tell me how you go.
We are learning about the language of film and what different words mean.
This shows my learning because I have defined these terms to make a crossword.
Next time I could make the clues harder.
This is a presentation I have made for social studies. I got to choose a topic about traditional Maori topics from a list and I chose food gathering. This was a really interesting topic an I enjoyed learning about it.
Next time I would add more pictures ( they didn't have many of photos on the internet).
I am proud of how I explained the subject.
Here is a slideshow about income for our buisness topic at school. In this slideshow we have identified different types of income and their advantages and disadvantages.
Next time we could add more information.
I am proud of my team ( Jay and Chloe) and how we worked together.
For english we have been creating a passion project. We got to choose a subject to make a presentation about. I hope you enjoy reading about the houses in westeros. I think next time I could include facts about the characters.
In health class we watched a video about resilience. Warning, it is pretty cringy but it has a good message.
what did you learn about? How to show resilience in the face of problems and how to overcome obstacles. My favourite saying from the video is ' some times you need to search for new cheese'.It means you need to move on with your life and don't live in the past.
Was there anything difficult to understand? Why they chose cheese as a metaphor for resilience.
How did you relate to the video. I related because they are talking about how people can be trapped in the past.
How can you apply your knowledge to the business topic? This video has taught me to keep moving forward and that attitude will help me in the business topic.
When do i use resilience? I use resilience when i am doing school work because sometimes it gets difficult or i don't understand. I just have to get on with what i'm doing and do my best . Just keep going guys. I also show resilience when i do martial arts because i am not the best at it. I try and thats what matters in the end.
