WEEK 4 REFLECTION What did I achieve this week during Passion Project time? Our group managed to get a head start on our presentation so we could do more slides and make our presentation more interesting. What challenges did I have? We got a little stuck on rating them and getting enough slides to present so we can continue our presentation  next week. What am I going to work on next week? We are going to finish our presentation so we can present.

WEEK 4 REFLECTION What Learning did you find challenging this week? I found my reading challenging because there were  too much hard words and long words that I don't know how to pronounce. How did you use a growth mindset to overcome these learning challenges? We highlighted the words that we didn't understand so then the teacher can explain them for us. What is the piece of the work you are most proud of this week? Writing about our super hero's adventure plan. Why are you proud if it? Because I used a lot of cool features and interesting words to make my writing fun and interesting to read not boring.

WEEK 3 REFLECTION What did I achieve this week during Passion Project time? We made little bows with silk/ribbons and we also hot glued plain black hair ties onto the bows that we made. What challenges did I have? We had challenges making the bows and making them symmetrical on both sides so it wouldn't look weird. What am I going to work on next week? We are going to start on our presentation with is a slide so we can show what we have done these three weeks.

WEEK 3 REFLECTION What Learning did you find challenging this week? My writing because I had some really good ideas but I didn't know how to put them into good sentences that aren't boring. How did you use a growth mindset to overcome these learning challenges? I asked Ruby and Hannah if it makes sense and does it fit in with what I'm writing to and what other language features I can add to make my writing more interesting. What is the piece of the work you are most proud of this week? I am most proud of my math. Why are you proud if it? Because even though I already know what we are learning about I was still listening

PASSION PROJECT PROPOSAL My Passion Project title is…   making our own decorations. What are my big questions to guide my learning? What kind of Decorations are there? How are these Decorations Made? Do these Decorations actually work? I chose this particular topic because….(give three reasons why?) Because we have an interest in Decorations. Because we have always wanted to do Decorations. Because we like decorating and making crafts and Decorations are like crafts. What are some possible ways I could share my learning?  Choose 3 possible ways. 1) Slideshow - Showing how our Decorations  work. 2) Poster - To show pictures of our progress and our finished product. 3) Diorama - So then we can show what our Passion Project is about. What materials will I need to accomplish my task? A computer - for research. And not sure what but stuff for our Decorations. What problems do I foresee occurring during this project and wha...

WEEK 2 REFLECTION What did I achieve this week during Passion Project time? We achieved making our own glow balls and when you shake them you will be able to see the glitter in them if you shake them. What challenges did I have? We had challenges getting the inside of the glass to show properly because the water melts with the die and so then it is hard to see through it. What am I going to work on next week? We are going to make bows that we can put on our jars to decorate with so they can be more pretty.

WEEK 2 REFLECTION What Learning did you find challenging this week? I found my inquiry hard because it was hard to keep up to the video while I was watching the video and writing at the same time. The video and explanation didn't give me enough time to write all the facts down in one look at the screen. How did you use a growth mindset to overcome these learning challenges? I used a growth mindset by realising that Mr g was actually writing the main points onto the whiteboard so I could just add the main points onto my book so then I could get my work done. What is the piece of the work you are most proud of this week? I am most proud of my rich math task in math when you have to make a shape with the instructions. Why are you proud if it? I am proud of it because even though at first I didn't know how to do it but I still followed the instructions to do it.
