WEEK 7 REFLECTION What Learning did you find challenging this week? This week I found reading challenging because there were a lot of hard words that I didn't know how to pronounce because we were reading about tectonic plates. How did you use a growth mindset to overcome these learning challenges? I highlighted the words that I didn't know so Mr J could  tell us what the words  meant and so when we do our I think that means statement  we would know what  the words mean and not just say random words. What is the piece of the work you are most proud of this week? I am most proud of my inquiry about Iceland and its volcanoes.  Why are you proud if it? I am proud of it Because  I got lots of facts about  I ce land so when I did my  slides I would have enough  facts to full my science slide up.    

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 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 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.
